Introducing: Browser Use Skills 🛠️ [beta]
Browser Agents are slow, non-deterministic, and expensive. Skills fix that. 🤯
You describe the workflow.
We analyse the HTTP requests, reverse engineer the APIs, and turn them into tools calls your agents can use.
✅ 30s → 0.5s
✅ deterministic
✅ extremely cheap
Want to run this at scale with Browser Use? DM me.

Has there ever been a greater fall from grace than @1Password? Riddled with bugs - I need to unlock it four times to make it work once, and the browser extension just never activates. Can't get in touch with support to report any bugs - it's all "try the AI chatbot"...

@richchetwynd @MuxHQ I need to be getting a commission how often I recommend them ahah. Looks sweet!

Ended up switching from a working solution of using AWS media convert + cloudfront for video to mux.com. The switch was super easy and ended up with less moving parts.

One of the things I dig about doing a podcast is meeting cool people and learning about what they build. I've LONG been a fan of @raygunio - they've sponsored the podcast AND are offering 50% their Crash Reporting tool (I use it!) for the first month raygun.com/hanselminutes?… #ref

@Wise just randomly cancelled the @EasyMonthEnd bank account. No explanation, just “sorry, cancelled - oh and we are keeping the money”.
Insane.

@morganfrnchstgg @traskjd Unsure that security-as-insurance is the primary model I’d pick given human bias on low percentage very bad future outcomes though, see also climate change 🙃

Very true, and always appreciated a good rant from @nikz on this topic.
You should always be able to state how you’re providing 2-3x return on your salary.

Why are engineers so surprised to learn that they're meant to deliver business results bigger than their salary?

@morganfrnchstgg @traskjd Never going to be direct attribution otherwise the payments team would be the only one worth working on right? Ideally your return comes from a few places too - so perhaps you add speed relative to previous engineering efforts, you assist sales, etc etc.

@timClicks @traskjd Yeah, it’s also more complex and risky the larger the org but you also get the benefit of the org having more patience.

@adamburmister Substack subscriptions :) Pragmatic Engineer. And I also bought “Great Mental Models” on kindle but have yet to crack it open

@Shpigford I don’t think you have an element matching the “target” there. What happens if you add a div with an id of “dom_id(document)” in show.html.erb?
English

@Ryans_Rovers Yeah, it’s very frustrating. We can’t put it behind Cloudflare because Digital Ocean Apps doesn’t support it.
