A lot of people is assuming the change is AI related but it sounds more like they are going to start (or maybe clarifying that they already do) actively monitoring creations for illegal activity and the like. I'm reserving judgement he

That sounds like a good idea but oddly enough the first startup (the one I was at 10 years) only raised a friend and family and we were able to land customers and bootstrap from that and the second one I bootstrapped out of a little cash I

This is kind of why I haven't replied directly to this one yet. I don't know how I feel, ethically, about wasting interviewers time. I've been on the hiring side of the table a ton in the last 13 years (just not on the other

Being a startup CTO doesn't necessarily translate well to CTO (or even VP of Engineering) at more established companies. They are different skill sets. I can probably get a startup CTO / technical cofounder role at a pre-seed or m

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you and I are kind of in the same boat. Unfortunately my previous employer that wasn't a startup no longer exists (it was 14 years ago after all, they got crushed by the 1..2 punch of the dot com crash a

I think you may be discounting GTP. I've seen it notice logic errors in proprietary non-standard code that a human missed. It may not be able to literally "reason" through your code but it can follow the logic pretty well. I&

This is cool but I found the UX confusing at first. It was not intuitive to me at all I had to scroll to see more information.

Anecdotally, in my architecture class (granted a decade and a half ago) we had to implement a 4-bit microcontroller from scratch. Using an actual bread board, wires, and primitive chips. We implemented those instructions from scratch given

I had an "Assembly" course in my undergrad that taught x86, we managed in in semester. But it was a separate class from Architecture (and had Architecture I as a pre-requisite). Granted it didn't get into the hyper-optimized

I know in theory that is how it should work but is there a study to back that up? The thing is, in my estimation, in most places the demand is so high that whatever makes the builders the most is what will get made. Which isn't necessa

Yes, absolutely. I did mention zoning in my message, which definitely plays a big role. Not just property tax related but also a lot of existing property don't want high density housing in their back yard.

I hear this all the time but it doesn't make much sense, IMO. Buyers do not control the square footage of inventory and for the most part are not looking for a huge house. "The house I just bought is 4k square feet because I deman

As a technologist the most interesting part to me is they bring up "Device based age verification" and I am very curious what the current state of that is. Some initial research shows that it is only at the exploratory stage (acco

Regardless of if you feel they are worthless, IMO, the people who create them should not be asked to work for free. I've never found the notes from mine to be "worthless", you may want to find a new doctor. Also, your TFA is
