At that size, share everything. But also share all realistic outcomes, including what failure cases might look like. It's more about earning trust than "pumping" anyone up.
Hi Hana & Josue - congrats on the launch! This looks like a wonderful product. As a developer I've built (admittedly terrible) versions of this, over and over... look forward to trying it!
This is a super interesting question to us, and to be honest we're not sure of the answer. Is it possible for a single ML snake to achieve 100% 1v1 win rate? What about 1v7?
What we've learned so far is that playing against multiple snakes, especially AI/ML driven snakes, adds an incredible amount of complexity to the game and the top ranked snakes tend switch around quite a bit as players adjust to attack/defend specific strategies.
If anyone has formal theory around this sort of problem, we'd love to investigate further.
Yes! I've been using Insomnia since it was a Chrome extension and the new 3.0 release is an amazing upgrade. I strongly agree with the developer that tools like Postman are quite bloated and complex for normal development tasks. Insomnia is very lightweight and refreshing!
It's really important that programs like Canadian SR&ED are being scrutinized in the context of startups, and on that theme I'm really happy to see this discussion.
I think it's more interesting to see how Canadian founders can shape these sorts of policies over the next 5-10 years, and this is a great starting point.
Yep absolutely. Maybe perfectly standardized packages aren't possible, but they should (I think?) be able to offer "pretty similar" packages to all employees.
