Simple and interesting to for me was that at Perplexity they start projects by exploring LLM capabilities with very simple prototypes, even with just a command-line implementations. Only once there’s proof that the idea can work consistently, and that they can bend it to do... See more
- Rewire your patterns
The most empowering thing I’ve heard is that there is a gap between stimulus and response, and that the key to both our growth and happiness is how we use and expand that space.
