you can negotiate in advance a buyout at the next fundraise event, like if he raises 2 mil you will get 200k in exchange for the 14. I will note that you should try not to anchor on the safe cap, it’s not an equity valuation, the company FM

your problem domain is greenfield freelancing if i am reading you correctly? The tarpit of AI discussion is that everybody assumes that their local perspective is globally applicable. It is not.

in my opinion it is the events and state transitions that are where everything interesting and challenging happens, like server IO in mount/unmount/didUpdate lifecycle methods or event callbacks. For example, a typeahead component

UI is not just DOM it is also network connections, events from the user, and local state. React only datafies the DOM orchestration. The UI=f(state) composition model fails at all of these points, most vividly at the network boundary, but d

a problem with a repl-centric approach to crud apps is that the repl is not reactive. It is a good fit for request/response pure function backend programming. But UIs are not pure functions, they have a deeply effectful nature, and bei

determinism isn’t really enough, we want “predictable”. Most of these AI wavefunctions are “chaotic” - tiny changes in state can cause wildly divergent outcomes

i would add that the reason no product manager wants to pay for #3 is because historical attempts to do so have overwhelmingly resulted in cost/schedule overruns; did-not-finish outcomes are common. Let he who believes otherwise demons

data engineering was free money for nothing at all circa 2014, they got paid about 1.5x a fullstack application developer for .5x the work because frontend/ui work was considered soft, unworthy

do you think it’s really exponential in practice? i don’t know if i see that, and polynomial (growth in bugs per LOC) is enough to explain why all sufficiently large projects grind to a halt

use git subtree - first to concatenate the minor repos into one major repo, and then subtree split from that point forward to publish subtree folders back to the minor repos, if needed (e.g. open source projects to github). works for us wit

If the cost per unit delivery (say LOC) grows something like polynomial due to interconnectedness, surely it is superlinear for even a state of art formal reasoning system let alone imperative langs, it will outstrip our ability to build en

yeah, i think the siren song of reducing developer cost and accelerating delivery is irresistible to boards, execs, managers, non-senior devs (all essentially semi-technical, even the nonexpert devs) but it is a mirage. The startups that ov

Time Is The Denominator, especially in an industry context where you are being paid (there’s that pesky denominator again). R&D, which is what this is, is a very expensive and risky endeavor. 99% of startup projects fail, for example.
