I want to get to know all you #BuildInPublic peeps
What problem do you solve?
Who do you solve it for?
What is the investment required to adopt (time and/or money or ???)
What is the ROI on that investment?
Reply (with links if you have them)

If you want to ask for feedback, first make sure you’re ready to accept feedback without taking it personally. I’m not saying this to be mean. It’s so valuable to have new eyes looking over your project. Sometimes we miss things ourselves. Also, you’ll be introduced to new approaches. Be cool.

I watched something the other day that claimed: the only relationship in nature where something less powerful / capable successfully exerts control over something more so is that of the human child
So when #AI takes over at least we’ve got the playbook on how we might be able to control it 😳

"vibe coding" really is the worst development in software of all time. "woah what if you could just tell the computer what to do and then it did that" that's called writing code. code is the language that tells the computer what to do.

The dark side of cloud computing is when they keep changing the rules (infrastructure)
The changes are either:
Meh
Or
OMFG we’re all going to die
Doesn’t seem to be much middle ground

I think it’s kinda important to note that ALL output from LLMs is hallucination
Some of it is interesting
Some of it is actually useful — especially if you already know a good chunk of the topic
We are still very much in the buyer beware stage of it’s evolution however
