Ask HN: I just want to build the future of software dev and AI. How?
Programming is my first love. I've been getting paid for coding since I was 14.
I've been so excited since Cursor launched, there's so much that's going to happen that will change the software dev industry completely. And I want to be building that, because we only get one life and I want to dedicate mine to my first love.
I built a product to solve cursor hallucinations and it's just moving sideways. Maybe I didn't hit on a strong enough pain point and that's okay, I know how to learn from my failures and pivot.
I recently sold all my belongings and moved to SF. It's so difficult without a network. How can I get in touch with startups and companies to understand their pain points around AI and software dev and help them code faster?
I've been reading HN since I was a kid and your advice is the most valuable to me.

- toomuchtodo 2y agoInterview, fail at interviews, learn from there where you need to improve, repeat until hired. Once hired, level up. There is no speed limit (https://sive.rs/kimo https://sive.rs/kimo). Your experience at a YC startup as an early engineer would potentially provide you with the expertise and network to eventually move to another org or become a founder yourself (bootstrap or VC funding, depending on your objectives).
