Regardless of the model quality improvement, the corporate damage was done by not only ignoring the Opus quality degradation but gaslighting users into thinking they aren’t using i…

Very cool list but why no mention of biome? I’ve been using that on a recent project and it’s been pretty great. Also bun test instead of vitest.

I really like this article, particularly the part about the gravitational threshold. My overall thoughts about launching products is that there will just be more products with smal…

I totally agree with you. I am working on a new platform right now for a niche industry. Maybe theres $10m ARR to make total in the industry. Last year, it wouldn’t be worth the ef…

I'm a longtime tech lead-level engineer, but I'd rather retire from the industry and work towards this instead! Please share this url with anyone you know who is interested in the …

I've been developing a framework extending Prigogine's dissipative structures theory to explain how systems organize around energy gradients. The unexpected validation came from AI…

I company a cofounded went bankrupt last winter, and then my first child was born a few months later. I was depressed about the bankruptcy, but it was nice to be able to focus on b…

We had revenue around $250m per year, so it wasn’t a question of market fit…

I was the founding CTO here, and will probably walk away with $0. You can AMA, in the hope that I can help someone else avoid this fate in their future.

I agree with the vibe of this article. The difference between today versus historical periods of high interest rates is that today there are multiple mature billion/trillion-dollar…

I’ve been both a cofounder and early stage employee. I think it’s definitely appropriate to ask, but also fine for the company to deny. The cap table can contain some red flags: fo…

I feel you on this! As a follow up: what are some of the top tips you would recommend?

Sounds like me! I'm moving back to CA after ~2 years in Dallas. I didn't hate Dallas, but my fiancee does. But yeah the weather is awful: 115 degree summers, below-freezing winters…

I've had a lot of red wine in my life; like, probably too much. The only bottle with a memorable taste came from a wine tour in Napa Valley where they said half the field was destr…

In my past, I have both worked multiple jobs as a developer, and employed developers working multiple jobs. I have seen it bring a lot more benefits than drawbacks. To say to someo…

I feel your pain on this. As an occasional NPM library author, I feel that Typescript can help with this, although NPM itself is not structured in a way that compliments Typescript…

As an employer, I have seen low-performing employees resign because they found a senior/management/VP-level title elsewhere, and I think “well, good for you, I suppose”… I imagine …

I sold once with Equityzen and once with a different company, I forget the name. Both times were great, but it took years from start to finish. They’ll help you through the process…

I would say if they cannot operate third-party services like Google Tag Manager, then yes. But that's on them. A warning sign of an ineffective department (marketing, ads, comms, e…
