Thanks. As a married cofounder myself living in California, if I were to early exercise my own stock options and file the election through Carta, my election could be invalidated by the IRS since my wife did not also sign it. This could lead to very unfavorable tax treatment on my personally held stock.

To mitigate these risks, it appears I should advise our general counsel and HR director about this issue with Carta immediately.

Mechanical engineer here. The moment of the of the phone is going to shift it’s gonna be very uncomfortable to hold.

That was too long. Had AI summarize the article. Is this about right?

Here is a summary with some additional context:

1. AI competition is heating up, with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, etc investing heavily and releasing new models. There is also a proliferation of AI startups raising large funding rounds. OpenAI fired then quickly rehired its CEO Sam Altman, causing confusion.

2. Machine learning engineers are in extremely high demand in the job market, receiving lavish recruiting offers. Meanwhile, other engineers like backend developers or mobile devs are struggling to move jobs since companies are mainly focused on security and ML hires. ML people get showered with "bear spray" level recruiting interest.

3. Most companies, even big Fortune 1000 brands, are still only in the initial stages of developing a concrete AI strategy and execution plans. There's a lot of "we're working on it" talk but not much to show yet. Companies are slow to focus on this due to inertia and competing internal priorities.

4. Metrics like "completion acceptance rate" (CAR) for coding assistants don't actually quantify developer productivity gains. However, some companies wrongly want to use CAR to closely monitor developers.

5. Cody, a new coding assistant from Sourcegraph using retrieval-augmented generation, leverages Sourcegraph's code search and understanding strengths. It is now generally available. Comments in code can improve Cody's understanding. Sourcegraph has developed Cody quickly thanks to its existing infrastructure.

Licensing?

We can agree to disagree

Cheeky my friend

Licensing and privacy details pls?

In ten years it won’t matter. The top 3 in the world will be USA, China and India. Then it will become China, india and USA. Unless Germany and Japan change their birth rates they will start shrinking

Perhaps from a technology standpoint (debateable).

But from the perspective of a CEO, we want

1. Talent hiring should be easy, so we can plan growth

2. There should be a good self service support for developers

3. Need good sales support in architecture and tech selection (when needed)

4. Need to be able to get through to support engineer in 5 mins or less (we use aws premium support)

5. Need single vendor (as much as possible).

We consume a lot if what aws has to offer - we use their workspaces, mac cloud, device farm, code commit etc

We did a proper shoot out. While aws has its idiosyncrasies- it’s light years ahead of Google and Microsoft

Ps. We use Gsuite (for the last decade) - teaching a live human used to a challenge - now it’s a major pain.

If we find a better alternative to Gmail, Gdocs (etc). I’d switch in a heartbeat.

Would love to chat and incorporate. How do I get in touch

Download by torrent. Very cute!

Do you sell to businesses? I.E., b2b ot b2c?

I was managing Accenture as a strategic partner and in one meeting we were discussing solutions for a division of Siemens. I represented the third largest ent Software company at that time.

The Accenture EMEA head asked the room what can we offer to solve X.

before I could answer, of my engineers stepped up and said Product X

MD. How much does it cost? Engineer: $50000 per year

MD turns to me and says. What do you have that costs $1M or more.

Accenture made $2 for every $1 of our SW. They had no interest in selling solutions that didn’t move their and our goals.

Yes. It’s quite frustrating.

Looking at private models now.

Microsoft had MoneyCebtral in the 90s. And in typical MSFT fashion they killed a great product.

We are taking an open source HR software and wrapping banking/payments (salary via card or to our online bank.)

The key elements are going to be banking/payments. But the HR will provide some of the master data mgmt.

I hope that clarifies what we are doing.

- I am not sure we can add much value to the tech we will be using.

- however we will be offering some of our technology as open source.

I downloaded FF today, it's zippy. But I rely on dozens of Chrome extensions. That's one of the things I like about Chrome -- its extensibility. HOwever, Chrome is a memory hog, it routinely destroys the 16gb of memory and the battery of my MBPro.

When FF has sn equivalent set of extensions, I will happily dump Chrome. Until then, it appears I'm stuck with Chrome
