<p>I agree with the hard part being managing state, especially environments and ports. I've never used lsof so much in my life.<p>Question on Remote Workspace: Can the remote machine port forward so I can use a browser to see / test current state of the app on the remote machine?</p>

<p>Have always said community solar programs are the way to do residential solar. In those programs, you pay for and own off-site solar panels, then the energy they produce is credited to your electric bill.<p>They end up installed at commercial locations ideal for solar: often on covered parking, in fields, or on industrial roofs. Easier to repair, they can do larger panels, no issues with your roof line or roof condition.</p>

<p>Yes! My son who has autism would eat <i>anything</i> we put in front of him until age 3, when his weight, appetite and health suddenly and alarmingly crashed. Ever since that episode, he's had a much more restrictive diet and food preferences. Night and day.<p>They never successfully identified what happened. Just diagnosed it generally as failure to thrive.</p>

<p>Look I'm speaking here as a career designer:<p>I think design as a "signaling function" for determining the quality of a thing was already broken. It was already possible to put up an impressive-looking site for anything; already possible to to dupe people with cheap product wrapped in fancy packaging.<p>Movies with insane budgets that spend forever in production are often still terrible. One of my favorite songs was written by the artist in a hotel room on a Sunday afternoon.<p>One thing to consider: if it's cheap and immediate to wrap any content in design, it can now also be cheap and immediate to customize the design of content. Maybe we can finally return to a user-focused internet like the one that was promised to us by browser custom style sheets.<p>Finally, I can see democratizing design in this way will make more content more pleasant to look a (which is a win). And we'll also make better decisions with design out of the decision matrixes it doesn't belong in (another win).</p>

<p>Conjecture, but the wording "limited subset" rarely turns out to be good news. Usually a provider will say "less than 1% of our users" or some specific number when they can to ease concerns. My guess is they don't have the visibility or they don't like the number.<p>I feel for the team; security incidents suck. I know they are working hard, I hope they start to communicate more openly and transparently.</p>

<p>I've been part of a response team on a security incident and I really feel for them. However, this initial communication is terrible.<p>Something happened, we won't say what, but it was severe enough to notify law enforcement. What floors me is the only actionable advice is to "review environment variables". What should a customer even do with that advice? Make sure the variable are still there? How would you know if any of them were exposed or leaked?<p>The advice should be to IMMEDIATELY rotate all passwords, access tokens, and any sensitive information shared with Vercel. And then begin to audit access logs, customer data, etc, for unusual activity.<p>The only reason to dramatically overpay for the hosting resources they provide is because you expect them to expertly manage security and stability.<p>I know there is a huge fog of uncertainly in the early stages of an incident, but it spooks me how intentionally vague they seem to be here about what happened and who has been impacted.</p>

<p>Given the same inputs but not provided the results (output) from our accountant, did it come to the same conclusions or have good analysis as to why it differed?<p>Obviously, accounting is "spreadsheet math" intensive, so Claude wrote some python scripts for that which kept the math very stable. But there were some complex nuances that had taken the accountant and I quite a bit of work to track down and clarify. Claude quickly had a very accurate read on the situation and knew all the right clarifying questions.<p>I'm not yet ready to ever sign a return that's been entirely AI prepared, but I left the exercise pretty impressed.</p>

<p>On the subject of metrics, better user-facing metrics to understand and debug usage patterns would be a great addition. I'd love an easier way to understand the ave cost incurred by a specific skill, for example. (If I'm missing something obvious, let me know.)<p>Baking deeper analytics into CC would be helpful... similar to ccusage perhaps: <a href="https://github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage</a></p>

<p>My taxes are rather complex, so I ran the same exercise to see if Claude agreed with my accountant. An automated second opinion, so to speak. Spent about 6 minutes analyzing all the PDFs and basically nailed it perfectly in one shot.<p>My only point here is it sure seems the same activity / use case can have wildly different results across sessions or users. Customer support and product development in the age of non-deterministic  software is a strange, strange beast.</p>

<p>Also with this approach, you actually have a real collection and it's fun to collect things.<p>My son has autism and viewed his Netflix homepage as his personal curated collection. But then, of course, Netflix renegotiates licensing deals and entire seasons or shows just go away. And it really crushes him because it's like they were stolen from his personal collection.<p>So now when I hear him play, the super villain trying to destroy the world is always named Reed Hastings.</p>

<p>There are some easy optimizations wins for this page but none of the top ones are framework related. Maybe with the faster build times they can easily optimize images and 3rd party dependencies. As someone else pointed out, nearly half that data is unoptimized images.<p>For the curious, google's current homepage is a 200kb payload all in, or about 50 times smaller.</p>
