I love and hate this feature. I use it all the time with Claude, and find it super useful. At the same time I wish it didn’t exist so I was unable to continue to do work away from my computer. Kinda like the days before mobile phone and when you left the office work mostly ended.

After writing this up we are seriously considering moving to GitLab.

I thought the link in the article about FDR also quite interesting. https://commonplacefacts.com/2022/02/23/fdrs-fishing-trip-an...

I think they are releasing the native app so they can have the omni-present ask bar that some people I assume like. Also I assume their CLI will be eventually integrated into this app.

As a builder/developer, marketing often isn't considered "fun". But you need to do it, else the build was for your personal entertainment/learning exp (which is sometimes a good thing).

What I do is stop building and focus 100% on marketing - well, 90% because I can't help myself. Even if this isn't as "fun", you need to switch modes and stop building.

As for my approach, I start with Google Ads + SEO/AEO. Google ads can get results in a few weeks (Google does have a learning phase) and SEO and AEO is a much longer process, which can be months before you see results. I use AHREF to check my SEO/AEO progress. While AHREF isn't a direct measurement of Google, I've found their DR to be correlated with my organic traffic.

“ The model, code-named Avocado, outperformed Meta’s previous A.I. model and did better than Google’s Gemini 2.5 model from March, two of the people said. But it has not performed as strongly as Gemini 3.0 from November, they said.”

So in two months they will make it better than 3.1? But by then there will probably be even newer models. It would be great if we get another competing model, but it isn’t going to be easy for Meta.

The SSD speed increase seems to be the most interesting enhancement.

- "The agent mapped the attack surface and found the API documentation publicly exposed — over 200 endpoints, fully documented. Most required authentication. Twenty-two didn't."

Well, there you go.

I’m tired of every AI capability at SaaS companies charging usage fees. I get it: they both have their own token costs and want to make a profit on the feature. But it makes a $50 a month product potentially hundreds if I’m not careful. For example our customer chat tool with AI on is going to be hundreds a month instead of the $39/mo we pay. We turned off the AI capability.

It might go that way - skip the higher level languages or an AI fit to purpose language. Right now we want to have a comfort feeling for being able to read the code if we need to. I would love to see a study of a year ago the percentage of code reviewed vs today’s AI generated code

For a reprint from a newspaper there seems to be a lot of spelling mistakes…rally.

Closure is awesome, but I wouldn’t define it as niche.

I’m a big fan of upptime. https://upptime.js.org/

I’m also a fan of Bubble and have made a few dashboards and apps with it.

I’m listening to Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson right now, read by them. They are fantastic.

A plug here, but we built an app around tracking Firebase usage and costs because there it a worry about getting a big monthly bill. Check it out at https://www.firerun.io

Canny.io doesn’t have a free tier for bootstrapping.

First off, thank you for building and sharing with the community. I have built a few landing pages with React and always end up regretting because you always need a React developer to maintain. I think best to build the landing pages (about, homepage, faq, etc) in something a non tech person can use like Wordpress or at least Hugo (markdown). You don’t need to bring in a React developer when you want to add a new marketing section to the homepage.

I write about programming and recently about Firebase. You would want to read it if you use Firebase or are interested in learning about it.

I am working on a way to better track and gain transparency into your Firebase costs. The goal is prevent you from getting a surprise bill at the end of the month. I’ve started out with a daily and month end reports of your usage and costs. I’ve even been able to give cost metrics that aren’t in the Firebase console. Eventually will have a dashboard so you can dive into your historical costs and setup custom alert that are more fine grained than what google allows.

The zoning laws actually help the diversity, aesthetics aside. As the laws change, the buildings change with it. Some bulky and tall, now skinny and short. The buildings of the era are influenced from the changing laws.
