@felixge.de hey there, it’s been a minute, but our interests continue to align. Would you be up for a chat with me and some colleagues about Go profiling? We are DD customers, but this is some lower level stuff we are dealing with.

If you are a computer programmer ("coder") these days, you cannot afford to ignore AI software creation. It's not perfect, but will make you 10 or 20 times faster than the person next to you. Same for medical analysis like reading x-rays and summarizing patient histories, all in play TODAY.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.
