i really have been enjoying pi a lot

at first i thought i was goring to build lots of extra plugins and commands but what ended up working for me is:

- i have a simpel command that pulls context from a linear issue

- simple review command

- project specific skills for common tasks

i use tmux with one open session per project I'm working on.

inside the session using nvim for edits, terminal panes for running tests / commands etc, and increasingly pi as a coding agent instead of claude code.

i sometimes toy around with orchestration projects like capy.ai or conductor but haven't really been impressed.

probably worth noting that usually all code i push will have been written by me. even if LLMs can output the same i find it's usually faster to implement it myself compared to convincing myself that the LLM output is correct.

is it really? this is the most common example for context free languages and something most first year CS students will be familiar with.

totally agree that you can be a great engineer and not be familiar with it, but seems weird for an expert in the field to confidently make wrong statements about this.

Max Howell (creator of homebrew) is also behind tea.xyz

imo that give them some more credibility or at least makes me think that they probably are well intentioned

1) selling

2) my work as a contractor

3) usdc

4) ~11k usdc

5) 2021

6) via email i guess

7) went smoothly, I sent a regular invoice and withdrew via a centralized exchange. Fees for me were lower than receiving an international bank transfer

8) yes

9) the UX is quite bad still, I don’t want to evaporate my salary by mistyping an address. paying ppl in crypto also leads to some pay transparency, I could see how much everyone was making

this sounds like an interesting product and the team clearly has impressive credentials.

I am very sceptical of crowd funding however, I think these are largely terrible investments for consumers while explicitly targeting people who are not accredited investors.

what made you go that route instead of pursuing VC funding?

I have been uncomfortable with eating animal products, for both ethical and environmental reasons, for years now.

There wasn't one event that prompted the change, it was a very gradual process.

I'm not 100% vegan or vegetarian because I sometimes eat canned sardines and eggs but I'd say 95% of my meals are vegan. IMO it's not so helpful to think in terms of strict categories when discussing diet.
