• Delicious meta thought from this morning: The table pounding from the AI-skeptical software engineers, shouting "they can't build proper, scalable, performant programs!", sounds especially thin when you consider that right now nearly everyone is looking for where this is going and no one knows yet. Building something "proper" and "scalable" and "performant" before you have PMF is a tricky thing to pull off (there's exceptions, of course, where PMF comes from being one of the three) and now it seems like most companies are looking for PMF every 3 months.
