J'ai accompagné des entreprises en création et des startups depuis les années 2000, d'abord via HEC Entrepreneurs, puis sur le continent africain depuis que j'y suis installé. Je continue à proposer coaching ou mentoring à ce jour.

Voici quelques conseils utiles pour tous ceux qui pensent investir, ainsi que mes remarques sur les VCs dans les startups "Web3" ces dernières années.

Hey all,

I've released -portable 0.111 which coincides with upstream's got release of the same version.

No -portable changes worth mentioning, so best to go and see the gory details in got's own changelog.

Note that a lot of the 0.111 work has gone into gotsysd, which -portable won't have.

As always, for -portable, see:

Been fiddling with Jujutsu VCS and the simple adjustment of having to describe my change/commit *before* I start changing files is profound.

Using Jujutsu #jj #VCS on top of Git has completely transformed my workflow and made working on multiple things at once pretty much trivial. Very impressed.

What if AI doesn’t just keep getting better forever? - https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/11/what-if-ai-doesnt-just-keep-getting-better-forever/ there will be a very big pop... #bubble #genai #vcs

I am new to git.

Last night, I read the first three or so chapters of "Pro Git":

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

It has already been incredibly helpful, in terms of understanding the conceptual underpinnings of git, and how to use it in practice.

I haven't read anything else yet about git, so I can't offer a comparative perspective, but so far it treads that fine line between "too simple" and "too complicated" really well.

I love a good manual for software.

#AI #GenerativeAI #AIBubble #AIHype #SiliconValley #VCs #VentureCapital: "For now, attitude is more important than any product—that tech companies are willing to spend so much is their proof that AI will pay off. And perhaps even more important in Silicon Valley than a messianic belief in AI is a terrible fear of missing out. “In the tech industry, what drives part of this is nobody wants to be left behind. Nobody wants to be seen as lagging,” Joshi said. Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft are defending their empires. Go all in on AI, the thinking goes, or someone else will. Their actions evince “a sense of desperation,” Cahn writes. “If you do not move now, you will never get another chance.” Enormous sums of money are likely to continue flowing into AI for the foreseeable future, driven by a mix of unshakable confidence and all-consuming fear."

"We need to challenge the notion that #VCs should be the primary architects of our economic future. Their outsized influence on capital allocation, technological development, and increasingly, on #politics, needs to be balanced…
The stakes are too high to leave our economic fate in the hands of those who can’t see beyond their next #bigexit. It’s time for a VC reckoning, before their myopia leads us all off a cliff."
