If investor pool becomes too loose the company becomes de facto public, subject to all SEC-enforced regulations. The judgment is subjective though, so pushing the boundaries could be a calculated risk.

Take a look at hellointerview.com their model is very stubborn, similar to some interviewers who refuse to acknowledge even valid solutions that differ from the canon. No affiliation.

Interesting thing about psychponancy is it’s asymmetric. If an LLM is used to train an LLM it may not have the same level of aggressiveness that humans do when punishing back on trainee. Human pushback has specific patterns which we might b

If X is against law Y the recourse is to seek judgment from courts. If it’s not against the law the recourse is to seek new law from Congress. The difference is significant for that reason alone. The other reason is that if you’re looking t

That classic argument for step up is that a farmer’s son inheriting the farm suddenly owes a lot of taxes which he can’t pay without selling the farm. Is this a real problem? And how do we fix that?

The key flaw in the argument is that high quality interfaces do not spring to life by themselves. They are produced as an artifact of numerous iterations over both interfacing components. This does not invalidate the entire article, but int

I found it a lot safer to cherry pick into a new temp branch, test things out, rename the old branch to an archive name, and rename the new temp branch to old name. That is until I started using graphite, that solved the problem completely

> User interfaces are not art. Do UI designers think that way? I imagine some see it as engineering - make things work efficiently for the users. Others see it as art. The outcome will depend on which group gains the upper hand.

This requires correct vision + enough influence to execute. This is not a repetitive process. It’s pretty hard to tell apart a visionary from a lunatic until after they deliver an outsized success.

It’s not just career. Any artistic endeavor suffers from competition with the past, which eventually becomes a guaranteed loss. Negating the frame becomes the primary way to leave a mark.
