Not sure how practical for your startup, but how much of the next 18 months can you fund in ways that don't create equity (or implied equity) overlords? Can design-partners prepay? Can you get paid pilots, deposits, a grant?

Another good AI use-case: cleaning up notes. What I've written in my scratch pad ( https://motate.app/@sblue/linalg-exam-2-notes-755e73c1-8ddc-... ) would be unusable as a reference at exam time. But I was able to A

I'm a current student, who also happens to be a full-time professional who is "all in on AI", and I think most are missing the true opportunities AI opens up for education. Because my student path is non-linear (vs just follo

Pilling on to say well done on the interactivity and visuals / design overall. I'm working to make producing posts like this universally accessible ( http://motate.app/ ) and posts like yours are an inspiration.

Thank you. This didnt come from place of peace or strength but from grief and a sense of need to honor her. One possibility for vibe coding is that it may turn app / web development into a form of therapy for more non-professional deve

Thank you. I for one appreciate the curtsey of expressing sympathies. I don't question the motivation or whatever. It's just a kind gesture. I will note that I'm trying not to think of her death as a loss. It certainly is in
