The first question addresses the feasibility of solo developers using LLMs, with David and Jason weighing the benefits against potential security risks and overextension. The second question explores strategies for finding a co-founder, with Jason and David emphasizing the importance of shared values and diverse skill sets, and the need to build relationships through work or shared activities.
