The beauty of venture capital is that VCs don't really know either but they allow themselves to be presuaded by the founders. Its a beautiful thing.

It would be hilarious if they don't know how to fix it because this was built by "running loops calling Claude" and they haven't the faintest idea of the present underlying architecture. :)

Yep - its an interesting angle to look at it. Or rather OpenSource might have just saved the world!

This is more an example of code distribution rather than intelligence. If Claude had NOT been trained on compiler code, it would NOT have been able to build a compiler. Definitely signals the end of software IP or at least in its present fo

SaaS dying is mostly nonsense. Which is easier to vibecode - AI agent or Salesforce? The fragmentation in the AI agent space will be markedly larger than at the base CRM layer. Abd the AI agent is replaceable in under a minute but your data

This is nonsense to get you to work more for the same pay. Its good to do this to get an idea of what it means to work on a higher level but it WILL NOT get you promoted. Promotion is about leverage. What can you supply that no one else can

With an LLM it takes 15 minutes. With libraries and books and youtube and research probably 4 hours. Thats a meaningful difference to get upto speed. If you're an engineer you get a hell of a lot of agency in 15 minutes. A lot provider

The LLMs help you understand how the pricing works. Eg: when my shower didn't work I was able to figure out all steps - and also do most of them before getting stuck at one particular point because I couldn't physically pull the u

First thing that I thought off when LLMs came out - literally been in my head for 2 years. A lot of price gouging is based on you not knowing the details or the process. With LLMs you can know both. For most anything from kitchen renovation

I use an app but I also have an excel sheet where I track everything very carefully every week or so. Trust my excel sheet much much more. Honestly for everyone I know this is how they do it. There is one guy who built his own app and his i

Untrue - there isn't a personal finance solution that doesn't have mistakes. Not one. I've literally tried them all. Its mostly because the syncing with accounts is very very brittle and a lot of things like stock plans etc a

Could you elaborate on what you mean? That 80% of medical issues could be categorized as "standard medicine" with some personalization to the person? residency you obviously see a lot of real life complicated cases but aren't

I've seen that LLMs hallucinate in very subtle ways when guidng you through a course of treatment. Once when having to administer eyedrops to a parent, and I saw redness and was being conservative, it told me the wrong drop to stop. Th

With LLMs the ability to create your own experience whilst using services as "databases" is really possible. My crazy though is that this is where the internet will go. One of the big problems with SaaS is that the apps are tuned

This is also why starting your own thing will give you better experience at being a VP than working at a 9-5. (But it’s also harder than being a VP.) And if you’re going back to 9-5 after an unsuccessful startup stint, look for VP or GM lik

This is an interesting. AI leads to more useless dives down into the internets.

Practical knowledge is the at most important. Weirdly you’ll get a lot of useful experience as you analyze yourself through 80 years.

From a knowledge standpoint an LLM can give you pointers at any point. Theres no way it will "fall short". You just have to improve your prompt. In the worst case scenario you can say "please list out all the different resear

You just aren’t delving deep enough. For every problem that stops you, ask the LLM. With enough context it’ll give you at least a mediocre way to get around your problem. It’s still a lot of hard work. But the only person that can stop your

Yes. LLMs are the perfect learning assistant. You can now do literally anything. Literally. Going to take a while for everyone to figure this out but they will given time.

Do NOT work only your contract hours. It might seem like the logical choice but it rarely is because of following reasons : 1. You cannot build strong skills working just contract hours. 2. You cannot market your achievements by working on

At a corporate job, starting projects will catapult you more than finishing them. Especially long multi year projects. My mentor mentioned this to me and it took me a LONG time to understand it. Starting an AI project for example will: 1. p

Place your monitor in front of or next to a window so you can look out of a window so your eyes can refocus and you can look out into the world. Do NOT place your computer in front of a wall - this literally makes me feel depressed.

I’d say what actually made his ventures fail is his Google shares. Having a fallback scenario doesn’t allow for the complete focus and ruthlessness to succeed at company building. Weirdly I know the SVP Eng at that Virgin charter company. T

You can only job hop once in 2 years. All that other time watching TV and commenting on YC can be used to learn to run a business. Also the skills you'll learn by starting a very tiny biz - marketing, sales, resilience, communication,
