You gotta look even earlier than 2023. Their net income peaked in 2021 at 776 million for the year, growing 20% year over year. That's a 20x valuation, which is honestly not that crazy considering the bubble of 2021.

When someone leaves have you ever had code dumped on you that you've never read before and has no tests? If you don't even know what the code is supposed to do , you can't write tests for it. The way I handled it is: when pe

When LLMs can do the following, they might be able to fix data hell: - Negotiate with different teams to figure out what a field means - Be told that a field should be converted from one format to another, but oh wait it's causing erro

The family has 6 drivers and 6 vehicles, they live in california, and don't have the best driving record. That's $278 per person per month, so really not that outrageous

Do you really think it is semi manual? I guess I never considered the possibility, but I would be surprised. It seems like there are way too many niches and sub-niches, and the algorithm works rather quickly when news happens
