A personal anecdote:

I had several roommates, and we each were responsible for a utility. I was responsible for internet, and Cox was our provider.

I received multiple e-mails from Cox about copyright infringement. I can't recall them, but I remember it being serious enough for me to tell people to stop.

Thinking back, I feel like Cox's position is right and fair; let users know they're being observed by copyright holders, and inform the user that they could be compelled to provide their identity to complainants.

But ultimately, the responsibility to "stop" the supposed infringement is on the holder, not Cox.

One very minor note; Anthropic and others, like most "enterprise" solution, also sell SSO + SCIM + audit logs. Their business plans have lower tokens and higher prices to cover the enterprise features, which should be essentially free to provide in 2026.

I think people will be quick to engage with the "ai is risky" angle, but the thing that jumps out to me is that you were working against a production state in the first place.

The agent made a mistake that plenty of humans have made. A separate staging environment on real infrastructure goes a long way. Test and document your command sequence / rollout plan there before running it against production. Especially for any project with meaningful data or users.

a redis geospatial index + redis distribution locks you can build a performant cache layer that is consumed by a ton of people and stay well under that rate limit.... the weather data only updates every 5 minutes too, so you can use that for your cache ttl.

Nice, you fed bullet points into the LLM to make a book. I can stuff your book into an LLM to make bullet points. It's like a wonky non-deterministic hash for both of us to save time and give the author some feel good dopamine at the expense of tokens + authenticity!

I'm a Claude Code user primarily. The best UI based orchestrator I've used is Zenflow by Zencoder.ai -- I am in no way affiliated with them, but their UI / tool can connect to any model or service you have. They offer their own model but I've not used it.

What I like is that the sessions are highly configurable from their plan.md which translates a md document into a process. So you can tweak and add steps. This is similar to some of the other workflow tools I've seen around hooks and such -- but presented in a way that is easy for me to use. I also like that it can update the plan.md as it goes to dynamically add steps and even add "hooks" as needed based on the problem.

Thanks in advance, I can't wait to see your prompts and how you architected this...

I'm curious about the "cheaper" claim -- I checked Kimi pricing, and it's a $200/mo subscription too?

I hear this a lot from Americans, that the percentage of Americans that align with the current right-wing party is actually low. Sometimes you'll see people state that a lot of the right-wing posts you see online are mostly bots.

It's curious to me though, that:

The majority of state governorships,

The majority of state congresses,

The majority of law enforcement,

The majority of military members,

The majority of the US house,

The majority of the US senate,

The majority of the US labor unions,

The majority of the US corporations,

The majority of the US media organizations; both legacy and new,

The majority of the US Supreme Court,

and of course the US Executive branch....

... all belong to the right-wing party we're supposed to believe, according to online rhetoric, is actually only backed by ~30% of Americans. You'd expect a more broad and public resistance if that were true?

Supposedly the centrists and left-wing party members are the silent majority while the right-wing party enacts their agenda with no resistance?

I think the reality is; what we see and hear in the real world is who the US truly is.

Entirely anecdotal: most Americans don't really get it. When people sign up for health insurance through HealthCare.gov, they're just picking a plan and paying their monthly bill. The website doesn't really make it front and center that it's ACA.

People may think they're paying full price because they make some monthly premium payment... which isn't true, as either the government subsidizes a portion of the premium, or you're getting group rates that are way cheaper than if you tried to buy insurance on your own. So even "full price" is receiving a form of subsidization through the operation of the program.

The disconnect is that the media and politicians talk about Obamacare like it's this free healthcare giveaway, so people who pay anything assume they're not on it. They could literally be using the ACA marketplace with 0 understanding that it's "Obamacare". Most people just perceive ACA as government overreach into healthcare, not realizing they're benefiting.

I'm sure it's by design.

I would wager sky.app will find themselves acquired by Apple before the end of 2026.

I've been maintaining SOC2 certification for multiple years, and I'm here to say that it's largely performative and an ineffective indicator of security posture.

The SOC2 framework is complex and compliance can be expensive. This can lead organizations to focus on ticking the boxes rather than implementing meaningful security controls.

SOC2 is not a good universal metric for understanding an organization's security culture. It's frightening that this is the best we have for now.

a bit off topic, but a big struggle that is growing related to data and databases; managing data residency. I've not found an easy way to handle this and countries seem to be passing more and more laws... it's tough for global applications!

Can you elaborate with an example? I'm unfamiliar with reddit and it's content management. I'm unsure if the premise of "AI" moderation is true, how it could moderate beyond a pattern or behavior since it can't reasonably be scanning every post and comment for political affiliation?

Atlassian, the folks behind bitbucket, jira, and (now) trello have a self hosted product: https://www.atlassian.com/software/hipchat

They also have a Slack alternative, called Stride.

To provide an anecdote for the effect this has on your life. I worked 70+ hours minimum (106 was my "record") for 5 years and averaged 4 hours and 45 minutes of sleep per night. It was spread out over 6 days a week which made it a little easier.. but it wasn't worth it.

I couldn't keep any intimate relationship, pretty much just dated very casually over that time.

Rarely saw my family.

Saw my friends so infrequently, that I may as well have lived 2,000 miles away. It was a big event any time I saw them which was usually once every 2-3 months.

My blood pressure reached full blown hypertension levels and I needed medication.

It's not a healthy way to live and I've undoubtedly erased years from the end of my life as a result. I don't care how motivated or passionate you are about what you do, this work load isn't sustainable and will forever be a "Dark Ages" era of my own life.

Not that it's much better, but I thought iOS now required 6 digits going forward?

What about bootcamp projects on the resume that are solo projects? I have 3 bootcamp projects on my resume and was the only contributor to all 3.
