@Maro_Elias @signulll We pay like 15k a year for some shit. Not sure why you think data would be at risk. Things can be tested to standards or you turn around and a security tester to tell you what’s wrong.

Wild, although I don't think the ability to quickly roll-out new SaaS products due to AI is going to depress SaaS businesses significantly (may impact perception and investor fervor, but not necessarily revenues from my POV).
The SaaS moat is largely distribution and trust. Yes, there's a cheaper option, but do you even know if that option exists? And if you do, do you trust it?.
Is saving $199 enough reason to risk your data (or other sensitive business artifacts) to this new app you've never heard of?
Real questions we aren't answering yet imo.

@trikcode @I_found_myself_ I don’t know what I’m doing but have made effectively the same cms system that we are paying like 15k a year to use?

@ASFleischman Never understand this. I routinely like 4-5x my CLE requirements. I think I had 70 hours this last cycle. Gotta get out more
Andrew! Never know what gives some inspiration to practice and a different angle to approach something.

@terrycrist3 @ASFleischman You can get credit by presenting :)
English

@ASFleischman I just wish the CLE’s actually mattered to my work. It’s not easy finding 15 hours on appellate issues, so I end up taking a lot of random things just to hit the target.

@julie_at_law @DietCoke_Esq Used to work for an ada lawyer who showed up in his motorchair and flipped a table out from behind his wheel. Was kind of glorious lol.
English

@DietCoke_Esq I feel similarly for any attorney whose practice involves looking for violations and relying on the same few clients to be plaintiffs. ADA ones especially piss me off because it’s never about actually making things more accessible.
English

Ok I’m going to say it. If you’re one of those “consumer/environmental protection” attorneys that sues everyone under the sun, and intentionally make litigation expensive for small businesses so you can get your fees from the settlement—that’s a really embarrassing way to use your law degree

@DietCoke_Esq @jtd941 @RobertKennedyJr Some :p? Beautiful place but damn the regs drove me nuts living there.
English

@jtd941 @RobertKennedyJr I’m subtweeting the entire state of California because I think some of their laws are seriously stupid

@amorriscode Learning what they are and how they are supposed to use is something I’m trying to learn now after working on multiple parts at once.

@garrytan Interesting. I've seen it like a half dozen times in the past week. Been really busy though; I'm nearly done making a case management system from the ground up between gstack, superpowers, and claude code + codex.

Only if you stretch the tool to its capabilities would it tell you to consider YC
Namish pruthi@Namishpruthi
Spent the weekend shipping for @GreatApeAI using GStack (@garrytan 's Claude Code skills) and halfway through, it just stopped and told me to apply to YC. Twice. Not gonna lie, felt good. Back to shipping.

@SplinteredEsq @conductor_build keeps them in separate worktrees and they land sequentially
English

Sometimes instead of talking to users you can just implement the things they ask for in the same night they tell you they want it
Coming tonight: Design mockups and HTML finals in /plan-design-review
Automatic parallelization with worktrees in /plan-eng-review

@ClintFiore Sir, i’m just trying to reach you about your extended car warranty.
English

@FilthyMcN @kirkjangel Yeah, I had to cut that shit off completely it like was destroying my ability to take calls. Even calls I wanted to take thing was blocking me from answering lol. 😂
English

@kirkjangel iPhones offer this feature now as spam avoidance. I tried it and found it was screening client calls like that and decided to turn the feature off.

@alex_barashkov Hey man, thank you so much! I absolutely did not know that

@SplinteredEsq You can connect to a Mac mini natively if your devices are on the same network. That’s why I use Tailscale (Free). Then just go to Finder -> Network -> select Mac mini and click Share Screen.
English

If you pay for a $200 Codex/Claude, a Mac mini might be one of the best add-ons you can buy. Having your own always-on, isolated macOS machine is not hype. It is genuinely useful for development.
Why it matters for me:
E2E testing and debugging
Running tests on a separate machine keeps my main machine free. A lot of AI-driven testing needs control of the app window, which can constantly steal focus and interrupt whatever you are doing. On a dedicated Mac mini, that problem goes away.
24/7 task execution
I can queue up a big batch of work before going to sleep and let it run all night. By morning, it is done. No extra usage fees, just electricity.
Work from anywhere
With Tailscale + tmux, I can keep sending tasks even when I'm not near my desk, and often just from mobile.
Built-in screen sharing
MacOS screen sharing is surprisingly good. At home or remotely, I connect to the Mac mini from my main machine and get a high-quality desktop stream with very low latency. I use my main Macbook as a polishing / planning station, when the long-running tasks and automations happen on Mac Mini.
