Track recording in comaps is super finicky, at least for me. I’ve lost multiple recordings while checking the map mid hike.

I can’t say what the exact cause is. Should probably work that out. But I’ve taken to recording using it and all trails at the at the same time with plans to bring the missing data over to comaps at some point.

Does Fastmail really get push? I have a vague recollection that the reason I’m using their app over native ios Mail is because ios Mail was notifying me about emails with a noticeable delay.

If you’re reviewing every change then what does “vibe coding” even mean?

I wasn't so much saying that there should be plenty of documentation generated during a meeting as saying that there should be plenty of documentation prior to the meeting. That the meeting is based on.

Even if the final nod of agreement happens in real time the actual decision making process for critical product features should involve planning, thinking, research, etc. There should be a strong paper trail such that everyone knows what the decision is going to be prior to the "everyone gets together and declares this is how things are going to be" step.

If them missing some meetings means they're in the dark as to how those features were decided on then I can't see that as a defence of attending every meeting so much as a statement of BS meetings being so predominant in the company that all decisions are made through a BS process.

Their already existing chat app is what “ai” means to my normie friends.

If I ask the question myself then there's no step where a human expert has vetted the content and put their name on it. That curation and vouching is of value.

Now your mind might have immediately went "pffff as if they're doing that" and I agree but only to the extent that it largely wasn't happening prior to AI anyway. The vast majority of internet content was already low quality and rushed out by low paid writers who lacked expertise in what they were writing about. AI doesn't change that.

Are streaming services really measuring value in terms of minutes watched? I would have thought they’d have better methods of tracking which shows generate subscriptions and retention.

Implementation is what takes that raw R&D and uses it to solve problems real problems, which is where it derives it value. Armies of people slightly modifying slightly different saas is how those foundational ML models end up in the everymans workflow.

Humans are social animals.

Your tribe were the people you worked with at Loom. When you left your tribe became only your girlfriend. What are you going to do? Have perfect harmony with 100% of your tribe forever? Of course not. Of course you fought. Because on top of lover she now fulfils all sorts of roles including rival, competitor, and nemesis.

You need to pick a group, any group, and stick with it.

Jumping around both physically and vocationally is not only not going to help you, it's going to make integrating yourself in to a group way harder.

Why have you not covered the elements that make it look very thoughtful/intentional?
