If the startup is contracting, it sounds like the only potential upside has disappeared. I’ve been in a similar situation before and made the mistake of sticking around, to the detriment of my physical, mental and financial health. Obviously businesses pivot and turn around, but that’s the exception rather than the rule. Most startups fail, and if your startup is starting to falter, I’d say it’s about to prove the rule.

I’ll give you the advice I wish I had:

Run. Start interviewing like crazy and get another job. Good luck.

It's pretty much ALL Omarchy. If you install Arch by itself you get a tty prompt... and that's about it.

Omarchy looks super impressive. Haven't used it myself, but the scripts and dotfiles in the Github repo (https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy) have been inspiring

They're not a model company. The risks of deploying something half-baked to their users is unacceptable. They're taking it slow and trying to do it in a way that doesn't damage/erode their brand.

Wait it out, let the best model(s) rise to the surface (and the hallucination problems to get sufficiently mitigated), and then either partner with a proprietary provider or deploy one of the open source models. Makes more sense than burning billions of dollars training a new foundation model

I’m your target customer but would never use this because it inspires no confidence that when the shit hits the fan (ie: contract dispute) your signing tool will stand up to legal scrutiny. The sales page is all about being cheap and mobile responsive, but it doesn’t mention anything about the legality of document signatures processed through the tool, or the data security/privacy standards you uphold.

DOTS wouldn’t be feasible for a prophylactic treatment like this as the number of participants would be huge and the treatment period is indefinite (ie: the patient’s lifespan)
