The days of using processor speed as a selling point for average consumer computers are well and truly over. I have a base M1 MacBook Pro which hasn’t blinked since I bought it.

School teaches you that failure is a bad thing and it is to be avoided at all costs. This is hugely problematic for later life. Great success more often than not comes from tail events. Try more things. Fail more often.

As you build out any business (tech or otherwise) you will come across micro problems that need to be solved. Oftentimes, solutions to these problems can be products in their own right. They are viable business ideas hiding in plain sight.

Vibe coders trying to justify why they don’t review the code and rely on their "sophisticated" test suites that are also vibe coded is the funniest shit
