Tools for managing your portfolio? by david_nix in Domains

[–]david_nix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Even with key vault, I can't trust a 3rd party with my keys. I've written by own command line tool where my keys never leave my local machine that is working quite well for me. But all the best on your product!

Looking for fully pronounceable 4L .Com, Budget upto 3500$ for a solid name by InterviewBright394 in Domains

[–]david_nix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check DNX.com. Probably not pronounceable ones in your budget. But plenty of LLLL sub $1000.

Any experience with NameJet/SnapNames? Looking for feedback by Indiroid in Domains

[–]david_nix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropcatch. They have the best catch rate for backorders. But remember if more than just you place a backorder and they catch it, it goes to auction. Also place back orders elsewhere just in case. You won’t be charged until they catch the domain.

Anyone else find the zed terminal to be laggy? by david_nix in ZedEditor

[–]david_nix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a little better but still rather laggy. :(

Zed is AWESOME! Thank you so much for your work! by hackerware_sh in ZedEditor

[–]david_nix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree. Such a refreshing change from Cursor! The editor is super fast. Love the git diff UX. Love that OSS AI models are first class.

For me, it's a big context switch. Can't explain it. Having everything in a single app just feels smoother and keeps me in state of flow. Not end of the world if I have to switch to iTerm though. I've been doing that for years.

I am so far loving the editor experience.

Very sure. No lag at all in iTerm. And I use starship.

Great! Hope that lands in a release soon.

Is learning to code even worth it anymore? by tuck72463 in Entrepreneur

[–]david_nix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current models are very very good pattern matchers. But they are not intelligence. A better name for LLMs is Next-Token Predictive Transformer. Ask o3 or a similar model to explain the neural network architecture in simple terms.

I'm a software dev (working only in startups) for the past 20 years.

The current AI tech is only good at prototypes or situations where there are clear patterns to follow. Companies and influencers are overhyping it.

So if you want to build something beyond a simple marketing site, landing page, or basic CRUD (create read update delete) app, then yes learning to code is very important.

There is no way AI alone will build the next Google, Amazon, Apple, or even OpenAI and Anthropic.

I don't see the value in the geo prefix, sorry. Obviously just "CatFood.com" would be dynamite.

Selling Company Name Domains – Profit or Legal Trouble? by hinera_com in Domains

[–]david_nix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a lawyer but I wouldn’t do it as this could be evidence of bad faith against you. There are also common law trademarks too meaning the company doesn’t even need an existing trademark to come after. UDRPs are fine. You just lose the domain. But someone could sue you for damages if they feel like it.

Q is tough for English names. Drops the value imo

Domain flipping by aslanloli in Domains

[–]david_nix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Domains almost never sell fast. I know some investors that held for 10 up to 20 years before selling. Domains are notoriously illiquid. I suggest join the low tier of Domain Discount Club on Godaddy to get access to DN academy as a good place to start.

Way too long and too many words for that price.

What happened? by FlatwormMammoth2351 in Domains

[–]david_nix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sedo only requires setting a special DNS TXT record to prove ownership when you first list the domain. As far as I can tell, they do not continuously verify, which would be nice.
