  The insistence that any education innovation must serve everybody at once and for free is the poison that stops education innovating at all.

  Their words

  in education there's a concept that I think is really poison and why we have trouble innovating in education which is there's a view that you must serve everybody all at once for free like just anything you do in education no matter who it's for they're like I'm going to come up with a counter example where it doesn't work for everybody all at once for free and that's not how products are developed

  Sniping at people who are trying to build things is morally bankrupt and it damages the person doing it, however good the likes feel.

  Their words

  It is very easy to go take shots on Twitter and make a sarcastic comment and get a lot of likes and feel like you're doing something really important and sticking it to the man and being like, "Gary, haha, I got you, you idiot." Um, and and it will poison your soul. It is a morally bankrupt thing to do.

  Bootstrapped founders should keep another source of income to sustain themselves while grinding on a long, hard venture.

  Examples in documentation should be compiled and run as tests, so that changing the code breaks the docs instead of quietly outdating them.

  documentation

  Their words

  Now the thing is you can of course write examples in your documentation and Rust makes all examples into tests. This means that if you change the underlying code now your test fails. And so this means that you can't even you can't forget to update your examples in your documentation.

  A robot working alongside a person beats either one alone, and that pairing is also what makes the technology possible to bootstrap.

  Their words

  And I think we'll see the same thing with automation where uh basically robot plus human is much better than just human or just robot. Uh and and that just like makes total sense. It also makes it much easier to get all the technology bootstrapped because when it's robot plus human, now there's a lot more potential for the robot to like actually learn on the job, acquire new skills.

  OpenAI's claim that DeepSeek trained on its outputs is narrative management: other startups bootstrapped exactly that way and were never banned for it.

  OpenAIstartups

  Their words

  I think that they're trying to shift the narrative. They're trying to protect themselves. We saw this years ago when ByteDance was actually banned from some OpenAI APIs for training on outputs. There's other AI startups that most people, if you're in the AI culture, were like they just told us they trained on OpenAI outputs and they never got banned.
