@martin_casado Yes please 🙌🏻

Hey infra folks. We're standing up a new Discord server to discuss CS infra. If you want an invite DM me (reply and I'll follow). thanks!

@martin_casado 100%. Also, CS coursework should shift more to evaluating generated code rather than only writing it.

Contrary to the common narrative, I find that AI helps stronger, more experienced programmers a lot more then it does less experienced programmers. They have the context for what to ask about, how to evaluate the responses, and the tools to handle large code disruptions.

Insights from @anaimi @LEAPandInnovate: Navigating Series A onwards starts with an often overlooked question: which investor type best fits the company's growth trajectory? Before that, it's scalability & product market fit; cohort & churn analysis serving as sources of truth.

We’re participating in the $130m Pre-IPO round of @SallaApp, the leading e-commerce enabler in MENA. STV is proud and grateful to be the largest investor in Salla and one of the early backers since 2020. Congrats, Nawaf and team! stv.vc/blog/en/salla-…

@platypii Depends on the use case. Critical (e.g. health), then worst output.

Should models be judged on their worst output, or their best output?
