literally what is the upside? They're supposedly worth as much as meta despite having nowhere near the customer base or years of work? How much more valuation do they have to trick people into giving them before investors get a return?

They're not driving cybertrucks, is the point.

"I don't pay to get rid of ads, so I get bottom-of-the-barrel scam products hoisted at me. This is AI's fault, somehow, and not how the web has worked since nearly its inception."

We are a nation of dullards, entertained away from our real problems by billionaires jingling keys in our faces.

The plural of anecdote is not fact.

Are there _still_ only a few computers in the world, or has access massively expanded in a way we can anticipate for AI?

Why didn't anybody tell me about Redis hash slots?

IMHO not rolling your own auth is asking for stuff like this to happen.

Where does it say it isn't the easiest language to write? It says the exact opposite in the second paragraph.

Literally within this thread someone has already suggested using ruff instead of Black and nobody here are colleagues.

When I joined my first startup, they said if you didn't have a good plan for going public or getting acquired by series C, then the D in series D stood for death. Uber et al raised like a J round. None of the rules around markets or investments are real, it's all vibes-based, and the decision-makers love talking to their ChatGPT mistresses too much to let this all come crashing down.

Probably safer to assume that they always had someone serving in this position and they recently left.

it sounds more like they can choose not to work with you just like in America, but maybe the reasons are allowed to be more spurious

It's hilarious how much this post reads as drafted by an LLM. The emdash, "it's not X, it's Y" framing, incredible.
