Great as an employee approach. Not as good as a founder approach.

- ulfw 3y agoNot every founder is a sole engineer who codes on their own.
- latexr 3y agoYou don’t need to chase the shiny to be a successful founder of a successful company. https://boringtechnology.club https://boringtechnology.club
- marginalia_nu 3y agoYeah. I subscribe to the theory of conservation-of-cool. You get to either build something cool with something boring, or something boring with something cool.
- thisisbrians 3y agoI love boring tech! Building boring tech with AI tooling is what I'm after with all this.
- gizmo686 3y agoFounder in what? Figure out what your core competency is and keep up to date on that. For everything else, stick with the tried and true.
- swatcoder 3y agoAre you founding something in "AI-assisted programming"? Because if you're not, it sounds like you're distracting yourself with shiny things instead of focusing on your industry, on your investors, on your leads and clients, on your team, etc. While common, that sounds like a terrible founder approach. AI-assisted programming may be something that your engineers bring into your company because they find it improves their work. But like any other tool one's staff may prefer, your role as a leader doesn't involve "keeping up on the advances". At best, it involves sourcing trusted perspectives when you face a decision point (authorizing a request, perhaps), making the choice, and then moving on to other leadership tasks.
