It is fascinating how design has become the new gold standard in the AI era. It really looks the strongest signals come from taste and design quality and AI is killing other signals.

We need to stop telling people they will make money with crypto. It is akin telling people they will make money with PostgreSQL. In both cases, if they build a great business, they may become successful and make some money. But looking at c

I believe in crypto, I think it will even protect people online when done right. And not everything is scam, there are good projects. That being said the behavior of people and organizations in crypto is poor and will slow adoption. I still

And very soon that will apply to packages with values below $800 as the de minimis exemption is being phased out I reckon. Not exactly business-friendly, the government should be able to handle the load before enacting these rules at least.

If they invest elsewhere, they will have limited access to the U.S. market—that is Trump’s policy it seems. If the U.S. has one thing going for it, it’s the strength of its market, characterized by high consumer spending and strong potentia

This reminds me of Galileo - the U.S. tried everything they could to kill this "European GPS". It is pretty clear today that giving up on it would have been a catastrophic mistake. Europe should not risk make the same mistake with

I think companies who want to access the large U.S. internal market will have an incentive to have factories in the U.S. That will likely fuel growth. The growth will be coupled with less imports and exports given nationalism and tariffs. A

Probably accurate for the coming 4 years. In the middle to long term though, Europe should and will decouple from the US in defense and tech. US influence will be reduced. European almost made a fatal mistake with Galileo that the US wanted

I do think there will be a recession yes. But within 6 to 18 months, the recession could be over with and growth will come back as the US rebuilds some of its industrial base. US imports and exports will decrease over time. Note: it is my p

That’s fine if Trump wants to spend less or even withdraw from NATO. Doing it like it just did with basically no notice is a stabbing in the back to former allies of the US. And Republicans are also not saying much. That behavior should and

Totally agree that Trump is trading long-term dominance for short-term gains. I think that in a few months, we will see the U.S. economy doing very well and somehow rebuilding its industrial base. In the long term, U.S. influence and wealth

Good question and I have no strong answer today. But I think we'll find a way to tune models to achieve this very soon. I see such a difference between what is built today and codebases from 10 years ago with indirections everywhere, u

I think that some engineers will still be needed to maintain old codebases for a while yes. But it's pretty clear that the codebases of tomorrow will be leaner and mostly implemented by AI, starting with apps (web, mobile,...). It will

The point that this article makes is that founding engineers shouldn't accept 1% equity. I think it's more nuanced. I've worked in startups for a long time and my experience is that early engineers are more motivated by the 0

This story also shows another facet of inflation: the amount currently paid is €13.61 a year. Effectively, that debt was killed by inflation over the years. Inflation makes it harder for the current generation but also free future generatio

Congrats on the launch. I work in healthtech and I'm always shocked by how fragmented and siloed the technology is in my industry. Both at the application level (EHR) and data level, leading to general inefficiency, high costs and inno
