Half a mile


It's definitely a mile from the closest pier as the crow flies, a mile and a quarter from land.

Depending on the current, actual swim distance will be closer to 1.4-2 miles since it'll drag you out of a straight line.


They have a hard time staffing the IT roles usually. Throw an app in, you can just do a 90ish day ‘summer’ deployment at some stations.


Typically it’s two per bedroom plus one. The max occupancy is set on the lease.


Depends on where and local laws. In San Francisco you can swap roommates out one for one and they landlord can not reasonably stop you. They can request an application if they want but they can’t reject them unless they have a very good reason. Most landlords don’t bother to waste their time.


This was the first prediction of The Internet. It’s such a great short story too. It’s pretty salient even today.


Cursor with Gemini 2.5 pro has been really great.


Big fan of Gemini 2.5 + Cursor but its far from a panacea.

After using Cursor heavily the past few weeks I agree with the authors points. The ability to work outside of Cursor/AI is paramount within small software teams because you will periodically run into things it can't do - or worse it will lead you in a direction that wastes a lot of developer time.

Cursor will get better at this over time, and the underlying model, but the executive vision of this is absolutely broken and at this point I can only laugh at the problems this generation of startups will inevitably go through when they realize their teams no longer have the expertise to solve things in more traditional manners.


Cursor might not have core extensions soon. The current versions are full of CVEs and Microsoft tries to block them from updating.


Roo Code with Gemini 2.5 Pro has been really great and FREE. I'm super curious to see how this landscape changes. I'm still surprised Windsurf managed to be acquired for $3B too. Give it a few years and there won't be a point in paying for these editors. I don't think there is currently.


I think there’s ways to get out there at night. I know people host ‘clandestinos’ aka parties out there.


Yeah the guards go home for the evening and then you can probably walk in after dark. You'd have to walk a really long distance in some of them though, because the vehicle gates are usually a very long walk from the scenery, and that's at high altitude.


It’s a nice idea. I know someone who released something super similar called TreeTop. There’s also something I’ve been getting ads for called NomadTable. There’s an urge for connection out there.


It’s free if you get a job on a base there!


This is really cool. I also had similar frustrations with excel on big group trips and made an app called https://avosquado.app that is similar but also different.

I like the live save of input. I had some UI issues on mobile web but am curious to check it out more on my desktop! What did you use as a backend?
