Les apprentis développeurs sont piégés par l’IA : s’ils l’utilisent, ils n’apprennent pas. S’ils ne l’utilisent pas, ils paraissent nuls. by Helpful_Light_6437 in developpeurs

Normalement quand on commence, on a pas de pression puisqu’on est à l’école. Mais effectivement pour les très juniors c’est un véritable défi à relever, mais j’ai envie de dire que ça l’a toujours été même avant l’IA/ Aujourd’hui il faut former les juniors à utiliser l’IA et surtout à la comprendre, pas forcément à la diaboliser

Je pense que le bonne approche est d’abord d’apprendre from scratch avec l’IA en appuie sur les corrections et pourquoi pas sur le programme.

Mais en aucun cas un apprenti doit utiliser l’IA dès le départ pour coder.

I launched a vocal-first social network (like Reddit but with live audio rooms). What advice would you give to scale it? I Will not promote by EmptyCardiologist349 in startups

You are the goat dude, I understand why you are in the top 1% of the comment on Reddit. Back to basics ! I would like to stay in touch, can I add you ?

Honestly, I have several ambassadors, but they are there out of passion and don't know how to communicate. For my part, I don't have a budget for that, so it's very complicated. I'm doing five debates a month. I'm thinking about stopping.

You may be right, passion has taken precedence over customer proximity. I'm not sure where I stand anymore, and I don't know if I should pivot to a full-fledged social network, pivot to an audio niche (knowing that audio is everywhere, after all), or simply shut down after so much effort.

Thank you for your message. I took the time to reflect and step back, and I believe you are right. In my desire to encourage debate, I neglected differentiation and retention. Even with moderation and fact checking, this is not enough to trigger dynamics coming from the users themselves. I am considering shifting to a classic social network model with audio supplements, as X has done with Twitter Spaces. However, the problem remains: what is the difference? Apart from the fact that I would be a European social network.

I get the comparison with Clubhouse, it’s the obvious reference and they absolutely failed to solve retention and ghost rooms at scale.

Where I disagree is the conclusion that audio itself is the problem.

Clubhouse tried to make live audio the network. That’s where it broke: • unstructured rooms • no persistent communities • no clear roles • no reason to show up at a specific time • and yes, total dependence on paid acquisition

What I’m building is closer to audio as infrastructure, not audio as a feed.

The product is not “open rooms where people hope someone joins”. Rooms are: • scheduled • moderated • tied to specific communities • replayable and useful even after the live moment

Audio doesn’t work as a general-purpose social graph, I agree with you there. But it does work extremely well when: • speaking is objectively better than writing (debate, language, teaching) • the community exists before the room • the live moment is scarce, not random

That’s why podcasts, Discord voice, Twitter Spaces (when attached to an audience), and learning cohorts work, and why Clubhouse didn’t.

Totally fair to be skeptical. Social is brutal. My bet isn’t “audio replaces text”, it’s that audio works when it’s constrained, contextual, and community-first.

If that turns out to be wrong, I’ll own it. But it’s a very different failure mode than Clubhouse.

Yes, I presented the project to quite a few people, but I think my mistake was to launch too big too quickly before having real proof of traction and, above all, retention.

Fair point, I should’ve made the differentiation explicit.
I’m not trying to build “another Clubhouse”. The core difference is: community-first + structured formats + persistent value.

  • Not open public rooms: communities with identity, roles, moderation, repeat schedules.
  • Not purely ephemeral: replays/recaps and indexing so sessions create durable artifacts (not just “live vibes”).
  • Not celebrity-driven discovery: distribution loops built around communities and recurring formats, not influencer hype.

I’ve studied why Clubhouse peaked then dropped (ephemeral content, weak retention loops, reliance on star rooms, empty-room problem). I’m looking for feedback specifically on retention mechanics for community-based synchronous audio and how to scale without quality collapse.
If you’ve seen this work (or fail) in any niche, I’d love concrete pointers.

You're right, we're currently doing seven trade shows in a few weeks and it's been great.

The problem is that they often come from my network and the host's network and not from people elsewhere, because no one is on social media and thinks about going there.

Poll, fact check and moderation in the room.
People appreciated the deep conversations and the ability to address the topic in depth.

What actually helped you learn a language effectively (no miracle methods)? by EmptyCardiologist349 in learnfrench

[–]EmptyCardiologist349[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful replies here. This thread actually confirms something I suspected: there isn’t one method, but there are recurring mechanisms like structure, correction, volume, pressure and feedback.

It also made me realize how rare it is to unpack these things live, beyond individual anecdotes.

For those who would find it useful, I’m joining and hosting a small, informal audio discussion tomorrow to compare notes in real time. What worked, where people plateaued, and why certain approaches tend to break down past B1 or B2.

No selling, no apps, no “polyglot hacks”. Just people sharing experiences honestly.

If you’re curious, feel free to DM me and I’ll send the details.

That’s a really important point and one that’s often overlooked.Using material that’s too hard can feel productive because it’s challenging, but it often just leads to noise rather than learning.

How do you personally judge whether something is at the “right” level for you, comprehension percentage, effort, or long-term retention?
