- How much does it cost? I’m super curious.
- just get the fuck off of your computers
- Could we chat about this?
- Hey, where should I hit you up?
- Hey! I don’t think it would be a few million. If someone offered me a few million then yes I would sell.

- Hey! Why did you open source it? Genuinely curious.
- Hi! Why does it work best with Python? Should I even bother if it’s for a non python project? (In this case, a WordPress plugin).
Thank you!
- Hey, did you make these all by hand? I’m curious and impressed.

- Hey, I have a genuine question:
What is the point of a new model that isn’t better than the best possible model (example: OpenAI GPT-4)?
What’s the point in having a smaller model? Who cares?

This is a real, genuine question that I don’t have a clear answer to. Excuse my ignorance, plz enlighten your boi.
- moomooskycow, thanks for such a thoughtful response. I've read it and re-read it.
The vast majority the last decade has been solopreneuring. I've had a stint at larger companies, but usually as a consultant.
It's likely immature of me, but I gravitate strongly towards "meritocracy" and the simplest purest form of that - for me - has been to work almost entirely alone. And I am acutely aware of all the things I'm giving up in an idealized situation: working alongside great people who are smarter and more passionate than me, cool benefits, money, etc.
I deeply believe that I'd be incredibly valuable to the right company, for the right job, and that the salary and social benefits and such could change my life and lives of my family (and future family!).
But, I've failed as far as finding that just right job.
Here is immature Mike's train of thought regarding this, perhaps someone else can relate?: "I don't want to go do the thing that so many of my peers have done: get a job at a largish tech company, work super hard for 6 months and then fade into a passive state of not really doing anything besides fielding slack notifications and collecting large pay checks. Idk it just feels so lame. It feels immoral. But those people seem to be killing it, they have the money and their girlfriends feel secure and stable, they have friends and get sent on cool business trips. Maybe I'm the one who has it all wrong, and I'm going to slowly age into irrelevance with nothing but my misplaced pride...etc etc etc"

All that to say, perhaps it's fear of rejection that is keeping me from reaching out and finding that "just-right" job that leverages my "economically valuable" skills.
Your words have struck a chord, and I will make the aforementioned serious effort towards finding a compromise between earnings and outlets.
Thank you, and I hope to keep in touch. - Mike
- Ted, Thanks! Come to think of if, something along the lines of bartending or waiting tables does check both the [x] physical and [x] social boxes! Good idea!
- Thank you Matt!
- I wish you all the best kind friend.
- haha well said!
- SkyMarshal, how does a 31 year old programmer get into something like this? With little to no experience of construction?
How does Codex / Claude Code compare to working within Cursor with the chat and agents? Are they effectively the same thing?
Is one significantly better than the other. Please share your experiences around this I’m trying to be ass effective of an engineer as I can be at our company. - Mike
