OAI or Anthropic or … which one are people paying for and enjoying the most.

Non code usecases for me.

Also, much easier to support promos with this framework in for-profit companies. Because revenue is a good metric for did you build something really useful from the POV of a customer.
1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate?

2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations?

3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision.

4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work?

5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?
a question for the people who write code for money:

if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?

bsky is odd. more content on x. feels like the same platform really. for a usual 10x read to 1x write ratio, content filtering rules seem as bad on both platforms, it was better for the first couple of weeks, but seems around the same now.

wow, I didn't expect the code runs while typing. It's even better than local ide/vscode
