It's genuinely unbelievable to think we went from 5 people working on an OSS project 2 years ago to a $1.5B business now. How did we do it? 1. Hire amazing people 2. Never stop investing in your community

We are incredibly excited to announce our $103M Series B led by @IndexVentures. This funding proves that if you relentlessly listen to people and refuse to compromise on great design, the results will be staggering. We are so grateful to our community.

I recently ran an AI experiment with @Resourcely with a goal to generate reliable and secure Terraform based on a natural language. While this may sound trivial, we found that the devil is really in the details. Read more here: resourcely.io/post/just-anot…

Building always-on, business-critical AI applications or agents on a constantly updating and growing volume of unstructured data requires resilient and fast data infrastructure.  I am super excited to finally announce @tensorlake's open-source, real-time data framework, Indexify. ​ Real-time processing: Optimized for tasks like summarization, extraction, embedding, and parsing, Indexify works well with frequently updated data. It can ingest any data modality at scale, with incremental updates that don't require re-processing entire documents. ​ Reliability, Multi-Cloud and Hardware Acceleration: Indexify reliably processes data even during transient infrastructure failures, ensuring high availability . Extracted data is automatically stored in storage systems. Pipelines can run on GPUs, CPUs, and across multiple clouds for flexibility and resilience. ​ Observability: Fully observable, Indexify allows you to identify bottlenecks in extraction pipelines and retrieval APIs for semantic searches and SQL queries. ​ Indexify has been tested on AWS with hundreds of thousands of documents and images to ensure production-readiness. ​ It comes with retrieval APIs for RAG applications, autonomous agents or any AI application. It's fully extensible, allowing you to bring any model into pipelines. ​ Blog Post: medium.com/tensorlake-ai/ann… GitHub: github.com/tensorlakeai/inde… Website: getindexify.ai Discord Community: discord.gg/vxQPZpp7bV

This is nonsense. Clearly a statement made by someone who doesn’t work for commission (I don’t either). Yes, working smarter is better than working harder. Want to know what’s even better? Working smarter and harder.
If you’re working 70 hours a week you have one of three problems: 1) you are a poor delegator. This is the most likely scenario (95%) 2) you have too much ego, believe you’re too special, and incorrectly believe only you can do the job. This is very common (4.9%) 3) you’re in too hard of a business. There are some businesses that just can’t be scaled. The market sucks and nobody has done it before you. You’re solving a problem that doesn’t exist and trying to climb an impossible mountain. This is rare (.1%)

As a degenerate hypochondriac, there is nothing quite like the doctor giving all clear in yearly physical. The peace of mind will last at least a few months at which point I'm sure I'll redevelop all the symptoms again.

If you do sales or recruiting and do not present yourself as such while also still trying to push whatever your incentivized to push... I probably won't ever respond to you again.

We made a post/video talking about our wonderful new @temporalio getting started experience. The new experience is only possible because of the hard work of our wonderful partners @datadoghq and specifically Jacob LeGrone. temporal.io/blog/temporalite… youtube.com/watch?v=-BJRQmNC…

The best part of being in a startup is getting a killer team together and letting them loose on a problem with no big company restrictions and processes to slow us down. It's incredible what a small group of the right people can do!

Not that I think anything suspect is necessarily going on but the idea that you could trust the integrity of a poll run by a man who owns and unilaterally controls the software which runs and hosts the poll is cracking me up.

Fourth video in my series where I share unrequested opinions about /r/productmanagement posts. This one even starts with some minor meta Reddit drama. youtu.be/ifQkNaxcDe4

It's not just intuition. Having spent a lot of time playing with large developer survey datasets, preference for text based learning has a clear correlation with years of experience. Here is a visualization I have setup from Jetbrains data (n=>8000).
12 Dec 2022
Thoughts on this? My intuition is that it's mostly true: videos for learning, text for reference. I do wonder where books fit into the spectrum, though...

Keep in mind that the alternative interpretation from this data is that people with more years of experience are older and its their age and not years of experience which creates this correlation.

That is 100% a render.

I would prefer a world where people call out the opposite: “Read my new book it’s an overpriced piece of shit”
