<p>It kind of makes sense for it to be a partnership with Back Market, which also sells used hardware.<p>That way, the ChromeOS USB key can be an add on to the purchase of some old laptop that can barely run Windows anymore.</p>

<p>> people who have never used the product and don't think like or accurately represent our users<p>I agree completely that these are the important qualifications to be setting direction for a product.<p>> Find your most socially competent engineer, and have them talk to users a couple times a month.<p>This doesn't necessarily follow from the above, but in Anthropic's case specifically, where the users are software engineers, it probably would have worked better than whatever they have going on now.<p>In general, it's probably better to have domain experts doing product management, as opposed to someone who is trained in product management.</p>

<p>If you are looking for another self-hostable alternative to Slack, Rocket chat[0] is also worth looking at.<p>I wasn't involved in any of the Dev Ops aspect when my former employer used them, but the search function actually worked which is better than I can say for Slack.<p>[0]<a href="https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/blob/develop/LICENSE" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/blob/develop/LICEN...</a></p>

<p>The average answer writer on SO is not actually that toxic: really it's the voters.<p>The top answer will almost always be an explanation of why the asker is wrong to want to do the thing they want to do.  But that's not most answers, or most answerers, just the top ones.<p>The bottom answer will almost always be an honest attempt to write code that answers the question.  Sometimes the code doesn't work, or needs explanation: these problems will be solved a couple answers up from the bottom.<p>My technique for years has been to click the SO link in search results, then hit End on my keyboard to jump to the bottom of the page.  This a little slower than reading a cached LLM answer, but faster than waiting for the LLMs to generate something.</p>
