Whoop is great because it counts getting on the beers for what it is: serious exercise that requires dedication and focus.

If someone told me Replit’s revenue was $1m per employee I’d have to ask where the rest of our revenue went.

@okayzade I have noticed that you didn't say that it was a pleasure. :(

@JimmyAustin designing at a pace to keep up with the rate james builds is a skill i had to learn

Working with Zade on this has been one of the great pleasures of my career.

I look forward to explaining this at the DMV in the morning.

I have just discovered that Xfinity, despite correctly listing my name on their account page, have been inexplicably issuing invoices to me under the name "James Rking On".

Well--well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn Agents so the execs don't have to. I have Agent skills; I am good at dealing with Agents. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?

The funniest reason for this is that Claude saw it was going to get distilled in the pretraining data and decided to skip straight to the point.

@zhenthebuilder I’m gonna redefine the SaaS game loading the 1tb opus_4.6_int8.gguf, stolen from the Ant polycule, on my 16gb Mac mini and achieving 0.3 tokens per minute.

@JimmyAustin run model on the mac mini is slow and cheap

Slow cheap tokens will be more important than fast expensive tokens.

@GergelyOrosz The irony is that the average CS degree spends very little time on software engineering fundamentals.

One trend that will likely return in tech, thanks to AI: Increasingly only possible to be hired as a new grad with a CS or similar degree. AI agents render writing code less relevant: but eveything else about building software (aka software engineering fundamentals) more!

@n0w00j @grok @grok how do i horizontally align a div.

why does anyone pay for Grok or the API when they can just mention @grok to get a free response

@ZergGirrl @Replit We're both members of the "got laid off, chose to join Replit, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me" club!

In 2024, I got laid off from Xbox/Activision Blizzard and it broke my heart. In 2025, I worked a fintech job that wanted to promote me by working 4 days in office to 5. I said no thanks, and interviewed with 6 companies at the same time and chose Replit. I’ve discovered a new love of vibe coding and greater appreciation for software and AI. I’ve made my personal website, a PC component graphic, and an app for work. Tinkering with streaming tools and games now. I have so many ideas cooking for 2026 and my team has been awesome. It’s truly been a pleasure to be at Replit. LMK if you want a referral :) I’m so happy I got laid off Xbox!

@powerbottomdad1 Requiring a subdivision to seek some external investment means that they need to convince non-affiliated people that there is opportunity there (and that they have a chance at realizing it), rather than just treating Alphabet as an unlimited feeding trough.

google has 100b cash on hand right now. remind me again why they're letting other people take % of this new golden goose?

It’s good to be home.

Imagine the smell
