@sm Wait until you try the arm and hammer saline spray.

@sampullara @rpoo Unfortunately my Dvorak phase started in high school so I’ve never coded in qwerty. Only ever typed in qwerty for 2 years of my life so it’s a shocker I can touch type in it at all. GREs were rough.

@reneeshah123 Are you finding that most of these companies are doing this in-house and building their own systems? Or are they using an enterprise search product like glean? Or something more custom for this operational use case?

[Tina Huang @kmonkeyjam]

Maybe the last week has been a massive ploy to reduce load on ChatGPT for a bit so that their engineering team could catch back up and re-enable new signups.

I wrote a little about our experience @transposit here: https://t.co/0le9liw7vC

I was talking to someone about their model-agnostic #GenAI stack, which struck me as unwieldy in keeping up with the pace of development in #LLMs. Here’s a hot take: there’s no risk of vendor lock-in with AI, because your current AI stack will be obsolete before it matters.

ChatGPT is an amazing power tool that can supercharge workflows, but you still need the rest of the plumbing. If you're curious how, check out our new blog post. https://t.co/5FCxzY6mQE

I genuinely thought in my lifetime I was lucky enough to be around for the rise of web apps and the internet and that I’d be aged out of the next big thing. Pretty exhilarating to be proven wrong.

@m_franceschetti @eightsleep @pardesoteric Looks amazing. Would love if your pods had better failure modes when you lose wifi. Literally the first thing that crosses my mind when my internet goes down is that I will not be able to sleep well at night.

@sm @sippey @thesandmpod And only women founders and CEOs believe in building companies that are about more than themselves. Excited for the new podcast!

[Tina Huang @kmonkeyjam]

Thanks @alexwilliams for the great conversation and giving me the opportunity to share my story and our approach towards engineering and technology @transposit.

@stuffyokodraws @esbie @esbie do you eat tiny oranges one slice at a time? Or do you eat them whole so that you feel like a giant?

[Tina Huang @kmonkeyjam]

@stuffyokodraws @esbie It's a guilty pleasure that I occasionally go to Whole Foods and purchase sumo oranges. And now the guilt has just been amplified.

[Tina Huang @kmonkeyjam]

@kmx @joshelman @mattknox Yeah, I remember working on group messaging back in the SMS days at Twitter. We had a whole list of bird names that we auto-assigned for groups.

[Tina Huang @kmonkeyjam]

@tnight @AliceWaters Donated! Thanks for sharing.

@Mark_Goldberg_ In case it helps my cause, not only am I a founder who surfs, but even our mascot surfs! https://t.co/6xnDAWxG36

[Tina Huang @kmonkeyjam]

Lots of late night negotiations between me and my non-surfing teammates who wanted an identifiable surfboard. Iggy now has a whole quiver, but I feel good that a fish fits his playful nature. Thanks to @transposit and our smart runbooks, he can be #oncall at the beach. #beachops

[Tina Huang @kmonkeyjam]

@Mark_Goldberg_ I've been once and probably embarrassed myself, but would love to go again to try at redemption!

[Tina Huang @kmonkeyjam]

@laserlikemike As an engineering leader, I've learned not to just appreciate but to also enjoy enterprise sales. Relatable challenges of creative problem solving, but with a different tool set and a human angle.

[Tina Huang @kmonkeyjam]

I've had a similar experience recruiting here. Many of the answers have been centered around lack of diversity. However, even as a startup that has a 50% female BOD and led by a female CEO and female CTO, we still struggle here.

[✨ Jean Yang ✨ @jeanqasaur]

As I've been recruiting for my startup, I've found that the women, on balance, are more hesitant to join an early-stage startup than the men are.

I'm curious to hear from women: what's your reason for preferring bigger companies, if you've made that choice?
