GitLab's founder was told he has bone cancer. No trials would take him. Doctors signed off. So he went founder mode on his own survival. - Built his own treatments - Used AI to analyze his own tumor data - Open-sourced 25TB of his medical records for any researcher on earth Relapse-free since 2025. The system said he was out of options. He made his own.

PSA as this one passed me by at the time. If you use Starlink, your data is probably being used to train Grok. It's opt-out. Absolute scoundrels.

This is a much bigger deal than most people realize. If you don't know why, let me explain. Agents perform "work" right now by calling "tools". These are just pieces of context shoved into the context window saying "if you think you the next thing you should do falls into one of these categories, then respond with this format" — that format is the "tool" a JSONSchema response which a harness then uses to call a function. MCP, is best thought of as a way to shove more tools and context into your context window (it has a lot of shortcomings imo). The agent then has to pick which tool out of all the available tools it should call. So the more tools you have, the worse it selects the tools. @threepointone and @KentonVarda have an excellent article (blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode) where they introduced the idea of exposing the MCP tools as an SDK, so to call tools and compose them, the AI just does what it is ALREADY good at: write some code. The question, as always, is where do you run that code safely. Many have proposed sandboxes and containers as a possible solution, but these are hella slow and make the experience untenable. Thats what makes this announcement SO important, it allows you to run agent-written code in a matter of milliseconds with the explicit execution environment you specify pulled in (like a database, kv store, etc. Cloudflare calls these "bindings" btw). In practice, this means people can start building MUCH more effective agents that can *do* a lot more, because they can be exposed to more tools. Anyway, huge deal. Congrats to the CF team.

We’re introducing Dynamic Workers, which allow you to execute AI-generated code in secure, lightweight isolates. This approach is 100 times faster than traditional containers. cfl.re/4c2NvPl

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $10M net worth. Travel anywhere. Total freedom. Quiet house. Quiet holidays. Option B: Married. 3 kids. $1M net worth. Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning. Loud house. Full dinner table. Be honest, which life are you choosing?

Worries that software developer jobs are going away are backwards. There is SO MUCH software to build right now, that previously wasn't possible (uses AI directly) or wasn't cost-effective (too niche). We're going to have more developers, and orders of magnitude more software.

Hey @yongfook We don’t know each other, but I have to admit you’ve been an inspiration to me in many ways. I remember stumbling upon your blog (Posterous?) and reading a post about your daily routine: wake up at 6, finish working before 12, then have a life… I was a teenager back then, and it was the moment I realized such a thing was possible. It might sound strange, but it was eye-opening for me. Since then I’ve always tried to optimize my schedule. Your products, Open Source Food, that jQuery game you made (don’t remember the name, but I remember digging into the JS source code :))… you have a very interesting and inspiring story! Keep it up! Your long-time distant follower - Otar :))

One of my favorite entrepreneurs on the internet is @yongfook When I started digital nomading in 2013, the scene of people traveling while working on their laptop was maybe a few thousand of people around the world. It was very very very niche. It didn't help that the internet in most of the world was still very slow, so if your job required anything more than basic internet you wouldn't be able to do it (forget video calls, it was too slow for that!) I started DNing in 2013, but after doing it for about 8 months I pretty much gave up, I flew back home, and the nomads I'd met weren't the cool nomadic startup founders I expected, it was mostly guys in neon tank tops selling shady stuff online, one guy sold illegal drugs to ship to America, many others had these get rich quick schemes, also related lots of MLMs (with those long ass pages and mailing lists), lots of shady affiliate marketing, oh and lots and lots of SEO spammers (remember the guys who'd destroy your seach results and you ended up on some page full of AdSense boxes?) It really just wasn't my crowd, not that I'm some moral knight, not at all, but I wanted to meet people building real businesses that made cool products, like stuff you could be proud of And you have to remember there wasn't many digital nomads around 2013. Like a top spot like Chiang Mai in Thailand would have maybe 50-100 at any time (not like now!). So the entire thing of "I'll fly to the other side of the world with my laptop" was lonely as frick, it's not like now where you just fly to Bali (or anywhere) and there's lots of people everywhere with their laptop doing this. It was super extremely niche!!! At the same time I was also going broke and running out of money (a story I told many times before), so I flew back to Netherlands and was back at my parents house, back in my childhood bedroom and back in my childhood bed, at age 28! In pretty much a full blown state of panic of what to do with my (in my perception) failed life, as you can imagine I remember browsing the web at 4AM on my phone and coming across @yongfook. He was a digital nomad, but he dressed nice (dandy suits, not neon tank tops!), and his businesses looked nicely designed and cool and were real honest products (providing a real service, not shady MLM shit) His main thing back then if I remember correctly was Beatrix, a social media assistant that would auto post for you but also find content to post for you (back then very very new) and it made money He would hop around Singapore to Bali to Penang eating nice street food, while making real cool startups, it was my dream life! And it was what I had tried doing the previous year, but I felt so out of place with the people I met that I thought I might as well give up But seeing @yongfook do it, I thought, okay there's this one guy doing it, maybe I can do it too, and even if it's just the two of us building cool startups while nomading, that already makes me feel less of an outcast. And when you're doing something that not many other people are doing, you kinda need some role model as a life line, to give you some false sense of confidence that you're going the right direction So a few months later I flew back to Asia, to Bali, now a new sense of dedication and energy, and that's when I wrote the first lines of Nomad List, which was my breakthrough project, made me famous and started my career in internet startups and in turn got millions of people to go digital nomad in the following years (many of which then became my friends, so I am not lonely anymore) One of the most important things that I tried to really consciously put in Nomad List back then was too "make digital nomading cool", not shady and dodgy but cool and stylish, and I think I did that, and that came directly from @yongfook!

Don't burn tokens on fixing things that the AI isn't good at fixing. Instead have the AI build a tool that can fix them quickly without burning tokens.

Indeed. @yongfook nails it. Productivity boosts will only affect those who are obsessed and motivated to build or improve. Building your own business or project? It’s a no brainer. Working for someone else with no interest or incentive to do more? It won’t work.

@orodruin24 what happens when those few outlier teams realise they have done years of work in months, and aren't being compensated accordingly. either they leave, or reduce their output to match compensation. either way it all seems to self regulate if you just start writing chapter 2.

The cost of code is coming down, so we will consume more of it. The productivity of coders is going up, so they will become more valuable. Coding now includes training and driving models.

Polymaths will dominate the next 5 years, but only if they practice the skill of knowing what to ignore. You can learn and do anything now, meaning that it will become increasingly rare for a person to put time, attention, and care into one thing.
