Airbnb is the largest hospitality company, doesn’t own a single property. Uber is the largest transportation company, doesn’t own a single vehicle or employ a single driver. Net0 will be the largest energy provider without owning a single asset or employing a single installer.

electrification is often misframed as a CAC problem or hardware problem.. at its core it’s a coordination problem

“We’re building the invisible workflow glue behind the second wave of electrification.” — @mxkazakov, cofounder & CTO of @Coperniq_AI

...performance on larger codebases with ton of legacy code is mixed at best. but there's hope.

Tried cursor for some internal projects 🧵

[Max Kazakov @mxkazakov]

...
- and postfix every prompt with “update `https://t.co/Hf9aMgBLXo`)
- and literally commit everything
- and use git religiously
it’s actually not bad at all

[Max Kazakov @mxkazakov]

...like a CS admin portal and as long as you keep prompting it and meta-prompting..
- set up cursor to prefix every prompt with “use SOLID, check yourself, blah blah”...

@jasonlk what'd you think of W23 demo day @jasonlk?

[Max Kazakov @mxkazakov]

@KURUKURUInc Very impressive. Go team @KURUKURUInc!

[Max Kazakov @mxkazakov]

LFG! 🌎☀️

As you may know, I’m building https://t.co/gzqmjVYZh4 together with @mxkazakov. It's workflow software for solar companies, which cuts cost per installation by $3K & accelerates projects by 45 days.

Recently we got into #ycombinator W23 batch. Thank you @gustaf & @dflieb for backing our vision!

3 things I learnt this week

[David Singleton @dps]

At Stripe we care about being meticulous in our craft. Sometimes that means putting effort into getting the small things right. Little details compound into end to end experiences that are surprisingly great.

We shipped 100s of tiny tweaks last year. Some of my favorites 🧵

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created by Hokusai in 1831, is one of the world's most famous paintings.

But why are there more than 100 different versions of it in galleries all around the world?

Because it isn't actually a painting...

@AbdullahZandani @Cobratate I think it makes sense, I.e., it’s logically valid. Whether it’s *sound* is another question 🧐

After nearly 25 years, I’m publishing the Distributed Computing Manifesto in its entirety, an internal document from the early days of Amazon that transformed the architecture of our e-commerce platform. https://t.co/IKR5su3i1M

@Jason @AnkerOfficial Close PornHub tabs, too, if sharing your screen? Asking for a friend...

@growing_daniel @growing_daniel, bar for remoteness is much higher for engineers than non-engineers. Do you agree?
