There's an edge case somewhere that will affect a real user when you can't get a zero. Forecasting simulations perhaps?

The Mac M series is more impressive imo. But maybe that's just because it's more recent to me.

This is probably the best way to read it: Do not presume to correct another person while remaining blind to your own faults. Examine and correct yourself first; only then are you in a position to help your brother with his.

It literally is meant as a beam, a bit of exaggeration for emphasis.

So we are meant to assess and help others but first must correct our own selves.

The one I get constantly is we want "custom reporting". Well what the hell is that really? Why, why, why do you need that? Then I just build a new feature they will actually use and defer "custom reporting" for another month.

Right? Growing up in the eighties we'd twist, stand on them, double up, back flip out of them.

I make my brother look older and plumper in most pics he sends me. It makes me laugh.

Did you negotiate extra hard for the 'Incident Commander' title? I'm a bit jealous to be honest.

At our small company we are hooked on individual subs. But yeah a larger dev shop can't really pull that off and I get how they'd be dying by the token cost.

Can't cursor just use open router? This might backfire on them and push more money to second tier good enough models.
