that's genius.


I am growing comfortable with bouncing between the confused and the losers. In this model, anybody between the losers and sociopaths are the true suckers. I am no sociopath so I better make myself comfortable at the bottom of the barrel. More time for my own problems.

That's the definition of a Loser in the Gervais model - someone who realises the system is BS, does the bare minimum to survive in it to save energy for other things outside the system.

The part that confuses me though ia the Clueless being the ones who do good jobs. If you're paid to be there 8 hours anyway you might as well sharpen your skills by working as well as you can. There is no speed limit. Unless your job is developing algorithms for aircraft with incapaxitated pilots to safely landed at airports with total power failures.

this is cool – congrats on the launch.

generally when i give someone my calendar link, i'm pretty happy for them to just choose whatever time within those constraints. i like the future where everyone opts in ("i will meet as long as my preferences are considered") & there doesn't need to be any manual clicking/coordination whatsoever.

as a tidbit of feedback: are you explicitly targeting b2b? i would like to just sign up, but i'll book a demo if that's the only option :)


we are b2b focused unfortunately

but there are a bunch of b2c options :)

looks great & appreciate that there is an accessible pricing tier. congrats on the launch!


Thanks!


why does this read like it was written by a state-sponsored actor


The thought crossed my mind as well. Lots of typos, plus "old version compromised, use new version ASAP" could also be said to get people on a newly compromised version, right? Though it's probably just that the post author is stressed and rushed the post out. I do wonder if there's a way to verify the post was written by the real dev and that he still has control. Old known GPG sig?


Posted with the new version not even out yet?


IIRC, the author, Don Ho, is French and was born in Taiwan, and accordingly, perhaps his English is somewhat idiosyncratic?


super cool launch – congrats!


I like number of "great catches" as a measure of AI code review effectiveness


some of the games play well as single-player games, too! check out games with the single-player tag: https://friendzone.games/t/single-player/
