I'm back on the Arc browser, which is mostly great, but I've noticed it doesn't do paint holding (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/paint-holding).

Interesting how coding agent budgets seem to span so many orders of magnitude right now.
$20/engineer/month: Hobbyists, tinkerers
$200/engineer/month: Typical professional AI-accelerated devs and teams
$2000/engineer/month: Funded startups, AI-forward scaled tech orgs running parallel agents
$20,000/engineer/month: Iconoclasts feverishly building agent castles in the sky, risking divine retribution for their hubris

Zero people searching for Allen Pike are looking for info on Spike Jonze!

- And a query that has a very similar embedding to "allen pike" is the username "apike".
- And words have similar embeddings to their typos – making ”apike" similar to the term "spike".
So, Google considers “Spike Jonze" to be a related concept to "allen pike”. And that's why AI devs need good tracing and analysis tooling 🫠
