Does Fastmail really get push? I have a vague recollection that the reason I’m using their app over native ios Mail is because ios Mail was notifying me about emails with a noticeable delay.

If you review every change as it goes, vibecoded results are often better than human-only and written much faster
If you’re reviewing every change then what does “vibe coding” even mean?
When available I prefer installing applications via brew as casks, since at least this way if I decide to uninstall it later brew will take care of deleting all of these associated directories.
I remember using an app called AppZapper several years ago which did this but for arbitrary applications. No idea if it’s still around/maintained.
Appcleaner does this. One of first installs on a fresh macos.
Few things:
1. I'm not going with Amazon, I live in France so I chose a french cloud provider. Laws are a bit different here.
2. I believe whatever could happen to my data, I'll see it coming and have time to move it all.
3. It's dirt cheap, and doesn't require me to manage my own storage.
Is s3 a generic term for cloud storage in France?

Most people in meetings don’t type very fast, and find it easier to talk than to write.
This means that prior to AI transcription/summary bots, there wasn’t much written documentation about the decisions and conclusions from meetings. Now hopefully that will change.
I wasn't so much saying that there should be plenty of documentation generated during a meeting as saying that there should be plenty of documentation prior to the meeting. That the meeting is based on.

Having had been on both sides of this coin, I agree a lot of managers mis-manage meetings.
But then there's those engineers who don't show up to meetings and then a month later come to you with a
"I don't know how we're deciding on some of these critical product features"
and I don't know how to tell them its because they skipped some meetings where they could've been part of that discussion.
Even if the final nod of agreement happens in real time the actual decision making process for critical product features should involve planning, thinking, research, etc. There should be a strong paper trail such that everyone knows what the decision is going to be prior to the "everyone gets together and declares this is how things are going to be" step.
If them missing some meetings means they're in the dark as to how those features were decided on then I can't see that as a defence of attending every meeting so much as a statement of BS meetings being so predominant in the company that all decisions are made through a BS process.

Yes, but they’ve definitely made a big contribution to AI / LLMs. I just don’t understand how they plan on monetizing upon things, apart from “better AI integration inside their own products”.
Are they planning to launch a ChatGPT competitor?
It seems like this acquisition is focused on technology, but what’s the product vision?
Their already existing chat app is what “ai” means to my normie friends.

Ai generated content is inherently a regression to the mean and harms both training and human utility. There is no benefit in publishing anything that an AI can generate, just ask the question yourself. Maybe publish all AI content with <AI generated content> tags, but other than that it is a public nuisance much more often than a public good.
If I ask the question myself then there's no step where a human expert has vetted the content and put their name on it. That curation and vouching is of value.
Now your mind might have immediately went "pffff as if they're doing that" and I agree but only to the extent that it largely wasn't happening prior to AI anyway. The vast majority of internet content was already low quality and rushed out by low paid writers who lacked expertise in what they were writing about. AI doesn't change that.
