You barely see in person and sometimes, when you are international in different time zones, you are barely on video meetings + some people working at home can lack socialising.

How do you fix this?

Last week I saw the Neo Gama model on Product Hunt humanoid for house chores.

Today, it is Protoclone and there are even more.

One model is pricy now, but a one-time investment may be cheaper long-term than ongoing salaries from the point of view of a company.

After months of development, our product is finally ready to launch.

We ve been building a waitlist, and next week, most of those subscribers will get access. But here s where I m stuck:

1 Should we open the platform to the general public after that?
2 Or should we keep access waitlist-only to maintain quality and collect better feedback?

Just a thought on Cursor and the fact that Anthropic rate limiting basically doesn't let me do anything right now. I've been developing with Cursor and Claude-3.5-Sonnet (recently 3.7-thinking) for last few months now. I've gotten to a point where I realized 1 hour of no-Cursor coding can be done in 10 minutes or less using Cursor agent. It's absolutely amazing, let me just say that.

But because of the issues with Anthropic's endpoint, I was forced to try out gpt-4o, and other models. But nothing beats Claude-3.5(7)-Sonnet. The flow of work and bug-free features are unbeatable. I also started exploring something else -> Void IDE. It's a Y Combinator backed open-source tool just like Cursor. I also learned that Qwen-2.5-coder would be a good open source model to code, on par with Anthropic's model when it comes to coding. Combining these two things, I won't need Cursor anymore. However, I didn't go that route because Void still has some catching up to do, but they'll get there.
