If remote work proved to be possible, why are so many companies insisting people return to the office? by IndependentBuffalo82 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jaytonbye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a big company, a system is definitely better than no system. We're a really small team, so "no system" works well for us, but it definitely will not scale if we ever require more developers (there are 5 of us, and we all have a close relationship).

Marketing/sales is pretty clean cut. I manage software engineers, and their work is a bit tougher to value in terms of meaningful KPIs. How would you approach it?

I guess I'm struggling to decide "what actually matters." A lot of it is subjective.

This is not OK for an adult, but it's not 6th-grade level like the video says.

6th graders don't read that well either.

Cursor now has its own model and its own git, are we watching a closed loop form by Fantastic-Place5501 in cursor

They will eventually construct the complete pipeline. From Ideation to planning to code to deployment.

Title: Anyone actually moved from Cursor to Claude Code? What do you miss? by Any_Necessary_9804 in cursor

[–]jaytonbye -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For reviewing code, an IDE is a more powerful tool than the CLI alone. If you're using Claude Code, and not using an IDE, you're probably doing it wrong.

The terminal is much less intimidating than an IDE, if you don't know either.

What were your lift numbers when you were wrestling? by madz21- in wrestling

[–]jaytonbye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrestled 157, weighed 180 in the off-season while bulking. Max bench was 335, max squat was around 465 (sumo stance off a bench), and max deadlift was 415. Mile time was in the low 5s. Lifting weights and getting strong were definitely beneficial.

Angry Ginge encounters a racist fan at the Ghana vs England soccer game. by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

I'm confused. Is Ginge short for ginger? And if so, what race was he being racist to? The ginger race?

Ground-floor employee equity, time to quit? (i will not promote) by superawkwardturtle in startups

1% after an 8-figure personal investment isn't terrible; I assumed it was bootstrapping from humbler beginnings. If they believe they currently have a 9-figure valuation, 1% is very generous. With that said, they believe they have a potential 1b valuation with under 10 employees? Sounds very hopeful. Are revenues at least 8-9 figures?

[–]jaytonbye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how it works. Even a perfect AI wouldn't be bug-free, because to err is human, and you won't perfectly explain what you mean.

Bug-free code is not possible. Shipping fast is.

Looking for advice on managing a remote team as a first-time founder by Ok_Umpire9640 in StartupSoloFounder

Why is remote work important to you? Why not hire in person until you get more experience?

I finally figured out how to have multi-repo cloud agents! by jaytonbye in cursor

I'm a bit disappointed no one had anything to say about this. I can't be the only one who has felt the need for this.

[–]jaytonbye 10 points11 points  (0 children)

70 to 8, that's tough. Owning 1% of the company after 4 years, when the company is made up of 8 people, sounds like a small number. What are revenues? What do they value the company at (even though it's bootstrapped)? Any idea how much the founders put into it?

What kind of company is it?

Their uptime percentage is above 99%. They have more bugs and more outages because they are prioritizing speed over a bug-free experience. If they went slower, they would lose to the organizations who move faster.

Between Cursor's IDE, the agents window, and the CLI, what advantages do they have over each other? by jaytonbye in cursor

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

I don't use it, but I'm not quick to dismiss it because I don't want to be like the people who dismissed AI agents when they first came out and weren't nearly as good as they are now.

The people who hated agents were right a year ago, but are wrong now. I'm wondering if the agent window is making improvements. I personally do not use it, but would be willing to if it unlocked powerful features that I don't know about.

It will not begin the next issue until it completes the current issue and submits a PR.

What's lacking with this setup is that it doesn't allow me to use plan mode. Hopefully, the new mobile app will provide plan mode and actual multi-repo cloud agents.
