This is just the last target of NVKs mental issues, there is a long standing pattern of bad behaviour, misleading statements, outright lies and half truths that only serve to stroke his own ego (and promote CC)
Ignore and forget as that is the easiest way to deal with people like him.
I'm surprised noone mentioned https://www.founderspodcast.com/

I use it extensively for both coding and tshooting. I use copilot, chatgpt (also claude and gemini) and cursor, depending on the task.
I've even done consulting projects that were written 95% or more by AI. But you need to treat it as a junior developer or a code monkey. I (almost) always know what I want to accomplish and how to approach it, so AI just takes care of converting my description to the correct syntax which would take me significantly longer than AI.
As mentioned before in this thread it is pretty bad with using less known or newer libs.
Personally its a super power because it makes me a lot more productive - I've years of experience in systems architecture and engineering but most of it has been from a higher level, not actually writing the code for it. So having an LLM spit out the code is a force multiplier for me.
But as with all tools you need to figure out how to use it. Its easy to fall into the trap of spending more time arguing with the LLM instead of figuring it out yourself (similar than you'd spend more time trying to explain things to a junior developer instead of writing them yourself).
Its still not great for large codebases but ever expanding context windows will hopefully solve that soon.
Don't run an implementation that doesn't support full rdbms with existing tooling to scale it and that focuses on bringing tokens to lightning instead of fixing the issues that plague the network
I know there is one time payment but 3m sats is an insanity to spend on this, its an order of magnitude too big (at least at this stage). Maybe when SN is bigger than reddit, but even then doubtfully
I think 10k/month is the upper bound that one could remotely justify for it at this stage
haven't managed to read through the entire material yet but i find most of them severely lacking
take a look at a known recent example of how they doxed Beff Jezos in the name of public interest https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilybaker-white/2023/12/01/who-is-basedbeffjezos-the-leader-of-effective-accelerationism-eacc/
A voice analysis conducted by Catalin Grigoras, Director of the National Center for Media Forensics, compared audio recordings of Jezos and talks given by Verdon and found that it was 2,954,870 times more likely that the speaker in one recording of Jezos was Verdon than that it was any other person. Forbes is revealing his identity because we believe it to be in the public interest as Jezos’s influence grows.
good opsec is a lifestyle.
If you only want to shitpost anonymously on the internet its doable, but you still have stylometry to worry about if you also have a public identity https://serhack.me/articles/unveiling-anonymous-author-stylometry-techniques/
if you are doing more nefarious things where your threat model includes state actors then think twice before you embark on the journey because it goes far beyond what is covered there.
Architecture decisions have significant business impact - both in terms of complexity, headcount, cost and operational burden. Engineers mostly forget that they are solving business problems, not optimizing for their CV and that leads to tons of issues down the road.
plan for much longer runway than you think, raising on top of the bull market and then trying to do another round in the depths of the bear market is painful
startups dont go bankrupt - founders do
its easier to divorce a wife than a cofounder, pick wisely
every bitcoin bull run funds solutions for the problems of the previous one
investors are as cyclical as the markets
if your idea will take 3years to build then raise 3y worth of runway, don't plan to figure it out as you go
small team of talented individuals that work great together can outperform large institutions
bitcoiners are one of the toughest ppl to sell things to
freedom tech is rarely profitable, plan accordingly
most companies are not venture scale companies, small bootstrap businesses producing cashflow are severely underrated
the fact that you raised money doesn't mean your idea is good
everything will take MUCH longer than you think
