Much like the restaurant industry, creative industries will probably bifurcate. Cheap (AI, drivethrough, takeout) for daily and most use cases, experiential (vinyl records, concerts, upscale restaurants) for special occasions, connoisseurs.

Hey I run a little recruiting startup, and we have a few roles at fintech companies in NYC--wanna send me your LinkedIn + resume?

Yeah based on my in-laws, Chilean seems understandable, though they tend to speak fast.

Argentine Spanish is the strange one, due to the heavy Italian influence.

I can offer one data point. This is from purely startup-based experience (seed to Series A).

A while ago I moved from microservices to monolith because they were too complicated and had a lot of duplicated code. Without microservices there's less need for a message queue.

For async stuff, I used RabbitMQ for one project, but it just felt...old and over-architected? And a lot of the tooling around it (celery) just wasn't as good as the modern stuff built around redis (bullmq).

For multi-step, DAG-style processes, I prefer to KISS and just do that all in a single, large job if I can, or break it into a small number of jobs.

If I REALLY needed a DAG thing, there are tools out there that are specifically built for that (Airflow). But I hear they're difficult to debug issues in, so would avoid at most costs.

I have run into scaling issues with redis, because their multi-node architectures are just ridiculously over-complicated, and so I stick with single-node. But sharding by hand is fine for me, and works well.

What are your gripes with GCP? I've been using it for every project for a while, and am super happy with it, especially GKE.

You don't see yourself hiring help for:

* Keeping things up and running

* Building the systems that the AI interfaces with

* Supporting any large contracts

?

In my experience, one enterprise contract with specific requirements basically requires you to hire a dev to support them.

My counterpoint: if your product is simply a ChatGPT wrapper, you have no moat. Whatever is complicated enough and is actually making money, and you feel the need to test it and make sure it keeps running, that's your moat, and that's what you're going to want to hire human help for once you actually make some money.

Message queues are difficult to maintain.

Webhooks is the best solution IMO.

There's value, but it's too expensive, too slow, and too unreliable right now to be feasible from a business perspective.

Chain of thought takes time to generate all the characters. If you do a chain-of-thought for every action and every misstep (and you need to for quality + reliability), it adds up.

While X's main use case works, I just tried to run some ads there.

When trying to upgrade to verified org: "An unexpected error occurred"

When trying to change my display name: "An unexpected error occurred"

When trying to run an ad: "Awaiting verification" for a week

Contacting support through messages: No response

Finally finding a way to submit a ticket: 3 day response time with a standard response that didn't resolve the issue.

Responded to that ticket and haven't gotten a response in days.

I don't think they're operating at the same level as they used to :)

How does 0% interest rate actually affect this though? Are that many companies actually funded on debt now? Or are are sales down because their customers were purchasing with debt?
