Wouldn't it be better, if there's an easy way, to just feed such bots shit data instead of blocking them. I know it's easier to block and saves compute and bandwidth, but perhaps feeding them shit data at scale would be a much better longer term solution.

I made insane progress with CC over last several weeks, but lately have noticed progress stalling.

I’m in the middle of some refactoring/bug fixing/optimization but it’s constantly running into issues, making half baked changes, not able to fix regressions etc. Still trying to figure out how to make do a better job. Might have to break it into smaller chunks or something. Been pretty frustrating couple of weeks.

If anyone has pointers, I’m all ears!!

> Oh and I pay £1.28 per litre and 7p per KWh (for overnight car charging). The petrol price is low at the moment for here (it hit £2+ when Russia went mental).

I (in the US, California) pay less for petrol than you and more for electricity; 87p/L and 23p/kWh overnight.

Yup, in CA with PG&E a gas car is cheaper to drive than EV unless one has solar or free charging at work.

I think the biggest risk in having an actual one-person billion dollar company is the Bus Factor [0]

Billion dollar valuation depends on investors, investors will never pay that valuation due the inherent risk in a one-person company. They’ll force them to hire for redundancy.

Yeah, it's really a stupid name that has stuck because of who tweeted it. I really respect Karpathy, but in this particular case he did a disservice.

I think it's some variation of the efficient markets hypothesis. There are no problems that are both that lucrative and that easy to solve; if they existed, they would get dogpiled and stop being lucrative. Even in this day and age, $10B of revenue is an incredibly high bar.

On the other hand, $10B as valuation (not revenue) just requires a greater fool. Maybe it's possible, but I doubt there are too many of those fools available.

yumraj · 24 days ago
Yeah, $10B revenue is insane.

I interpreted the parent as saying $10B valuation.

> as a vibe coding skeptic, I was amazed.

The interesting thing about all of this vibe coding skepticism, cynicism, and backlash is that many people have their expectations set extremely low. They’re convinced everything the tools produce will be junk or that the worst case examples people provide are representative of the average.

Then they finally go out and use the tools and realize that they exceed their (extremely low) expectations, and are amazed.

Yeah we all know Claude Code isn’t going to generate a $10 billion SaaS with a team of 10 people or whatever the social media engagement bait VCs are pushing this week. However, the tools are more powerful than a lot of people give them credit for.

Not trying to argue, since I don’t have counter evidence, but how can you be so sure?
