I'm not gonna say this is a bad thing without looking at the limit first. If it is like $10/day limit, it is stupid. If it is $200/day it is probably okay If someone is hitting $200 everyday, they should have a good explanation, or they are just creating shovels for lulz.
Dharmesh Ba@dharmeshba

A friend told me his Bangalore startup has allocated Claude Code limits for every engineer. If an engineer hits the limit faster than others, he is expected to give an explanation. We are not losing to AI. We are losing to f**king bureaucracy.

@trq212 as long as you keep that $200 plan- we’ll just keep spending compute until everything gets solved

an increasingly large part of the job of an engineer is deciding how much compute to spend on a problem

fantastic release! We now have The Law of Agent Cannibalism: Get super successful → raise at a huge valuation → now you must expand into everything. Lovable went from app builder to data science, marketing & decks. Everyone’s eating everyone else’s lunch. When shipping new features costs near zero, every company becomes every company. And when switching costs are also near zero - who wins? Next few months gonna be interesting.
Anton Osika – eu/acc@antonosika

Introducing Lovable for more general tasks. Lovable has always been for building apps. Today it also becomes your data scientist, your business analyst, your deck builder, and your marketing assistant. This is a big step toward what Lovable is becoming: a general-purpose co-founder that can do anything. See examples below.

Looking for obsessed builders. I invest up to $250K first checks in: • Robotics, drones, space • Applied AI/ML, models • Dev tools and infra • Manufacturing & logistics, and more... DMs open or just reply here what you are building. Early > polished.

i had a few automation workflows i did initially with claw, which worked OK. then tried doing it with Claude (esp. after the 1M context update) and it was just so much better at it. I still use my Claw for trivial stuff- like finding a good plane ticket, but more complicated stuff - I just find it easier to do it with Claude Code.

@swyx so this is essentially, someone looking over the agent while it’s performing the task?

btw emerging consensus is that identity-based authz for ai is the most important solution for security, esp if you want to break the binary decision between HITL-everything and —dangerously-skip-permissions keycard is the leading voice in this and now supports all koding agents
Keycard@KeycardLabs

Your coding agents inherit your credentials and your permissions. No identity system in the stack can tell the difference between you and the agent acting in your name. Today: Keycard for Coding Agents 🧵

@levelsio people are getting reactionary over Meta again. They did the same with Google

IMO, the analysis misses one key point. any game fought against Google in their core competency is most likely to fail. but the VC bet is on an one-off chance that Perplexity might just outdo Google and becomes the next trillion dollar company. my qualm with the analysis would be that: it's talking about optimization of outcomes in two separate games.

You just made my point for me. VCs know distribution is the constraint and are betting billions anyway. That makes it worse, not better. You’re saying “they understand it’s nearly impossible but they’re funding it as a lottery ticket on regime change.” That’s not a thesis. That’s hoping Google trips. The “future search market” bet has a 100% failure rate. Neeva had the exact same thesis with a better team. Microsoft had it with infinite capital. They all knew distribution was the problem. They all bet on breaking through anyway. The constraint didn’t change because they acknowledged it exists. Engineers voted Perplexity most likely to fail because they can see the unit economics don’t work even if you somehow solve distribution. Running LLM inference on every query while Google serves cache is backwards at scale. The people building AI products understand that slick UX doesn’t fix structural cost disadvantages.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ But I’m still rooting for Aravind and team. This isn’t hate. It’s analysis.

This post is such a ridiculous over simplification of how venture works. No VC is giving @AravSrinivas millions of dollars because he has a slick browser. They are betting on a possibility to capture the future search market. The example of Arc is absolutely short-sighted. No one but a bunch of nerds used Arc. Arc never managed to break through real normie distribution. As a former engineer, I wouldn’t take what engineers think about companies very seriously. Engineers are generally obsessed with technical challenges (as they should be). No one is saying @perplexity_ai is a technical feat. The attempt here is going to be about building an AI native search & browsing experience that will maybe someday replace the old guards. Yes, it’s an uphill battle due to existing distribution & that’s why VCs give him money. Not because he has a slick product. This post is ridiculous.
