I think the reason for this is that if you're targeting folks for whom Europe-sovereignty resonates as an important factor, those will also care about sovereignty and self-sufficiency in general, and thus just skip your SaaS and go right for (semi) self-hosting.

While for the other side where the sovereignty is not an important factor, it's product quality that matters.

You can absolutely make a European startup that sells B2B SaaS, successfully, it just has to be better than the competition, and being European will not be enough.

Spacelift | Remote (Europe) | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80k-$110k+ (can go higher)

We're a VC-funded startup (recently raised $51M Series C) building an infrastructure orchestrator and collaborative management platform for Infrastructure-as-Code – from OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Kubernetes, to Ansible.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and have a lot of happy and satisfied customers. We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours.

I think it’s worth emphasizing that based on the article, those are third party apps, not first party LG apps.

Based on the headline I thought it’s the built-in apps.

Relatedly, I think it's worth noting that Anthropic models have consistently been top-scoring in BullshitBench[0], in a league of their own, really.

Not affiliated with the bench in any way, but I think it surfaces important differences between the behavior of the models from different labs.

TLDR: The benchmark is measuring pushback in response to nonsensical requests and questions, as opposed to going with it and hallucinating a nonsensical answer.

Hey, I responded to you two months ago[0], the job post has been up for probably 4-5 years by now (in a continuously evolving form).

We’re doing well, are steadily growing, and have been actively hiring backend engineers ever since!

Is there any specific concern you have?

Love the writing style!

> Nothing beats an organic, pasture-raised, hand-written spec.

Hah, I strongly empathize with the wording. I’ve been starting my design docs for fellow humans with “100% hand-written, organic content”, I might steal a part of yours.

Overall, cool idea. I don’t see myself using your SaaS, but the approach of tagging the requirements and constraints to make them easier to find sounds good.

One project you didn’t mention which I think is also, I think, a cool perspective on this is codespeak.dev , but I haven’t given it a go yet.

All in all, I feel like maintaining specs, and having agents translate spec diffs into code diffs is a promising area for the future. Good thing I enjoy writing!

It’s worth noting that e.g. the Go stdlib has this hybrid construction built-in via crypto/hpke.

Small tip, at least for now you can switch back to Opus 4.6, both in the ui and in Claude Code.

I’ve never been one to complain about new models, and also didn’t experience most of the issues folks were citing about Claude Code over the last couple months. I’ve been using it since release, happy with almost each new update.

Until Opus 4.7 - this is the first time I rolled back to a previous model.

Personality-wise it’s the worst of AI, “it’s not x, it’s y”, strong short sentences, in general a bulshitty vibe, also gaslighting me that it fixed something even though it didn’t actually check.

I’m not sure what’s up, maybe it’s tuned for harnesses like Claude Design (which is great btw) where there’s an independent judge to check it, but for now, Opus 4.6 it is.

I would risk a guess that people have a wrong intuition about the long-context pricing and are complaining because of that.

Yeah, the per-token price stays the same, even with large context. But that still means that you're spending 4x more cache-read tokens in a 400k context conversation, on each turn, than you would be in a 100k context conversation.

I've been using it with `/effort max` all the time, and it's been working better than ever.

I think here's part of the problem, it's hard to measure this, and you also don't know in which AB test cohorts you may currently be and how they are affecting results.

Seems like it's not in Claude Code natively yet, but you can do an explicit `/model claude-opus-4-7` and it works.

Honestly, for now they seem to be buying companies built around Open Source projects which otherwise didn't really have a good story to pay for their development long-term anyway. And it seems like the primary reason is just expertise and tooling for building their CLI tools.

As long as they keep the original projects maintained and those aren't just acqui-hires, I think this is almost as good as we can hope for.

(thinking mainly about Bun here as the other one)

A reasonably cool part about this approach (duplicating the commits, though I suppose you could just add your own bookmark on the existing commit, too) is that you can easily diff the current pr state with what you last reviewed, even across rebases, squashes, fixups, etc. Will have to give that a go.

Unfortunately GitHub still doesn't make that easy, and branch `push --force`'s make it really hard to see what changed, would be amazing if they ever fixed that.

In general, I think with the rise of agentic coding, and more review work, I hope we see some innovation in the "code review tooling" space. Not AI reviewers (that's useful too but already works well enough)! I want tools that help the human review code faster, more effectively, and in a more pleasant way.

Of course can't end the comment without the obligatory "jj is great, big recommend, am not affiliated, check out the blog post I wrote a year ago for getting started with it[0]", ha! I'm still very happy with it, no going back.

This is actually... pretty cool?

Definitely won't use it for prod ofc but may try it out for a side-project.

It seems that this is more or less:

  - instead of modules, write specs for your modules
  - on the first go it generates the code (which you review)
  - later, diffs in the spec are translated into diffs in the code (the code is *not* fully regenerated)

this actually sounds pretty usable, esp. if someone likes writing. And wherever you want to dive deep, you can delve down into the code and do "microoptimizations" by rolling something on your own (with what seems to be called here "mixed projects").

That said, not sure if I need a separate tool for this, tbh. Instead of just having markdown files and telling cause to see the md diff and adjust the code accordingly.
