I’m not sure there is a huge advantage at the beginning, perhaps even a disadvantage because of the ease of use of Elixir. As you get more advanced you start using Erlang here and there to access things not in Elixir. For example, Elixir on

This is super interesting. I run a remote job board as a hobby (see below). My best estimate of jobs my crawler found as well as ones it did not is about 12,000 - 15,000 remote jobs added in February. This is a much higher proportion than

This is why I built tangerine feed for remote roles. It turns out there are tons of remote roles and you can get an edge by applying first. It has unfortunately come down to a numbers game with low odds. https://tangerinefeed.net

hey Ali - I love your post. Have you considered cofounder matching via YC? I am doing healthcare AI and have found collaborating with physicians is very helpful. https://www.ycombinator.com/cofounder-matching

I work alot of hours, and aim to solve organizational issues at the root cause with systematic solutions. This way, I minimize hands on management time.

Multi startup CTO/CPO (including one yc, and one growth stage high growth). So AI has been interesting for me across the three businesses I am working on. For two of them, it has enabled us to do things which were not possible at high

A possible endgame of this quest for growth is just mixing unlabeled ads directly in with search content. Effectively pay for ranking with some quality filter. I'm pretty sure it won't come to that, but worse things have happened.

Much more in the camp of exhaustive pattern matching such as in Scala or Elixir. Makes my code much cleaner, and I avoid if statements and loops.

So for me getting interviews has been a numbers game. I tried customizing my resume, and gave up after a few hundred tries and no responses. Now I’ve built https://tangerinefeed.net and am using to it to apply to tons of jobs ev

Honestly, to me there is no difference in how I see AS employees. Every engineer has their own needs to be productive, and it’s my job to deeply understand them and give them a great environment.

It was not a deliberate choice, just it was what the site was built in, so people like Evan and Marcel (Laverdet) made php beautiful for us.

The goal here is to actually understand the mechanics of the model and begin the process of intuitively understanding the space. I would put the effort here at a few weekends of focus. Also will add the models turned out to be a lot simpler

Assuming you have the math and algorithmic background, I would start by reading the “attention is all you need” paper. After reading, attempt to build a baby transformer model in PyTorch. After that, consider constructing some of the buildi

How strange, I met Larry about two decades ago at a research conference and we stayed in touch by email for a little while. I had no idea he was this prominent or influential, and he never mentioned anything other than his current work. Sup
