Ps.: see http://www.bricklin.com/firstspreadsheetquestion.htm on whether VisiCalc was the first or not.
Coders don't all have those kind of security hygiene instincts either
That's rich. What public benefit mission? The benefit of extracting money from the public?
If you want to help SMB, stop with the interconnectivity hype of bringing outrageously expensive software together. Try making something that really helps instead of syphens more money and hurts the workforce. Seriously, what's Claude going to do for a landscaper using pen-and-paper anyway? That's the majority of your SMB. The grifting MSPs are your target for this bs.
My guess is that they are trying to increase the cost of switching as much as they possibly can before the VC subsidies run out and they have to 10x their prices.
Possibly, could also just mean that they've internalized the bitter lesson. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~eunsol/courses/data/bitter_lesson...
You might be assuming small businesses have less than ten people. That’s a category of small business called a “micro-business” or microenterprise, depending on funding model.
In EU where I'm from the micro/small/medium business sizes are tied to both employee count AND revenue. Micro is below 10 employees and below 2 million € revenue, Small is below 50 employees and below 10 million € revenue, Medium is below 250 employees and 50 million € revenue.
So if you had 100 million revenue you would be a large business even if you had less than ten people.
Just today there are 3 stories on front page about Claude--seems to me someones PR is working overtime
Never in my life would I have thought a business with more than 100 employees could be considered small. In the EU the cutoff is 50.
