I have mixed feelings about AI.

It’s a bit like tailored clothes vs machine-made ones both work, but the vibe is different. Using Claude isn’t wrong at all, but when 50k+ lines are written that way, it becomes hard for a human brain to truly digest it at that pace.

Allow multiple chat window, I will migrate from cursor. I understand it could be complicated when two agent write but at least ready only mode helps so while one tab is doing work you can brainstorm and plan for next thing.

Models suddenly getting good enough to write most of my code - which I am now prompting - creates complicated feelings.

It took a long time to get good at coding. And it's not easy. Plus, there was something special about being in "the zone."

Actual numbers on what it took a seed-stage startup to hire their first two founding backend engineers (full-remote)

It's good to know as a candidate: this is the type of competition you might have. And as a founder: this is how much time investment it can take to make a hire
