Using a variation of this:
```
for(let j=0; j<5; j++){
window.captureBtnLeftFunc({preventDefault: () => {}})
for(let i=0; i<200; i++){
if (window.prediction == window.lastKey) {
window.captureBtnRightFunc({preventDefault: () => {}})
} else {
window.captureBtnLeftFunc({preventDefault: () => {}})
}
}
}```
actually got me a pretty linear upward win line for thousands of simulated clicks

they've raised 250m, assuming they lose money at the current rate of 111m in H1, wouldn't they run out of money before then?

I got a referral from a friend that was also an early employee at the startup. I joined mostly because the people seemed smart and I thought I'd learn a lot from them and have fun building a cool product.
To be honest, most of it is just luck. My two cents is to just find really smart and hungry people, look for evidence of incredibly fast product velocity and some semblance of product market fit. For first 50, there's a decent number of post series A startups that should have those indicators.

But suppose you were unfamiliar with the code, the 2nd tells you what fields/methods are available for "item", and furthermore most IDEs will use that info to populate autocomplete suggestions and such.

Data structures, algorithms, fundamentals like how compilers/memory/operating systems work likely won't change, programming languages and frameworks are constantly changing.

They only tested with numbers size of ~2^800, which is around 240 digits, but I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) there exists usages of RSA with over 600 digits, so it'll still take a massively long amount of time to factor those numbers...

I've tinkered with this in side projects and it's really a joy to work with. The setup for a basic CRUD app w/ GraphQL and Auth/plugins/CSS frameworks takes ~1minute, and the generated code is pretty extensible.
