Assuming you're asking in good faith Based on this and your last couple of posts, I can sense you are struggling. Please don't rely on the advice of strangers (mine included). Some…

Why are there so few Shazam alternatives? Does it have something to do with licensing perhaps? The algorithm itself is fascinating but I don't get why this space seems to have just…

What you described is the present of tech, not the future.

i have the inexplicable urge to whip a llama's ass

You're missing GPs point. GP is not arguing to remove the concept of LLCs. GP is arguing that the entity in charge of all your medical information should not be an LLC. LLCs in gen…

That is an absolutely massive number. I wonder if openAI or anyone has published their retention rate.

Those examples help, thanks. I misunderstood your original post and thought you were planning on doing something to _change_ policy. I see now your thought is more about helping pe…

Ah, that makes sense. So the focus is on helping people navigate the policy, not changing the policy. I can see how that can help.

Maybe I’m missing the point - all these issues are because of various governments’ policies. how could startups possibly address immigration policy problems? I can’t think of any w…

I have great respect for John Carmack but this feels like a very unnuanced take. Lead time isn't about "startups", it's about code complexity, side effects and blast radius. The ti…

> Unless everyone in the org works the same three days a week in-office Amazon had a culture of small teams (≤15 people) being somewhat independent. I would imagine that you don't …

LLM n00b here. My 2c - Prompts are the input that you send to LLMs to get them to give you output. In general LLMs are large black boxes, and the output you get is not always great…

> If you've worked on a large Python or JS codebase, what was it like to work in? Rife with footguns. Things broke all the time until we eventually re-added some form of static typ…

Wayfair is a major player in e-commerce and a very "tech heavy" place. They offer work and salaries that are highly competitive outside of the FAANG bubble. Chewy is another simila…

I'm genuinely curious if there's a wall this was written on. Does anyone have links to articles/websites that predicted the size and timing of the layoffs?

It is incredibly weird. I can only speak for CS academia and industry. It is very different in the industry. In my industry jobs, there is a lot of structure. New grads are often g…

I think its a distinction between the type of person that says "I want to build a business, I think building product X sounds like a good way to do so" and the type that thinks "I …

My goals from 1-1s are asking for regular feedback and preventing surprises. I keep a running list of things that I need to talk to my manager about. I pull top 2-3 things off this…

On a long enough time scale - all of my decisions to reuse vs reinvent were wrong. At a given point in time though they all seemed fine.

About 15 years ago I was trying to debug a pesky timing issue and couldn't reproduce it. I wrote a script to capture and replay network traces from Wireshark (then called Ethereal)…

What's really awesome about this is I think you independently discovered a huge trick in performance optimization. "Zero copy" solutions for eliminating the overhead of moving fram…

The problem, I think, is that only the people who don't like reading this leave comments. So here I am, commenting that I feel exactly the same way as you. This is the reason I wen…

I know nothing about Airbnb's numbers but the thesis just doesn't make sense to me. It seems like this is a whole article around a hashtag. The easiest explanation is that not ever…
