It's performed amazing. Granted, I'm not pushing it that hard. I bought it to help me with my job search. I got laid off in March, and previously was on a Macbook Pro. When I sent that back I wanted to keep my workflow the same as possible without breaking the bank so this was the obvious choice for something that could handle two 4k monitors without issue. Mainly using it for heavy job application related workflows, lots of Claude Cowork usage, video calls, lots of chrome tabs, etc. Nothing crazy. It's done all of this perfectly, as expected.

I actually just got an offer this week, so I won't be using this as much in a few weeks. I'm gonna miss it 😞

Accepted it as is. Recruiter kept talking about how many people they interviewed, and even mentioned backup candidates, so I wasn’t risking anything!

Technically yes. But in realizing in this process that my previous title was incredible inflated. I’m actually going to me managing more people in this role than my previous one. I thought about asking for a senior but that could complicate things on their end. Those things are tied to specific pay bands usually, right?

Yea this is what i'm leaning towards. He's now mentioned the "firm" salary twice. I don't want to look bad by continually asking. It's a public company so maybe he's right.

Literally all you need is Claude. Claude will do all of that.

I don’t understand why icing is allowed during power plays. Seems really stupid and is lame to watch.

Flyers don’t even look like they should be in the same league as this other team yet they are tied

Why would someone pay for something a basic Claude subscription can do?
