@RohunJauhar What was your treatment like, if you don’t mind sharing?

When someone finds out I’m a founder, they’ll often say, 'when you’ve got time, I’d love to talk about this business idea I have'

I love the spirit but I can't help thinking 'the first idea doesn't matter, you just need to start. most ideas don’t make it, and the good ones show up later anyway.'

...but sadly i can't say that because it doesn't help them. what does help is listening and getting them excited enough about whatever idea they have to take the first step

@carlrivera Congrats Carl!!! I learned about design-driven product from you at Shop and it has guided my work ever since

Devs using Gemini - are you seeing really weird behaviour from Gemini models in production that the benchmarks don’t show?

We love Gemini but these issues are making it almost unusable for us

1. Frequent outputs that just don’t make sense (ie, infinite repeated characters)
2. Tool calling is broken (it says “I will call X tool” then just doesn’t do it)

[Omar S @0marsab]

We have a love-hate relationship with Gemini

[majd @TheMajd_]

I’ve seen this behaviour too many times. Google Gemini’s benchmarks don’t line up with its real world performance. Wrote a whole article about my experience here: https://t.co/eLHFraodwd
