Right but you cant expect perfect implementation, as the complexity of the business needs grows, so does the accidental complexity.

I think this works in simple domains. After working in big tech for a while, I am still shocked by the required complexity. Even the simplest business problem may take a year to solve, and constantly break due to the astounding number of ed

I think coding manually is like doing wood work manually, its going away. I am planning my exit, expecting it to take a few years for me to fully leave the field. But I want out, and this is coming from someone with a ton of FAANG experienc

AI is way underhyped, its just going to take society a long time to integrate this tectonic shift into our existing ways of working

Financial engineering is why people are poor. They are literally competing for goods and services with investment firms.

I've commonly seen grants like this diluted to almost zero. I would think carefully and strategically about how you can get some sort of value for the equity you vested. Its probably harder than you think to get decent liquidity on it.

there are deep reasons for why society is not like this anymore

This works for UX. I give it vague requirements, and it implements something i didnt ask for, but is better than i would have thought of

Yeah but theres also sorts of political implications for admitting that

The value of these researchers to meta is surely more than a few billion. Love seeing free markets benefit the world

OpenAI SDK is much simpler to use and understand than langchain etc. I havent deployed really complicated agents, but I have a number of simple use cases that work just fine

I love to hate on google, but yeah their models are really good. The larger context window is huge

this only works for very early stage

I'm seeing big advances that arent shown in the benchmarks, I can simply build software now that I couldnt build before. The level of complexity that I can manage and deliver is higher.

in my experience it is 100% true, every contract i have seen with over legalese is created by people who expect to be acting on those terms

by codingwagie 1y ago
I think its completely possible to start a side business, people just dont 100% validate business ideas before building

by codingwagie 1y ago
any extremely long contract with obtuse terms is designed to screw you in some way. you just wont know until you get there, unless you are willing to spend 10-20k on lawyers to argue the terms

This is something you learn when you actually raise venture and meet peers that have raised capital. Beyond the very early stages, the CTO can easily be replaced, the CEO is the face of the business.

Personally think that supabase and vercel are giving AWS a run for their money, and will start to eat into their market share. The developer experience is far superior to AWS, in a way that cannot be argued away by AWS handling "more c
