Most Venture Capital Firms are absolutely cooked. This chart is so damning for the industry. To make it clear: the 2021 VC investments are VASTLY underperforming previous years at 36 months post inception. Same with 2022. VCs lived in my dms saying 'The 2021 vintage just

Finally watched Evan Czapliski's 2023 talk "The Economics of Programming Languages" and I have ~opinions~. The talk enumerates various problematic funding models for PLs (consulting, hosting, direct licenses, donations, adjacent product), and he concludes that he feels stuck and.

Breakthrough insight about vibecoding:.Haskell programmers believe in the concept of a function being "done". Meaning for some reasonable type signature there is only one reasonable definition, and maybe even the compiler can infer it at that point. Pilquist, in that talk i.

this is very bad for Quality investors (you and me), memestocks are coming back.
This is wild:. We now have a President who is actively calling for interest rates to be cut to as low as 1%. And, he is actively stating that he will be replacing Fed Chair Powell with someone who will immediately cut rates. Meanwhile, stocks are at all time highs, real estate.

I am seeing evidence that AI is significantly more effective, like 100x faster and maybe even fewer bugs, at coding tightly specified tasks (e.g. parsing a documented structure) than an american junior developer. BUT. American juniors basically don't know how to code, the purpose.
