I sometimes feel guilty. I’ve tried to set goals (I really have) but it’s just not how I’m wired. I tend to improvise my way through things. Even as a kid, I remember never feeling that urge to "win" at anything. Sports, board gam

ChatGPT ≠ Google-scale.Google: ~14 B searches/day; ChatGPT: ~37 M (~1 : 400). Only ~15 % of ChatGPT prompts look like classic “search”; most are writing/code tasks. Google’s own search volume grew 22 % in 2024 and still holds >

Building a QA platform so non-tech folks can test and improve LLM products WITHOUT needing developers. It’s crazy how much time developers waste tweaking hardcoded prompts, writing endless test cases or constantly shift focus between buildi
