Just found this project and checked it out. Had a bit of trouble getting started, but seemed interesting once I had it working — I could annotate entities and analyses. Doesn't seem like you can currently generate articles or edit them once created, though, and one of the submodules of semiont-workflows appears to be private, which is likely an error.
Jeff Bezos famously said “your margin is my opportunity,” I feel like Steve Jobs could’ve just as easily said “your slop is my opportunity.” (And he sort of did with “insanely great”)
Could you elaborate on what makes Clickup "trash software", is it something specific to Clickup or your opinion around this entire "class" of all-in-one workspace?
ClickUp is known to be extremely slow and buggy, in a way that technical people can infer is a reflection of their mission to literally do everything an organization needs.
Who ever built a piece of quality software by setting out to build multiple otherwise unrelated pieces of software with extremely tight coupling to satisfy enterprise bargain hunting?

Apparently Lotus Notes did something like that, but I wasn’t around then so I can’t speak to the veracity of that claim.
we evaluated them in 2023, because we wanted to move off JIRA, and their name came up, and we did the initial import, and I spent some time trying to understand what's where and how, and the whole experience was lame. it was aggressively confidently pushing its own features (always be upselling!) but the basics were just not there. It's like Microsoft.
We moved to Linear, which is 2 years younger than ClickUp, but it's solid in what it offers.
I want to know why this [0] needed to be co-authored by Claude. Especially because it seems like the kind of change you'd explicitly want to make without Claude's "help" (presuming that's how that got in there).
Asking Claude to commit and push triggers the Co-Authored-By thing typically, even if the change was made by hand. It could entirely be possible the author just asked it to generate a commit message for this change (although the style doesn't strike me as very Claude like).
that's a lovely post, and I missed it when it came out, so thanks for that! but based on the logic in TFA I think an admin would have to make the claim for it to count.
TFA has curator quotes, the users are largely the curators of HN, so it should work! I can't imagine the mods ever saying anything like that. Maybe someone like pg would.
I agree with the conclusion but not with the premise. The conclusion is, "I don't have to be an early adopter," but the premise seems to be "there is zero utility in getting in on anything early."
> Might I be 7% more effective if I'd suffered through the early years? Maybe. But so what? I could just as easily have wasted my time learning something which never took off.
I'm not sure that he doesn't like to, so much as that the position he ended up in as a result of the Oculus acquisition had no actual authority attached to it. He was functionally a glorifier adviser, to trot out at trade shows (and reading between the lines, this was a pretty frustrating position to end up in - he'd rather have had a real job, even if it was to build something he didn't fully agree with)
+1 — "just being lazy" is no excuse when you can just ask your LLM of choice for a free font recommendation similar to what you can't afford. If you absolutely can't live without using the paid font, of course you should pay for it!
I’m always surprised at how people seem to assign zero value to seamless switching of headphones between iPhones, MacBooks, Vision Pros etc. Only those who haven’t been spoiled by the luxury of not having to even think before just starting to play music from a laptop when music on your phone was already playing into your headphones could think this way…
My ~6 year old Jabra headphones connect to two devices simultaneously, and can easily switch between a total of five at the touch of a button. My Pixel Buds do the same (called 'multipoint' and 'audio switch').
Yeah, things were more awkward in the mid 2010s, but I'd expect everything from the current decade to be able to do it without issue.
Leans rather heavily on LLMs.
