optimizethis··on Show HN: HissingKitty – what teams pay for software and what replaced it
I can't get our CEO to replace anything. We pay for 100 tools, including 3 CRMs. Somehow we use Salesforce, Hubspot, and Monday.com

Good call, I restricted Maps API to the US. Opening up to ROW now.
optimizethis··on Show HN: Fly or Tesla – Compare the cost, time, and stress of flights vs. FSD
Hey HN,

Just spent the weekend building something I've been passionate about for the last 7 years. I built Fly or Tesla to figure out when it's actually worth driving instead of dealing with the airport.

FSD is finally getting good enough that all my friends seem to be getting Teslas. Driving all day used to be exhausting. But with FSD, the Tesla does most of the work, which completely changes the math.

The site takes any route and compares flying vs. driving on four things: money, time, stress, and carbon. It's not perfect, so I'd love feedback.

It factors in the hidden stuff—like paying for Ubers to the airport and sitting at the gate for two hours. It compares all that airport friction directly to the total drive time and charging stops.

Personally I hate flying, but I know some people don't mind it.

Flight prices are just estimates, and it assumes 1 or 2 travelers (since putting a whole family in a car is basically always cheaper if you have a family). But I know lots of single people who will drive across country in their Tesla using FSD before getting in a plane.

Let me know what you think. I'd love to know if the cost math and "stress scores" seem accurate for your usual trips.

Thanks for the clarification, that makes a ton of sense. Love the ideea.

Most teams don't want to manage more platforms internally and have enough issues keeping up with their own product. At least that's what I'm hearing from CTOs. CEOs also don't want their CTO managing a bunch of internal tools, they want them delivering customer value.
optimizethis··on The End of Entry Level
Interesting. A lot of the small business owners I talk to with less than 20 employees I think are simply going to try and cut back, cash flow as much as they can, and save for the uncertain future.

I think the flexibility to do great work wherever it makes sense is the point right? And the ability for each of us to "own" the circumstances surrounding where work happens best.
optimizethis··on Ask HN: Is insider trading law enforcable at all in 2021?
Heard a stat yesterday that of every 1,000 insider trading events reported to the SEC they have time to investigate 1 or 2. Not exactly comforting to "retail investors".
