did this guy read that other paper about ai usage making people stupid?

how long until he falls from staff engineer back down to senior or something less?

It's funny that the MIT paper HN is trending higher than this post, so it propped up before I read this article.

They must have had a strong position from which to negotiate those favorable terms, in addition to the experience to know to do so, and the integrity to actually do it. The type of people you should follow.

I don't believe they did. This acquisition was by Flipkart, the poster child startup in India, who had a very high bar for hiring. They wanted to interview the non-founders to make sure they met the standard. The founders said you get all or you get none. To be fair, it was a small team of 6-8 employees, so I doubt Flipkart cared. :)

I went through an acquisition very early in my career, and for the longest time I believed it was the best outcome for everyone. Over time, I realized that my naive belief was purely due to the founders going way above and beyond to make sure each and every employee (including folks doing just data entry) got a good outcome (accelerated vesting, significant equity in new company, top of the band pay, etc.). It made me realize that if you ever want to work at a start up, bet on the founder, rather the company. Even with mediocre outcomes, you'll end up ahead in the long run compared to folks who're just looking out for themselves.

I don’t get any money from them. There are no affiliate links anywhere. I’m just really enjoying what Claude Code can do.

BhavdeepSethi · 3 months ago

Yep, didn't intend to downplay your claims. Would love to see a video in action to learn more.

>> “commit everything in logical chunks” and Claude handles the entire flow—staging changes, writing meaningful commit messages, pushing, opening PRs, watching CI, and fixing any CI failures. When builds break, it analyzes the errors and patches them automatically. It’s also extremely good at resolving merge conflicts.

Is this marketing hype for the post or does it actually do all this? I know it's relatively new, but I haven't been able to find a resources to do such a setup? Only posts glorifying that it's capable of such tasks. If anyone else has had better luck with such complex tasks, would love to find out more.

Surprised they didn't answer if they tried using AlphaEvolve to improve AlphaEvolve!

BhavdeepSethi commented on Ask HN: Has anyone quit their startup (VC-backed) over cofounder disagreements? · Posted by u/stuck12345

Cofounder splits are extremely common. Cofounder "couples" counselors are a thing you could look into to help resolve your differences. Your VC might have recommendations for one. If you ultimately decide to split, I'd recommend at least one of you (or "the company"?) getting a lawyer to draw up a formal separation agreement you both sign in order to split in the cleanest possible way.

I thought this was satire before I looked it up. I mean, it makes sense but it's still so hard to believe.

> it's time to buy a suit

Yeah, no. I'd deduct points if the candidate wears a suit. What a huge red flag, missing all sorts of context and appropriateness cues.

BhavdeepSethi · 5 months ago

This is insane to read. You don't get brownie points for what you're wearing, but deducting points for someone trying to impress folks by dressing more formally than what you're typically used to?
