Bullish on Andy Yen and Proton. He gets it.
The culture war, or rather the loss of identity some engineers feel as AI redefines our jobs is difficult; I sympathize. Also understand that he runs a business and might has limited patience when we now had two years to process, learn, change and grow.

There is just no good way to bring that news. The old times are not coming back. I don't envy anyone though who has a workforce who is not on board with the changing times. teapaw.org/steipete/status/211612…
Ah yes. Fridays. AWS have an outage with API Gateway in us-west-2
Wait a bit. Little comms from AWS. Take app/etc down.
Export API from us-west-2
Import into ap-southeast-2 (same lambda backends in west-2)
Switch Cloudfront over
Back in business.

Finally. No thanks to Apple, mind. Their story for doing things like this on an iPad is 💩
(She uses Claude way more than I do for work
(head of product) let’s see if I can get her moved to the amp Mac app….)
