When you run into a bug/problem, asking it to find the source instead of asking it to fix it
bnova··on Ask HN: What do you think about blockchain's current trajectory
I feel this depends on whether you believe concentration is a problem. Like before the Neolithic Revolution people didn't really have leaders, if someone tried to be a tyrant it was a lot easier to leave.

Though after agriculture and the ability to concentrate wealth blockchain is imo the first real shot of a store of value independent of a system.... though by creating a new system in which a few centralized players are in charge, humanity prevails

bnova··on Ask HN: How would you get your first user who is a stranger?
When you say "lead prospecting," what did that actually look like in practice for you when you were starting from zero? Like for me so far I feel I think too much of how to optimize whatever it is I'm building (which is the relative easy)
bnova··on Ask HN: Why is the term forward deployed engineer (FDE) popular all of a sudden?
I'd guess it's popularized by Palantir which did the FDE model on a large scale (to great success) though it seems now the competitive landscape for AI implementation is broadening (such as openai implementation partners for ex)
