"after 11 technical interviews" "your work has been accepted into our codebase" interviews are getting out of hand

found the anthropic employee

i've seen a lot of people vibe coding solo startups doing "RL environments for X" if you don't have a 10+ person team, there is a high chance no one will pay for your sanitized claude outputs

flying on the pull bar has to be a top 3 feeling

claude code is going to give birth to so many computer companies

AI is going to be a fungible commodity data is the only moat and everyone is giving it away for free 😩

we must remain optimistic and keep looking for opportunities, i whisper to myself in the mirror as the tears roll down my cheeks and drip off my chin onto my lanyard. we must change with the times, i scream, as i punch the mirror, shattering it. as i look at the blood on my hand, i hear siri chirp up "here's what i found for 'change with the times'"

software has decomposed in its grave hardware just died if you're an engineer it's too late to pivot see you in the permanent underclass

engineering in general is dead.

"i'm waiting for the 2nd gen iphone duo" ok so you clearly don't know anything about product design cycles

this is just a different flavor of bitcoin mining 0. company offers a fixed prize for a difficult problem 1. individuals throw compute (LLM tokens) to solve problem 2. sum of individual $ spent on compute > total value of prize 3. thousands of $ of compute wasted by individuals, but company receives solution at fixed cost 4. profit

dont need to imagine cuz im not broke

One thing that instagram does really well is quickly adapt to the native iphone experience ie liquid glass makes it feel like a core apple product. like it doesn't really have its own product identity as much as a platform identity, which makes sense considering most users will have either an iphone or an android, and will prefer the native platform experience

props to the apple intern that was fired for proposing to ship the duo folded in the box to save packaging costs

you can JUST build things you can't ship them or get users

unpatched infinite money glitch: if claude can't solve your problem you can repackage it as a reinforcement learning environment and sell it to anthropic
