The Business Engineer

I connected my Meta RayBans to my OpenClaw so that I can manage my entire fleet of 20+ OpenClaw agents while out and about. It can see what I see, hear what I hear, and I can literally work an entire day while talking to my glasses out in the city in San Francisco. The future of work is here.


Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

Most tech companies break out product management and product marketing into two separate roles: Product management defines the product and gets it built. Product marketing wires the messaging- the facts you want to communicate to customers- and gets the product sold. But from my experience that's a grievous mistake. Those are, and should aways be, one job. There should be no separation between what the product will be and how it will be explained- the story has to be utterly cohesive from the beginning. Your messaging is your product. The story you're telling shapes the thing you're making. I learned story telling from Steve Jobs. I learned product management from Greg Joswiak. Joz, a fellow Wolverine, Michigander, and overall great person, has been at Apple since he left Ann Arbor in 1986 and has run product marketing for decades. And his superpower- the superpower of every truly great product manager- is empathy. He doesn't just understand the customer. He becomes the customer. So when Joz stepped into the world with his next-gen iPod to test it out, he fiddled with it like a beginner. He set aside all the tech specs- except one: battery life. The numbers were empty without customers, the facts meaningless without context. And, that's why product management has to own the messaging. The spec shows the features, the details of how a product will work, but the messaging predicts people's concerns and finds way to mitigate them. - #BUILD Chapter 5.5 The Point of PMs

If Huawei hadn't been banned from TSMC in 2019, @dylan522p thinks it would have already eclipsed Apple as TSMC's biggest customer. And that it would have better AI chips than Nvidia. Before it was banned, Huawei was actually the first to ship a 7nm AI chip — two months before Google's TPU and four months before Nvidia's A100.

The RAG era was short-lived, but intense. (Not that RAG is not useful, but it is no longer the dominant paradigm for supplying context to agents)

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer, and it is mentally exhausting. I can fire up four agents in parallel and have them work on four different problems, and by 11am I am wiped out for the day. There is a limit on human cognition. Even if you're not reviewing everything they're doing, how much you can hold in your head at one time. There's a sort of personal skill that we have to learn, which is finding our new limits. What is a responsible way for us to not burn out, and for us to use the time that we have?" @simonw

New Anthropic research: Emotion concepts and their function in a large language model. All LLMs sometimes act like they have emotions. But why? We found internal representations of emotion concepts that can drive Claude’s behavior, sometimes in surprising ways.

Some thoughts on Snap: savesnapnow.com


The first time I heard the name "Homer Sarasohn," it was an ex-@Apple engineer telling me there should bronze statues of the guy in Apple Park, Cupertino. "These ideas didn't come out of nowhere," the source said, when I asked about Apple's supply chain strategy. "It all goes back to what Homer taught in occupied Japan." "Sorry, who?" I asked. I was intrigued but entirely baffled. Occupied Japan? All I really learned in that conversation was the spelling of his name. I had told the source I was researching a feature on how Apple manufactures its products. He wished me well but said he wouldn't help. All he said was that Apple's supply chain strategy was important, ill-understood, and wildly counterintuitive. And that the key was this 29-year old engineer summoned to war-devastated Tokyo in 1946. Finally, nearly three years later, I've written a double-feature for the @FinancialTimes telling Homer's story, connecting it with why a struggling Steve Jobs discovered the value of "process" in 1990, and then how these ideas helped shape Apple's supply chain strategy in the decade now remembered as the greatest corporate turnaround ever. Why wasn't this in *Apple in China*, you might ask? Well, in my book pitch, I wanted it to be the opening chapter. But, structurally, that was difficult to pull off, and I worried that spending a few precious weeks studying 1940s Japan was a bad way to spend my book leave. Once the book was published I kept reading the few obscure articles about Homer. I even got to check out the Library of Congress archives, which has the Japanese textbook he wrote for top corporate executives, black & white photos of Homer in Japan, and much else. Then, two months ago, I realized Apple's 50th anniversary was probably the last chance I'd get. I wasn't sure anyone else would care, but the feedback has been great -- and part two really packs some oomph. I'm thrilled to have it published. Hope you enjoy! as.ft.com/r/9695f3b7-53f… as.ft.com/r/cc78ee1d-6ec…
