I recently interviewed a junior in college. They started a takehome in Cursor, ran out of tokens, moved to Codex free tier, then put $20 into Claude Code to finish.
I’ve also interviewed data scientists who haven’t touched any of these tools because their company hasn’t procured them.
I can definitely tell you who I'm more excited to work with.

I'm hiring a full-time design + growth engineer to take over one of my side projects.
Requirements:
1. Can build for humans and agents
2. Exquisite taste. Can do brand and product design
3. Lives in Claude Code/Codex/Figma AND PostHog. You don't just design, you track usage and cut your losses.
Salary:
Beyond flexible. Applicants with the conviction to be paid partly with a a percentage of revenue will be prioritized.
If you don't have conviction in your own ability to grow a consumer product 5x, please don't apply.
Currently making 36k/mo, but I'm confident it can hit 200k/mo with the right person taking over.
I simply don't have the time to work on it. Focusing completely on Claw Corp atm.

Last week, I shut down my startup, Floodify.
Before I get into it, thank you to everyone who followed the journey, believed in us, worked with us, invested in us, or trusted us with their music.
We had a crazy run.
What started as a thesis around frictionless organic distribution turned into working with all the major record labels, doing 50k+ posts per day at peak. We built across AI influencers, geo-targeting, sound linking, and large-scale distribution infrastructure. We scaled from 0 to 65k accounts, peaked at $1.5M ARR, and even got featured in Billboard.
But over time, it became clear that the original Floodify model was too operationally heavy and too cash intensive for a small team. We put our heart and soul into it, but things ultimately did not work out.
That said, the experience sharpened my conviction more than anything else.
I still believe distribution is everything.
If anything, this experience made me more interested in studying distribution from two angles.
The first is through a consumer-facing app as a wedge to build a pure distribution layer — one that separates content creation from distribution itself and treats distribution as its own distinct system.
The second is through a more forward-deployed, Palantir-esque model — where distribution may work better not as a one-size-fits-all product, but as something deeply embedded and tailored to each customer. I am still toying with that thesis.
I do think something in this category will exist in the future. I just think I understand the problem much better now than I did before.
To everyone who trusted Floodify with their music: thank you. And I am deeply sorry things had to end this way.
I also made a Floodify offramp, completely free — software that lets you run Floodify from home using the same, if not better, underlying technology:
offramp-five.vercel.app
For now, I’m taking a short break and reflecting on everything.
Thank you again to everyone who was part of the journey.

Wrote up a deep reference on integrating Claude Code + Spec-Driven Development + formal V&V into one closed-loop engineering pipeline.

None of the pieces are new individually. The contribution is showing how they compose into a coherent end-to-end methodology for agentic development at scale.

@aidenybai Sick!
My one concern is that most people building websites these days are having prompts address 20+ elements at a time.

i just used AI to identify a $100+ million opportunity for Seattle.
currently, to get across the water, you have to drive all the way around it, as cars don't float
this is extremely inefficient. but if you look closely, bainbridge island and seattle aren't actually all that far apart. and if we were to construct some sort of boat that carried cars, it could make the trip much quicker
together with claude code, i planned out this potential route for the boat
does anyone have any contacts in the local government?

@GrammarHippy Vercel is pretty solid
Until your website starts doing well and your compute bill goes hyperbolic...

@michael_chomsky Why wait for them to use that thing? Let's build for them where they are at now
Also, I made a reel talking about and this exact topic and used SetupClaw as an example
