If you believe in the trend of early adopters, I think this is an unstoppable trend (at least in tech). I don't see this trend abating because you'll have to compete with me (and others) in the war for finding great talent wrt remote-first companies.
Mighty has a 91% conversion rate from offer to hire over the last 12 offers. It is unquestionable to me the importance of being a distributed company has on being able to tip the scales to out compete almost any other offer.
Consider the reasons of salary : value of life of remote work for certain people:
- You just had a baby & want to be closer to the grandparents
- Partner gets into X medical school
- Your friends are in Y location
Most people will sacrifice a bit of $. Some won't have to.
1/ We were -7 days off but team is going to do a real Shipping Friday to allow Mighty to go self-serve in the next hour. I attempted my best to dissuade a Friday ship but builders gonna ship.
We can't let everyone in at once but we will now be able to easily give access any time
2/ We're buying 960 units ($700K) of compute capacity as we speak today to help scale up Mighty which should ship by early December. We have about 200 units available with another few hundred hopefully coming online around early November.
Hardware is hard!
3/ Please wish our infra team good luck next week and in the coming months—demand is 2 orders of magnitude greater than we have supply so appreciate everyone's patience as move towards a publi
One the issues with the new MacBook Pro M1 Max is that it doesn’t provide much of an improvement over single core performance y/y.
It’s hard to get better here and it’s most noticeable by users. A computer in the cloud will have an advantage in multi core in almost every way.
All this suggests is that it’s getting harder to achieve Moore’s Law with single core (long standing issue) and the only way to continue the trend is to pack more cores and re-build software to take advantage of that. That’s a good use-case for a cloud browser.
I am pointing this out because I’ve spent a while obsessing about why Apple has so much better single core performance and have noticed it has the largest impact on a user’s experience with most applications. So, it’s worrying that a year later on the Pro-version it’s the same.
I agree with @gruber's assessment here. Great analysis:
"From a usability perspective, every single thing about Safari 15’s tabs is a regression. Everything. It’s a tab design that can only please users who do not use tabs heavily"
2/ Songs for Tunes combines great music with beautiful AI generated cover art and song titles.
There are only 15 titles today but my hope is it grows to an ever expanding collection of songs creating a trading market that can help fund artists.
I made 6 of the songs!
3/ There are two types of Songs you can make:
- An Original (you must own the original Tune)
- A Remix of an Original Tune Title (anyone can do this) so that more people can create music and join our amazing community
There are only 5K originals but infinite possible remixes.
