Lionga commented on Our "enterprise" experience with Stripe after $1B+ processed (be careful)    · Posted by u/Boulderchaim
Lionga · 2 days ago
Stripe has become shitty for big and small players over the years. Small guys get screwed and just plain scammed, big players just push and pushed into higher fees. Have seen it in many projects as a freelancer.

You can maybe use them for a quick prototype because the APIs/SDK just work well, but for anything serious look for alternatives.

I have to admit I checked the author on this paper. No surprise it is from outside of the US. It's hard to imagine a US institution releasing a scientific study that directly contradicts the administration's viewpoints out of fear of reprisal via loss of funding or even shakedowns.

I just hope this doesn't elicit some unhinged Truth Social post about evil Frenchmen trying to poison our bodies.

It goes the other way too. It's hard to imagine a {EU,German,whatever} institution releasing a scientific study that directly contradicts the administration's viewpoints out of fear of reprisal via loss of funding or even shakedowns.

That S1 is gonna make for a fun read. It'll make Adam Neumann blush.

Dario Amodei gives of strong Adam Neumann vibes. He claimed "AI will replace 90% of developers within 6 months" about a year ago...

AI could be a boon for mankind. it can be a useful tool. We could employ it in a manner which provides more dignity for workers. That is, let them work less hours, have more leisure time etc. That necessitates something which will keep the powers of capital in check, and people don't seem to think that this is possible.

Corporations are just so large and powerful, that people feel hopeless. Byt we could still get together and enact legislation which will override them. Othing is impossible, it just takes some imagination and organisation.

Like Chomsky once said, if the peasants of Haiti could organise and overthrow their government and create a functioning democracy, then surely we can too, with far more advantages.

Why not go to Haiti if it so good there? No doubt US (or basically 90% of other gov.) are shit, but Haiti must be one of the worst.

This has convinced many non-programmers that they can program, but the results are consistently disastrous, because it still requires genuine expertise to spot the hallucinations.

I've been programming for 30+ years and now a people manager. Claude Code has enabled me to code again and I'm several times more productive than I ever was as an IC in the 2000s and 2010s. I suspect this person hasn't really tried the most recent generation, it is quite impressive and works very well if you do know what you are doing

It seems to work well if you DONT really know what you are doing. Because you can not spot the issues.

If you know what you are doing it works kind of mid. You see how anything more then a prototype will create lots of issues in the long run.

Dunning-Kruger effect in action.
