Thank you for looking at my latest project. I’ve been in a lot of interviews and I’ve conducted hundreds of them as the interviewer. I started doing some coaching for some friends and I realized that GPT was capable of spotting most of the things I was noticing. However the chat interface wasn’t great when you have to keep pasting in your code changes.

The biggest aha moment for me was watching a couple people get completely unstuck with a small hint provided by GPT so I made an entire project around it.

Hey! Yeah my email is in my profile. Feedback is super appreciated!

Wow if I didn’t use the app every day I’d stay totally clear of it after reading these quotes right from the beginning of the article. This really doesn’t represent my experience at all. Am I alone or has the experience actually improved? I don’t follow people who are toxic because I don’t enjoy their content. It’s mostly software engineers and the #buildinpublic community and it’s a beautiful place with them.

What has changed that has made the platform worse? It feels subjectively better in my experience.

> designed to steal market share from Twitter, which continues to struggle under the leadership of Elon Musk

> interested in a less angry place for conversations.”

> interested in having a platform that is sanely run.”

Thanks for that feedback! I will add a monthly option today.

yes! Part of prepping is to gain confidence and it can be very discouraging to run into this before live sessions.

https://www.pgrammer.com/ Coding interview practice questions like LeetCode but using GPT to analyze the code and provide hints when you get stuck. It will also look over your submission and give feedback like an interviewer.

I've conducted A LOT of interviews and have been the interviewee plenty of times. To me the hardest part about prepping on LeetCode was that I would sometimes get stuck on something. Not necessarily stuck to find any solution but the optimal one. The hints I'm getting back from GPT have proven to be very valuable and it still lets me code the solution with those pointers.

It's not a perfect product by any means but it's my work in progress passion project that I believe has a lot of potential.

Does anyone else think the logo looks more like an onion than a bun?

When I worked at Apple they would have never rolled something out internally that they have yet to release. Sometimes they invite you to test something in a very controlled environment but they would not just give access outside of the controlled setting. Probably in person testing. Surrender your phone etc…

10 years used to feel like a really long time to me. Now that I have two young kids the idea of missing out on 10 years of their life growing up is in the impossible to handle part of my brain. I feel bad for everyone effected and yes even her.

Some people like to jump into extremely difficult situations if they think they have enough power to fix them. These situations usually have amazing rewards if you succeed.

This is a great overview! I’ve been working on a project where I’ve tried a few of these and it’s definitely a space where this data is super valuable.

I really wanted to like Banana.dev but runpod consistently outperforms them for my use case. I love the innovation in this space.

Here is my wishlist:

1. Faster cold starts. If you’re building a consumer product that has a request and response using one of these services I’m seeing at least a 20 second delay before the server begins working.

2. Much cheaper GPUs. This is an unrealistic expectation right now because supply and demand have these services completely crowded with people happy to pay. I just wish I could afford to have a few of the faster GPUs prewarmed ready to go but that would be several thousand dollars a month. Doable eventually but for my bootstrapped side project that hasn’t found product market fit it’s a little rough.

3. Ability to create custom models from the service. I’m on an Intel Mac and so making a custom model requires me to ssh into a machine. If only there was a service that let me rent a high end GPU service by the second. /sarcasm. I wasn’t able to get access to docker or install it on runpod and support confirmed it isn’t something they support.

For custom model building I found the prices and flexibility to do whatever you need on lambdalabs.com to be best. Also their prices are blowing all of these other services away. However no serverless option. The space is so crowded with consumers I’m almost afraid to even mention them because I worry I won’t have GPUs available for me. I’m seeing this mentality a lot.

This made me laugh, however, it’s awesome hearing how he was in the same time period that the original post is about. Definitely relevant.

If the product still exists and is being iterated on I’d consider that an acquisition.

I’m a huge Apple fanboy, I even moved my family up to the Bay Area to work for them for a time. Hopefully you’re right but if Siri is any indicator for some reason Apple can’t seem to crack AI at the same level as OpenAI has proven to be able to.

I’m the summer I had a ton of brown widows and some black widows on my property. After reading up on it I wanted to let the brown widows hang around but honestly I started finding way too many everywhere. If you do have these, beware they reproduce in the summer at a very fast pace.

Once it got cold I haven seen any of them. I did have to take care of some I found on things my toddler frequents.

I believe stories like this but in my experience, at the companies I’ve worked for this was not the case. Apple, Snap, Airbnb and a couple lesser known companies: work life balance existed but I’ve always been extremely busy. Maybe it depends on the team you land on but if you want to work you can find it. I’ve never had anyone tell me to pretend, not ask questions or anything of the sort.

Just thought I’d add my 2¢. I’m sure others have had different experiences than me but I can’t be the only one working all the time, usually more than 8 hours a day unless I stop myself.

How does this compare to IPFS? I was playing around with IPFS and it seems like a lower risk higher node version of this. Performance wasn’t half bad either. I guess it depends on which node you end up downloading from and whether there was a nearby cache hit. P

This whole debate seems so absurd. Some people want to go back and some people don’t. Why not accommodate both groups? Why is it the return to office group feels the need to impose their preference on the other. The WFH group seems fine to let the in office group go in if they want… We’ve already proved that both approaches can work.

The article says it was too sustainable but we have to wait for the next part to find out why. Cliffhanger ending! Very interested in why this couldn’t be sustained.

In my opinion the best thing they offer is little to no wait time even for same day appointments. Beats urgent care experience by a massive amount.

Before at home Covid tests were available this was the most convenient way to get a test without waiting in line

Yeah, but I don't think people finding co-founders on a co-founder matching website generally plan on a _dating_ period. My opinion… yours is valid too but feels like a marriage app more than a dating app to me.

Mostly defaults for me. Music and fitness tracker.

Closest is when I’m trying to do a workout circuit and I don’t have my phone I use Seconds. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/seconds-pro-interval-timer/id3...

However I prefer to use Seconds on the phone so I can see the timer without looking at my wrist.

The idea of co-founder matching feels like a dating app for rushing into marriage. It is definitely possible it can work out but it seems like a long shot. If I were going to start a startup today, I'd want to do as much as I could to validate the idea and use that data to persuade some people whom I've had great working relationships with. Whether that's in school or the workplace etc… If you are unable to do that, you're going to have a really hard time recruiting good talent. You also want to know what it's like to have a disagreement with the person you're going to be in kind of a marriage with. Don't have your first fight after marriage.

I don’t think this was originally an open source project. If I remember people were pretty excited when Google hired the author of fastlane because it meant there would be more resources to support Android too. I want to say it started as an iOS project.

Maybe it’s had enough of a push they don’t need a fully funded team at this point. It was already great before Google had any ownership.

I’m not familiar with open sourced code under MIT that is still protected by a patent. Can you share some examples of this?

I mentioned this in one of the other threads but I’ll say it again here… I really hope this isn’t a distraction to get us looking up while a move is being made under the sea.

I sure hope this isn’t a distraction to get us to look up while something goes down under the sea.

I read it as a side note to the reader that this information has not been confirmed by the company yet so it could be false. However they did ask them but did not get an answer. Also that it’s not unreasonable that they did not get an answer. Sounds to me like they are trying to be good journalists but at the same time they want to break the story while it’s hot. So you get a story with a disclaimer that doesn’t put the blame on the company.

Isn’t telegram free? If you’re interested why not just sign up? This isn’t a good first impression when you’re trying to get hired.
