SAAS founder. I love to teach what I know even if I am no expert. It is simple. Teaching makes you better. I love to ask the "why" and not just the "what" or "how". I also am a geek and builder by nature.

You missed the point. It is tied to an actual fiat currency. That was my point. USD/GBP etc etc. Again, 9/10 people who are "cypto investors" wouldnt care unless they could cash the crypto for real fiat money.

It is tied to the dollar. If 1 bitcoin was not worth a gazillion dollars, no one would be buying or selling it.

The whole "No one gets fired for using IBM" analogy.

"There are normal people that cant even have a bank account in their homeland"

And I feel for them but 2 wrongs don't make a right. Crypto is not the answer for that problem.

It is not even remotely the same comparison. AI has real tangible use and benefit. Crypto has none except scams and get rich quick.

Yea I just don't see any real benefit and it has been almost 20 years. This is why I immediately lose respect for anyone who still peddles crypto even though there were some well meaningful people in early days.

I am a regular guy but I just never understood the point of Crypto other than for scams and get rich quick schemes. Not to mention it still is tied to the dollar for value which defeats the entire purpose doesn't it ? I thought it was supposed to be an independent currency. And then you have companies like coinbase which are centralizing something that was supposed to be decentralized ? I just don't get it.

I am confused. Is this attack possible even after the PHP patches OR these servers just didn't patch ?

I am a founder of a software company so I am not a traditional software dev anymore. However, we are doubling down on AI and improving tons of internal and customer facing solutions with AI. This will impact some people for sure.

Anyone who is just an order taker or bills by the hour or keeps people waiting too long is going to be eliminated by AI. That is the brutal and honest truth. Companies have always wanted to move fast and now AI removes the dependency on humans to a great extent. I personally have started coding again with AI to move things faster at our company. Not in everything but for anything new/experiements/product dev work.

Tthere are tons of opportunities for senior devs to adjust and use AI to make them more valuable. If you work a regular corporate 9-5, your options may be limited unless you have a say. But if you work for yourself or smaller companies, get on the AI bandwagon if you want to keep you job and excel further. For example, one of my close friends is very senior level at a company and she is now vibe coding in house tools and working with her management team to show the ROI. She otherwise manages a team of over 1000+ people across global locations.

Remember, if you can't beat them, join them. Good luck.

Few things:

- Your website confused me and I had no idea who you are. You may want to add a menu or "About Me" page etc at the minimum.

- Design jobs are becoming more rare because of AI (in my opinion as a founder myself). I want to move fast and I can prototype with tools like v0 or claude etc. May be I am not the right fit for what you do but most founders may not be looking for a "designer" anymore. This is something you have to think about.

I think that no one is going to hire only "designers" or even "frontend" devs. Now you need to be fullstack and own the end to end AND move fast with AI tools. I say this as a founder who recently ended a frontend role for someone who wanted to only work async on "tasks" based on requirements and that is not needed anymore. I just talk to my AI tool now and get things done for the most part especially for prototyping/brainstorming ideas.

If you want to move extremely fast in development/programming, you are right that you are better off with a good senior with Max Plan. But running a company/startup is not just about writing code. So the question is not about junior vs senior but about what type of humans you want to hire to help grow the startup. Start there.

No. Because that won't do anything and we will have yet another stupid law on the books. How far will go anyway ? What about banning Smart Glasses ? What about cameras that are installed everywhere ?

As far as privacy is concerned, that ship has sailed. When you are out in public, you should assume that someone/something is always recording you. You cannot beat them all. A fact of modern life in 2026. I don't necessarily like it but thats the way it is.

Your pricing page calculator is a bit strange. The minimum daily is set to 1 TB which is too high. Are you not interested in working with companies that have lesser ingestion ?

It was a tongue in cheek comment. No one can win the surveillance battle with today's tech. I have given up on that a while ago but I do try to protect whatever I can.
