AI coding tools can really make the "in the next week, I’ll do a whole month’s work. and no one will know" feel especially tempting, particularly if you're deep in the execution phase of a project. Truth is that can end up like Brooks's law on steroids.

Instead, just communicate with your stakeholders asap. Chances are they already know the project is at risk, and they'll be amendable to either descoping or pushing back the deadline.

100%. My team started using graphite.dev, which provides AI generated PR descriptions that are so bloated with useless content that I've learned to just ignore them. The issue is they are doing a kind of reverse inference from the code changes to a human-readable description, which doesn't actually capture the intent behind the changes.

As a Mac user, Notepad++ is the only thing I miss from the Windows ecosystem.

I just cancelled my Kagi subscription over the weekend. Some of the ideas in the article resonate (the dev team seems spread way too thin) but I also decided that the main product just wasn't distinct enough. The lens and quick answers features were nice, but otherwise the search results were not that different from Google's -- Having just switched back, I haven't noticed a significant difference.

I also think this product might be a bit too late. GPT4 has been out for over a year now, and it's changed how I look for answers. I tried FastGPT but like the author I found it lacking. As it stands, Perplexity feels more like the future of search than Kagi.

I’m disappointed, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I once tried to contact their support team after getting effectively locked out of my account, only to have the support form return a 5XX error upon submission. I dropped them right then and there.

There kind of is, it’s call HR-XML and a number of COTS resume parsers output their results in this format.

It would be a mass customer extinction event for said service, and would effectively result in a windfall for competing services

Simply cut a small rectangle out of the sticky part of a Post-It note for a safe camera cover that easy to remove and reuse.

This is starting to look like a customer extinction level incident — Any idea which competing service their users / wsb will likely move to?
