Boz, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts if you had become the CTO at Facebook after joining as the 10,010th engineer, not the 10th. Pretty much everyone on this forum would have become the CTO at Facebook if they had been employee #10.

Who cares what Zuckerberg says about AI agents? He is a PHP developer from the early '00s who got lucky with Facebook. He's not an AI scientist or an AI researcher. What authority does he have to speak on the future of AI agents? Morale at his company is at an ATL, and that says more about his leadership skills he'd better off focusing on, otherwise the agents might replace him soon.

Personally, I avoid all cars that have CarPlay. This technology has nothing to do with a car. It's just a phone on a bigger screen, pure marketing by Apple that stifles innovation within the car manufacturing industry. I love Apple products, but CarPlay is boring af. And don't get me wrong i do understand why people love CarPlay. Problem is, majority of people don't know why CarPlay is so bad - many haven't used anything better, and they won't, because Apple stifles innovation in this space. It's a loop.

Thanks for your extremely useful feedback.

> I will also echo what others have said: allowing another account access to ours is a non-starter, even if Read-Only. It needs to use a security principal we have complete control over.

You own and control the IAM role, not us. You allow Atlasphere to assume that role, and then Atlasphere's discovery service uses it to discover your resources.

Technically, Atlasphere doesn't need a ton of permissions. If you create a role that can only list, say, Lambda functions, then Atlasphere will only find Lambda functions.

IAM provides a default ReadOnly policy that can be attached to any role. This was the simplest way for me to get things going. But ReadOnly is indeed way too broad. I could generate an IAM policy based on the AWS services that Atlasphere can work with.

> I can tell from this post and the site that this is a labor of love, and I hope you keep up the good work. Like I said, this is an area where we need more, better tools. I want projects like this to succeed.

Thanks a ton! There are mind-blowing features in the roadmap. I want Atlasphere to succeed.

The application is free. But I apologize, where is the confusion coming from?

Hey! I did get approval, so fingers-crossed I'm good here :)

Yea, that cross-account trust is a good call out. I'll need to spend time thinking more about it. Is there anything i could do such that you could say: 'Well, in this case I'm fine with cross-account access from a stranger like you'?

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do agree with you and that was not intentional. Do you actually see the pricing table in the app? I thought it's matching the website. I might have missed dropping the "upgrade" badge. I haven't fully figured the pricing model yet, so i thought hiding everything billing related for now is the simplest path forward.

Microsoft doesn't get it. People don't buy MacBooks because they're powerful. People buy MacBooks because they love macOS.

The guy (Jony Ive) could've just used ChatGPT. Here is the $640k Ferrari everybody expects - https://ibb.co/GfgGjQQD

Holy smokes this looks bad, nothing like Ferrari. The car was designed by Jony Ive, but from what I can see, he has zero experience designing cars. The asking price is $640k, which is absolutely hilarious. They should've published a render on April Fool's day instead.

I wonder if they are actually 'acquiring' some of the existing contracts between Cursor and X/Y/Z rather than the product itself.

Could be contracts.

> And the commenter aren't wrong when they blame the administration. They wouldn't be wrong to blame previous administrations either. But the previous administrations aren't in power right now

They are wrong. The current administration did not make a call to widen the permissions or make it intentionally overly broad.

> This pretty much insinuates Biden (and Trump v1, and Obama, and Bush) didn't fix it.

Why do you believe the president is responsible? Could be just a lazy contractor.

Given that all other apps follow the same pattern, I insist that it has nothing to do with any sitting administration.
