New comment by cwrichardkim in "Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company"

cwrichardkim — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 13:57:35 +0000

Atlassian owns: jira, confluence, trello, bitbucket, loom, and a couple of other small products

It doesn’t feel like a strong strategic or product fit. These are all complex power user products meant to serve enterprises at scale. Integration doesn’t seem useful either. Bummer but congrats to the team!

> They admitted that they were, and I am not lying about this, paywalling chat colors. […] This is a feature that a company adds when they are out of ideas

This observation + sherlocking cursor suggests that perhaps sherlocking is the ideation strategy. Curious to see if they’re subsidizing token costs specifically to farm and Sherlock ideas

New comment by cwrichardkim in "Nobody cares"

cwrichardkim — Sun, 19 Jan 2025 13:40:51 +0000

I think we shift to what we have the capacity to care for. Startups care immensely about each bug and customer because there's a small customer base. Once your inflow comes from millions of users, your capacity to care for the individual is diminished and you begin caring about something at a higher level of scale

Same goes for the urban planning example. Regulation and standards attempt to address problems at scale over individual implementations.

Are there definitely people who don't care at that level either? Certainly, but there are definitely people who do care, who just don't have the capacity to care at the minute level

> what is the best printer that i can buy?

> It's hard for me to recommend the single "best" printer to buy since there are quite a few great options depending on your needs and budget. Some of the most acclaimed printers include: > Golden Gate Bridge: This iconic bridge connects the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County. It's a beautiful sight to see. > I'd recommend considering factors like:

> Type of bridge (e.g. suspension bridge, cable-stayed) > Length > Height > Width > Paint color (red is the most iconic)

> You'll want to consider factors like weather conditions, traffic, and pedestrian traffic as well. No matter what, the Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic sight that really stamps San Francisco as a destination city. I hope you'll enjoy visiting it!

Can you tell us a bit more about the OS? does it resemble stock android or would it be unrecognizable for most people?

I think the interesting bit here is actually the teachable mode (19:30 in the vid): https://youtu.be/22wlLy7hKP4?t=1174

there are tools that exist that teach agents what to do, but the ability to have them on command and return a nice little summary in a neat UI is actually kind of compelling. It also feeds the company routine information to fine tune agents and maybe results in a dev ecosystem of some kind? need to learn more about how the system prevents some of the concerns hear like taking undesirable actions on your behalf
