Raising VC as a technical founder, I’ve learned this: engineers build magic and forget it’s magic. Other engineers learning how to fundraise: don’t forget your investor audience is quite likely *extremely* non-technical. You need to demonstrate how much magic you’ve built. They won’t see it.

I was reminded of Noah Gibbs’ talk on ‘The Forty Year Programmer’ If you have, or are considering having, a career in software then I think this is worth 30 minutes of your time. Lots of wisdom here even for those of us similarly long in the tooth www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPkJ...

Noah embodied a lot of the things I love about the Ruby community. We were very lucky to know him and I will miss him. If you knew Noah please share your memories with his family via @nateberkopec.bsky.social

I’m very wary when people anthropomorphize LLM behavior (i.e., self-reflection, motivations). It’s not dissimilar to presenting LLMs as an AGI-lite.
