I've been a mostly happy 1Password customer with a Family plan for quite some time. This may cause me to jump ship.
My biggest issue with 1Password has been 1) how intrusive it can be in the browser, especially on mobile when it's too proactive to show its dropdown and just gets in the way of my experience. I know this is challenging because a mobile device is a small screen, but it is incredibly frustrating. 2) how bad the Safari extension. It regularly fails to load at all.
Aside from that, while you're absolutely correct - 1Password is still relatively inexpensive, let's look at the improvements thet mention:
1. Automatic saving of logins and payment details
Isn't this what 1Password has always done or am I misunderstanding?
2. Enhanced Watchtower alerts
I haven't seen any of these alerts ever help me.
3. Faster, more secure device setup
This I have noticed. It is very convenient
4. AI-powered item naming
This is weak sauce. I don't care for "AI" to help me name my logins/accounts/etc.
5. Expanded recovery options
I'm not sure what this is and how it's different than what they've always offered on a Family plan.
I was buying a train ticket on Eurostar for my mother. I filled her name as the passenger. Scrolled down and used the 1Password data I have to fill my address and billing information. I proceed and pay. Later, when checking the ticket, I see it's on my name. 1Password changed the passenger details, and since the screen is small, I did not notice.
No 100% refund from Eurostar, but lesson learned.
I'm not leaving 1Password though. It's too convenient for my family.
I’ve had it do stuff like that and it’s very annoying when it’s an issue - which it sometimes is.
That and a lack of easy way to report a login page that doesn’t work perfectly would be my top annoyances (behind a 33% increase in a subscription that was already annoying me each time it came around).
“The workflow I’m going to describe has one core principle: never let Claude write code until you’ve reviewed and approved a written plan.”
I’m not sure we need to be this black and white about things. Speaking from the perspective of leading a dev team, I regularly have Claude Code take a chance at code without reviewing a plan. For example, small issues that I’ve written clear details about, Claude can go to town on those. I’ve never been on a team that didn’t have too many of these types of issues to address.
And, a team should have othee guards in place that validates that code before it gets merged somewhere important.
I don’t have to review every single decision one of my teammates is going to make, even those less experienced teammates, but I do prepare teammates with the proper tools (specs, documentation, etc) so they can make a best effort first attempt. This is how I treat Claude Code in a lot of scenarios.
Part 1 is linked in this article and explains a bit: “Minions are Stripe’s homegrown coding agents. They’re fully unattended and built to one-shot tasks. Over a thousand pull requests merged each week at Stripe are completely minion-produced, and while they’re human-reviewed, they contain no human-written code.”
I could be wrong, but my educated guess is that, like many companies, they have many low hanging fruit tasks that would never make it into a sprint or even somewhat larger tasks that are straight forward to define and implement in isolation.
I came here to ask this question. I find the existing agentic coding integraton to be clunky and slow. I've had much better luck with my Xcode projects just using my agentic coding tool of choice in the CLI.
The short answer to your question is “yes”. I’ve been a part of projects that largely leveraged agentic coding tools and produced net posititve results. BUT, we didn’t skip code review and we didn’t lower the bar for what good code looks like.
In my personal experience (working as part of a team and not a solo dev), good documentation and well-documented/enforced practices can produce great results. That said, it’s not 100% perfect but neither are humans.
Maybe the US government can make a requirement that DJI divest and spin of a US controlled subsidiary. That seems to have worked great with ByteDance and TikTok.
It feels like the author is conflating Tailwind the open source project vs. Tailwind Labs the business, which Adam says has run into a bad situation with their revenue because Tailwind Labs’ paid projects aren’t getting as much traction as fewer and fewer users visit the official Tailwind docs, which is currently the primary source people find out about those commercial products.
Regardless of what happens to the company (my personal opinion is that they’ll come out of this strongee than before) Tailwind as OSS probably isn’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future.
