I started playing with hardware manufacturing, as I think there is value into getting specific devices for listening to music, taking notes, etc. Using a smartphone is like opening up a candy box, and kills much of the joy and appreciation for what we do on it. My first project is a music player. Making my first prototype with a 3d printer.
It sounds to me in contrast to the grandiose claims OpenAI tries to make about its own products - it views AI as 'regular technology', and is pragmatically tries to build viable products using it.
> It's hard to imagine building anything as impactful as AGI, and LLMs are easily the technological innovation of the decade.
I really can't see a person with at least minimal self-awareness talking their own work up this much. Give me a break dude. Plus, you haven't built AGI yet.
Can't believe there's so little critique of this post here. It's incredibly self-serving.
I followed the same journey but was unimpressed by Rails attempt at modernization with Hotwire. Decided to give Elixir + Phoenix a try and immediately fell in love. Just like I had with rails years ago. I highly recommend people to check it out, liveview is a game changer for building modern web apps without the complexity of JS, and without the baggage of using Rails to do it. And performance is mind blowing.
Funnily enough, a JS library that I often use with Elixir, Phoenix and Live View is StimulusJS (which is part of Hotwire) I also have written a hacky stimulus controller to integrate it with Phoenix hooks for full integration.
Not sure about Rails, haven't used it in more than a decade, but NextJS was a major contributor to massive burnout. Of one thing I'm certain: Phoenix is my last web framework. I love it to bits, and I hope to retire before it stops being cool.
Simplest thing I could come up with:
Marketing is the message that describes your product (copywriting, branding, positioning) + the distribution channels to spread it to the right people (SEO, social media, ads, etc.)
1. to get paid on twitter you need to subscribe to the $8/mo checkmark
2. most people currently subscribed are musk fans (likely right wing)
Consequence: most people who get paid today are right-wing. But if big accounts from the left came back and subscribed to the $8/mo checkmark, they would get paid too.
