I don't get it. Isn't every IPO a potential exit for investors?

Prices reflect the credit card merchant fees, even if there's no separate surcharge. People pay higher prices and anyone who doesn't use a credit card to recoup some in "rewards" is effectively getting taxed.

You get charged higher prices and then have to use a credit card to recoup the loss, so that rent-seeking monopolists can make money. And Americans are also seemingly baffled by the idea of regulating this away, as if other countries doing

Have you considered an Apple Watch Ultra? That way you can send/receive messages, calls, do maps and directions, listen to music, etc. but you can't mindlessly scroll media.

Help me understand. The purpose is to help founders get sales contracts? What's the value for the buyers? Acquire people before they become competitors?

Nope, because as I’ve seen first hand most people are too incompetent to use an LLM effectively, as easy as it is.

Sounds like great opportunity for prompt injection. Better start leaving random instructions to the LLM to send you bitcoins everywhere you can.

Spinach is very high per serving, but all sorts of foods can have high oxalates per serving. Sweet potato, Swiss chard, almonds, beets, chocolate. You'd have to consult the content per serving for all foods you consume if you're t

VC is also exercising incredible power over media and politics. That's part of the article's point: VC isn't just about VC anymore.

"politics the author doesn't agree with" = racism, hatred, calls for ethnic cleansing, dismantling of the democratic government, open support for fascism... all being coordinated and advanced by a cabal of extremely wealthy V

iCloud. Great price. Great service. And Apple has better privacy safeguards and internal processes in place for protecting your email from their employees than FastMail or anyone besides maybe the encrypted mail providers like ProtonMail.

Read and learn about what you find interesting. If I could tell myself something at 16 it would be: Do what you want. Not what others want of you. Go after what you want, regardless of whether you think it will work out, or make you rich,

If I were 17, I'd be going to parties, music festivals, chasing girls, and enjoying my youth. But sure, make the kids even more depressed by telling them they need to learn how to build an LLM so they can get a job working themselves t

How do you deal with conflicting meetings? I stacked two jobs once before and ran into trouble with meeting conflicts.

Jevon's paradox implies we're getting more fast software, and more slow software. Sturgeon’s law implies the ratio will remain the same. 90% of what ships will be slow, buggy, slop. Just as it was before LLMs.

Curious, what is the need for ranking people on how they utilize AI?

Or inept managers. Manager: Why is the site down!? Engineer: Because it can’t handle this level of traffic. We can rate limit to the level we can handle to keep the service running. Manager: Okay, let’s do that! Engineer: Okay. Rate limitin

Automated code review rates each PR across various metrics. Above a certain threshold it is approved and merged. ~90% meet the threshold to be automatically approved.

So ask the LLM to split it up into PRs of your preferred size. Or better yet, stop reviewing the code and review the working software instead. LLMs give far more substantive code reviews than humans and have for a while now.

A single engineer who scopes, designs, implements, and delivers on their own. So all internal-facing roles (product, design) collapse back into "software engineer" (where we started). All external-facing roles (gtm, marketing, sal

Have you experimented with using a single executive agent (instead of multiple agents)?

Why do people use LinkedIn? I think I had an account for 10 years and all I got was recruiter spam. Coworkers all use it. For what I don’t know. None of them were hired from there.

The way I’m seeing AI used by organizations is to produce process slop: tickets, summaries, docs, etc. rather than drive process change and optimization, or enable individuals to be more effective within the organization.

Discovery and optimization are very different processes. Optimization is the process of finding the shortest path to a goal. Discovery is the process of stumbling on new goals and redrawing the map of what's possible. Ambitious goals a

So change employees if your employee doesn’t accept unpaid overtime. Employers are the ones who set working conditions in the absence of collective bargaining (either via the state or unions). Consider for a moment that maybe, just maybe, u

Engineers should be wary about being forced into using particular prompts/skills/instructions. Why would I use a shared LLM-in-the-cloud, instead of my own? The shared one precludes any possibility to customize or differentiate m

To stop uncompensated overtime and on-call? I’d like that very much.

Title is inaccurate. Fixed more “security bugs” not “bugs”. The article is specifically about security vulnerabilities.
