Fascinating that the linked page leads with specs rather than customer experience. Many of the comments here do speak to the experience, which is helpful!

As it should be. Gets your employees out front talking with customers.

I guess it comes down to definition of “running”. Maybe running means automating some number of functions. I read it initially as running as a CEO does, which includes a whole lot more.

I use the coding tools in my business. I wouldn’t for a moment suggest those tools are capable of “running” a business and I think it is disingenuous to suggest so.

If you have an agent that can run a business, then… why not… run a business? Why does YC bother financing startups led by founders, if the AI can just do it? (This startup proudly remarks that it’s backed by YC)

Smaller or faster growing companies often need versatile people that can speak to customers and developers. Or find a tiny niche where you can leverage technology to make a customer life easier. Then do that for more customers. Or experimen

Not a bank until 2018 And they clearly figured that was easier than going through the UK where they had previously been licensed

I have to believe this is true. The only problem is, there’s a lot of money tied up and openAi and Anthropic, who are incentivised to convince the world that the general approach is the money making one.

who is "they"? and why is this a desirable outcome exactly?

We should understand the complexity we are adding but having LLMs as a tool does also make managing the complexity easier.

You raise great points. Feel like this should be in their letters rather than (or in addition to) the threat of legal action.

The TV license is insane to me, as a non-brit moving to the uk. I am happy to pay a reasonable price for something I use. But the threats I get about a GBP 1,000 is very un-british. I don't know who runs the TV licensing scheme but the

Yeah it was interesting to me that I identified it immediately. Perhaps been spending too much time w/ Claude It's capable of many different designs but this site tells me Rashid didn't even bother.

One thing that always exists in financial markets is cycles. It just might last longer than we care for. I’m a small biz guy and not interested in VC. Very boring.

Time will tell. Did you know that when bicycles were invented society was concerned about the moral corruption of children and women? Who knows where they will go without men! The anthropomorphising is also a head scratcher for me. Ancient

I think it’s important to understand that your job need not be your identity, while acknowledging that for many of us particularly early in our careers the job is very important. Maybe focus on a hobby, a partner, something that gives you a

So… figure out what’s going on before changing things? I must admit I’ve always considered this to be self-evident but maybe I’m the odd one out. I’d be a terrible blogger.

I did this… I have a specific system-generated PDF bank statement and it didn’t take too long to write a parsing program, which would have taken much longer before.

> When a user cancels a subscription Stripe asks them for a reason. At the moment I don’t really do anything with the cancellation reason, actually this is the first time I’ve ever looked at the data. This comes across as very unserious.
