Another user said this, but I'm going to echo it -- Firefox opened up the LLM chat sidebar one time. I closed it. It's stayed closed. It hasn't asked me to open it again. I don't understand the hatred for something you can just _not use_. People will use it if they want to. Firefox also has a very tiny market share in comparison to other browsers.

Friel, It's no surprise to see you here posting this. This is so cool to see, thank you for preserving this. A fitting tribute.

Hey Mitchell,

Best of luck in the future! I'm a nobody - but I was around in the packer days and wrote a post-processor and terraform provider for our vsphere back in the day. I don't think I'd be where I am now without those experiences. Thanks!

I can't imagine it wouldn't be easier to build something like early FaceBook today. There was no GCP / AWS / Azure / whatever back then. We were still racking servers, and we liked it.

I say this as a former android dev, whose app was #1 in paid A/V apps back when Flash was still a thing... Couldn't convince me to use and android device these days.

I think this is a naive approach. Yes, a lot of us on HN are software capable folks but you have to consider the attack surface that is convincing your parents, grandparents, etc to install some custom app that is malicious. Apple would never. Payments is one thing, side-loading on an iPhone is something else entirely.

I gotta agree with you - I have been running services on the internet for 13 years now. I learned bind, I loved bind, I didn't think at all about separating what it did. If you knew its config file syntax, you could make it do it all, and easily.
