Getting on better with recent versions of Copilot and Claude Code. Also v0 for small simple apps.

Tried to build an app mobile using Bolt New. Didn't work beyond a prototype with the back end mocked. Failed to code the twitter account auth flow.

Ealier I tried Gemini 2.5 and GPT 4.1 in GH Copilot Agent mode. Claude 3.7 still seems the best experience.

Every now and then I try one of the other models. And it seems to perform poorly straight out the gate.

If you’re invested in CoreWeave, that’s a leading indicator that you’re not one of its co-founders.

Even giving em a first name and referring to them with out the AI context has always felt weird and off to me.

not looked at Curcors latest pricing models but are they also subsidising?

because? please elaborate so I can understand further.

The (VC) over investing, hence over hiring, in tech during just this period makes much more sense through the US interest rate lens.

Hu, I didn't realise that US interest rates drpped to zero at the start of 2020 (covid) . Compared to the UK since 2008 (financial crisis). 🤔

exactly. and end of ZIRP. that drop-off coincides with mass layoffs. AI tools probably has some impact even if it's causing wait and see. but I also don't agree with the media narrative.

The latest VS Code GH Copilot edits UX is awesome!! I can see the line by line diff. It's crystal clear exactly what changed. I know where I stand.

this is just going too far.

access blocked by region is infuriating. video content, AI models, services... at least with some, VPN to the rescue. but it's just unnecessary friction.

no, the marketing team own the budget, have tech folks etc. marketing own their entire stack and not have to time share with other projects.

you mean for rev ops. again the tech folks dealing with this stuff should live in the sales org.

But this one isn't affiliated to a vendor afaik, though Scott now works for Hubspot he started way before as you prob already figured out.

The MarTech movement came along with the idea of a the marketing engineer. i.e. all the resources needed to handle marketing lives within the marketing dept.

There's good intent behind EU AI regulation. But the knock-on effect is a joke. Official availability of everything AI from big tech in Europe is delayed. Often the UK gets lumped in with the EU for good measure. Tech savvy consumers who want it will use a VPN.

A rare piece of good news for the UK economy.

the OSS AI model and Project DIGITS are about as exciting as it gets and not that exciting.

and now we can start debating the exact position of that circle :D

I'd say it's the zirp peak + new AI tools.

You'll have to draw us a picture mate ;)

Or was it just the holisay season?!

Few inventors of foundational infrastructure profit from it.

looks like a variation of the SPB397 - I googled to figure that ;). I'm not a Seiko expert.

tell me about that watch. looks very nice. No the style of Presage I see in the UK market. Must be one of the many JDM only models?

I belive Perplexity lies less - i believe. I also often ask AI to double check their work. And ask follow up questions.
