This was a great interview but Mitchell: https://youtu.be/WjckELpzLOU

He covers his LLM uses too! Highly recommend, and Mitchell thoughts on open source inspired me to start contributing to projects outside of my common experience.

Also, tax incentives on new EVs push the used market lower, creating a false sense of depreciation.

I expect the market to reconcile the difference now that EVs subsidizes are ending.

Another possible alternative is that the consumer has to be educated that buying used EVs is not like buying a used cellphone, and that EV batteries do last 10+ years.

The second hand market is so good for Thinkpads because there were so many of them bought by businesses.

Framework isn't the top choice for business.

If you work on an older and large rails code base, you can easily find the programmers who came from more "formal" languages like java.

They build layers and layers of code to "isolate" rails and end up with big ball of mud. Once you do that you have to keep wrapping and adapting, and commanding, and querying and it takes a gang of more than 4 developers to maintain a feature set that could be done with 1 good rails dev.

Code is liability. Features are the asset. Well written rails has one of the best bang for the buck for lines of code per feature.

I think there is a market. I pay for mealime monthly, I don't even know how much it costs. The cost of an app to help the family choose a dinner menu instead of eating out is worth it. Not only for money savings, but for health as well.

One of the best features is to streamline the online ordering from the app.

It works very well.

If Robots/Ai allow us to extract more value per hour worked, it will unlock more work that wasn't worth doing before.

Paradoxically, efficiency generates more available work, not less.

The amount of work to be done is not finite.

I'd risk say the dating market is even more broken *because* of tinder.
