One of our AI enabled internal projects is moving ~135 faster than before. Of course you can't perfectly compare. New framework, better insights, updated libraries etc.

Bless your metric.

If you end up finishing it in 6 months, are you going to revise that estimate, or celebrate the fact that you don't need to wait until 2092 to use the project?

Yeah, these 100x numbers being thrown out are pretty wild. It dawned on me during the Shopify CEO post awhile back. 100x is unfathomable!

You did a years worth of work in 3 days? That is what 100x means.

Lol, I appreciate your reality check

wrote a guide on how to use cursor for large codebases here: https://getstream.io/blog/cursor-ai-large-projects/ working well over here

cool to see more AI tools address this

Thank you! I think this is the next evolution of using LLM for coding. Understanding all the context from large codebases...

not a big fan of fivetran's pricing

I run a professional services org that helps you switch to an open source alternative. We'll host the solution for you if you want and aim to be drop-in Fivetran compatible in your workflows with a transition plan so you can run the thing if you'd like. Pricing is flexible. Personal email in profile.

Can you say more? Is it the unpredictability, or just too expensive?

They charge based on the highest number of unique rows transferred for the month. It gets expensive quickly.

When I watch Messi play I think his technique is sloppy to be honest.

Your CEO is correct that ~80% of VC funding is currently focused on AI. So you have only 2 options basically. You either don't raise VC funding (which means hitting break even, rule of 40% performance). Or, you go all in on AI

If it's not an AI story for your business you need exceptional metrics. Like growing from 8M to 24M in a year for a C round.

My bad, 71% to be exact: https://x.com/jasonlk/status/1913286165408735255?t=IC_fuRNG9...

it's an aggressive preemptive round, so i'd guess 2b/50 = 40M of revenue. Probably low margins since the free tier/ hosting postgres nature of the business.

Adherence to tribal views is how you end up with the space shuttle Columbia crash.

Funny how everything goes through a cycle of it's amazing, it's terrible, it's boring

Doesn't always help. Price hikes on CockroachDB for instance have been crazy.

Wrote a guide for using Cursor for large/real projects. Crazy times, to see just how much faster you can build with AI
