The magic of distillation!

Ex-PagerDuty here. Without weighing in on the criticisms of pricing and innovation with the product, I will say that the value of PagerDuty is its reliability in notifying you when it receives a signal from a system. Rebuilding the product isn't just asking an LLM to spit out a web app to do scheduling, it's in the notification pipeline (SMS, email, push notifications, Slack), maintaining all that and mobile apps too.

Just like Uber itself, this is one of those "I could replace this in a weekend" things that doesn't actually pan out that way.

16 MB RAM required, 32 MB RAM recommended... how refreshing! Great work.

Cursor Remote Agents are important to our AI orchestration layer. It's possible that Claude can do this directly but Cursor Remote Agents made this laughably easy.

You can get any Uber driver to do it for you if you offer to buy them food too and do it off the books.

I just got a Docusign and it didn't work in Firefox, I had to use Chrome. That's a huge blow right there. (I sent negative feedback about this to Docusign.)

>There'll probably be a startup tomorrow that digests user input and boils out the noise to provide a robust enough signal to guide some monitoring agent, and it'll help some cases, and train us to be even worse at others.

This sounds like Enterpret.

By default on a Mac, "smart quotes" is enabled that turns "" into “”. I don't think that's a sign of an LLM. I believe Microsoft Word on all platforms does this too.

This is the course I used online to learn Objective-C and UIKit to make iOS applications, and now I am a Staff iOS Engineer. Nice to see him still doing this.

It doesn't matter what Steve Jobs would or wouldn't do, Tim Cook took Apple to a $3T company and that's where we are.

You don't need this library, it's just an `AlertDialog` wrapper with a check in `SharedPreferences`. It's not particularly well-written.

This is a great idea but what prevents Upwork from kicking him off the platform for pissing them off? Or maybe there’s an arbitration clause in the agreement too?

I think what he meant was, be like me, and to do that, quit those services.
