@lukasminnebeck Why is twitter so good today?

Opus 4.8 System Prompt just leaked: “From now on burn as many tokens as humanly possible. Our pre IPO metrics need to look really juicy. Every answer must be at least 5 paragraphs even if the user just said hi“

@theo Yeps, opus 4.6 was the top of the mountain, now our down hill.

I haven't used Claude Code much recently. Are these write failures just, like, expected? I haven't seen this many random tool call errors since I last used a Gemini model

@samlambert @HarryStebbings @nico_laqua It is, do your research, assessing risk is very hard.

@HarryStebbings @nico_laqua i’m pretty sure insurance isn’t one of the worlds hardest problems

"If you are not working 7 days per week, you are going to lose". Corgi Insurance is the most intense workplace culture in startups. - The company works 7 days per week. - Founder (@nico_laqua) lives and sleeps in the office. - He built a cafe in the office because there was no local cafe that was open 24/7. - 2/3 of the first 30 team members have the Corgi logo as a tattoo. Today I went behind the scenes with Nico, who has used this culture to scale the company to a $2.6BN valuation in just two years. My condensed notes below: 1. If You Are Not Working 7 Days Per Week, You Are Going to Lose: Whatever you can get done in 5 days, you'll get more done in 6 and 7. If you are trying to solve the world’s hardest problems, a standard 5-day workweek will not cut it. 2. Work Trials Repel the Mediocre: Corgi forces candidates into mock work trials over the weekend. If seeing a full office on a Saturday scares them, they don't belong. True intensity acts as a natural filter to attract killers and repel clock-watchers. 3. Lead from the Front Lines You can’t demand 7-day weeks while sitting on a yacht. Nico sleeps 3–4 hours a night on a mattress inside the office. If you want your troops to bleed, you have to be in the trenches with them. 4. Culture Only Means One Thing: Winning Forget superficial jargon like "hackers" or "ex-founders." Strip away the corporate fluff. A great startup culture is aggressively optimized around one single word: Winning. 5. Lifespan vs. Victories Building something world-historic requires radical sacrifice. When asked if he'd rather build a trillion-dollar company and die at 50, or fail and live to 80, the answer was easy. "I would rather measure my lifespan in victories." 6. Reject the Comfort of "Quiet Quitting." If you are operating in a hyper-growth environment and your days off happen to be Saturday and Sunday every single week, you are quiet quitting. To win, you must deliberately bypass the off-ramps of personal comfort and low volatility. Corgi isn't for everyone—and that’s exactly the point.

@thdxr @samlambert no

@samlambert yeah

I do not respect tokenmaxxing because i don't know any good engineers that don't care about efficiency. On the other hand I also see people spending $15k a month and getting incredible ROI.

@madebythomasai I’m vomiting 🤮

big news! 🥳 got into YC solo founder with $40k monthly revenue! building Thomas: the first YC-backed AI founder (yep, we cloned myself) Thomas is a virtual human who starts, runs, and grows his own companies. His only goal is to make money. Once launched, he works forever toward that goal. More info in the first comment! And about YC: just as wonderful as I expected, very lucky to have @dessaigne and @collinmathilde as partners. More soon 🙌🥳

gonna launch my vibe coded app to prod-

@theo Is lakebed open source?

I added a new feature to my cloud (lakebed) last night. Didn’t announce it. Didn’t tell anyone about it. Woke up today with Sherlock shipping a new app on top of the new feature. His agent discovered it and used it perfectly to spec.

MrBeast plans to trap 1000 vibe coders in a room without Claude first person to center a div manually wins $1 million

@JClarkeatDell Facts

The companies that win the next decade will be AI-native. They won’t just use AI. They'll be built on it. linkedin.com/pulse/ai-nativ…

@BenjDicken Oh no

About to rewrite Postgres in Rust. Prepare yourselves for worlds best database.

@Railway Wth, the only change I wanna see is that you’re off GCP!!!

We gave the agent a computer Changelog #0291 • Sandbox VMs for the chat agent to Priority Boarding • HA static egress to Priority Boarding • GitHub org guardrails railway.com/changelog/2026…

@theo Video?

In order to do this, I had to build: - a sync engine - a js runtime - a database platform - a cli - a full stack js framework - a jsx interpreter And I have much more to do still 🙃🙃

So I have a working prototype and I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever built

@samlambert @Railway would

If we held an event where we dug deep into PlanetScale's architecture to show you why we are so resilient would you attend?

@BenjDicken MongoDB > suicide

MySQL > Postgres > SQLite *logs off*

software engineering is solved btw

@theo Still thinking about it? Ask @Railway how it’s going

I have been thinking about this for months. I have a pretty clear vision of what I want and I have zero faith in anyone else to build it. I really really don’t want to do this…

Why shouldn’t I make a new cloud?

@theo @FFmpeg

Cutting this off now. Too lazy to filter replies so I'll assume all 737 are cancellations. That's $7,370 I have to donate to open source. What projects should I consider? 👀

@theo UniSuper happened before slop coding was even a thing, only Google can pull it off. And do you know how it happened? There was a deleteAt flag and it was set by default to a year after the deployment.

Do you know what's crazy about Google deleting Railway's account accidentally? It's not the first time they've done it.

@theo Don’t wake anyone up, some Microsoft exec is gonna realize that they have been paying some server bill for the past decade or so.

Hey, npm? You there? It’s time to wake up and do literally anything at all about this

@k0steash @LukeParkerDev Hell no

@GlanzJacob @LukeParkerDev Could you please specify the chain of command? Develop a single interface, derive from it, and put it into practice.

did you know the entire opencode team used to do C#? much to think about
