School walkouts typically have nothing to do with the school itself, and certainly do not ask for it to be allowed. It is the kids who walk out. The schools typically treat it like any other unexcused absence.

OK, cool, but... why? If your goal is release notes with content meaningful to the user, not just tech details, wouldn't it be even easier/better/cheaper to just send the content of Jira tickets instead of all the code into y

Are you joking? The cost of writing code is practically free. Some basic hosting is very cheap. Find just a couple of paying customers and you are self-sustaining. Hire only when the revenue supports it, and you remain that way.

No, I have the opposite reaction. A new company with funding to me just implies a runway that will run out, and no profitable business attached to it. Show me a balance sheet that is self-sustaining on their own revenue, and I'll work

I think it is a lower level problem than that. "Founders" fall into the trap of thinking that getting funding is a fundamental aspect of building something new, when it is not. Instead of building a solid business plan, then apply

A database is a file system when you get down to it. The reason people use them is to abstract up a layer so you can query the data and get the results you want instead of having to iterate through direct reads of a disk, then having to rea

That seems like an acceptable constraint to me. If you need a structured query, LLMs are the wrong solution. If you can accept ambiguity, LLMs may the the right solution.

And at the same time, professional woodworkers still exist, and people really hate on IKEA desks. So I agree - the number of professional software engineers may decrease, but it isn't going away. And based on what I'm seeing in my

That is a really poor sampling of scores, though. That makes their "Beethoven" example an outlier from someone who wouldn't even be in the top if you included the full spectrum of scores. There was also no link to a study, ju

LLMs hallucinate - This is known. If you choose to use them, you go in knowing they need help to be accurate. You clearly know how to use the tools to reach the accuracy you desire, but asking for that usage to be free seems to be based on

I've found that contracting to just do the work to build peoples ideas, getting your paychecks, and maybe a tiny bit of equity when you can negotiate it, is a safer long-term bet than any founder/co-founder experience.

So I upload a map, and it gives me a 3-lertter wordle whose answer is: map. This is probably a really clever coding exercise, but an enjoyable game it is not. Maybe share more about the code?

Nah, I gotta disagree. When I was studying art, getting my degree, etc., there was absolutely a line drawn between the academic pursuit of art, which did include the academic context, history, and all that rot of which you speak vs. the dai

It sounds like you re-invented sendgrid, but are charging more money for it. Did you do competitive research, and can you articulate what you do that is different than the other mail platforms, and why that justifies the higher pricing?

I fail to understand why people anthropomorphize LLMs. They are word calculators. Sure, impressive ones. Useful ones. But still just calculators. So it should be self-evident that limiting their output will change their output. It may be in
