I did use default settings on those tools. I'd agree it wasn't the best benchmark and certainly wouldn't hold up if the goal here was to break any records in compression. The tools and settings chosen were mostly to validate 'this ended up roughly in the same ballpark as other tools' over 'Claude burned a lot of tokens and still made a terrible compression tool'.

One day I hope to do enough that Google doesn’t suggest my name is a typo.

The Gnorp Apologue (mentioned in another thread here) was also notably written in Rust. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1473350?emclan=10358...

A very exciting release and I hope it stacks up in the field. I ran into their team a few times in a previous role and they were always extremely robust in their clinical validation which is often lacking in the space.

I still see somewhat of a product gap in this whole area when selling into clinics but that can likely be solved with time.

I'd recommend giving Raylib a look if you haven't. I've been working on a couple small ideas using it lately and it feels very aligned to being a game 'engine' for people who come from a more classic software engineering background.

There was a time where I felt like this. Especially early as a founder as we began to bring on staff for the first time. I started to feel that if I wasn't building the things then someone would call me out for not being deserving of the founder title any more.

It took a long time to grow out of this feeling. These days I get a lot of joy from management. I try to look at myself like a coach on a sports team. I may not be on the field but I feel good when we win knowing the work I have done to help my team succeed.

I would agree with the author that the feedback loop is different. It is also often slower and more subtle. That doesn't however mean that it's not there. Perhaps the author is new to management, perhaps the author just really likes being an IC. Their journey is their own but I would certainly say there are many paths to endorphins as a manager, even as a manager of managers.
