Interesting. I once talked to an investor (not YC) and they asked me what I would do if the product failed. I said one thing I can do is pivot. And they literally responded with "we don't invest in founders who think about pivoting"
YC also needs to pivot it's marketing to compete with a16z Speedrun and PeakXV Surge
Maybe. A write up about the new design would be cool I think
YC has always been founder first.
Internally yes there is a "founder community". But publicly I would argue it was product-first.
If you want to go down the terminology nerd rabbit hole, which I think is the correct thing to do, it's not even called Arabic language, it's called The Un-ambiguous Arabic Tongue (my translation of اللسان العربي المبين). Language (which comes from the word لغة) is a bad word, it means "idle chatter". Tongue is the correct term for someone who knows what they're talking about. Modern Arabic (even what is referred to as Classical Arabic) is a deviation from The Un-ambiguous Arabic Tongue. A lot of ignorant people think that the Quran is poetry when in fact it is in The Un-ambiguous Arabic Tongue, which again many people don't know (or intentionally hide!). The Arabs who spoke that tongue eloquently back then denounced poetry and poets (that's why when they wanted to curse at the prophets they called the prophets "crazy poets". Read the Quran for reference) To them poets are crazy, and the Quran was chosen by Allah to come down in that specific tongue, hence the Quran also denounces poetry.
It's still better than believing we were apes who didn't know how to speak then we invented languages all the way to Chinese. One of us has to be ignorant that's for sure.
I think companies hired too many Rust engineers, and now those engineers are writing technical blogs and making product decisions. We're seeing a lot of those everyday on HN first page
No worries I didn't take offenses. I just disagree. The title should've been we reduced bugs in the kernel and here is some proof of that. The 2018-2022-ish hype (I call it bullying campaign) is still strong. Google recently did a blog post about Rust speeding up their development, in the age of LLMs, seriously! I can't stop lol'ing at that
That's not the case. It's using Rust as a selling point. All the noise around using Rust is marketing. The fact that you think linux machines are enjoyed by only a specific group of people makes me happier with my choice
I never used linux because it was built using C++. Never have I cared what language the product was built it. The Rust community however wants you to use a product just because it's implemented in Rust, or atleast as one of the selling points. For that reason I decided to avoid any product that advertises using Rust as a selling point, as much as I can. Was planning to switch from Mac to a Linux machine, not anymore, I'm happily upgrading my mac.
My tell-tale sign that AI is moving the needle is the disappearance of the concept of leetcode. If you've done an interview lately you would know AI hasn't moved any needles yet
