When you start a business, Christensen says you're in emergent strategy mode. You experiment, you figure out what customers actually need, you keep changing achieves market fit. The problem is most founders aren't even aware of those strategies. The product works, customers are happy, and they keep experimenting like they're still searching for product-market fit. They add features, they add integrations, they add headcount. They mistake motion for progress, now with a lot more users. Once the product works well enough, the job changes. In Christensen words that's the deliberate strategy. Your task isn't finding new things anymore, it's making what you already have cheaper, faster, and more reliable. Stability and low-cost are essential. You can't burn VC money forever pretending the efficiency problem will solve itself.

@KeanuReevesYaga Yes and that's a good thing. You do have a problem with islam because everything you described is what that death cult is about, so that's being on the right side.

I have no problem with Islam. I am just against beheadings, stoning, marrying little girls, sexual slavery, taqiyya,slave trading, rape, jihad, burqas, child abuse, women abuse, animal abuse,multiple wives, murder, Sharia,terrorism, brainwashing, . Does that make me Islamophobic?

Right-wing wave in Europe. France 🇫🇷: Marine Le Pen now leading polls to be next President. Austria 🇦🇹: the Freedom Party is leading the polls massively at almost 40% Germany 🇩🇪: The AfD party now consistently number ONE in polls. Norway 🇳🇴: The Libertarian FrP party leading the polls by a wide margin. Something is changing in Europe.

Last week on The Engineering Tax, I wrote about what happens when the CTO watches a bad bet compound and stays quiet. The silence costs the company, but it's the rational move for an expert who got hired to advise and ended up taking orders. This week's article installs the protocol that makes that silence impossible. Every department translates what it wants into two numbers a CEO can actually act on: location and cost. If the expert can't produce both, he doesn't get to recommend a path. It also explains why story points survive across the industry despite being a non-convertible currency that generates distrust every time they hit a roadmap, and introduces the dignity threshold, the line between an advisor who defends his judgment and a yes-man paid to nod.

@AbhiCodes15 If you worry about who writes better code and not who designs better architecture, then you're not an engineer and you should be replaced as soon as possible, not by AI, but by a real engineer.

Breaking News 🚨🚨🚨 China has introduced a new divorce laws which says properties will no longer be shared 50/50 . You only take what you bought or what you contributed for . If a man owned properties before marrying you , it remains his properties . A man is no longer going to lose millions to you just because you married him and want a divorce . You will take just what you brought or contributed in . . With this new law , some women have expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction in it . Moral lesson : With this new law ? Divorce rate might decrease by the end of the year ❤️❤️❤️

“Switzerland 🇨🇭 is expensive but quality is high” BRO Same freaking SWISS chocolate 5.2 euros in Switzerland 🇨🇭 3.7 euros in Poland 🇵🇱 Almost TWICE in Switzerland than in Poland. And it’s a Swiss f*cking product. Also Poland has 22% VAT while Switzerland has 8% VAT. I mean I don’t know about you but this seems crazy to me. And makes me feel like an idiot being based in Switzerland with a remote income 😅

99% of slop *does not* come from AI it comes from Humans, who have bad taste current AI models can build anything but it's up to YOU to know what to build if you suck at Product, no agent will save you

@DavidOndrej1 You're basically funding them for free. You could be as productive as you are now without paying those max subs but I don't think I will convince you.

All AI labs are optimizing for performance, but we need efficiency. They are still not getting that because people keep buying their models anyway and come here to complain without taking any action to solve that problem whatsoever. Except SpaceXAI. I think they will make a difference with Grok 4.5.

the $200/mo Codex plan used to be a steal I never hit the limits, even running multiple /goal loops with GPT 5.5 xhigh I could literally have 10+ agents running in parallel and would NOT hit the limit. ever. but now, with GPT 5.6 Sol, i hit the limits instantly even while running just 1-2 agents i'm not happy with this at all...

@metatransformr @fabrice_mayrand VC subsidy or there's a catch somewhere. AI labs are still far from making profits so I don't think another provider between them and users can make models cheaper.

This is insane Cheaper Inference is selling API access to most major models for 30% off. Use OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models through a drop-in OpenAI-compatible API. No contract, no migration required.
