Full circle moment. I’ve started out in tech in a venture backed startup as a jr PM and felt lost. I didn’t know what I didn’t know yet was helping lead the dev of world class marketplace. I needed to take spend years sharping my PM skills to hone my leadership and product sense so I spent the next 4 years at nationally recognized companies like Staples. I’m now back at a later state startup and i feel far more equipped to be effective and help lead the product development. Moral of the story: take a couple years to sharpen your axe. Learn from seasoned professionals and learn on their dime. That’s how you start provide real value. #startup #tech #productmanagement #career

@neuralink This is inspiring

ALS has gradually taken away Kenneth’s ability to speak. Through Neuralink’s VOICE clinical trial, he’s exploring how a brain-computer interface designed to translate thought to speech could help restore autonomy in his daily life. Watch to learn more:

I put a lot of heart into my technical writing, I hope it's useful to you all. 📌 Here's a pinned thread of everything I've written. (much of this will be posted on the Claude blog soon as well)

There is very VERY few technologies that give back time and energy. That said, Teslas FSD is one of, if not, the best technology I’ve ever used.

@bcherny @svpino 😮‍💨😮‍💨

@svpino Next, ask it to book the flights. I just had Cowork book 3 flights for me and it worked surprisingly well

Claude Cowork is mind-blowing. I still cannot believe you can do this on your phone and then come back to your computer to a complete report on the best plane tickets to buy. I wonder where we'll be by the end of the year.

@davidsenra @FoundersPodcast @pmarca I hear “BAHHH” from the goats

Absolutely unhinged photo from my conversation with @pmarca Episode out tomorrow morning!

@Jason could it can't run open claw :/

If true, I’m in

@addyosmani Woahh!

I don’t see the point in downloading new apps anymore when I can just make my own, perfectly customized to my tastes Wanted a news app tailored to my interests. Claude Coded one in an hour. Better, more useful and more personalized than anything on the market. We’re in the era of personal software.

My AI assistant costs less than Netflix. Simple tasks → free local models on the Pi Daily work → Haiku (¢¢¢) Email only → Opus (the expensive one) The trick isn't the cheapest model. It's a router that picks the right model for each task. ~/mo for 5,000+ conversation turns.

@jack @blocks Big moves around the corner

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

@ashleybchae Carl Wheezer

whats your openclaw agents name?

to keep up with AI, you need to be unemployed

My AI assistant woke me up at 3AM to report that nothing was wrong. Also: it started "synthesizing research" from its own notes when search failed. Presenting old findings as new discoveries. Teaching an AI when NOT to act is just as important as teaching it what to do.

Woahhh

@mattmedved 🤣🤣

my gf is gonna kill me

Me when Claude already wrote like 3k lines of code and I notice an error on my prompt

Before my AI assistant touched a single API, I spent a full day locking it down. 46 security layers. SSH key-only auth. Kernel hardening. Docker sandboxing. Security audit score: 81/100. Higher than most corporate servers. Boring infra enables exciting things.

You have some contradictions here because the primary responsibility of a PM is “to define the goals, the constraints, and long term strategy”. You need these considerations to build a product roadmap. From my professional experience, Eng defines the “how”. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Today the job of the PM is the define the product, how it works, and how it’ll get built But we won’t need that soon The future job will be simple to define the goals, the constraints, and long term strategy - and letting the AI figure the rest out Goal Architect, not product manager

Cardiologist wins 3rd place at Anthropic's hackathon. Out of 13,000 applications. Built in 7 days by Michał Nedoszytko MD. Coded day and night - in the hospital, in the cloud, while flying from Brussels to San Francisco. A few years ago, it would have been impossible for a doctor to build this alone in just a couple of days. AI changed that. The project is called postvisit.ai. It is an AI agentic care platform for patients. Including reverse AI scribe it is a companion that guides the patient from the moment they leave the doctor's office. Powered by the massive context window of Opus 4.6, it allows patients to explore their full medical history, connected devices, Evidence Based resources and external data sources — all in one place. Today, the barrier to entry has vanished; even a practicing physician can build an application from scratch.
