Love the shirt!

They make a great editor and ship at warpspeed, bet its a great place to work :)

Iranians rethink the price of regime change Destructive US and Israeli war and Islamic republic’s resilience have alarmed even those who supported foreign intervention

The US and Israel so clearly don't give a shit about Iranian lives and prosperity.

Well it only covers 30 days of the deficit and is a third of all reserves so not that reassuring...

Horse vet and physics teacher

Took me enough time to properly understand how preference shares worked for fundraising for my own company. Pretty rough on consumers...

Yeah I already emailed my MP about this

Just wrote to my MP opposing this, astonishing we are willingly being dragged into a blatantly illegal war.

Rice cooker millet porridge is GOATed

Did they even close the second half of the 40 billion they supposedly were getting from SoftBank last year?

Uh that's rough

Really depends on how novel or interesting the software you are trying to develop is. My company has found AI of limited use on the mathematically intensive software development required for physics simulations.

Front end + back end web dev definitely getting somewhat commoditised though.

Man it's so so good

Damn, congrats!

Observationally greater LLM usage seems to be consistently correlated with devs getting tangled in knots more frequently and shipping buggy and hard to maintain code.

Just seems to crop up again and again and seriously negatively impact useful work output 🤷‍♂️

Another problem is community fatigue in reception to new open source projects. Clearly vibe coded projects which wont be maintained are posted constantly in programming subreddits and it makes everyone more cynical about the value of anything new proposed.

When the Tether run happens and they can't pony up the cash it's going to be glorious.

Damn that's cool

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff.
Game on.

Great to see

Claude is great at writing typst :)

Great reporting from FT as usual

My sister did a creative writing degrees and works successfully in the games publishing industry.

Sounds like a highly distressed funding round

‘All brakes are off’: Russia’s attempt to rein in illicit market for leaked data backfires Russian state has tolerated parallel probiv market for its convenience but now Ukrainian spies are exploiting it Russia is scrambling to rein in the country’s sprawling illicit market for leaked personal data, a shadowy ecosystem long exploited by investigative journalists, police and criminal groups. For more than a decade, Russia’s so-called probiv market – a term derived from the verb “to pierce” or “to punch into a search bar” – has operated as a parallel information economy built on a network of corrupt officials, traffic police, bank employees and low-level security staff willing to sell access to restricted government or corporate databases.

He really really wants white dreads to be OK lol

Makes me so sad how many pieces of incredible research fail to be useful outside academia because of software quality. (In the simulation world specifically)

👏👏👏
