Yep! Watched a bunch of them on YouTube though.

It's great to have a good in-flight Wi-Fi experience. It's a factor when booking for me, but not the most important factor.

The primitives you expose that others use and build upon matter. Actually, that's sometimes all that matters about a product.

I really enjoyed this talk. First talk of yours that I've had the pleasure to attend live.

I can only imagine how much worse that is for your friend. I wouldn't mind as much if the agents were more kind about it. It's just very abrupt and demanding.

How many times per year do you need to be randomly selected by TSA for an extended check before it's not random anymore?

Haha. I question it too.

It'll fail, but it'll fool many people.

Perhaps it doesn't matter for some class of people but it does matter for others. Sure X months from now it might be better or worse but you'll still need to define the goal and what done really looks like, regardless whether you'll read the output.

But also, someone did care about the complexity of the process so they could optimize for cost, time, taste, and other facets. My point is that, left unattended, LLMs don't have much of a concept of complexity so it can easily create complex things.

Matthew Sanabria @matthewsanabria.com · 8h

Yeah I get what you're saying. I'm on the fence because there are certainly areas in life where the complexity doesn't matter to the user. Case in point is restaurants. I don't care how complex the process of making the food was. I just care about the output.

Matthew Sanabria @matthewsanabria.com · 8h

The bias to complexity part I think is the more important part of that line. LLMs will pursue complexity autonomously in pursuit of the goal if left unchecked.

Read the #monktoberfest posts and follow great people on Bluesky!

It sure it, but also many of these communities aren't at the millions of users scale. Could do something smaller and more focused.

Matthew Sanabria @matthewsanabria.com · 01/10/2026

I'm not even defining best here, the communities that continue to choose Slack and Discord are. There are other options but none seem to get traction comparatively.

Matthew Sanabria @matthewsanabria.com · 01/10/2026

It's 2026 and our best option for community chat applications remains Slack and Discord. I'm beginning to wonder if all these "builders" are actually building anything.

Smash Bros and Mario Party were core to our friend group growing up. I wanted to list one of them but the others just had more impact on me personally.

DuckDB is pretty great. Glad to see others using it.

Haha. I definitely showed mine.

Aim for 330k to break even based on hourly rate. Only if you're okay working the extra day though.

I find too many people compare AI of the future against the present world. They say things like "AI solves this in 6 months". Okay but in 6 months the world will be different and we'll have new and/or different problems to solve. This exchange feels like that.

Hahaha! You hit this right on the head. I can name people that have their LinkedIn headline set to that and are heavily relying upon AI.

I was wondering about that. Thanks for sharing.
