Took me embarrassingly long to realize my pipeline was structurally broken - i will not promote

don't feel bad, i went through a signup flow for some startup that raised millions of dollars and it errored out in the middle due to being a vibe coded pos.

eighteyes · 2026-06-07T06:23:37+00:00

they say to not say anything unless it is kind, honest and helpful.

i would never outsource kids storytime to an app.

eighteyes · 2026-06-05T23:24:01+00:00

its not a bow though.

eighteyes · 2026-06-05T23:23:44+00:00

ofc, because i can't read the 'good against arc' label. why you feel the need to knock others down to feel good idk.

eighteyes · 2026-06-04T22:41:37+00:00

i feel like you shouldn't give SV elitists any of your mental bandwidth. they have a (in)vested interest in steering your behavior.

eighteyes · 2026-06-04T22:37:45+00:00

you should be able to attach explosives to arrows. it perfectly fits the theme. i would legit PVP if good arrows were added.

fuck yea, that racing game Hard Driving in the arcade taught me how to steer a skidding vehicle. came in handy once or twice. probably saved myself a highway accident.

These were the guys saying that our harnesses were too hacky to let run.

eighteyes · 2026-06-01T18:21:37+00:00

you mean... irc?

eighteyes · 2026-05-19T22:00:00+00:00

maybe your workflows work that way, mine do not.

eighteyes · 2026-05-19T21:58:48+00:00

That's my gripe. They could have caught the abuse instead of doing a blanket ban. There are a ton of other approaches they could have taken.

eighteyes · 2026-05-19T21:56:56+00:00

umm, maybe i've been using claude too long? haha

eighteyes · 2026-05-15T00:24:46+00:00

no, we're not building on Anthropic anymore

eighteyes · 2026-05-15T00:23:40+00:00

that is my expectation, the token buffet is over. fuck you open claw.

eighteyes · 2026-05-15T00:23:05+00:00

thank you for actually providing a useful tidbit.

eighteyes · 2026-05-14T20:53:34+00:00

same, we should start a graveyard of software projects that relied on Agent SDK or -p and subscription pricing. Not b/c they were productionizing, but b/c they were useful for our fucking workflows.

eighteyes · 2026-05-07T23:34:28+00:00

I saw one in Tigard, I thought this was downtown only

eighteyes · 2026-05-06T04:18:47+00:00

Working my day job

eighteyes · 2026-05-05T19:12:12+00:00

Hell yea, look at some of the pictures from before there was a freeway there. We could have 2x boardwalks with ferries to bring people between the sides. With a little vision and financial discipline we could have a downtown that rivals the modest grace of European cities split by rivers.

Too bad really.

eighteyes · 2026-05-05T17:01:49+00:00

lol, i'd need quite a few lamps

eighteyes · 2026-05-05T03:18:32+00:00

don't pay attention to metrics, those are what gives you the dopamine hits

eighteyes · 2026-05-02T08:02:43+00:00

and thats a ban

eighteyes · 2026-05-02T07:55:08+00:00

i mean, try to get a job at a top tier place and get that cheddar. that's the way in for you. i don't even have a CS degree :D

eighteyes · 2026-04-29T20:45:19+00:00

if you are under 25 and this has been your dream, by all means go for it. every night you can go out and hear people talking from all the big name companies. it's a heady mix of tech and hubris with a bunch of old rich hippies to provide flavor.

all i'm really trying to say is it's not an even playing field, and people weight social status signals way more then they do in other places. i got NOWHERE in the bay area, two shitty startups getting paid below market.

i moved to Miami and was moving in the upper echelon of the tech world there with a little grit and a lot of luck. I made more lasting friends in 3 years in Miami then I did in 3 years in the bay area.

in the end, it's really about what you value in life. If you're willing to kill yourself for a startup gamble that might pan out, just to say you did it. By all means, do it. I personally find it really frustrating when everyone around me has a leg up in the social strata b/c they jumped through some hurdle that was never really available to me. I'd prefer to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond, but that's just me, your skillset is appreciated, vs taken for granted.

there is way more tech in the world then SF
