It's really not. As a one-person IT department I'm now able to build things in hours or days that it previously would have taken my weeks or even months to build (and thus they didn't get done). Things people have wanted for years that I didn't ever have the time for, I can now say "yes" to.


Then I would say they judged the situation correctly when they decided to raise prices.

That said: competition will soon kick in.


Yeah totally. I’m just surprised they did this AND ended the 2x promo simultaneously.

I had my hopes up to switch to local but my first few passes didn’t pan out with that so far. But I’m optimistic it’ll land soon.

I think I need to lower my ambitions too. I got my hopes up since AI can do everything but how long it takes to do it right can really drag on

This isn't your problem; this is management's problem for cutting headcount, or not caring about the things that people wanted.

As it isn't your problem, paint it bright pink and move on.


Yeah the ops alone is a huge win. It’s such a win I didn’t even think to mention it ha.

Dangerous too of course. So many times I’ve had subtle unexpected side effects. But it’s all about pinning thins down well and that’s what we’re all still figuring out well
