I always find the idea that a solo founder + AI being a whole company would be a good thing to be a bit wonky. I'm sure it's very popular in circles that see employees as cost-centers and that would rather not have to deal with ta

The CD joke aside, there's something weird abouta large, recognizable entity using such a nondescript MS form and collecting names and addresses, only to send something to a very small segment of them. Feels like a data harvesting oper

At the very least, I would imagine you'd read and think about the error, parse through and clean it up for unneeded bits if the whole thing isn't relevant and write around it to provide context on what happened / possible thi

I'm also not confident this is something that will stick (and survive the acquisition), which further weakens the idea that companies would set up expensive migration projects to it.

Is the goal to build something and learn something from the experience, or try and build something with adoption in mind? If the former, the answer to your question is always "yes": if there's something to learn and you'

Not too long ago, a recruiter reached out for a confidential client that turned out to be ClickUp with a posting that felt off (600-900k + stock and bonus compensation), I was left wondering what kind of insanity is rolled into the job for

I'm a bit confused about the offering here, it feels like Amp is positioning itself as a reseller of sorts. Couldn't the startups just purchase compute directly from AMZ/GCP/Azure? Through direct or indirect ownership, I

How does this compare to YAML and TOML? It feels that both of the above would be in the same bucket of "fewer tokens than JSON/XML and generally easier on the eye", with the benefit of having a pretty rich ecosystem already.

To add to this, it's much harder to turn back while confidently wrong than it is when you know you are building on flimsy assumptions. By the time you turn around on bad data, much more damage can be done.

A hot take: it's hard to take a privacy-first claim without a large grain of salt when data at rest is hosted and processed in the U.S., an increasingly-rogue actor with no meaningful privacy laws. > The team that builds and runs Ec

Given that it's a pretty niche thing, a link or post context wouldn't hurt. That being said, I would assume that like most DIY things, part of the purpose of it is the creative journey that leads you to assembling yours. You learn

I have yet to read into the actual announcement, but I would bet dollars to donuts that the check is really "run the plan through another LLM whose system prompt is prefixed with 'you are great at safety checks'".

I hope their foray into compute works out better than their shoemaking. Bought a pair, didn't even last a season before starting to fall apart (which would still be very on brand for the general AI sector).
