  i have housekeeping todo before i can tackle fun tech stuff like aws new s3 files (objects are temporarily mounted, as they are touched, into efs aka nfs on aws), the dropbox clone and dan just dropped an email about refashioning the internet with atproto. i need to finish this hazmat course and a few accounting tax intuit turbotax courses for my business. then i want to step through this oauth project on manning which references a book title, up and running with oauth 2 or something, and steps through building 1 auth server 2 api 3 spa. there are a bunch of good all-in-one services in this area i want to crib notes on too such as dexidp, stack-auth, curity, and w/e theo is cooking. he likes better-auth iirc.

  Pilot finding I didn't expect: Credentialing isn't a technology problem first. It's a paper problem. Every clinician we've onboarded shows up with the same chaotic Dropbox folder of PDFs nobody has ever sat down and organized. Fix the paper. Then the workflow gets easy.

  If this app was a phone I would have thrown it across the room by now. Breakups when I use voice to text. It's broken integration with Dropbox so I can't post my memes. And this has been going on for a long time. When will this be fixed?

  Let me add my own perspective: this reminds me of the Dropbox story. Before Dropbox, there were already dozens of similar solutions, but they didn’t solve the users’ problem completely or in the way users actually wanted.

  @rseroter @Dropbox Dropbox still at 87GB before the fix is wild. Mono repo size creep is silent until someone's waiting an hour to clone on day one.

  I re-uploaded videos to Dropbox. Everybody has 24 hours to download before I take them down to remedy Dropbox deleting them.

  In April 2024, Dropbox disclosed that one compromised service account had given an attacker access to every active Dropbox Sign user's email, phone number, hashed password, API keys, OAuth tokens, and MFA data. Plus the names of everyone who had ever signed a document through the platform without even making an account. Syncthing has been around since 2013 and that breach is structurally impossible against it. 82,000 GitHub stars. MPL-2.0 license. Maintained by a Swedish non-profit foundation. Written in Go. The architecture is the whole product. Every device gets a cryptographic certificate. Traffic is TLS-encrypted end to end. Files move directly between machines you own through the Block Exchange Protocol. No central server gets compromised because no central server exists. Turn off the optional discovery and relay services and Syncthing has zero connection to anyone else's infrastructure. The reason cloud sync keeps producing breaches like the one above is structural. Centralized storage requires a single high-value target. The property that lets you log into Dropbox from a hotel computer is the same property that exposed every user when one service account fell. The convenience and the vulnerability are the same feature. Syncthing trades that property away. The cost is real. Both devices need to be online for sync to happen. There's no web UI you can hit from a borrowed laptop. No shareable link to text a friend. For most people that's a dealbreaker, which is why most people have never heard of Syncthing despite 13 years of open development. For files you actually care about, understand what the $120/year subscription is paying for. Storage at scale is close to free. The price covers an account, a server, a database, and a team that has to keep all three secure forever. The same surface area that made the 2024 breach possible. Dropbox can read your files. So can Google. So can Apple. Their architecture requires it. Syncthing literally cannot. Its architecture forbids it.

  @anvisha The breakdown to see what this really means, An AI just launched that eliminates all marketing jobs. Not some of them. All of them. SEO. Social media. Content writing. Ad creation. Brand design. Pitch decks. Community management. Reddit posts. Email campaigns. All of it. All these jobs are going away. A marketing team costs $200K to $500K a year. An agency costs $10K to $20K a month. A freelance designer charges $5K per project. This does all of it. Every single function. For almost nothing. Like 10% of the cost. Backed by General Catalyst. Jeffrey Katzenberg. Executives from Dropbox, Stripe, and Google. $7.5 million in funding. Thousands already using it. And it has an API. Meaning other AI agents feed it work automatically. AI writes the copy. AI designs the assets. AI posts it. AI optimizes it. No human ever touches it. It just gets better and better with time and eventually the curve will be even tough for humans to read. A full marketing department. End to end. Automated. A week ago AI replaced coders. Before that writers. Before that customer service. Now every marketing job. All at once. From one launch. Just one AI as of now. Every single week another AI drops and another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing down. It’s speeding up You are less relevant with each passing minute.

  Something interesting happened today. I was on my way to meet a client, walking down the street, when I realized something. The document I needed to send them was still sitting on my laptop at home. Not in Google Drive. Not in Dropbox. Just a file on my computer. Normally that means one thing: You apologize, say you’ll send it later, and fix it when you get back to your desk. But this time I tried something different. I pulled out my phone and texted Claude. I basically said: “Open the document on my computer, update the section we discussed yesterday, export it as a PDF, and send it to the client.” And then I kept walking. Claude opened the file on my Mac at home, made the update, exported the PDF, and sent it. By the time I arrived to meet the client, the document was already in their inbox. No remote desktop. No complicated setup. Just a message from my phone. This is a new feature called Dispatch inside Claude Cowork. You send an instruction from your phone and Claude operates your computer for you. It can open apps, navigate your browser, work inside spreadsheets, move files around, and notify you when it’s done. Your computer still needs to stay on. But you don’t need to be at it. Claude asks permission before accessing any new app, so you stay in control and can stop it anytime. But the real shift here is bigger than the feature itself. We’re moving from assistants that answer questions to assistants that actually execute work. And honestly, this feels like the OpenCLAW moment for everyone. Not for developers. Not for power users. For anyone. You just text what you want done, and your computer does it. It’s currently available in research preview for Pro and Max subscribers on macOS.
