<p>How are you managing it with ChatGPT? I've always found Claude relatively easy to do it with, but unless they've changed it in the last few weeks it's hard with ChatGPT.<p>Edit: I should add I often want to keep one or two reference chats, so the "nuke all chats" button doesn't work for me.</p>

<p>When did you last try this? Here's a prompt for you:<p>> It's really important to me you make sensible decisions here, and don't bother me with the small stuff. I want a plant-watering app me and my wife can share, that shows who watered which plants in our house. I'll deploy this on my home server with Coolify. The app should be attractive, work both on desktop and mobile. We have a bunch of cases where we have multiples of one plant type. We'll need separate users, but don't go overboard with auth. I want to impress her, so let's lean on the side of more rather than fewer, features, but I don't really wanna run anything that won't just fit in a single container with some persistent storage. We're the only two users who'll ever actually give this a go. Visually attractive is important to me.</p>

<p>Why do you think they originally had inclusion criteria, and have the reasons for having those criteria changed? Why do you think Musk has made it so clear that he’s strongly weighting that inclusion in his choices?</p>

<p>It was unlikely to happen anywhere but the Nasdaq-100, because only Nasdaq has the incentive to do it: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48411713">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48411713</a></p>

<p>Yeah, this has taken me several readings to understand, I guess because I hadn't really dug into it or thought about it, and also a lot the articles talk about "stock exchanges competing for SpaceX's business".<p>This whole story is about Nasdaq (company) specifically dangling inclusion into the Nasdaq-100 (index) as a means to get SpaceX to list on the Nasdaq (market). They're uniquely able to do this by owning a market and also an index that people care about.<p>NYSE couldn’t really do this because its own indices don’t matter much. FTSE Russell could theoretically make FTSE 100 inclusion easier to help attract a company to list on the London Stock Exchange, but SpaceX choosing London as its primary market would be odd. S&P Dow Jones Indices has no equivalent incentive, because it doesn’t own a listing venue; its main asset is the credibility of the S&P 500.<p>In all, this entire story has been about Nasdaq specifically being willing to weaken their index rules in order to attract SpaceX to their market.</p>
