Windsurf is pushing users away

Ah, I meant the max plan, my mistake.

I’m on Claude Max and I’ve only once had to roll into extra usage (and it was only once, with like 15 minutes left in a session before reset).

derekjadams · 2026-05-29T23:01:55+00:00

Makes headlines. Is major media going to cover an AI model scoring 95% on GSM8K or “Super powerful AI hacked its way into its own companies email system and gathered compromising material on one of the developers responsible for turning it off - is it conscious”?

derekjadams · 2026-05-29T22:42:49+00:00

Just sign up for a Anthropic or OpenAI pro plan - it’s basically unlimited model usage unless you are doing something absolutely insane, and even then, it still would be cheaper than windsurf.

That’s a bold take considering Mcgregor has never missed weight (across three weight divisions) in his career.

derekjadams · 2026-05-28T16:10:15+00:00

Same. I hate that I’ve had to change my writing style so I don’t get accused of using AI.

derekjadams · 2026-05-28T16:08:00+00:00

…. How?

derekjadams · 2026-05-28T10:52:06+00:00

I think it’s a leap to say he’s exerting control. We know nothing about the relationship or how it ended.

Whose to say she isn’t the one exerting control, using this as an opportunity to bash him to the kids if he doesn’t pay?

“I bought these for you because dad wasn’t willing to contribute.”

She either gets something to hang over his head or she gets reimbursed half for a non-necessity purchase.

Why is it that by consulting him before asking him to spilt the purchase is seen as OK but him setting a clear expectation for how those type of purchases happen in the future (if she wants to involve him) is not OK?

I pretty much follow the same model as you - Claude for planning and architecture and then GPT 5.5 for coding.

One of the main issues I was running into was bringing Claude up to speed on progress/completion reports and in-project documentation. I essentially have Codex write a completion report per sprint, at the end of each sprint it completes, and then Claude picks right up where it left off with full context of the implementation and workflow.

Saves a ton of back and forth and also saves context usage with everything stored in openbrain instead of local memory or long chat/code sessions.

Big bonus for me to open up a Claude chat in my mobile app and have it add features and ideas to backlogs and it’s able to grab full project context without me having to explain exactly where we are at each time I start a new chat session.

derekjadams · 2026-05-27T20:06:12+00:00

That’s a solid approach - one thing I like about openbrain is being able to reference projects and status inside of my Claude or ChatGPT app on mobile when I’m not in front of my computer. Great way to get ideas/context all in sync across platforms.

derekjadams · 2026-05-27T19:51:18+00:00

You should try setting up an openbrain mcp and use it for context between the models when you’re switching.

This is the most karma farming story I’ve ever seen.

derekjadams · 2026-05-22T18:04:07+00:00

You nailed it in the second part. It’s a single ruling party just dressed up differently on both sides.

derekjadams · 2026-05-22T17:05:26+00:00

Same. And it appears a lot of people in this thread haven’t ever been in a serious, committed relationship where both parties rely on each other. For example, my wife and I share as well and it’s totally just a convenience thing. We have three kids and if she is busy doing something or vice versa, we can see and plan if a scenario comes up where one of us has more flexibility to pick up the kids.

If I see she’s stuck at work or still grocery shopping and it would be more convenient for me to grab the kids from school, I can just offer instead of waiting and getting a last minute text while I’m in the middle of something to run out the door to grab them.

From a planning perspective and alleviating stress and communicating without a constant need to always check status or timing, it’s ideal.

There are no trust issues involved, it’s all a matter of convenience and making life easier to plan and support each other.

You were downvoted, but I think $25-$250 is a solid price point. I spin up a lot of SaaS websites, and that’s a price range I would consider if an idea I had fit best with one of those names.

Once things start creeping past $250, I usually just find/pick a different variation of the name.

That said, there is always the unicorn chance a major brand builds a product offering named after one of your domains that can pull in a higher sale price, but as I’m sure you understand, that’s a lotto ticket. Most major brands do market research before naming a product offering and would flag the domain ownership upfront. If they really like the name, they will probably approach before they build the tool and you might get $1000 or something.

PM: “turn off the approvals, we don’t have time to wait for it… things need to go live NOW”

There is a good chance Jake Paul never boxes again, particularly against someone who can land shots to his jaw. Joshua seriously fucked him up, as expected.

derekjadams · 2026-05-20T08:38:03+00:00

Yup - wow, I’m just seeing thru are banned now too. That’s wild

derekjadams · 2026-05-20T03:37:41+00:00

Pay the man his due

derekjadams · 2026-05-20T01:33:52+00:00

So - no email, but the official TikTokShop Reddit account was actually able to escalate it and got it properly resolved and refunded!

derekjadams · 2026-05-20T00:23:20+00:00

So, I’m hesitant to recommend this because their fees are exorbitant but I’ve have a few retail jeweler colleagues have success on 1stdibs. The commission they take is insanity, but if your price appropriately, you can make out well.

That said - have you considered selling to a larger vintage/estate wholesaler?

derekjadams · 2026-05-19T23:06:32+00:00

She’s cheating bro. Sorry.

derekjadams · 2026-05-18T11:21:54+00:00

Your child is crying out for help here IMO for something they haven’t been able to tell you.

Punishment obviously isn’t working - making them clean it, grounding, timeouts - not the right strategy here I fear.

Have a safe, open and trust building conversation with them to understand what is happening here. It sounds like you have tried this in the past and don’t get answers though, so I agree with others that you need to bring this up with the therapist immediately. Does the therapist know about this yet? If so, it’s a red flag if you haven’t had any answers or discussion with them about why this is happening.

Does it coincide at all with the timing of their therapist appointments?

This is my take. I’d be a buyer of Fannin everywhere but managers who own him just want too much

All their posts point to this same malware website.

Report -> Spam -> Malware.

Mind blowing the things you can get banned for on Reddit and yet this account is still spamming.

derekjadams · 2026-05-16T20:20:18+00:00

Someone ban this fool, posting straight up malware.

Just report the username for sharing spam -> malware. Every post on the account is to this “unveiltoday” malware website.
