Great for MIT to be putting out such timely and relevant content for free!


This is a helpful breakdown of a trend, thank you

Might be a boon for test-driven development. Could turn out that AI coding is the killer app for TDD. I had a similar thought about a year ago but had forgotten, appreciate the reminder


Hey I reached out on twitter to chat :)

Chinchilla actually came first!


Good on you guys for being so transparent about your fundraise process! Amazing persistence, glad it worked out


Thank you!


This is an incredibly well-written article and helps track and rationalize some of the trends I've been seeing as well around backends as a service that enable developers to easily spin up modern web applications

Thanks so much for writing it!


Thanks for the kind words!

This study [1] does a good job rigorously comparing 1/N to various alternative trading strategies. It also talks about situations where 1/N is more or less likely to dominate.

"Our simulations show that optimal diversification policies will dominate the 1/N rule only for very high levels of idiosyncratic volatility."

Feels like the most interesting thing here is the shareable link after every commit that effectively lets you share the current edition of the site without your collaborators having to build locally themselves.

That's cool! Great for collaborative site building.

Are there any advancements here on the singleplayer front? E.g. does this notably improve the experience of building a personal site let's say?


You can do this with very easily with github action (or any CI) and firebase. It's what my team has been doing.

Whenever there is a merge into dev, it github will build and deploy it to firebase that everyone has access to on the team.
