we agree, i just think you are overestimating software complexity for most businesses

Run ai agents around the clock to do hyper targeted fishing

Much as I want to rip on vercel, its clear that ai is going to lead to mass security breaches. The attack surface is so large, and ai agents are working around the clock. This is a new normal. Open source software is going to change, companies wont be running random repos off github anymore

so like 90% of software?

Basic web development is completely over, and will be automated end to end, product, ux, design, and the code.

I have a complicated nextjs webapp, and I havent had to write front end code in six-nine months now.

The compute is expensive, what is with this outrage? People just want free tools forever?

you fundamentally dont understand economics

no they get paid the same

the weird thing is seeing american kids from a top 20 american school (duke, carnegie melon, etc) mixed with a much larger majority of h1bs from absolute no name schools. its almost like the bar for americans is higher

honestly i have no idea, in some cases, they are working weekends/are hyper focused on extremely boring, somewhat manual work. some of the systems are complicated and break constantly, so they are almost just oncall fodder for manually fixing a constantly breaking high scale service

Two big tech FAANG jobs, org is 95% h1b engineers from china/india. Tons of resumes from american grads somehow never hit my desk, continue to interview random candidates from india with some low quality USA masters from missisipi state. Candidate has spent the last year locked in a room memorizing algorithm interview questions

you couldnt be more wrong

human ingenuity will solve this

There's no limit to the algorithms. People dont understand yet. They can learn the whole universe with a big enough compute cluster. We built a generalizable learning machine

funny thing about this tweet is the founder still couldnt stop herself from name dropping MIT

Where did my standard of living go? Couldnt possibly have to do with imported labor working around the clock under the threat of being kicked out of the country

Basically YC + MIT background is a license to raise infinite capital. So they just needed to check some revenue boxes etc.

I'm willing to bet an intelligent LLM with a dataset and a pandas stats package could outperform this model by running its own experiments and making predictions

This isnt the problem, the problem is open source software became a status marker/way to build a company.

alot of software isnt that important so its fine, but some actually is important. especially with a branding name slapped on it that people will trust

Similar to delve, this guy has almost no work experience. You have to wonder if YC and the cult of extremely young founders is causing instability issues in society at large?

Wow this is in a lot of software

People underestimate how specific the genetic pools are that relate to high intelligence

there are only a certain amount of series A rounds per year

Just know that alot of startups with all star founders are closer to delve than not.

Its mostly marketing, "look at this MIT genius that noticed something about legacy xyz industry that no one else did"

Truth is venture funds are allocating a limited pie of what is really societies capital to people that dont deserve it

pizza gate was corroborated by the epstein emails. not all of it, but plenty

Wild to think Q anon could have been truth mixed with wild fiction to throw people off. Thats really only something I thought happened in movies, or novels. I'm willing to believe alot more than i ever thought I would

I used to look down on conspiracy theories, now I think many are actually true, or are mixed with truth. Its really unlikely that a theory circulates widely but has no basis in reality

The thing is, this management philosophy worked when AWS knew what they needed to build and just needed to execute with top notch operations.

But now with AI, they are getting disrupted. Most AWS services might become obsolete, why does an ai need these janky higher levels abstractions AWS piles on.

So now they need innovation, but the company isn’t set up for it. They are forcing short deadlines for product launches that don’t matter
