Episode notes
Prototype Fast With LLMs But Review Critical Code
- Use LLMs to prototype and move fast when your app isn't handling sensitive user data.
- Get a skilled reviewer before shipping anything critical to production to avoid security and correctness issues.
Know Your Limits Before Shipping LLM Code
- Consider how far you can take LLM-generated solutions before you lose the ability to fix failures.
- Avoid shipping systems you can't diagnose and repair yourself to minimize future anxiety and risk.
Seek Complementary Co-founders, Not Clones
- A co-founder should add complementary skills, not duplicate your role.
- Find partners who expand capability and surface area rather than create redundant overlap.
