A good way to reflect on #January6th is to listen to this Rational Security podcast recorded live in DC during the insurrection. I still can't fully process that this happened to our capital. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the… @shaneharris @benjaminwittes @Susan_Hennessey @tcwittes

@anagatakaya @bcherny @claudeai @AnthropicAI Yeah -- that makes a lot of sense. Obv claude code didn't think of load testing his own auth servers.

@MarkoInLA @bcherny @claudeai @AnthropicAI I think they invalidated all the oauth tokens to shake of the openclaw instances/harnesses and then everyone was trying to re auth. Also the 15s timeout thing is terrible.

Unable to auth using /login into Claude Code today. The auth screen on claude.ai is a bit slow and then I get this error after pasting in the code "OAuth error: timeout of 15000ms exceeded". @bcherny @claudeai @AnthropicAI This has been my view all morning

@bcherny @claudeai @AnthropicAI Finally showing on their status... status.claude.com I wonder if related to their crackdown on auth usage in other harnesses?

@bcherny @claudeai @AnthropicAI Looks like auth servers are completely down now... before they were responding slow. Now they're coming back with internal server errors.

@jessicamalnik @bgurley This! Ive learned the hard way one too many times…

@bgurley The law of diminishing returns. It applies to everything but big ad spend before PMF or with high churn is a special kind of hell for B2B businesses.

Paid marketing is the crudest game you can play. It’s admitting you have no creativity. And actually restricts your creativity. Fire those that want to spend more. abovethecrowd.com/2012/09/04/the…

NEW: A Russian victory is an Iranian victory. Those concerned with the growth of Iran’s military power, ambitions, and aggression in the Middle East must recognize the degree to which Iran’s fortunes rise and fall with Russia’s. (🧵1/9)

@rohanvarma Markdown viewer/editor. Easily manage multiple agents within a single view — think tmux panels. Better terminal, mines crashed a few times and I’m not sure how to recover without quitting codex. Most importantly — speed! Claude code just feels much faster.

If you have tried the Codex App, but don't use it as a daily driver yet: What needs to improve to make it the primary place you work with coding agents?

@mog_russEN This is Serbian brass music — they’re kissing each other 3 times. Don’t think it’s Turkish.

@HyperSalesman Thanks for the info -- still wondering what the best way to fill in demo/firmographic data for 100Ks of contacts we have in Salesforce to help with segmentation and freshnesss. Currently using Apollo but looking at other solutions to layer.

Marko is thinking about data the wrong way. - Firmographics - New businesses - Job changes - Promotions - Industry verticals Never look for these things in ZoomInfo, Apollo, Seamless, or any other database. The better approach: 1. Find tools that specialize in each of these 2. Build a master account list 3. Segment the list by location, size, & signals 4. Find 5-15 leads per account 5. Run async multi-channel outreach How I do this: - SalesNav + Exa for account building - DiscoLike for account expansion - Waterfall for email + phone data - Custom signals using Google API (funding rounds, etc.) TLDR SalesNav is your North Star for list building. Then Exa. And those two can identify most of the firmographics and signals you need. DiscoLike is a must for account expansion. Helps you find accounts you never knew exist. And run ASYNC outbound. - 30 days cold email - 5 days cold DMs - 10 days cold call

@HyperSalesman How about if the gap isn’t emails but demographic firmographic data? New company, title, industry, etc?

Everyone should just vibe code their own data waterfall using all of their favorite data providers. This can be done in 30 minutes. My recs on data: 1. QuickEnrich 2. FindyMail 3. Forager 4. Hunter 5. Wiza 6. Icypeas 7. LeadIQ This will cost < $1,000 for almost infinite data. Append every search result into a database that records: - Lead name - Company - Data source - Location You can also get their LinkedIn URL, company info, buying signals, etc. by combining Google’s search API + OpenAI API for formatting and additional research. Just ask Replit to do this. It’s easy. Everything with Apollo sucks. Their sequencer, dialer, and data are all mid.

