> Has everyone really become so stupid now?

I wouldn't mistake stupidity for ignorance. A lot of "tech-sensitive", yet non-technical people are using agents/vibe coding these days. Their level of understanding is very basic ("JSON is structured data", "I need to reformat this to fit my need"), but they wouldn't get that the best way of doing things does not necessitate burning tokens.


I believe many non-technical people are spinning up AI agents nowadays without having a basic understanding of what happens behind the scenes, and usually, with no interest in learning. They prompt, watch the agent work and see the magic, without questioning the structure even a little.

I don't think we should blame them, as they are non-technical, but either educate them or put guardrails at the system prompt level.


My European stack: - OVH for object storage, domain names and simple Wordpress websites - Scalingo/3DS Outscale for PaaS (looking for alternatives here!) - Mailjet used to be EU but they've been acquired by Mailgun - don't know if that's an issue. Brevo is okay as an email service provider but they could be way better.


I think Mailjet is now owned by Sinch and Sinch is swedish?


Correct. Mailgun acquired Mailjet, then Sinch acquired us. We follow the EU data standards of our parent company for our EU products, which include Mailjet and Mailgun EU.

Disclaimer: I am a Tech Lead on Mailgun


Mailersend is EU and fantastic


I got interested because i am looking to switch to european email service because of law requirements and i know MailerLite (their other product).

But after looking at their site: "MailerSend is a United States-registered company."

I understand they are based in EU but the main issue is that if they are registered in US then thanks to CLOUD Act afaik it doesn't really matter.


Might contact them about it, their mail servers are in the EU.


I am working on a document collection app called Superdocu (https://www.superdocu.com), currently adding automated validation features for specific document types.


Good to see Frenchies/Europeans innovate for more sovereignty


Agree. Civic nationalism is good as long as its not in the US


Very impurrtant work

Trying to make document collection a breeze for the last 5 years. Still not quite there, although we're making progress.


Neat. You might want to either filter words or blur NSFW pictures that were generated :P


Yeah, it's a bit of a free-for-all now


I wanted to spend less time looking for my next trip and decided to create myself a Chrome Extension that shows me cheap flights at random dates from the nearest airport.

Finally decided to submit it on both Chrome and Firefox [1] extension stores. The app is made with Vanilla JS and jQuery and is currently translated into English and French.

I used Skyscanner's API for the flights, Google's Geocoding API to get the location, Lufthansa's API to get the nearest airport IATA code and Unsplash for the background pictures.

I'm pretty sure there is much to improve, so looking for feedback!

Site is minimalist, which is something I like. I wish the search would accept synonyms for technologies/languages, like "js" or "node.js" would be accepted for respectively Javascript and Node.
