How much does it cost per day to have all these agents running on your computer?
Is your company paying for it or you?
What is your process of the agent writes a piece of code, let's say a really complex recursive function, and you aren't confident you could have come up with the same solution? Do you still submit it?
- paracyst 9mo agoThe guy who wrote the post is a billionaire
- gh0stcat 9mo agoI thought this was a joke ie you need to be a billionaire to be able to use agents like this, but you are correct. I think we need to stop listening to billionaires. The article is well thought out and well written, but his perspective is entirely biased by never having to think about money at all... all of this stuff is incredibly expensive.
- i_love_retros 9mo agoBillionaires also tend to have a vested interest in the tech being hyped and adopted, after all one doesn't become a billionaire without investments.
- jjice 9mo agoDefine investment in this case. He's the cofounder of HashiCorp. I guess you could refer to his equity as an investment here, but I don't really think it tracks the same in this context. He may have a vested interest, but he did cofound HashiCorp as an engineer that actually developed the products, so I find his insight at least somewhat valuable.
- i_love_retros 9mo agoWell did he become a billionaire from hashicorp alone or did he invest e.g. millions in stocks (like perhaps ai stocks) to become a billionaire

- eikenberry 9mo agoHe no longer has equity. Hashicorp was purchased by IBM in a cash deal.
- i_love_retros 9mo agoOh, never heard of him!
- eikenberry 9mo agoIs he? Source? I didn't think he made that much from the Hashicorp sale.
