>About 20 years ago, I tried to found a startup. The ideas were good, and the team was good, but the execution was awful, and while we almost raised some money, we didn’t quite get there. Our failure was my fault. And I was pretty upset. And yet? In retrospect I’m happy that it didn’t happen, because I’ve seen what it means to get an investment. The world needs investors and people with big enough dreams to need venture capital – and I’m glad that I didn’t end up being one of them.

I wish the Author would explain what he meant by this. I'm hugely interested in this story and the 'why' of it.

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER READ I MY ENTIRE LIFE LMFAOOOO

Maybe if you mentioned a more complex, lower level or niche language than typescript like maybe C, MIPS or some niche exotic systems language pushing around registers. I'd believe yu, with caveat, but with abstract high level abstract languages like Python, typescript and the likes? It's highly unlikely that you would've put together syntax in any uniquely surprising combination. Maybe yu mean yu designed a clever fix to a problem within a larger codebase so thar would mean a context/attention issue for the LLM but there's no way in hell yu wrote up a contained piece of code solving a specific problem, not tied to a larger software env, that couldn't also have been written by frontier LLMs provided yu could articulate the problem, a course-of-action and expected output/behavior. LLMs are very good at writing code in isolation, humans still have deeper intuition and we're still extremely good at doing the plug-in, wiring and big picture planning. Yu over-estimate what you've done with typescript or misunderstand what 'LLMs are good at writing code' [in isolation] means
