Remote Agent is live.
This one鈥檚 been a long time coming 馃檪

Ask it about your payroll, your people, or your invoices, and it answers from your own data in Remote. One customer set up code-of-conduct reminders for 850 employees in a chat.

Portugal is bracing for a potentially terrifying storm.

Stay indoors, bolt down what you can, charge your electronics and get water, food for the next few days.

If there's an outage of any kind be wary of anyone making themselves pass for any kind of authorities or local services representatives - scammers have previously taken advantage of these situations.

Stay safe.

Portugal vai enfrentar uma tempestade potencialmente terrivel.

Fiquem em casa. Protejam o que for poss铆vel, carreguem carregadores e telem贸veis. Preparem 谩gua e comida para os pr贸ximos dias.

Se houver algum tipo de falha de servi莽os, tenham cuidado com potenciais impostores que se tentem fazer passar por representantes de autoridades para tirar proveito da situa莽茫o e dos mais fragilizados.

When we launched @Remote, all we had was a landing page. We posted it on a forum of builders called Hacker News, and people gave us a lot of grief.

That domain was precious to a huge community of remote workers around the world. The comments were like: how do we know you鈥檙e not going to mess it up?

I remember thinking this is gold. All these people had tremendous feedback to give.

So we reached out to a lot of them. What are your pains? What ails you? Same for companies. Before we could employ anyone in a single country, we already had a big list of customers saying: the moment you open, I鈥檓 in.

We hit product-market fit before we could even sell.

My first job as a consultant was in 2012. I made a presentation on the performance of a client鈥檚 application, and I forgot to add the units to the scale.

My manager hadn鈥檛 paid attention to the briefing I gave him, but he decided to present it himself to get the credit. Since he hadn鈥檛 heard a word of what I鈥檇 told him, he started talking about the results as something amazing.

They were awful. I had to cut him off and explain it to everyone in the room. All the top people on the client鈥檚 side were there.

If you鈥檙e going to take credit for someone鈥檚 work - including AI鈥檚 - at least understand the material.
