these is an interesting list. What's blocking you to start? Do you really need infinite resource to start?

My feeling: Meh. On one hand, AI helps me and my team ideate and prototype quickly. On the other, it’s replacing the fun part of coding with the annoying part: troubleshooting its thought process and fixing its generated code. I’d say it’s

you meant Exafunction? Nothing of Exafunction was discussed in OpenAI or Google deals. Windsurf did start as a rinky-dinky starup, just as a plugin (Codeium). And in its current state, it still has no moat. The only reason big tech leaders

Anyone can build a proprietary model in under a week; but the point is - Cursor and Windsurf don't have proprietary models that remove dependency on external models, and/or have capabilities that competitors don't have.

I was so surprised (or shocked) to hear that Windsurf was getting acquired for 3 billion dollars, I made an HN post asking about the truth of that news - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43933825 . HN's system didn&

And I have added a few more lessons since. Specially this simulation can help you decide whether to quit your job for a startup. Walk through realistic scenarios like "You have 9 months runway, no traction yet - what do you do?" B

That claim actually gives me pause. It reminds me of an idea from Zero to One by Peter Thiel - that real monopolies like to appear as a small fish in a very big pond, while tiny players try to appear as a monopoly. So when I see a company b

yes. And they will try both carrots and sticks. The carrots are already visible - think abstractions like "projects" in ChatGPT.

I wish that too, and I’ve always wanted to offer features like this in everything I build. But it’s a lot of work to prevent abuse, especially for resource intensive features when supporting unsigned-in use cases.

I agree with the principle. Most books in the case study section fall into what I’d call the “self-help-business” category. They’re comforting reads, especially when work isn’t going well. You don’t necessarily turn to them for strategy, bu

off topic but I'd be very curious to know what role resource plays on kindness. i.e., to proof or disproof this hypothesis - "lack of resource increases cruelty"

After all these years of returning magic values for “no result,” I finally came across std::optional<T> (added in C++17). It makes representing “maybe there’s a value, maybe not” so much cleaner and safer. Has anyone else had a “how d

I've had a very good experience with Cursor on small Typescript projects. It started hallucinating a lot as my typescript project got bigger. I found it pretty useless in languages like Go and C++. I ended up canceling Cursor this mon

Facebook has been setting some pretty terrible precedents in terms of how far malicious behavior can go unchecked. And once again, nothing meaningful will happen: no real consequences, no structural change. At worst(/best), they'l

I’d love to have an ad-free internet, sure. But simply introducing regulations won’t make that happen. There’s too much money in advertising to stop it, and that money can fund an alternative, ad-supported internet that could offer a signif
