Yeah. We have limited capacity to use every day. So I try just keep the brain away from stimulation as much as I can and use it only on useful stuff.

Django for Startup Founders: A better software architecture for SaaS startups and consumer apps: https://web.archive.org/web/20210624040717/https://alexkrupp...

This article is very useful.

I use DRF but not serializers and write validations by hand because it is too abstract for me.

My views just call services and return the result.

Why Air series prices have not increased? Planning to buy an M2 Air, 32+1TB

So it is "just" backing up the encrypted db dump to a remote server? Still works and is perfect

I know startups who don't publish to certain EU countries because they have to fill "a big scary form"

I just tried it. It is awesome!

Can you add an indicator to show whether the tool is currently running or not running (due to - no prompt, API error, waiting for permission etc)

I use LLMs to design things and build wireframes. Product people can actually play with the wireframes and it's trivial to implement changes. And same LLM generated files can be used to guide the LLM to build the actual pages too.

> Recently, Uber's chief exec claimed there was no link between AI 'tokenmaxxing' and shipping useful products. It's a phenomenon perhaps most keenly reported at Amazon (which some X users have speculated may be the mystery company in question), where employees are said to have been caught inflating AI token consumption to meet internal targets.

So it's Amazon?

I was using my company dev machine via Windows RDP remotely during Covid and installed Glasswire which by default blocks all traffic so I lost access. No one was there to uninstall it so I continued development in my personal machine.

I tested every "lifetime" Mac app posted on R/macapps for 7 weeks
