@ACEdge @jonallie AI agents have a bigger context window than the average developer. They have a broader skill set to mix frontend, backend. With the right requirements definition, architecture framework and implementation guidelines, they can implement end to end. The key is avoiding overlap.

@johnlambe @jonallie Interesting. As a technical prod person I’ve been deep into “vibing” (hate that word) and agree my singular point of view with a few agents and even few junior dev’s from time to time has been helpful. Splitting up work slows things down and introduces error.

Half-formed shower thought: we need a better version control paradigm for AI assisted coding. The agent speedup feels great on greenfield/solo projects, but when you start collaborating with other devs, things can fall apart. Either you all exchange huge PRs (abandoning code review, and dealing with gnarly merge conflicts), or stick to a traditional flow with reasonably sized changes, in which case you spend a lot of time waiting for changes to land. Old style version control systems had the notion of files being "checked out" by a user. This was painful, but was a pretty good signal that someone was making changes to a set of files that might affect what you wanted to do. Obviously that had huge downsides, but I wonder if that "signal" doesn't still have value. In theory you could get something like this from git, with automatic / frequent push and pulls. You'd have to deal with the messy commit history, but...maybe the existing "functional chunk commits" strategy is an anachronism

Automation consultants charge $15K for what Claude Code now does in 2 hours. I know because we're the ones who used to charge it. Here's the exact process: Step 1: Discovery (20 min) → Paste your org chart, tool stack, and top 3 bottlenecks → Claude interviews you with clarifying questions → Outputs a full process inventory ranked by time cost Step 2: Workflow Mapping (15 min) → Describe any department's daily operations in plain English → Claude builds a complete process map → Every manual handoff, redundant step, and automation trigger flagged Step 3: Opportunity Audit (10 min) → Feed it the workflow map output → Returns your top 10 automation opportunities → Ranked by ROI, complexity, and build time Step 4: Architecture Design (20 min) → Claude designs the full system architecture → Which tools connect where, what the data flow looks like → Agents for complex logic, linear flows for the repetitive stuff Step 5: Build (ongoing) → Claude writes the actual workflow JSON → Self-documents everything as it builds Step 6: The output. A live dashboard your whole team can work from. → Clickable process maps for every department → Automation opportunities ranked by ROI → Implementation progress by phase → KPIs updated in real time → One link you share with clients, freelancers, or your team to execute This is what we hand every client at the end of discovery. The .md file is what makes all of it possible. Without it, Claude guesses. With it, Claude builds like a $15K consultant. Like this post, RT and comment "BLUEPRINT" and I'll send you the full prompt stack and the .md file we use internally. (Must be following so I can DM you) 🎁 Bonus: The first 100 people get a real Precision AI Blueprint — an actual sample audit doc from a client engagement so you can see exactly what the output looks like.

@EthanChoi7 Another way of looking at it might be: will AI labs revenue per GW consumed look more like cloud providers (eg AWS) or cloud customers (eg Big Saas)? $10B revenue per GW for AI is comparable to AWS but low compared to Saas.

I don’t think we are in a loss leader phase right now. Enterprises are willing to pay and gross margins for at least OAI and Anthropic have flipped positive to my understanding. Cost per token has also consistently come down but rate of decrease has def slowed. Long run, I expect all the data center builders to figure out the right optimizations to continue to push cost per token down.

I was a TA for Stanford's 2018 class on cryptocurrency. I helped teach the math of blockchain, cryptographic primitives that make up Bitcoin, smart contracts etc. But every office hours I would field questions from struggling students asking which coin they should buy. I kept telling them it's not an investment vehicle and I don't hold any crypto, but it didn't really matter. Bitcoin kept going up but I never was able to come up with a real world use case where blockchain was better than a database. It's unfortunate that the technology is so elegant but so limited in its uses. Condolences to those in crypto now but this has been the writing on the wall for a long time. It's all speculative pump-and-dumps and you haven't been honest with yourself if this is the first time you're recognizing it.

A trader thinks that the prices of eggs are going to increase, and so he contacts his broker and asks him to buy 1,000,000 egg futures at $1.70 Sure enough, a week later, the price of egg futures is $2.50, and the trader, happy to ride his winners, places an order for 3,000,000 more egg futures Next month, at $4.30 a piece, he pats himself on the back and restructures his liquid investments to buy another 10,000,000 egg futures At the end of the quarter, egg futures are trading at $7, and the trader finally calls up his broker and tells him to sell them all The broker replies: “To who? You’re the egg man!”

@Sinabhfuil No, but crumple zones make cars more bulky and heavier also. Big changes in safety standards over that period. Engines have got bigger and more complex, more internal stuff (aircon, electric windows etc) mean bigger batteries.

The best innovation in crypto is it spontaneously created a market for items that nobody would buy with real money.

@MichealMartinTD @SpotterIrish Wrong. Portugal is % of total population, not % of adults. Far ahead of Ireland.

Ireland now has the highest uptake of vaccination (full or both doses) anywhere in the EU, according to ECDC. A huge effort by the public, and everyone involved in our #CovidVaccine rollout.
