The parametric slider part is what got me. If it can actually pull good dims from a rough prompt and let me tweak, that's way better than regenerating.

Curious if you plan to include SEC filings or just public sources? That'd be a game changer for startups

Clicked expecting a joke but this is actually kind of beautiful. Love the honesty about it being a provocation not a health tool

2M qps in production is legit. Curious how much RAM and CPU that takes on average per deployment though

Interesting they went with Astro.Makes sense for a form-heavy site. No JS until you need it,and it handles page transitions cleanly.

The article assumes product managers always bring requirements, but I've worked at places where engineers initiated features based on technical debt or pet projects.That flipped the dynamic completely.

How did you come to the conclusion that the middle class in India cannot afford air conditioning，

The part that stuck with me is the chō: 1,500+ walled blocks with gated alleys, the control built right into the streets. A commoner born there would never have known a city that wasn't a grid of gates, so to them it wouldn't feel like a cage at all, just normal. Makes me wonder how much of our own daily background, the zoning, the cameras, the commutes, is just an old answer to some political problem nobody remembers was ever a question.
