@thsottiaux go! team codex!

Codex just got a lot more powerful. Computer use, in-app browser, image generation and editing, 90+ new plugins to connect to everything, multi-terminal, SSH into devboxes, thread automations, rich document editing. Learns from experience and proactively suggestions work. And a ton more.

@mingjie wondering how the pricing model of Linear Agent would be once it’s out of beta. it’s great that we can use it for all sorts of things but it’s not sustainable right?

Linear Agent, I have been nothing but respectful to you even in debugging sessions. Just want to put it out here… you know, for future reference…

@thenanyu first principle of building team agent: be where conversations are happening

Talked to an enterprise customer today who told me that their biggest power user of Linear does it almost exclusively through MS teams. For a certain class of user chat is 100% the best interface to interact with all of their software.

@JamesZmSun uninstalling claude code now…

We are super excited to launch the in-app browser inside Codex with comment mode! View any web pages & iterate with your agent quickly with just point and click. Codex will automatically capture a screenshot, the DOM element, and feed it as precise context to your next chat. No more switching between browsers, dragging screenshots, and wrangling with underspecified prompts. It's great for front-end development of apps/pages, but also very useful if you have documentation pulled up on the side and just want to ask a question!

@lennysan @firstround really inspiring story and thank you for all the great work you put out there!

I rarely do interviews or talk about my personal life, but I made an exception for the team at @firstround. Their writer spent hours at my house. We talked about why I started Lenny's Newsletter, what motivates me to keep building it, and a lot of things I don't usually share publicly. It's an intimate look at what my life is actually like outside of what most people see on the podcast. Check it out: review.firstround.com/reluctantly-in…

@GergelyOrosz @fncischen hopefully the @linear guys can still hold the bar for quality

When you look at the big 5 tech companies, you understand something is missing: Apple: Quality degrading across the ecosystem Amazon: Day 2, quality only getting worse Microsoft: pushing Copilot everywhere (AI slop) Google: pushing Gemini everywhere (AI slop) Meta: ads, ads, ads

@robjama @raphaelschaad definitely a downgrade after Notion bought it. RIP Cron.

if notional calendar is the after - here's the before. s/o @raphaelschaad for sweating the details

best designed macOS .dmg award goes to Raycast, Granola and Boom

@5laurie8 @Kpop_Herald @Gaceri1 @bts_bighit Try booktranslator.app

I really want a copy of this book in English translation. Not for entitlement, but because my grandson is on the spectrum and I would like to coordinate with his current therapies. Unfortunately I don’t read, speak, or understand Korean. Is there any chance the clinic and or Yoongi would produce the book in other languages for many of us outside of Korea that would like to utilize the program?

#SUGA of @bts_bighit has been officially credited as a co-author of a clinical manual focused on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) treatment📖 SUGA contributed to the “MIND Program,” a book that provides a music-based social skills training curriculum for children and adolescents with ASD. The idol previously led the establishment of the ‘Min Yoongi Treatment Center’ through a $3.4 million to Yonsei Severance Hospital in 2025 to support therapy and social independence for youth. #SUGA #BTS #민윤기

@rubenhume makes no sense to me

Apple shipped macOS Tahoe with an icon next to every single menu item. And in doing so, destroyed the entire point of icons. An icon is a signal, and signals only work through contrast. The moment everything has one, none of them mean anything, you've just added noise that looks like clarity. Apple even reuses the same icon for completely different actions. The right menu is my take: icons only on the actions you actually reach for daily: New Window, New Tab, Close. Everything else stays clean. Your eye knows exactly where to go. The left is Tahoe. Every item screaming at the same volume. Apple's own 1992 design guidelines called out every single one of these mistakes. Thirty years later, they made all of them. Adding more is not the same as adding value. What's your take?

To make a team-level agent work well, I think there are several principles: 1. The agent must have permissions and data access to all tools used by the team, ensuring a single agent can obtain all the context available to any human; 2. The agent’s interaction entry point must exist within any tool used by a person, ensuring that when people use other people or tools, interactions with the agent go through a unified entry interface; 3. The agent must be able to autonomously maintain and manage a unified memory or history that syncs across sessions from a single member and across multiple team members, so the agent’s capabilities can continuously evolve.

