I was asked what are some no equity startup accelerators or programs that help founders go from 0 to 1, here are my top picks:

@ycombinator startup school
@launchhouse residency
@beondeck founder fellowship
@mercury raise seed
@Google startup accelerators

What are yours?

an interesting update: the team is starting to move away from AI coding completely (devin/claude/etc) because it's so much harder to review the AI code than writing things themselves

[Iris Liu @irieliu]

claude is down

Imagine riding a cab to your next pitch meeting and that cab ride also turned into a pitch meeting

[Dhravya Shah @DhravyaShah]

only in SF:

my cab driver was a retired guy who used to run an aviation company (acquired), now arranges private jets for millionaires

has a $160M fund, drives around a cab to scout people early.

showed me his linkedin and bro has the most insane profile ever.

WTF?

Google has released the AI function in Sheets.

You can now use AI in your spreadsheets to generate text, analyze sentiment, or summarize and categorize information.

Here’s how:

@obatried @SeifBassam Yes web app!

[Iris Liu @irieliu]

@obatried @SeifBassam I use them for UI ideas/testing only and always end up refactoring the folder structure for production

@dvassallo Clearly it's post promotion depression, don't bother seeing a therapist, just go sit a meeting and he'll be fine.

I'm teaching a new course! AI Python for Beginners is a series of four short courses that teach anyone to code, regardless of current technical skill. We are offering these courses free for a limited time.

Generative AI is transforming coding. This course teaches coding in a way that’s aligned with where the field is going, rather than where it has been:

(1) AI as a Coding Companion. Experienced coders are using AI to help write snippets of code, debug code, and the like. We embrace this approach and describe best-practices for coding with a chatbot. Throughout the course, you'll have access to an AI chatbot that will be your own coding companion that can assist you every step of the way as you code.

(2) Learning by Building AI Applications. You'll write code that interacts with large language models to quickly create fun applications to customize poems, write recipes, and manage a to-do list. This hands-on approach helps you see how writing code that calls on powerful AI models will make you more effective in your work and personal projects.

With this approach, beginning programmers can learn to do useful things with code far faster than they could have even a year ago.

Knowing a little bit of coding is increasingly helping people in job roles other than software engineers. For example, I've seen a marketing professional write code to download web pages and use generative AI to derive insights; a reporter write code to flag important stories; and an investor automate the initial drafts of contracts.

With this course you’ll be equipped to automate repetitive tasks, analyze data more efficiently, and leverage AI to enhance your productivity.

If you are already an experienced developer, please help me spread the word and encourage your non-developer friends to learn a little bit of coding.

I hope you'll check out the first two short courses here! https://t.co/lTupltSZkT

Confirmed! See you at @_buildspace irl
