Smaller or faster growing companies often need versatile people that can speak to customers and developers. Or find a tiny niche where you can leverage technology to make a customer life easier. Then do that for more customers. Or experimen

I have to believe this is true. The only problem is, there’s a lot of money tied up and openAi and Anthropic, who are incentivised to convince the world that the general approach is the money making one.

We should understand the complexity we are adding but having LLMs as a tool does also make managing the complexity easier.

You raise great points. Feel like this should be in their letters rather than (or in addition to) the threat of legal action.

The TV license is insane to me, as a non-brit moving to the uk. I am happy to pay a reasonable price for something I use. But the threats I get about a GBP 1,000 is very un-british. I don't know who runs the TV licensing scheme but the

One thing that always exists in financial markets is cycles. It just might last longer than we care for. I’m a small biz guy and not interested in VC. Very boring.

Time will tell. Did you know that when bicycles were invented society was concerned about the moral corruption of children and women? Who knows where they will go without men! The anthropomorphising is also a head scratcher for me. Ancient

I think it’s important to understand that your job need not be your identity, while acknowledging that for many of us particularly early in our careers the job is very important. Maybe focus on a hobby, a partner, something that gives you a

So… figure out what’s going on before changing things? I must admit I’ve always considered this to be self-evident but maybe I’m the odd one out. I’d be a terrible blogger.

> When a user cancels a subscription Stripe asks them for a reason. At the moment I don’t really do anything with the cancellation reason, actually this is the first time I’ve ever looked at the data. This comes across as very unserious.

Interesting analogy. Sounds like an opportunity for GitHub/others to better filter these.

Yeah I think you call out the right incentives. Lots of people are very interested in renting out the hardware, and it gives us lots of flexibility vs buying. If the pace of hardware change is what the jensens of the world say, then the ren

It’s fair to compare the two options. Our assumptions may differ - and that’s ok... The monthly costs may go down too.

Guys like Gates are extrapolating recent trends (ChatGPT onwards), but what if you defined the start of AI as the 1950s (when it actually started). Perhaps I’m too distant from the inner circles of Silicon Valley but as an outsider… I sugge
