Love this feature of @AmpCode. It's the little things like this that make great product experiences If you use an existing OAI/Claude subscription elsewhere it will let you see how much it would cost to switch to continue the work through Amp plan (assuming by average in thread)

My biggest complaint about CONTROL Resonant is that Estevez didn't show up. So I think Remedy should make it up to me by giving Janina Gavankar a 24 episode per season TV show that follows her as an FBC agent investigating AWEs formatted like the X-Files

Live view of @Rogers to #canucks fans after making everyone pay more for their shit streaming, not even having a Canucks broadcast for the game

Am I missing something or are we stuck with Oilers play by play for the Canucks game? #canucks

I think holding a fire sale for foreign investors, including Americans, and selling off Canada’s critical infrastructure is a bad idea and inconsistent with shoring up our sovereignty. Just one man’s opinion!

being a great engineer also means not being an asshole to people that could have less experience than you in certain areas. it also doesn't excuse you from shit behaviour. as much as a lot of great engineers think it does.

I love how half of my bonus XP tokens get sucked up in menu loading and matchmaking in @EASPORTSNHL. Great system!

security / infosec SaaS behaviour if not being upfront and transparent on pricing needs to die. absolutely wastes small / medium business time.

Is there a way to do ephemeral environments with isolated add-ons with @mirendev? really want to use it with team for our review apps, but missing a few things it looks like even using a staging cluster would share resources, when we would like isolation, like heroku review apps.

I legit thought this was a skit, but it's not???
Thirty-four days before she reported to prison, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes gave Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim access to document her every move. That turned into a three-year project, and A24 will release the resulting documentary this October.
