Are you able to point out which video explains how to find your current bottleneck? I suspect its something I would find quite useful! Unfortunately most of the videos have quite "clickbaity" titles, which makes it hard to figure out what they are about.

Ha! So basically to get in to a site protected by it, you need to _fail_ the HATCHA.

I thought the HN crowd would get kick out of this rather unique aussie web design and hosting company.

Honestly, it seems like a really good business - It looks like they have a standard "design system" which means they are basically just filling in a bunch of templated stuff into the website they are building for you.

They charge $49 a month for hosting - but if they have their tech stack setup right, the actual hosting fees would be almost nothing. The monthly re-occurring revenue must be great!

I think for me it's about the ongoing nature of the subscription. Everything is a subscription model these days, and I'm quite wary of "zombie" subscriptions that take money every month, but I don't actually use them.

For me financial planning feels like a "once every 5 years" process with possible lightweight annual check ins to see how I'm tracking towards the plan and tweek some details. A monthly subscription doesn't map well to this model. This is why I suggested something like an "access pass" might be a better fit for somebody like me.

Yeah, I feel the same way about the $14 a month.

Perhaps a "one shot access pass" or something that lets you in for a few months while you do financial planning may be useful.

It might also be a good opportunity to check back in with people later (say in 12 months time) and get them to sign up again, if you can provide them with valuable insights and help them stick to their plan

I've mentored many developers at this stage in their career - it's a challenging leap to make, because your moving from a world where improving your technical skills moves you forward to a world where you need to improve your soft skills to progress.

Some general advice that may prove helpful:

- Read "The managers path" by Camille Fournier. It's an excellent and very readable guide, with great advice at any stage of your career. - Be aware of the difference between "People Management" and "Technical leadership" and know which direction you want to head in. Some companies merge the two roles to a greater or lesser extent. Others clearly define and seperate them. - Look for opportunities to mentor others, particularly grads or juniors. Mentoring is often the first step on a path to leadership or management. - Leadership means being responsible for the success of a team, not just your own work. Look for opportunities to step up, take ownership and be responsible for your whole teams success. - Find a mentor and meet with them at least once a fortnight for at least half an hour. Come to each meeting prepared with a list of things you would like to get their perspective on.

Lastly DO NOT lie on your resume. Lying would be a really great way to land up in a position where you don't have the support you need to succeed. It's fine to be up front and say "I've been static for a long time in my current job without opportunities for promotion. I'm keen to find a role where I can be mentored and grow into a manager and leader"

Their docs suggest you could allow the model to extract structured data by giving it the ability to call a function like `sql_query(query: string)`, which is presumably connected to your DB.

This seems wildly dangerous. I wonder how hard it would be for a user to convince the GPT to run a query like `DROP TABLE ...`

I think a good mental security model might be - if you wouldn't expose your function as an unsecured endpoint on the web, then you probably shouldn't expose it to a LLM

I tried with some facebook comments and articles posted to facebook in chinese and the results were pretty much incomprehensible as well. It was so bad, it makes me wonder - has google actually enabled this for all users?

Not sure why people are downvoting - they should be commenting if they disagree!

A developer account + some old test devices sounds like a great birthday or christmas present!
