Infiniti is on the list of highest price increases. The reality is that nobody is actually buying any of their newer models. They dropped the ball in 2010s and playing catch up in 2020s. Nobody is going to pay $100k for QX80 when you can get an GX550/Escalade/Yukon for similar money.

You can see a Cray-1 at CHM. It looks so cool that pictures don't do it justice.


Is there a name for organizing things based on bite-size? I have something similar system for myself but literally use a text file with dashes. I tried workflowy and other tools but I keep coming down to using text files because of how fast it helps me to offload memory on a scratchpad.


Task chunking, task breakdown. I could not find any app for that, and that is exactly why I created my own software, which I hope to release soon.


Shortest I've been at a job was 3 months. I knew around the end of the first month that I needed to get out for two simple reasons - I didn't match with the company culture and the company was a sinking ship. I ended up completely leaving my time at that company off my resume because I realized it's not worth going into details.

Ironically, the skills (devops / cloudsec) I picked up in those three months have helped me double my salary.


Wow 3 months! I stayed 2 days!

I was still a student and I immediately had to fix a bug they had about hitting the memory limits with an awful SQL query. I fixed the query and they said "no we will just keep patching sqlite to increase the memory limits forever instead". So I quit because I didn't want to be the most senior person when I was still a student and I didn't want to be ignored.


Apple has a nice list here where you can see what it connects to and why: https://support.apple.com/en-us/101555


Title is dramatic but the point is clear - the moats are definitely emptying.


Even getting in the program takes time. I signed up on Thursday, had to send a ton of documents, and for organizations, you need a DUNS number. Whole process kind of sucks currently.


The truth is that majority of people do not care about this. It's why AWS exists. It's why Fly.io exists.


Seems like there is an opportunity here for the next level of vibe coding - when you have actual paying customers.


Regarding Series A - since the YC deal has increased to $500k, there seems to be no pressure to quickly get a Series A when you have just enough to figure out if what you're building actually works and since the tools have gotten so good, you're not under pressure to spend it quickly either.
