Here's an attempt at quantifying Junior staff need constant help, but senior staff need space that's hard to achieve at an office. Studies show people take 30m-1.5hr to dial in for deep work. So, imagine a "light" office

Yep traditional advice is don't burn > 100k / mo when early stage, and most lower. So 2mo+ payroll fine for a normal seed, early A. Later stage are normally more sensitive. It's also a real issue with profitable companies

Get professional help ASAP vs asking unqualified techies Your employer is likely down for you to go part-time. Not clear if unemployment or new job will actually help, and even if so, way better to find a new job from a position of employme

Slight tangent inspired by the premise, but why do EKS etc cap the number of pods and other resources on a node? We try to enable our customers to start on 1 node and scale up at their discretion, but found we had to into all sorts of conto

Great writeup by the Kuzu team! An especially interesting area to us is how to redo these to be accelerated with GPUs. Ex: See https://www.adms-conf.org/2014/adms14_wu.pdf We've been taking a worse-is-better appro

They don't have to. Ad & search dependent companies need to answer for themselves how to handle the coming disruptions. As an analogy, Kodak was a disruption opportunity, not a problem, for apple and flickr. Yes, maybe some content

Totally! My point is chatgpt isn't a high-moat advantage for text/q&a for microsoft. Their top competitors here have similarly huge UI footprint. In contrast, program synthesis has a much higher data moat.
