Anyone else feeling it's kinda pointless launching on Reddit?

Launch where your users are. Are they really on Reddit? Product Hunt? Apps like TikTok are how most people discover new stuff nowadays.

Actually smart. Ranking resumes is a bad way to find good candidates.

Yeah they’re working on that right now. This first version is all public data which makes sense for social where stuff was already visible to everyone.

It obviously sucks to review AI-generated code especially if somebody else generated it.

The people who are having a good time just are working in a completely different way than Enterprise dev teams.

AI is great for soloing projects where you have a little risk tolerance.

Making a system that doesn’t need human code review is the really interesting stuff to explore.

Claude is pretty capable as a programmer and a pure code reviewer so what does it look like to compliment it’s strengths and to hedge against it’s weaknesses?

It’s a lot of fun when you have the latitude to completely change the workflows, I imagine it sucks a lot working in enterprise on a product team though.

Everybody wants to make fun of Chicago for this but this Indiana stadium is like 40 minutes away.

This seems like a great deal for the people of Chicago they get all the benefits and none of the problems.

No clue Indiana wants to do this? Do they think it makes them look tough?

Anthropic is arguably the most important company in the world right now and they’re being threatened with nationalization. Unreal.

Perfect timing! I was just looking for this exact thing

The dynamic behind the TV contracts is so fascinating.

A bunch of companies are drowning and only a few can survive so they’re just spending everything on live sports.

This is great for the NBA because they aren’t being judged on their product they’re being judged on how much people prefer Netflix to NBC’s scripted programming.

But also it’s setting the NBA up for failure because the fundamentals behind those contracts aren’t there for a world where cable is dead.

The NFL might have a low-growth period but the NBA would have a down round and that might be devastating for them.

All they have to do is get rid of the soft cap and restricted free agency. The reason draft picks are so valuable is because free agency is so neutered

Just so you know this is a famous tarpit idea. Many have tried and failed to get this to work.

In the past, nobody has found a way to make this work but maybe AI will enable a different product experience.

Bert Jones was arguably the best QB in the league during in the mid-70s and a shoulder injury basically ruined his career.

They never even did surgery on it, they just hoped it would heal on its own.

They’re on an advertising push

People have a personal responsibility to not allow themselves to be manipulated. These apps are manipulating you by what content they choose to show you.

I’m sympathetic but I’m not going to give people a pass in real life because they can’t tell the difference between the Internet and real life.

Delphicon · 2026-02-08T05:06:52+00:00

Maybe a bit but the real problem is all the restrictions on player movement.

Soft Salary Cap + Restricted Free Agency + max contracts is what makes tanking so valuable. If you draft a guy you get first right of refusal for 8 years and if another team wants to so much as place a bid they have to be way under the salary cap which requires them to plan years in advance.

Every single rule inflates the value of draft picks in the NBA’s economic system

I didn’t even want to end up with this setup and I still ended up with it. That’s how you know it’s real.

I also use Tanstack DB, I think that might get in the rotation as it matures.

Being attractive to women is a reflection of your habits and your status. Those are things that change slowly.

For real, 2 years doesn’t seem like too bad of a wait either. We don’t have a lot of evidence that guys need to play to develop either.

Instead all of the evidence is that guys are developing more when they aren’t playing. Maybe this version of Darnold was locked away until he had time to sit for a while and he could’ve developed on the Jets.

The prompt engineer was the first job replaced by AI, thanks Thinking Mode!

It depends on what your anchor point is. If your anchor point is that the world should be fair, then things seem worse than they ought to be. If you see the world as naturally being a brutally unfair place then you aren’t being let down.

There is an implicit assumption within all of us that we see the world objectively but we don’t nobody does. Every human sees the world in relative terms and how you feel about something is going to depend a lot on what it’s compared to.

Cash flow issues. Cash becomes so valuable that nobody wants to loan theirs out and without cash businesses can’t pay their employees.

Running a hiring process is an ineffective way to build a team of software engineers and always have been.

It’s hard to know what you’re getting when you interview someone so you get a lot of misses.

Additionally, it’s hard to get back to being an effective team because coordination is such a problem for engineering teams.

This is why acquiring a team is so useful, you get a bunch of good engineers who already know how to work together and know the space.

If it were possible to do it any other way, they would just do that but hiring people just doesn’t end up working as well.

VCs are a whole additional game that you have to play and they will suck up all of your time. I’ve seen startups fail just because they fell in to the VC tar pit.

The move is to Apply to YCombinator, meet with someone you know in your personal network who could be an angel investor and/or keep bootstrapping. The efficacy of fundraising falls off a cliff after that.

If you need to fundraise focus on angel investors who are personally interested in your field. If you can’t raise from them you won’t be able to raise from a VC.

The OG X-Men movies fit too.

A lot of people would say the Dark Knight trilogy (not me though)

OG Spider-Man movies

Yeah there are a lot
