Ex-PagerDuty here. Without weighing in on the criticisms of pricing and innovation with the product, I will say that the value of PagerDuty is its reliability in notifying you when it receives a signal from a system. Rebuilding the product isn't just asking an LLM to spit out a web app to do scheduling, it's in the notification pipeline (SMS, email, push notifications, Slack), maintaining all that and mobile apps too.
Just like Uber itself, this is one of those "I could replace this in a weekend" things that doesn't actually pan out that way.
Cursor Remote Agents are important to our AI orchestration layer. It's possible that Claude can do this directly but Cursor Remote Agents made this laughably easy.
I just got a Docusign and it didn't work in Firefox, I had to use Chrome. That's a huge blow right there. (I sent negative feedback about this to Docusign.)
>There'll probably be a startup tomorrow that digests user input and boils out the noise to provide a robust enough signal to guide some monitoring agent, and it'll help some cases, and train us to be even worse at others.
By default on a Mac, "smart quotes" is enabled that turns "" into “”. I don't think that's a sign of an LLM. I believe Microsoft Word on all platforms does this too.
This is the course I used online to learn Objective-C and UIKit to make iOS applications, and now I am a Staff iOS Engineer. Nice to see him still doing this.
Referencing Marc Benioff making bold claims about AI isn't much evidence, he's pulling these numbers out of thin air. Despite claiming they won't hire software engineers in 2025, there are plenty of positions open at Salesforce for software engineers.
Nice to see PagerDuty mentioned here. I was on the mobile team at PagerDury that battled to get the entitlement to use Critical Notifications in the app. We were refused multiple times before we got the entitlement.
