This is the worst headline that I ever had the misfortune to lay my eyes on.

I cannot unsee this and it is forever now an additional burden of unwanted knowledge on the existing reality of Japan’s declining population and fertility crisis.

Each time there is a glimmer of hope of a trend reversing or going back to normal, a headline like this just unfortunately confirms in some sense what I already know.

Now this news made this situation even worse.

Happy for them, hoping this is a super strange outlier, But holistically unhappy for the course of humanity.

Sad.

SPAC.

Luminar was an exit scam in the SPAC era, they went public during that time and they have been struggling.

Also Lidar is hugely expensive.

Their Lidar deal with Volvo fell through and now it's bankrupted them.

no.

Why do you need to use Git as a CMS?

That seems backwards and hellish when you want to grow your content and marketing team as they have no clue on how to use this arcane tool.

Now the engineers would need to be bothered by the marketing department time and time again to add blog posts, wasting engineering time.

This is the reason why CMS's like Sanity, Wordpress, Directus exist.

using Git as a CMS doesn't make sense at scale.

> A better approach: Pub/Sub

Citation Needed.

More importantly, benchmarks needed.

Cannot claim something X is better approach than Y without benchmarks, it is an idea but needs to be proven to be better.

Until then, this post is nothing more than yet another opinion.

Assuming you're a builder just do 1 and 2 as small side projects, no need to go full on in an industry that is going to crash anyway.

1 and 2 are now trending essentially to 0.

3. Will get harder to get a job in the years to come.

Stay at your role, build a small side project if you can. Don't leave.

Close.

Stars can be faked and botted. It is not the lock in.

The lock in is the distribution of GitHub, (issues, outside contributions, sponsors, etc)

This person doesn’t seem to be well.

I hope they get help at some point.

Does this really need AI?

Doesn't Google and others do this already?

Is this really a massive problem with humongous 1000x growth potential upside or an IPO?

I hope the VCs and Angels asked the serious questions and not invested because she is the daughter of the Microsoft founder.

I only wonder of the many 99.9999999% of startups were turned down by VCs of funding because "they don't know them", "they didn't go to the same school as me", "too much risk", or the infamous and vague "not now".

Alas, in this brave new world it is great to support our new underdogs.

Ads should not exist at all.

They are psychological, manipulative, influencing tools. It's like an annoying wasp that appears out of nowhere and follows you around.

Nobody asked for this.

When this comes to StackExchange, use a PiHole and protect yourself from this barrage of irrelevant ads.

A friend of mine who raised money once said:

"Before I raised money I had one product, after I raised money now I have two products"

You've now got two products to sell man, the hard work begins.

Good luck.