@sergeynazarovx perfectly handled it by not getting married

founders, genuine question for you how do your partners react when you’re 100% focused on building? i always have little quarrels with my wife about my attention. i work 9–5 and build Screen Charm on the side. it takes almost all my time, and sometimes i forget things, which makes my wife upset. she even feels a bit jealous of the product. but at the same time, i feel like without putting in this level of effort, both building and promoting nothing will work. and if you’re not willing to sacrifice a lot, what’s the point of trying? how do you handle it?

@gregisenberg there are business triggers and there are personal triggers. i’d assume Apple still has a strong hand in the game because they basically own all personal hardware, which has a lot of sensors gathering data to be triggered by personal behavior.

claude code just shipped routines you tell it what to do, point it at your project, set a trigger, and it runs 24/7 on their servers with your laptop closed i immediately thought of larry ellison: "the money is never in the technology, it's in the infrastructure the technology runs on" the model is the commodity. the trigger is the product. and whoever maps the most valuable real world events to the most specific industry workflows is going to build something massive here's what i mean by trigger.... a permit gets filed. a customer's usage drops 40% in a week. a competitor launches a feature. a deal sits in your pipeline untouched for 14 days. a contract hits 90 days before renewal. a stripe payment fails. these are all triggers. some public, some inside your own tools and every single one is a moment where an AI agent can step in and do something valuable before a human gets around to it the playbook is like this: map every trigger that matters in one industry → wire an AI agent to each one → sell the outcome. the person who shows up first with exactly what someone needs at exactly the right moment wins the deal every time and the people who go embarrassingly deep on one industry's trigger map are going to build generational companies that's the entire game right now for people reading this tweet. claude routines, openclaw, hermes etc... the infrastructure is all here. just pick your niche build audiences/content to get awareness wire the agents to triggers start selling and pinch yourself that this is the greatest time in history to be starting a company let's go

@damengchen i have a schedule to let AI scan my current GitHub codebase and Intercom Q&A to automatically draft new help center articles. works pretty well for me lol. maybe you can give it a try.

We have help center docs, but I hate them! If AI can answer, no one wants to read the doc. Users are lazy. And keeping docs up-to-date is PITA! The code is already in the repo. AI can read it and explain it. The help center feels just like busywork.

@gthartley @karrisaarinen i'd say this for Dario, but not Sam. he's just an opportunist.

@DottChen @karrisaarinen Yeah agree they’re not in the same league as Jobs, Musk, but both Sama and Dario have built things that are changing the world (and didn’t really exist).

I keep thinking I miss having someone like Steve Jobs in the industry. He had some standards. He cared about quality, coherence, and making great products. He could be ruthless and he had plenty of flaws, but it still felt like he and Apple were trying to make something genuinely great above all else. They had their opinions and you could respect that. They didn't try to force you, but make their case why they think it's good. Now tech feels driven by trend chasing, fear, scale, revenue comparisons, endless games and everyone talks their book. Investors come first, business goals next, and users last if not at all. I wish there would still someone like Steve still around

@thenanyu @Gavmn maybe it's a bad ides to stay on top of it at the first place. too much noise rn.

@Gavmn bro you need to be unemployed to stay on top of AI news

I thought working at a frontier lab would make it easier to stay on top of ai news...

@gthartley @karrisaarinen definitely not the later two

@karrisaarinen Elon, Dario, Sama

@jpschroeder still way better than claude code though

I can’t get over how great Codex is, and how horrible it is at UI.

@hridoyreh it’s quite an exciting journey

@kennethnym now vercel has no moat

cloudflare's dashboard got 100x better since the start of the year and not enough ppl are mentioning it

@petergyang @nikitabier @AngelaBelcamino yeah. so much noise on the timeline just doing rephrasing

@nikitabier @AngelaBelcamino You should also action on the people clearly using AI to post 20 hourly quote tweet summaries of random AI news

Dom Lucre said he posted 100 times in a week. Now that the money’s gone, so are the stolen clips every 15 minutes. Funny how fast “content creators” disappear when the $ do. Imagine if monetization disappeared entirely—this platform would look very different overnight.
