Most problems aren’t worth solving
Figuring out which ones are and sharing the journey

AI will not transform accounting by adding another chatbot.

It will transform accounting by removing the manual work between a document and the ERP:

collecting invoices, extracting data, checking exceptions, and preparing entries.

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

@dara_venture That’s a good take. Do you think bad feedback is better than no feedback?

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

@nickod26 @craigweiss This is an interesting theory, but is not clear if local models will be a thing.
Most of the cost is in the training anyway, once the marginal performance of new model gets to zero labs will only have infra costs. That means cheaper tokens or more tokens for the same price.

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

@nickod26 @craigweiss Won't last long based on what? Demand for tokens is sky high and OpenAI and Anthropic have the entire market

@shifkey @craigweiss People said the same thing about Amazon, Facebook, Google, and many other companies.

You should read blitzscaling to understand why profits don't matter at this stage

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

@Tim_Denning Wow, never thought about that

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

@BijouConcierge Talk to users before building the landing page.

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

@sierracatalina Finally someone saying it. I hope to see the day when this is the mainstream opinion.

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

@rihntv even better if it's good hard work.

I feel like you can always find work to do even tho it's not productive, that doesnt' mean you'll get lucky

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

@kzitouni1 and that's a good thing

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

@psomkarbuilds I feel like this is still an unpopular opinion even tho anyone who tried codex, claude code, or cursor knows it's true

[Giovanni Casonato @gcasonato__]

Failure always feels worse when it happens at the exact moment someone is watching.

I was making a change on the fly for a user in production. Railway build failed.

Nothing exposes the gap between “this should work” and reality faster than a live user waiting.

@Sherifdeenolat2 @yashhq_22 Do you spray and pray or try more tailored messages?
