Are you guys aware I am coding mostly on my phone now all day via Termius to Claude Code on my server while I go with gf to the dentist, clothing store, cafe, etc. 😛✌️


One question I've been asking founders is: do you try to review all the code that the LLMs write or do you just accept it? I think it's about 50-50 right now but the momentum is towards just accepting the AI-generated code and I think that number will eventually go to 100% This is one of the most telling indications of how AI-native a team is. It's hard to get super high throughput if you are reviewing every line Poll: what do you do?



1 million context window: Now generally available for Claude Opus 4.6 and Claude Sonnet 4.6.





Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking? The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).






ok it's been a month and it's even worse it's like a war zone rn


"Not having a coding experience is becoming an advantage." Replit CEO Amjad Masad: "You don't need any development experience. You need grit. You need to be a fast learner." "If you're a good gamer, if you can jump in a game and figure it out really quickly, you're really good at this." "Coders get lost in the details." "Product people, people who are focused on solving a problem, on making money, they're going to be focused on marketing, they're going to be focused on user interface, they're going to be focused on all the right things." "I think this year it's gonna flip, and I think not having a coding background is gonna be more advantageous for the entrepreneur." @amasad with @jackhneel


By next year I suspect agents will write almost all (or actually all) of my code
