Wow, we technically only have one spot left for the pilot cohort of the Youth Tech China Trek!!
And thanks in part to friends like @GlennLuk helping spread the word, we’ve ended up with a strong group of American kids too (it's seriously difficult to get Americans to join the investor trips, you've heard me rant about this before). Anyway, I expect we’ll open additional weeks soon.
Also, one thing we will do very actively (that we should probably promote more as part of this program) is connect participants with Chinese middle and high school students and parents, STEM undergrads, PhDs, and early-career people in China. I’m intensely curious myself: what are the kids actually in the trenches studying, what are they spending their time on, what is the market rewarding, and how is everyone responding to / feeling about the shifting ground beneath all of our feet?!
Existing form software did not meet needs on our end (we have complex questions) - decided to build my own form software.
Got it working in 2 hours with Claude code with a full DB setup, auth, nice optimized UI, etc.
Makes me question a lot of existing SaaS purchases we make.
Used @deepseek_ai to find hot pot base in Oakland Chinatown today. It recommended a Korean grocery store that had it in stock.
Tried @ChatGPTapp and @perplexity_ai, and both led me to grocers that did not offer it.
