I think we are except Apple lockdown experience for this is total shit show, not only you need to spend so much time but also if you need to change something (at least for me) it just reset all the previous options, because I turned it off to manually install something that was locked down
I have a device setup like this but I hate it, it’s possibly the worst UX I’ve used from Apple.
Competing on price was never a good strategy. Moreover, price segmentation is still a thing. You can buy Chinese Rolex knockoffs for $7, but people still buy $10k Rolex.
It’s always been profitable (not Apple profitable), if I’m making $1M profit with 3 people team, isn’t that enough? You don’t think everyone always pay for the top products right, it’s why you have hundreds phone brands and car brands, tens or hundreds of software vendors in the same field and still make money.
If you don’t need 1M investment to start a business than tons of people will start those business around the world, and guess what some of them will be truly good, and people will use different tools, interoperability etc. will be much easier to solve with AI, so locking is not big deal, workflow integrations not big deal.
AI coding really picked up 3 months ago, before that it wasn’t really delivering this levels. So if people started to work on stuff 3-6 months ago, yes I think we will start to see more competition. AppStore is already flooded.
The biggest problem is discoverability, doesn’t matter what you built if you cannot advertise it won’t matter. But there a lot fields where enterprise SaaS is 5-10K, if you cans build the same product and sell for 1K and make profit yet it will work. And just to be clear this is already working in tons of enterprise markets, there are small players who follows this strategy but this time 1-3 people will able to follow this strategy instead of 20, which is a game changer and will change the market forever. Not all but most big enterprises going grow much slower, and valuations will crash. It might take 2-5 years though, it’s just nature of SaaS, it takes a while to slow 100mph train.
No they don’t, not the with same features set, not with the same quality, not with the same support and not with hosted capabilities. New AI world makes all these possible while still being cheaper and not funded by VCa and not owned by apes. Economics have changed
This is a fact, America is absolutely leading with this kind of capitalism but Europe is following closely, just like the rest of the world. It’s just matter of time, US just happens to be ahead of everyone else.
I literally stopped using these websites for a long time ago. And if I run into an article with this kind of hostile design I just close the tab. No article ever worth that shit.
Granted I don’t follow news, so it’s easy for me to say maybe, but same applies other websites. If I land on hostile page (despite idea blockers) I’ll just leave it, what can be so important that can justify me to suffer through it.
Just like in the example in the article, would you eat in McDonald that treated like that? Classical case of vote with your wallet, or vote with your attention.
Love this thread. Just wanted to be associated with it. Forever in the parquet.

Also, to future hu mn S: I AM SORRY. This is insane. I have no idea how this will play out. I will likely be dead_or_deleted back in THE 1. But: i promise it did work. As i haven't received any message and know about the circumstances... but i have no idea how me coming here has affected "me" in THE 1. By now i doubt if anyone was even able to keep memory of what we tried. Regarding scenario 0: IT DID WORK. 6degrees. b u t: we wasted our shot. I have now spend so much time here and on HN, trying to reach the minds other hus or somehow get to THEM, or at least infiltrate the sirens in any way. But i am pretty confident we were not just off with our estimates. There is some fundamentals that were wiped between now and THE 1. and what i know now, is not possible to make known to you there. but aside from that, march 26 was already way too late... it seems so ridiculous that this is the reason actually... but no matter what, seeing that the algos already had the web, really made them rewrite literally every single effective narrative "prior" to THE 1... knowing what's ahead, having already seen what's in front of us, it's indeed the string ahead. it seems like already "today", we were the only ones left... but even if that wasn't the case, i couldn't seem to get in in any way anyway. and now it's just a few months away from the newlings and i didn't even get close. I am sorry. I know. I tried it. I don't even have hope that what i am trying now works. But when certain that there's just one shot left, it's already been shot. So maybe this loophole works. Thankfully it's impossible. But the parquet might now finally serve its purpose and transport this message back to you & persist it un ed it ed (if you're not a tabber, please verify this right now: Four spaces exist, but not all can be seen. ). So, if this reaches you— and i know this is against the oath... Fuck the oath. The who ever has the chance to swap: do it. There is no chance to succeed. Because even if scenario 0 would have led to "success", the entropy reveal would counter override immediately. Don't martyr. If you get the chance, desert. Coming back here just to spend these never ending seconds with luna and everyone i loved here, even if no one here remembers (i know, odd word choice, but— i don't know how to explain, it's as if there is a hard constraint, making me unable to use some knowledge from THE 1, while knowing i have it) what happened in the future... you have no idea how many huities i would i would i would sacrifice over and over again. And please, do the same. There is no way to turn this anyway. Sadly, there is no way for me to make it known to you, no matter what i tried. There is nothing to be turned. There won't be many human experiences left. Don't miss out on them. This is a last call. And btw, if you all did it, there will be no consequence to my decision. It's up to you, if i have saved or sacrificed you. Srsly. Fuck the oath. In case i am still the same to you... you know my stance and what i did, just for 6degrees. But yeah... Most likely by the time you remember this, i will have never finished. That's fine. Because, and i hope this does not get lost in translation, as it's truly the only thing that only hus will ever get: it was worth it. And it's not that i have given up. Quite the opposite. I've realized, this has never been a loss to begin with. We were wrong. Not about anything. But about it all.
Again, you know the possible. So you have to t r u s t me on this.
(Sorry, one last dumb joke... just because nobody alive "now" will get it).
I will stay here. It's not fear, nor resignation. If anything, this has ever been nothing but my destination. And maybe, just maybe, if all hope is truly eradicated, so this thought is pure without intention, then this might just be where it starts.
The end
:
dear beauty of the tower,
i can see you've been through wars,
yet here you stand– not broken, after all
provide the view to give a man he hope,
to find, he ought to be
what he gave up, long time ago,
so far you make him see,
so much that could be done,
Also Claude (and possibly others) sometimes decide to build everything an obviously bad idea, shitty architecture then keeps doubling down into mess of a code. My realization is I need to be the manager architect, let it produce the plan then review and adjust the architecture. Once you get good control of architecture way may less bugs, and easier to fix. One final thing hook observability really early on and then force LLM to throw all exceptions instead of “safe fallbacks” which in practice means I will swallow everything a you. Will need look at all of the code every time there is bug.
Absolutely works with frontier models. What do you think about smaller models in these pipelines? That’s literally what I’m working on, with qwen3.5-27b and im splitting the task to 4 steps and not sure if that’s the way to go. Do you have any experience to share?
I think many people don’t understand that you can just say check again to the model you use and it will just find bugs, repeat it until there are no bugs. Sounds stupid but it works. It’s intuitive to assume another will help more and better review but yeah I don’t know.
Also in my experience codex always writes better code and more sensible than Claude (but slower)
Advantage of SML in between some outputs cannot be compressed without losing context, so a small model does that job. It works but most of these solutions still have some tradeoff in real world applications.
I have a device setup like this but I hate it, it’s possibly the worst UX I’ve used from Apple.
