This is an amazing tool by the @uptool_ai team. I highly recommend people try it for metal procurement.
We built the Google Flights of Metal - a free tool that scans availability and pricing across a dozen online metal distributors in one click. We hope it saves you time and money. Let us know what you think: uptool.com/materials

Hearing about these sold out showings for You Can See Everything in the bay. I watched it in a nearly empty theater here in Detroit and have no one to talk about it with at work
Don’t call or text. Deploying the systems to scale this another couple orders of magnitude without a proportional increase in overhead

If you think about everything you think about nothing. Budget your cognitive load
Running parallel agents has made this difficult. You always think about the opportunity cost of not kicking off another agent on a new task, but rarely the opportunity cost of dividing your attention further across existing tasks

Online orders pouring in one after another... this is supply chain + software at its peak for anyone else... we're just getting started
We are upgrading our infra once again to handle all of the new requests coming in. Sorry for the brief website downtime. We are back!
We've ported our nesting/pricing engine onto new infra, alongside some other optimizations on parallel processing. You can now get prices ~ 5x as fast as before at noxmetals.co

The "whiteboard defense:" I should be able to pull you aside at any moment and ask you to explain any customer-facing system you've shipped. You should be able to clearly explain how it works and defend the decisions you made. This is my benchmark for responsible AI usage.
I don't expect line-level familiarity with the code. I don't care if you remember the exact function name or implementation detail. You may not even know it. I don't care.
But if I ask "why did you do X instead of Y?", "what happens if this actor behaves maliciously?", "what data structure did you use here and why?", or "where does this fail?" you should be able to answer confidently.
For PoCs, demos, experiments, whatever: I don't care. Generate 100% of it and understand none of it. Speed over quality every time in those specific scenarios.
But if you're shipping customer-facing work, you can't be shipping things you don't understand at a high level.
