No. He is simply saying the current interview only focuses on LC above all else. And should focus on soft skills as well among other things. You took his argument and flipped it 180 and went to the other extreme end. It's false dichotomy.
This summer is going to be brutal for non-revenue generating startups (which is most of them). Assuming their last raise was last summer, they usually only have 18 months of runway before they run out of money. I don't think any of them can raise and even if they can, their valuation will take a significant hit.
I think the bubble is bursting with big tech employees that think they have tenure once they reach a certain level. Big tech isn't some anomaly where layoffs don't happen. It's just that their growth has been uninterrupted for a decade.
So this is a newsfeed? I think Hacker News has been doing a good job without AI. You simply need a community. I am not sure turning Facebook's news feed feature into a product is really that innovative. How many reputable news sources are there to supply their feed?
I think employees treat startups more and more like a jumping pad to get to their ultimate goal of work for Fang. There's no point staying at startups when working at a big tech will yield more money in the long term. I don't blame them though. Look at how startups are run nowadays, all the potential upside has been sucked dry by VCs.
I just checked the trade-in value for 16inch M1 Pro 10 core CPU 16 core GPU with 32GB on the Apple website. It's only worth $700USD. I would have thought they would pay more for a 1 year old laptop. I am not looking to upgrade, but am quite surprised by how low the trade-in value is.
The internet isn't young anymore. There are millions of people using Bing right now. There also wasn't any thought when people incorporated the like button in social media. Look how it turned out for its users. Search engines are a mature product with enough users. Microsoft isn't some startup and it has capital to do this.
Has there been any studies on how incorporating ChatGPT into a search engine will affect the search results and in turn millions of people that use it? I would like to read it.
Sounds like Microsoft is trying to leap frog ahead of Google, but I worry more about the consequences of ChatGPT. Not much thought has been put into whether incorporating it in Bing will be good or bad for users.
Not necessary. The google search function still works fine, its just the content becomes worst. If the content is generated from ChatGPT, I don't see how it will cut out the middle-person. I believe a more likely scenario is people appending site:reddit.com for all of their search. It will be domain specific.
ChatGPT will flood the internet with articles like how SEO was used to hack search. It might not replace search engine, but search results will becomes even more irrelevant.
High cost of living city. A million doesn’t go as far as it used to (inflation). Think about how much real estate has increased in the last 10 years. That’s the biggest expense for anyone.
Too many people have been burnt by this before. All the reward goes to the boss and not the employees. I used to work 70+ hours and I didn't even get a thank you. I will only work those hours nowadays if I am working for myself. If not, there is no chance I will do it. It's not nice to know you are being used for someone else's personal gain.
Very much this. I am too tired right now to engage with other responders, but thank you for articulating precisely the point I want to make.