@hadlinho @LDiken @petergyang @bcherny Me neither… still getting prompts as well.

@LDiken @petergyang @bcherny I am not seeing that behaviour. I am getting asked about everything in the world remotely and all of my live sessions in CC were with dangerously-skip-permissions

Need dangerously skip permissions for mobile remote control @bcherny 🙏

@rafiulm_ @dr_cintas I can second that... definitely feels a generation behind. Sometimes it makes tool calling mistakes that haiku gets right.

@dr_cintas Don’t trust benchmarks. It’s not even close to Opus.

MiniMax-M2.5 went fully open source and it’s basically Claude Opus performance but 95% cheaper.. it scores 80.2% on SWE-bench verified. It's 3x faster than the industry leaders. 4 useful use cases: 1.  Build interactive prototypes

@joekent16jan19 Yes, published by the @WSJ, notoriously pro democrat crooked media... 😅

Like clockwork: DNI Gabbard finds 2020 election fraud, days later the WSJ publishes a cryptic hit piece from anonymous sources. This is the Russiagate/impeachment hoax playbook, ment to divert attention from the DNI’s fight for the truth. No one is buying this crap in 2026.

@victormustar Some people can't comprehend that UX is important...

Funny how you can do the same thing with a local model without sending all your data to a remote cloud.

@hxiao same -- been getting this all morning

it's over again - claude code overloaded error.

@_overment @TheAhmadOsman eats up too much context, all MCP tool descriptions are passed every call which is pretty crazy.

What exactly is wrong with MCP? I am asking because people say they are bad, but when questioned, they point to things that have little to do with MCP and instead relate to underlying function-calling mechanics. MCPs are often about exposing tool schemas and executors for function calling. You can easily merge the list of "native tools" with those exposed via MCPs, and they work exactly the same way. The difference is that if I have integrations built for my back-end agents and I want to use them in Claude Code or any other UI that supports MCP, I can do so easily without moving the code. Furthermore, "bash is all you need" is not the answer when thinking about agents beyond personal use and local workflows. At the same time, "bash is all you need" remains an important piece of the puzzle for building agents. And no offense, I’m just curious and want to understand this a bit better.

am i right or am i right

@Jonsnow333444 @bballbreakdown Yikes, maybe he’s jealous of the production value or just being a jerk for the clicks. Thinking basketball is fantastic!

@bballbreakdown Really? I think he was very fair on the controversial plays, saying "yes if we interpret the rules loose enough those plays are all legal but maybe we shouldn't be so loose". He also showed similar plays in earlier eras which were called a travel or offensive foul.

I can show you 50 players who draw fouls the exact same way. So now what?

@bballbreakdown For an great in-depth analysis of these offense-favoring changes check out Thinking Basketball youtube.com/watch?v=8NWDEb… @ElGee35

What rubs people the wrong way is exactly what Ben Taylor says at the start -- "This is an emphasis over the last couple of years on pathway plays". The rules haven't changed, the NBA is deciding to call the game differently. Obviously interpretation of the rules has always shifted, however this specific kind of play drives people crazy because its almost impossible to understand without careful frame-by-frame analysis and seems to be very challenging for the refs to call consistently.

Lots of folks ask me why the refs make the calls they do. I got to sit down with a whole crew to discuss their calls in detail. Really worth a watch: youtu.be/TGqhcRsE7o8

You’ve nailed the truth of it… code will be abstracted away. Each frontier model release will ratchet up the general code quality anyway. What’s really important is teaching system design and thinking, DevOps best practices, etc. Learning the layers above code will be even more important.

I was talking to a guy who vibe-coded a saas, trying to explain to him what a huge mess the code is. I thought I had him. He looked at me completely confused. “So?” He said. That’s when it hit me: Vibe-coders don’t give a shit about code. They don’t understand it, they don’t touch it, they will never have to deal with it. They care about bringing their ideas to life and nothing else. They are 100% unburden by what many of us consider a showstopper. There’s an important lesson here.
