@zarazhangrui Agree mostly, but having a team that cannot keep up or isn't as excited about what you're building can sometimes be a net negative. Lot of indie developers thrive alone probably because of this.

@jahirsheikh8 We don't require people who use computers to know how computers are built. Then why does it matter here? I know it's not exactly same comparison, but this disconnect is true and normal in many fields.

@gunnarmorling This is exactly how I feel. Getting more things done but also spending more time working. Incredible amount of stress as a result. Kinda feels borderline toxic while being exciting that you can build stuff you could never before and that dopamine keeps you working.

@naval It's already here.

@ben_sage Why did you open this position to begin with?

[Simple Math Investing @simplemathbiz]

@TheBrilliantBu1 Really depends on location. In California you won't save a dime at this salary in bay area or similar.

[Simple Math Investing @simplemathbiz]

@leevalueroach Probably because of inflation?

[Simple Math Investing @simplemathbiz]

@MikeLongTerm Seems vibe coded website tbh. Feels they could design it better for such a big company.

[Simple Math Investing @simplemathbiz]

@the_codewala The coding part yes. Not the judgement part. That I still feel you can do better. It may take a bit of practice to get your judgement to improve though.

This aged well. Glad I invested a small chunk in $DUOL at the time.

[Simple Math Investing @simplemathbiz]

I read too many X posts about $DUOL but didn't dip my feet in it due to lofty valuation. After a massive selloff though, it does look attractive on paper. Thoughts from anyone on here, as to what might be a reason not to invest, besides AI threat that is?

[Simple Math Investing @simplemathbiz]

Is $BYDDF really dead in the water? Have a position that round tripped to a large gain and basically back to cost basis now after few years of holding. The company itself is alright, the domestic competition is fierce in China though. Thoughts?

@ben_sage I saw a video somewhere of people being paid to attach a camera to their forehead and do household chores, to train robots using video data.

@matthias_mrc Not really cooked, but I guess no more software building for me then. My usual job is still fine, not absolutely necessary for it.

Am I crazy to double down on $GRAB added a bit more at 3.4 and it fell again? Tempted to keep adding on the way down

I asked this to Claude yesterday. It's insanely massive codebase. Coding itself is not a problem, it said it's mostly the different algorithms that make it addictive and relevant that may take time and iterations. And also of course it would cost millions in token spend so can't be a hobby project but a small startup could certainly do it.

@sattyyouneed Knowing what people really want and care about. Focus and restraint. Nobody is looking to learn a complicated product workflow just cause AI can build it.

[Simple Math Investing @simplemathbiz]

@HeyAliux Taste. Things that are more emotion than logic. AI can think about emotion but can't really feel it, hence fundamentally cannot be better than humans at judgement. Music, cooking, entertainment for example.

[Simple Math Investing @simplemathbiz]

@ZacksJerryRig Valuation aside, the technology and cost per mile they can achieve is impressive no?

[Simple Math Investing @simplemathbiz]

@p_millerd A 20% permanent job loss is quite meaningful. Without a job these folks will no longer have the spending power that drives other industries tailored to them causing a domino effect that doesn't stay in these industries alone.

@jackfriks @Bell Didn't really have any upsell calls from Rogers. Been using them for more than a year now.
