"I'm always impressed by Stripe Atlas (and similarly: Stripe Press). In terms of being: probably short-run unprofitable deeply prosocial mostly purchasing mindshare and creating long-term company value in other ways.

"back to using Rust again after 1.5y and having a really really great time using it with Claude Code. personally beats Bun for scripting too Notes on why: - context: my main task rn is to write various complex scripts which munge data from websites & GCS usually writing them back to GCS - at reasonably large scale: Im def trying to parallelize & unbottleneck a lot - I used Python & Bun each for a bit but maybe prefer Rust - Theres a reasonable amount of vibe coding. I know the precise steps quite well but Im often asking it to eg: list X kind of file from GCS parallelize Y fetch Z in ways"
