@MartinGTobias @Replit Just moved one of my Claude Code subs to Codex and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made all year. Codex for backend/reviewing and CC for frontend and qualitative reasoning
English
I am moving one of my small apps from @replit to Claude Code. So far 3 hours in and still removing Replit dependencies. I hope it is worth it. Will let you know.

When my wife was in business school, people would occasionally refer to someone else as "first-time cool" – meaning that they had been marginalized socially before (at prior jobs, college, HS, wherever), and were reinventing themselves in a new social arena. Often by trying a little too hard and aggressively leaning into prevailing social indicators in an off-putting way. For example – talking too much about extravagant trips, how drunk you got last night, or whatever bschool networking thing was most in vogue.
The result was that you had some people who were a little bit cringey and were also subtly trying to send various kinds of social status signaling into overdrive. It basically created an overclocked version of high school preening. It was viewed as pretty weak, especially for people in their late-20s / early 30s who were generally real adults.
(Also to be fair, calling someone first-time cool was obviously not very kind)
I think that SF tech has 2 things that create the dynamic in @deedydas's (very good, true, and sad) post:
* Status in the AI boom is essentially 100% indexed to $$$$
* There's a ton of people in SF tech who are first-time cool, and they're taking this extremely reductionist view of status and turning the intensity up to 11
For a super crude comparison – in NYC (the #2 tech hub), you don't get nearly as much of this feeling because there are other industries in town and other ways to have status than your tech compensation. Like making $5M/year at a frontier lab is certainly cool, but so is making $3M/year in finance. And it's also cool to be great at playing the piano or to have a great butt or to be athletic and 6'4".
I see this lightly breaking my friends' brains. We used to talk a lot about going back to the bay but at least as of right now I wouldn't be comfortable raising my kids in that environment.

The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I've ever seen. Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people - employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders - have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope AI estimation). Everyone outside that group feels like they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there. Worse yet, layoffs are in full swing. Many software engineers feel like their life's skill is no longer useful. The day to day role of most jobs has changed overnight with AI. As a result, 1. The corporate ladder looks like the wrong building to climb. Everyone's trying to align with a new set of career "paths": should I be a founder? Is it too late to join Anthropic / OpenAI? should I get into AI? what company stock will 10x next? People are demanding higher salaries and switching jobs more and more. 2. There’s a deep malaise about work (and its future). Why even work at all for “peanuts”? Will my job even exist in a few years? Many feel helpless. You hear the “permanent underclass” conversation a lot, esp from young people. It's hard to focus on doing good work when you think "man, if I joined Anthropic 2yrs ago, I could retire" 3. The mid to late middle managers feel paralyzed. Many have families and don't feel like they have the energy or network to just "start a company". They don't particularly have any AI skills. They see the writing on the wall: middle management is being hollowed out in many companies. 4. The rich aren’t particularly happy either. No one is shedding tears for them (and rightfully so). But those who have "made it" experience a profound lack of purpose too. Some have gone from <$150k to >$50M in a few years with no ramp. It flips your life plans upside down. For some, comparison is the thief of joy. For some, they escape to NYC to "live life". For others still, they start companies "just cuz", often to win status points. They never imagined that by age 30, they'd be set. I once asked a post-economic founder friend why they didn't just sell the co and they said "and do what? right now, everyone wants to talk to me. if i sell, I will only have money." I understand that many reading this scoff at the champagne problems of the valley. Society is warped in this tech bubble. What is often well-off anywhere else in the world is bang average here. Unlike many other places, tenure, intelligence and hard work can be loosely correlated with outcomes in the Bay. Living through a societally transformative gold rush in that environment can be paralyzing. "Am I in the right place? Should I move? Is there time still left? Am I gonna make it?" It psychologically torments many who have moved here in search of "success". Ironically, a frequent side effect of this torment is to spin up the very products making everyone rich in hopes that you too can vibecode your path to economic enlightenment.

The Claude meltdown makes ZERO sense to me honestly. They allow you to use every app in their ecosystem with elevated usage numbers, which is exactly what you want if you are locked into Claude ecosystem (desktop app, design, remote control, etc.)
If you want third party harnesses, there are MANY good models already. Why is it so important to use Opus on some random third party inference? There are models equally good, use them!

We're launching a huge SDK credit simplification on June 15: * Agent SDK/-p draws from a new bucket instead of your interactive limits (which stay exactly the same) * Every plan comes with $20-$200 of monthly SDK credits * You can use 3P tools like T3/OC with these credits

@noahzweben Hey Noah, this is deceptive messaging I’d expect from OpenAI. Please do better. It erodes trust. I’ll be migrating to Codex unless this is reversed

Starting June 15, paid Claude plans can claim a dedicated monthly credit for programmatic usage. The credit covers usage of: - Claude Agent SDK - claude -p - Claude Code GitHub Actions - Third-party apps built on the Agent SDK
English
@lydiahallie What an absolute disaster. Was hoping to stay with you guys but this is clearly the line
English
To add some clarity: you don't pay extra. It's the same subscription, same price per month.
What's new our sub now covers two separate pools:
· Interactive → sub limits, unchanged
· Programmatic → new $20–$200 included(!!) credit, metered at API rates

Raiders of the Lost Ark is a perfect movie, maybe the only perfect movie. Every scene, every line, every beat propels the story forward.

The Best 'Exposition Dump' in Film History. In 5 minutes, Spielberg lays out the characters, mythology, locations, artifacts and the entire narrative engine of the film. The audience discovers everything alongside Indy + each detail pays off later. A masterclass in storytelling.

I know this sounds insane
I read "Extraordinary Popular Delusions: And the Madness of Crowds" as a teenager
I thought AI would likely have a bubble phase 18 months ago
But now I think this is 1000x bigger than the Industrial Evolution
This is an evolution of our species
Geiger Capital@Geiger_Capital
Have you considered the possibility that it’s not a bubble and the world is indeed changing at a pace humanity has never seen before, anon.

@LeverNews @davidsirota @grahamformaine There’s a large faction in tech that isn’t down with the sickness and I hope gauche hand-wavy messaging towards an entire vertical isn’t propagated without further deliberation. You need allies everywhere, even at the vanguard of technology, especially AI

How did America go from Obama to Trump?
Maine Senate candidate @grahamformaine tells @davidsirota it wasn’t some great mystery: Democrats bailed out banks, abandoned working people, and let corporate power keep running the party.
