My biggest pet peeve now that most other productivity problems have been solved
- Most day-to-day computer work happens across about 2 dozen SaaS apps
- Have to constantly re-log-in to most of them - 2fa flows etc.
- Many are slow.
- Often you need to be logged in to 2 accounts at once.
Result: Just getting basic tasks done each day can feel like a slog
Strikes me that having custom frontends at the OS level could alleviate this somewhat - let the providers expose the API and let the OS handle the UI, which would like be some form of tables with filters and actions.
Wouldn't work with creative tools but would handle most crudware.

@johnrushx Ah I see what you mean. I think that would also apply in Europe though - large variance but places like Ireland, UK, Netherlands, Germany anyone at that level is making a lot more than €36k a year

My twitter feed is giving me a lot of US election stuff at the moment, from both sides of the isle, and it’s wild how people can interpret the exact same soundbite as proof that someone is either extremely villainous or virtuous depending on which ideological lens they’re wearing

It’s wild that people still haven’t properly caught on to what cloudflare workers can do - these kinds of things are a few dozen lines of code that chatGPT can one-shot output from a text prompt.

Announcement: Today we're launching Really Good Software - the first software agency built for the future, that acknowledges....
1) Individual developers augmented with AI will increasingly surpass the capabilities of entire teams, and...
2) In the new world, the dominant Software Agency pricing model (charging for bums on seats and hours worked) will need a significant rethink.
Our answer is an incredibly-priced monthly subscription that gives you all of the ingredients needed to ship great software.

Worst parts of using @heroku :
- Sporadic, but time consuming manual upgrades when you run a lot of apps (upgrading DB, stack, plugins).
- Overpriced "Add Ons" which cause cost to balloon
- Finding the right specs that cover throughput during high-traffic periods without spending too much on a monthly basis.
We've recently found a nice middle ground - using RDS for database, upstash for redis, and letting heroku run the web app & workers - now we can scale compute very easily and one-click resize the database when it starts to struggle.

I work fairly long hours and haven't had a proper holiday in years, but I can decide to go to the cinema with the family at 3pm on a Tuesday or hit the road on a whim, and it's an amazing feeling coming from 10+ years of startup life.
Being a business owner is tough for the first few years but if you stick it out the freedom is unmatched.

Mini Announcement
For the past 2 years we've been building a software agency called Tonic. In the next week, we're going to be launching our Productised Offering - Really Good Software.
The ultimate goal with Really Good Software is to become the obvious answer when someone asks "Do you know of any good freelancers or agencies?". To unlock that we'll have public, transparent pricing, and (soon) a lot of public content - both on the work we're doing, and on our approach.
I've been obsessed with the idea of Building Good Software Affordably since I began building teams over a decade ago. Silicon Valley engineering culture has convinced us that quality is unavoidably expensive, and I would like to show people that with the right approach, it's really not.

There is a third option here. If you combine React Native Stacker and React Native Webview, you can build your app with no turbo, just 100% normal links and forms, and have it feel as smooth as the amazon shopping app (which is also hybrid).

Not to dunk but to provide an alternative perspective. Every single Neo bank is horrendous when you want to do anything slightly atypical, including @RevolutApp. As an example of something atypical - sending payments from an EU country to contractors in the Philippines.

There are Hypertexters and Javascripters.
Both talk a lot about why their way is objectively better, but in reality neither chose their approach for its merits. It was always about personal taste.
Hypertexters prefer writing html, Javascripters prefer writing javascript.

I think @t3dotgg is mostly bad faith, but there is a pretty important point here. The html-over-js-brigade (of which I'm a part) should have better responses and resources to point to when jankiness is raised.
In my experience It's 100% possible to make server-rendered apps that *feel* as good/fast as SPAs. But it does require much more intentionality than is involved if you take a declarative js library off the shelf.

I get annoyed when people imply technology can *only* get better. The fact that no individual or business can have any degree of trust that they can send & receive payments without service interruption, in 2024, is a great example. These companies are too big to provide support, and yet everyone relies on them.

I'd go a step further and say that a cloud based remote-controlled browser is *the thing* in the short term that unlocks the real "AI VA" use case - there simply won't be sufficient API coverage to do everything you can in a browser. But Rabbit's marketing was based on a "Large Action Model" which if this turns out to be true, was dishonest.

It's interesting how people can interpret the same thing so differently.
My experiences - personal, family, friends - is that it's basically impossible to get half-decent, reasonably affordable therapy - not the thing I'd be calling for *more* regulation on.
Personally don't think the AI chat tool is appealing. If it were the case that the alternatives were abundant and affordable then *maybe* would say this kind of thing is harmful. Otherwise this seems like a good example of "It's the worst thing we have, apart from every alternative"

Writing something this polished in this amount of time/code is *so* satisfying. No build step, and full control of the markup. 🤩 https://t.co/qdzgDKWMGf

@dvassallo @syg1ll I can see why you’d come to that conclusion if you’re assuming he’s using the video title for more likes - like most other YouTubers. Having watched a lot of this stuff I don’t think that’s how he operates, which ironically is why he has the trust and power he does.

@joeldrapper Ouch!
Personally find raw html with a little bit of erb to be the clearest, most maintainable way to do it. Although I'd agree when it comes to Rails frontend stuff e.g. <%= turbo_frame_tag %>
Also agree that I'm in a minority and you're probably right that many prefer react

@Mqsley I would pay - would probably prefer yearly sub over paying monthly & potentially delivered as newsletter which links back to website where I can browse by topic

@Mqsley Literally landing page with what you said in the tweet, charge monthly fee for it?
