Andy Yen's values are incompatible with Proton's mission. He advocates for poor security practices, supports fascists, and he verbally abuses his subordinates. As such, I can no longer in good conscience continue to financially support a company with such terrible leadership.

Unfortunately for me, my subscription just renewed last month on a multi year plan, but it does give me time to browse for and experiment with alternatives.

If you're able, I encourage you to do the same and cite Andy Yen as the driving factor for your decision. We can't let these tech bro fascists destroy what little semblance of privacy we have left.

The example I cited was a frontier model set up with specific rules etc.

That's exactly why I realized how shit LLMs are. This was Cursor set up with its VS Code fork and designed specifically for HTML and CSS. It still goes crazy on the amount of div classes it makes compared to what a human would do. The website it coded is inefficient compared to what a human would do.

An LLM is a tool but it's no hammer - its a lump of iron pretending to be a hammer. And you'll get just as messy results.
