Bigger the vault, the more room there is to lock your enemies inside.

I don't disagree with you. Obviously a doctor can bring in a lot of money. In the same a stock can be valued as the sum all future cash flows w/ a discounted cash flow analysis, a doctor's future income can have a quite high valuation.

That being said, one accident or illness that strips away that doctor's ability to earn, leaving them in a soul crushing amount of debt that can't be discharged via bankruptcy. Their debt obligations are real.

I once got scolded for using vulgar language when I called saving a record "shoving it in the database."

I found a bug where our system would freeze after playing Tomb Raider 2 on a certain CPU/chipset combo. If I remember correctly, it turned out to be a unacceptable voltage drop somewhere in the south bridge.

I used to work as a QA Engineer @ Transmeta testing software om out CPUs to ensure x86 compatibility. My manager this operated like this. She would constantly look for old software to acquire. One of her favorite activities was dumpster diving outside of startups that had failed to pick up old copies of software on CDs and floppy disks. I remember testing a lot of Diablo 2, Tomb Raider of various versions, Star Wars Episode I Racer, and Risk (for Windows 3.0).

After having traveled the world, hearing "only $5" reminds me of how how far that goes in some places. Right now I have a friend in Nepal renting a 2 bedroom house for $58/month. I have another friend in Nepal that's earns less than $100/month, and is able to afford they're own place to live alone.

I hate to tell you this, but that bridge displayed makes me believe that any starship designed on your site will prone to rocks flying and terminals igniting whenever the shields take a pounding.

A couple years ago in Nepal, a large group of monkeys passed by a window next to my table at a restaurant. They were casually strolling on the power lines.

I'm doing all this myself, and it's my first time getting a consumer facing product from zero to revenue generating on my own. I wouldn't bother doing this without AI, the project is too big. That being said, doing it with AI comes with a learning curve & many things I've never done before.

How are you speeding up the provisioning? Most of my tests run pretty quick, but spinning up a new runner takes probably most of the time. I haven’t tried optimizing this yet.

Probably half the generated tests in my app are for markdown files.

That’s what I’m doing! Results yet to be measured.
