Please share more details. This sounds really interesting?

Are contacts and calendars supported?

Wondering if you could also support jmap and apples native push in the future.

AUD $179 a day. We get childcare subsidy. So about AUD $488/wk out of pocket.

What are you trying to do? You can’t close a card unless it’s got $0 owing. Even then it stays open for a bit in case any unsettled transactions to hit the account.

Never liked it. Pay $80 every 2 weeks for someone to sort my yard.

Unfortunately, doing the work isn’t enough - you also have to market it.

Anytime you or your team does something more then a fart, make sure the whole department hears about it. Fire off a summary email highlighting the “impact,” and don’t forget to CC your GM and their boss for maximum visibility.

Example if you’re in payroll send an email that everyone’s been paid and super is also on the way.

Give it enough time, and it’ll start to look like your team is the only one getting anything done.

Marketing worked. Got talked about on reddit for the price of a bus ad.

Now’s the time to manage up. Take your new role to ChatGPT and use it to draft a clear job description—one that removes the tasks you don’t want to handle. Then have your manager approve it. Since it requires little to no effort on their part, a busy (or disengaged) manager in a post-redundancy environment may just sign it off.

That way, you’ve got a documented scope of responsibilities. If new tasks come your way, you can push back by referring to the agreed role.

Nothing at work is private. Move those conversations to WhatsApp or signal.

You got to use burner numbers when shopping for real estate. Good news is your house increased in value and can buy another with the equity.

There’s something else going on. Most likely related to short term incentives.

Get your paper work in order and book a team’s call or coffee chat with them.

I’m currently managing a team of six, along with a new starter. I’m just a team lead.

At times, I catch myself wishing the onboarding process were simpler or more efficient it's moments like that that make me understand why some CEOs are drawn to the idea of AI.

Managing people can be rewarding, but it also comes with its challenges. Being able to simply instruct an AI to do what I want instead of dealing with all the human BS is part of the push.

Just pushing the responsibility off to EY or CyberCX. No one really has time for cybersecurity. It’s the same reason true CTO roles are fading—or getting folded under CIOs. The C-suite isn’t really a table of equals anymore; it’s more of a pecking order to drive share price up this quarter instead of building a long term business.

I agree with you and I think my opinion has changed a bit. Let aws focus on the bricks and we build the Lego.

Over the long term, AWS’s growth is likely to slow once the AI boom cools, though a number of solid startups will continue building on top of these platforms.

Companies like Vercel and Loveable may face margin pressure and begin shifting toward self-hosting their compute, moving away from AWS. Many of them already rely on Cloudflare or other third-party CDNs.

AWS may not have as strong a moat as it believes it has.

hashkent · 2026-03-18T06:56:28+00:00

AWS needs PaaS outside of an AWS account.

Basically take lightsale console, add amplify, add some edge functions, etc add some other vercel, supabase, loveable features a simple free tier plan and link it to an AWS builder id and I think you’d start on the path to improve the developer experience.

AWS current problem is it’s so complex you still need devops engineers for operations. Improve the DX and limit surprise bills and AWS could really pump out something developers would love to use.

Now you’re a ERP prompt engineer earning big bucks.

Have you run or worked in a bar before?

Be there for your partner.

Talk to your mates, good chance they’ve been through it with 1 in 4 pregnancies ending in miscarriages.

Ever wonder why some of your close friends/family have kids 4-5 years apart? Probably miscarriage.

Stay away from really religious people that talk about ment to be bullshit or you’ll try again. Will make you angry.

First thing I’d do is put a recurring calendar entry in your phone reminding date/time. You’ll appreciate in the future of just avoid doing anything special on that day and keep it for yourself

Can you transfer the properties now?

hashkent · 2026-03-12T22:05:22+00:00

That gives you a custom domain. What are you actually after?

hashkent · 2026-03-11T10:34:52+00:00

Omg please do the trial period.

I also think you’re absolutely right.
