@levelsio@typesfast I know one guy who became a vegetable after he got hit by a car while he was cycling in Amsterdam, born and raised there he was cycling all his life. Before that I thought that its super safe but like with car accidents, feels very safe until someone gets really wrecked
@paulg@JarekSyg I remember at Growth Tribe lecturer saying that they typically make intentional grammar mistakes in company names in mass emails to make it look more authentic, and this was like 5 years ago
@paulg@JarekSyg Somehow if you ask AI to correct only grammar, it usually overcorrects and final text becomes to nice and well structured, its hard to resist the urge of using it so i started recently not even checking grammar with ai
@Jason@nikitabier I just had a breakfast there, too much fat and sugar in everything, very different from other japanese places in sense of taste, more like a fancy McDonaldโs than a japanese restaurant
Why video feed is soo bad here, if I watch one video and like on ig move to the next, each video is worse than the previous, after 4-5 videos simply unwatchable, super low res/porn/fake etc.

Why Brian still obsesses over recruiting:
"Sam Altman (@sama) told me you're going to spend 50% of your time on hiring. I never did. It was my death blow.
As a leader, you can choose if you want to spend time hiring or managing. The more time you spend on recruiting, the less time you get to spend on management.
The first and last call I make every day is the recruiting team, still. I probably spend two, three hours on it every day.
The 2000s, I didn't. I thought it was all about having a recruiting machine, managing people. The great thing is I don't manage as much anymore because the really good people are self managing.
People should think about their first employee being a recruiter, not an engineer. Because they are the ones that get you every other person.
A company is as good as its people. The difference between the good companies and the great companies are the people."

@dwlz@levelsio@marckohlbrugge Airbnb or Uber are bad examples here, personal apps will be most probably the ones LLM will spin up for you, for organizing your day, your workouts, increasing your efficiency in X. Apps that are not for connecting with rest of the world and ordering something but micro-apps
