I tend to look at other people involved, like contributors but not just the volume but actual people and their other activity. If the original author is still around and active that tends to be a good sign IME

it's the frame that's surprisingly - and consistentnly - wrong. You'd think two triangles would be pretty easy to repro; once you get that the rest is easy. It's not like he's asking "draw a pelican on a four-bar linkage suspension mountainbike..."

you can also get a service contract via MS quite easily/cheaply, which mightnot help you with hard problems but does solve the easy ones. example: in earlydays we bought OpenAI API directly and via Azure; when we needed account service we got it immediately from MS instead of waitlists from OpenAI.

this is peak "the majority of people in this role are garbage but I'm a rockstar". 98%+ of people identify as special snowflakes.

>> Anish Acharya says it is not worth it to use AI-assisted coding for all business functions. AI should focus on core business development, not rebuilding enterprise software.

I don't even know what this means, but my take: we should stop listening to VCs (especially those like A16Z) who have an obvious vested interest that doesn't match the rest of society. Granting these people an audience is totally unwarranted; nobody but other tech bros said "we will vibe code everything" in the first place. Best case scenario: they all go to the same exclusive conference, get the branded conference technical vest and that's were the asteroid hits.
