I am sorry, I am probably just very dumb, but this sounds extremely wasteful. If this is a reflection of how software was made before AI I wonder how anything was ever made.

Amigo! If you're not a professional video editor but you have to, occasionally, make long videos shorter or just remove awkward silences, etc., the cut page is a godsend. You grab the knife tool, bim, bam, boom, you're done.

One of the first thing I did with Claude Code was to tell it to never credit itself in commits. Same with other AI coding tools.

> what makes this different from the native html video element?

You don't realize how blessed you are to not know the answer to that question and to never ever have to say "Screw it, I'll just use video.js".

If by "American" you mean "Unitedstatesian" then I agree. But Latinamerican food is worlds apart from what the US and Canada eat.

I've been looking for something like this to coordinate volunteers. Per seat pricing makes it impossible for us to use any existing tool, so we stick to WhatsApp which is productivity hell.

Well, there's one more hard requirement. We need the tool to work in Spanish. It's unbelievable how many apps refuse to localize their app, taking into account how easy it is too keep a good localized app in many languages. You're early stage, so this would be a good time adding i18n, l10n. If you want help dealing with that, I can help.

Of course it has nothing to do with his tattoos.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how these days having a tattoo, no matter which, is a potential one-way ticket to a prison in El Salvador. That's a very good reason to having them removed.

> Wait, is the angle of the book that she’s a good person? That can’t possibly be right…

Well, she paints herself as an idealist who believes Facebook can be an agent of [presumably positive] change, so at least she thinks of herself as good in some sense of the word. That’s what I found intriguing about that shark attack prologue. If it had been written by a third person or if this were a novelization, it would feel like a character-revealing moment, telling the audience that she’s actually selfish and self-absorbed, and setting expectations for her behavior before getting into the story.

Did you find the author/narrator very unlikable?

[mild spoilers ahead]

I was tempted to stop reading after the shark attack story when she wakes up in the hospital and declares "I saved myself". Ugh. But I think it makes narrative sense: why would a good person stay at the company after all she has witnessed? It also makes the company leaders seem so much worse in comparison.

One more thing: Is it credible that she had such a high profile job for so long and still be worried about money?
