It should. They consolidated their AI offerings last week. You may need to link cursor and grok first.
You need the 30$ premium plan.

I'm looking for a hands-on Staff/Principal or founding engineer role in backend, platform or applied AI. I've spent 15+ years building products and infrastructure for US startups, including as a founding engineer, CTO and VP of Engineering.
Some of my work:
Edge Delta: Built Go backend services and led the platform-wide Angular-to-React migration.
Braid Health: Led engineering in a 3–4 person team building healthcare software for customers including Walmart Health. Worked across the product, EHR integrations and CouchDB/Kubernetes infrastructure.
SellerCrowd: CTO and lead developer of a Django/React platform serving more than 20,000 members.
Most recently, I built an internal AI knowledge assistant with custom tools connecting GitHub, Linear and company resources. The same engagement included AWS/Terraform infrastructure and security controls supporting SOC 2 Type II audit readiness.
I'm particularly interested in developer tools, enterprise integrations, and the backend/platform work behind AI products. I'm also open to broader backend and product engineering roles where I can own substantial parts of the system.
Open to full-time or long-term contract work.

> In 2014 the Philadelphia 76ers drafted Dario Saric, who was playing basketball professionally in Turkey at the time. He announced his intention to finish out his contract in Turkey, meaning he wouldn't come to the USA join the Sixers for a couple of years.
Trivia: Dario Saric returned to Turkey this year after spending 9 years in the NBA.

To the contrary, isn’t the phrase the orange site used as a derogatory sense here? I have seen it used when authors think HN audience just criticize everything without substance.

This is on Tahoe, not sure about earlier versions.

Just to be clear, enterprise companies are using the enterprise option for security/auditing/enforcement reasons, not because OpenAI or Anthropic forbids them from buying a 200$/month plan for each engineer, right? Do they have any clause forbidding using those individual plans in a company?

I sometimes use SimplyNoise to have brown noise for sleeping or filter out distracting sounds in the office.
Also, iOS has background (white noise etc) sounds built-in: https://support.apple.com/en-us/109346 Android has something similar too?
We also installed triple-layered windows for sound insulation, but I believe it degraded the quality of the air, so sometimes have to open the windows for a few minutes before sleep to get fresh air.

> Can you please share some insights as to what gives it away.
The article uses too much contrast even if not as obvious as "it's not x, it is y". Also some too punchy or over confident stuff like "that era is over blah blah".
Amusingly, you can feed it to an AI to extract the patterns that gives away that it is AI written.

I had the misfortune of having to use Azure back in 2018 and was appalled at the lack of quality, slowness. I was in GitHub forums, helping other customers suffering from lack of basic functionality, incredible prices with abysmal performance. This article explains a lot honestly.
Google’s Cloud feels like the best engineered one, though lack of proper human support is worrying there compared to AWS.

With the recent supply chain attacks that exfiltrate your .env files, it becomes important to find and shield those .env files

React hooks always struck me as object-oriented programming reinvented through the back door of functions. We started with pure components, decided we needed state after all, and ended up with magic functions that stash and retrieve state from some hidden context — essentially re-deriving this with worse ergonomics and an implicit ordering contract. Some part of it was the functional language paradigms like immutability that were popular elsewhere at the time bolted on to JavaScript.
What I find refreshing about Gea is that it doesn't fight the language. Stores are classes. Computed values are getters. State mutation is just assignment. I've been waiting for a framework that embraces the actual paradigms of the language it's written in, rather than inventing a parallel universe of conventions. Excited to try this one.
That said, I'm genuinely curious where the edges are. Was React's complexity accidental due to its architecture or was it the price of solving genuinely hard problems (concurrent rendering, suspense boundaries, fine-grained error recovery) (which by the way most consumers of the library did not care that much about)?
Does Gea's simplicity hold up as apps get complex, or will we eventually hit patterns where the escape hatch is the complexity React already internalized?

I am also interested if this is the case. Anyone have any scientific evidence for this?
I am actively looking for opportunities to work remotely.
I have extensive experience with the following technologies: React, Django, JavaScript, Python, Clojure, C#, Devops. I also have an MSc degree from electronics engineering and have extensive scientific computing experience.
I have served as the lead engineer and CTO of a NY-based startup for 5 years and then set up my own consultancy firm.
