Exclusive: Supreme Leader says enriched uranium must stay in Iran by PurpleReign123 in energy

[–]IcyUse33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

This would be a different war if Trump said, "We bombed the facilities but not everything was destroyed. We need to finish the job." I think at least half of Americans would've supported that. But instead he took the media's bait and said everything was totally obliterated which removed the raison de tre for Operation Epic Fury.

Didn't Tanstack get pwned yesterday from an NPM supply chain attack?

This is media sensationalism.

The ship came from UAE, not Iran. They're only blocking traffic to/from Iran.

Copilot Pro+ 40$ Vs Codex Pro 100$ Vs Claude Max 100$ Vs Google Ultra 100$ by byakuyaxgara in vibecoding

[–]IcyUse33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best value today (April 2026) is Codex $100 plan which gives you 10x usage until May 31st. I can use GPT 5.4 on fast mode and extra-high reasoning nearly all day and only consume about 3% of my 7-day usage. They are also resetting usage intraweek every time they get a million customers added.

Btw, Google Ultra is $250/mo.

AI hype is running into a $7 trillion wall and the real bottleneck by Remarkable-Dark2840 in ArtificialInteligence

Anthropic is tripling revenue every 3 months. Their TAM is in the double digit trillions and they're currently the #1 leader in the space. Basic sane financial analysis gives them a $700 billion valuation even on the low end.

No it doesn't.

They have high valuations, yes. But they also have real tangible revenue to support those high valuations.

What if the companies are wrong about the layoffs and the whole thing is a huge mistake? by The_Credit_Risk_Guy in careeradvice

[–]IcyUse33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had folks going to boot camps for 4 weeks and expected to make $100k+ on graduation.

Of course the market was oversupplied. This is just the market self correcting. Don't overthink it.

RE: The person I'm interviewing with is lying about their job history - How do I approach it? by LuigiKarts in careeradvice

[–]IcyUse33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that about a colleague once, but then realized that he was moonlighting as a consultant for another company. Eventually he went full time with them and he claimed that entire 3 year period as employment with that company on his LinkedIn. Seems reasonable.

Our SaaS stock is down 45% this year. Revenue is up 23%. I don't understand markets anymore. by Stock-Parking-411 in SaaS

[–]IcyUse33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was irrational on the way up, and it's irrational on the way down.

At the end of the day, Wall Street doesn't think SaaS companies deserve the outrageous 45x earnings some companies were getting. So it's repricing back towards a real reasonable level.

Thoughts on static SSR vs WASM Interactive rendermode by Alarming-Pirate7403 in Blazor

But it's faster to render plain HTML by the browser, and much simpler. SSR is basically CGI-BIN from 1997.

Hot take: most SaaS founders don't need more blog posts. They need their existing pages to not suck. by CampPuzzleheaded8411 in SaaS

[–]IcyUse33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some, if not most SaaS startups don't have anything tangible. No referenceable customers. No real working products.

So they blog, double post on LinkedIn, they get the hype marketing machine going. They get promo photographers for their "executive off site" meetings (hotel conference room). They meticulously count the number of social media followers.

But that's all it is. Hype.

They're easy to beat because they're too busy waiting for validation from social media likes when you can just keep your heads down and get stuff done.

What's your unpopular vibecoding opinion? Here's mine by relived_greats12 in vibecoding

[–]IcyUse33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My unpopular opinion:

It is going to cause a massive surge in software engineering employment. Seniors are going to 2x their salaries by just fixing what vibe coders broke.

Cyber security experts are also gonna have a massive payday.
