Yeah, and its extra funny with everyone agreeing Dave should own it, but he isn't on the email loop at all.

Yeah but the contention is here automating the bookings. Did Claude book the flights, hotels, tickets and attractions for you or would you let it without oversight?

Which is good if sailing is what you wanted and like to do, which is what the author and the OP is implying. You don't necessarily have to "succeed" or "reach" somewhere.

I’ve had similar experiences. I now have an explicit line in AGENTS.md to not use subagents unless explicitly requested. It also helps that for the tasks that are big enough to benefit from subagents are also the ones with high chances of

No, please no. Hyperlinks exist, and they work just fine. HN is one of the last few sites that doesn't glamorize the UX (nothing wrong with that). I'd rather read a thousand words than a picture.

I guess it's a bit of this and bit of that. The products I've sold before or discussed with others were on the former side. I think that was largely due to the metrics that are usually used to qualify (churn, MoM growth, etc.) are

From my experience, x arr is not a reliable metric for products of this size. They don't exactly have risk covered returns due to their size and they're usually bought for their growth prospect than any meaningful return it can gi

I've thought about it in the past, but the risk/reward ratio is better if I just run it myself. Also, the whole selling process was a huge turnoff for me as the offers were at most 3x arr and lots of tirekickers when I posted on a

I did fell into that pitfall when I built keenly. Just wanted to build something new. But then, only when I received good feedback I thought to proceed with it. I won't deny, the new thing is definitely appealing because it's new.

That’s the thing though, it’s a Google engineer’s market salary, and likely the author’s as well. But the OP was drawing the conclusion that whoever’s running the business has to be paid the same amount, that’s what I wanted to address. &gt

Valuing a profit-generating business that's making $1m in revenue as zero is reductive. Valuation of business isn't necessarily determined by profits (perhaps for commodity businesses), It's just one of the metric. This is a

Thanks for this! I’m very surprised about the overwhelming support for Altman in this thread going as far as calling the board incompetent and inexperienced to fire someone like him, who now is suddenly the right steward for AI. This is not

Don’t be. Almost all of it are speculations at this point and no one from inside is going to reveal the secret in a random HN comment. And also, think about this, unless you’re a shareholder with openai, knowing the “opinion” of others isn’
