Maybe this “how to use ai” isn’t written for you, but for the agents who then have many ideas on what to do.
Code generation is cheap in the same way talk is cheap.
Every human can string words together, but there's a world of difference between words that raise $100M and words that get you slapped in the face.
The raw material was always cheap. The skill is turning it into something useful. Agentic engineering is just the latest version of that. The new skill is mastering the craft of directing cheap inputs toward valuable outcomes.
This is actually really awesome
To see. Opened my eyes a bit. Ignore the haters.
I never quite understand these articles though. It's not about Humans vs. AI.
It's about Humans vs. Humans+AI
and 4/5, Humans+AI > Humans.
Yeah. Medium seems too easy. But I also can’t select hard mode.
I believe Low code / No code platforms evolve to use LLMs to actually still abstract out all the code bits but become even way more powerful. It’s cool to use cursor with sonnet but it’s still requires a level of being comfortable with writing code, local builds etc.
No code platforms can easily abstract this out one more level. The constrained outputs of these platforms are still sufficiently high enough to build lots of varied use cases.
Heh - Perhaps he was born in the US timezone where it was a Sunday evening, but in his home country, Ghana, it was a Monday.
This looks really cool! Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to connect to a database. I get the "error returned from database: permission denied for database "postgres" even though I'm specifying all the fields.
Plot twist: This article itself was written by AI.
Zelle works for this. You can register Zelle on different bank accounts using different identifiers you have. Eg a phone and an email. I use this all the time to transfer between my own bank accounts, instantly. Over time , my Zelle limits also have increased.
I thought it meant Thanks For Asking - But I was wrong.

Unable to play on mobile unfortunately. But great execution on an idea that came to you in your sleep.
Would be great if there was a section showing some sample example sites. That was the first thing I was looking for and it seems like an omission on the frontpage.
Raywenderlich.com was my lifeblood getting started
Sorry but even the lightning network leads to more centralization. You still have to open and close each end and not every individual can do that because that’s already 2 on chain transactions.
Side note: Barranquilla hosts an awesome Carnaval that I got to see this year. It was my first impression of Colombia. Literally my 2nd day in the country for the first time. That's what got my hooked.
Curious if anyone has experience with this. If you did build a product first, are there cases when having said product can actually harm raising money?
I guess a follow up to this is.. if you had a product, could you then convince Mark Cuban to buy 10% instead of 20%? You still get benefit of having Mark Cuban's name alongside your company while still retaining more of it.
Plus, that 10% can then go to future investors. (I think that's what the article was trying to say)
I think you're assuming that Square is going to do all of bitcoin transactions on chain.
I reckon they will handle most of these in their internal ledger the exact same way they handle USD type transactions. BTC could only move from the core secure wallets when BTC are leaving their systems.
Why? Is Venice expensive place to run operations?
I think he was being punny, but given you use the word "spec-culating" Perhaps, you are being punny too. I can't tell anymore
Then there's also SlingShot back in 2014. Which went nowhere
I use Firebase Hosting, it's pretty simple, but I also use other Firebase Services.
Yup, WhatsApp voice calls beat Skype, hangouts, FaceTime audio, Slack audio. I don't know why, but I've tried them all. Somehow WhatsApp seems so much better.
I think he used that quote with the year timestamp to show how silly that quote is.
I'd go all in on Iota.
Transactions without a fee, Scalable. Meant for Machine to Machine Payments. The internet of things, nano transactions.. Doesn't use a blockchain but instead uses a Tangle. It's quite early and the tech may seem new but it does solve a lot of the scaling issues wrought with "blockchains".
