Five years at the spaceship. Wins, losses—growth. The greatest professional privilege of my career. Grateful for the people, the lessons…the mission. Just getting started.

@techgirl1908 Very tough and exciting problem space that requires fundamental research in my mind. Memory degradation and supersession are important components too.

The more I work with agents, the more I'm convinced that "just give it more context" can't be the whole answer. I'm not seeing enough discourse about memory. More specifically, memory design... like what gets stored, what gets retrieved, what gets summarized, what triggers the agent to look things up again. I'll be spending time with @oracledevelopers soon, getting hands-on with agentic memory patterns. Very excited to get into the weeds!

@thesunshinejr I agree, and I think those constraints are well understood. Agents will continue to generate code at increasingly high volumes, rendering manual review unsustainable. So, what do we do?

@bugKrusha I think the issue here is a determinism of both prompt and the code it generates

The compiler analogy is directionally useful even if claims about it being technically wrong are true. So let’s just chill and start there. I want to prove behavior at system boundaries. I don’t want to have to review every line of code coming from agent deluges 🤦🏾‍♂️

.@naomiosaka knows ball.

@DanielStormApps 😂😂😂 we gotta do better

@bugKrusha Same but it’s clothes in the dryer

My plate of food when I put it in the microwave for the sixth time and walk back to my computer.

pro tip: just run this in your terminal and your computer wont sleep

anthropic is the most successful model lab when it comes to getting their products into enterprises. it is astounding to me that people on the internet think that their feelings towards anthropic matter in the real world. i'm 100% sure they'll be one of the not so many big winners of this entire hype cycle.

The LeBron/MJ debate is funny because I feel like the older you get, the MORE you should appreciate what LeBron is doing right now

This is the the quote I've been citing a lot recently.

That 30 minutes in a corporate hotel room between the last conference session and dinner with your colleagues will have you questioning your entire existence

SF Native here- the whole post is about SF tech. Go to the redwoods. Go to Santa Cruz. Make friends with dog walkers, doctors, bartenders. Get involved in the food culture (and the after parties). Go see some live music. Stare out at the bay while eating seafood in mission bay. Have a picnic with friends in Golden Gate Park. Ride a boat in stow lake. There’s so much more to the city than the tech climb and grind. You can be in tech without having it swallow you whole.

6 months ago, I moved to San Francisco. It’s the best place in the world to build, and one of the worst places to stay human. My unfiltered take: 1. SF is both overhyped and underrated The overhyped part: there are a lot of people with incredible resumes who are deeply unimpressive in real life. They were at the right company, at the right time, in the right market, and got carried by the wave. They made money, got comfortable, and now spend their time “exploring opportunities” over coffee, wasting your time. The underrated part: the top 1% here is insane. But almost impossible to get. Hiring in SF feels like being a guy on a dating app: everyone you want is out of your league, and everyone in your league wants someone out of theirs. The best people have unmatchable packages, endless options, and are optimizing for maximum impact: labs, frontier companies, or startups raising $100M pre-seed rounds. If you raised $10M from Tier 1 investors, you’re not hot shit here. You’re a B-player. It’s humbling. 2. There are fewer mission-driven people than I expected Especially on the application layer. A lot of people are in “secure the bag before it’s too late” mode. And honestly, it gives me the ick. The real religious builders I’ve met are often in labs, hardware, biotech, deeptech, defense — places where the work is hard enough that you can’t fake obsession. 3. The status game favors builders This is what SF does better than anywhere else. It rewards obsession. It rewards weirdness. It rewards people who make building their entire personality. Europe punishes that. SF gives it status. If you’ve felt like an outsider your whole life because you care too much, work too much, think too radically, or refuse to be chill about things that matter, this city will make you feel less insane. 4. The market liquidity is absurd Even if you don’t build a billion-dollar company, if you manage to build a strong product with a great team, someone smart might still acquire you for $ 100M. Yeah I know, it’s not your dream outcome as a founder, but on the days you feel desperate, it helps to keep going. 5. SF does not care about the meaning crisis that’s coming Anyone paying attention here can feel that something massive is happening with AI. But I’m shocked by how little people talk about the meaning crisis coming next. Everyone wants to talk about AI liberating humanity. Almost no one wants to talk about what happens when work — the thing that gives most people identity, structure, dignity, status, and purpose — starts disappearing. The vacuum will not be peaceful. People are underestimating the chaos that comes from humans suddenly having no idea why they matter. And I really feel like no one cares. 6. Personally, I’ve never been more unhappy I moved to SF and entered the matrix. I’ve always been intense. I’ve always worked crazy hours. But here, I lost the last parts of myself that were not about building. I don’t go to events. Most networking events feel like theater for people pretending to be important. The only events worth going to are small, curated dinners with people who are actually alive. I’ve made 0 real friends. I don’t do well with transactionality. I don’t do well with people constantly performing greatness. I don’t do well with rooms where everyone is optimizing and no one is being honest. So yes, SF is lonely, transactional, delusional, addictive, inspiring, boring, extraordinary, and completely insane. But it is still the only place to be right now if you’re a founder trying to build the next wave of humanity. And for now, that’s enough.

Capitalism strikes again—compute is free! Na? 😂

SGA changed Dillon Brooks’ jersey to say ‘Cancun on 3’ 💀 “Everybody wants to be villainous until the brooms come out and the dust settles and you realize who the villain is.”

new walk of shame: agent still working, but the cafe closed

Exciting news! The Authentication Experience team at Apple, which brings you the Passwords app, passkeys, AutoFill of codes from Messages and such, and a lot more, is hiring a software engineer! [1/2] jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…

there will this brief era where we can watch our AIs bumble around on the computer clicking things, failing sometimes, taking a ~human amount of time to write code. in the blink of an eye they’ll be manipulating computers far too quickly to monitor
