My first ever app is live for iOS and Android! it took me a month to go from idea and wireframe to fully build - add your home appliances - get answers from your manuals on preventative maintenance and repairs - save $$ on service calls 100% vibe coded with Claude

@trq212 @bcherny @adocomplete this is super annoying that Claude code will just continually spin up new tabs and browser tabs and windows instead of utilizing one space in chrome. Is this intentional? User error?

Anthropic would have built this in a day and a dev would have tweeted the news. At OpenAI, an exec is telling you about a plan. That gap tells you everything. In the last 7 days, Anthropic shipped Dispatch, channels, voice mode, /loop, 1M context GA, MCP elicitation, persistent Cowork on mobile, Excel and PowerPoint cross-app context, inline charts, and 64k default output tokens. Felix Rieseberg tweeted "we're shipping Dispatch" and you could control your desktop Claude from your phone that afternoon. Every launch came from an engineering account or a GitHub release. In the same 7 days, OpenAI shipped GPT-5.4 mini and nano. Redesigned the model picker. Sunset the "Nerdy" personality preset. Announced three acquisitions. To find a comparable volume of shipped product from OpenAI, you have to rewind to December. This is the most underrated difference in AI right now. Anthropic PMs don't write PRDs. Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, ships 10 to 30 PRs a day and hasn't written code by hand since November. 60 to 100 internal releases daily. Cowork was built with Claude Code in 10 days. The tools build the next version of the tools. Every cycle compresses the last one. Engineers are empowered to ship and announce. The entire org runs like a product team, not a corporation. OpenAI has the opposite problem. Fidji Simo is CEO of Applications, a title that exists because engineers aren't empowered to ship without executive approval chains. She joined from Instacart. Before that, a decade at Meta running the Facebook app. Since she arrived, OpenAI has acquired 12 companies for $11 billion in 10 months and announced a "superapp" consolidation through the Wall Street Journal. The exec responsible for shipping it is tweeting about "phases of exploration and refocus" on the product she hasn't shipped yet. That's what happens when you layer a Meta-style product org on top of an AI lab. Decisions go up. Shipping slows down. Announcements replace releases. Anthropic's product announcements come from the people who wrote the code. OpenAI's come from the C-suite and the press. One of those loops compounds. The other one meetings.
Fidji Simo@fidjissimo

Companies go through phases of exploration and phases of refocus; both are critical. But when new bets start to work, like we're seeing now with Codex, it's very important to double down on them and avoid distractions. Really glad we're seizing this moment.

A few end of week ships: You can now set effort to 'max' which reasons for longer and uses as many tokens as needed. This will spend your usage limits more quickly so you have to activate it per session. Hit /effort to try it.

@zarazhangrui It's even simpler. Trash your IDE and only operate in the CLI :)

Someone finally explained the IDE vs CLI thing in a way that clicked: IDE: when something breaks, you assume you didn't review the code well enough CLI: when something breaks, you assume you didn't give it enough context/tools/access One relationship has you covering for the AI. The other has you empowering it

To the people who say openclaw is absolute magic and increasing their productivity 100x... Are you still having to deal with it being a big dumb dumb buggy head several times a day? Where things just break randomly? Or do you truly have a magic system and setup where everything is just glorious and works perfectly?

@Zeneca My openclaw was dumb until I had GPT 5.4 cleanup the codebase and switched to Gemini 3 flash as my main model. Gemini 3 flash is a game changer it’s night and day between every other model. It’s like it was perfectly designed to be an Openclaw agent.

I accidentally discovered how to compress a month of research into 3 hours. A founder at a YC company showed me his Claude setup. I thought he was just fast. Then I watched him build an entire go-to-market strategy for a market he'd never worked in before. Here's exactly what he did: First: he didn't ask Claude to "research the market." He fed it 8 competitor landing pages, 3 earnings call transcripts, 12 customer reviews, and a Reddit thread of complaints. Then he asked one question: "What does every successful player in this market understand that their customers never say out loud?" Not "summarize these." Not "analyze the competition." The unspoken insight. The thing that takes founders 2 years of customer calls to figure out. But the next part is what broke my brain. He followed up with: "Now show me the 3 assumptions this entire market is built on, and what would have to be true for each one to be wrong." In 15 minutes he had the attack surface of an entire industry. The blind spots. The fragile consensus. The opening nobody was talking about. Most founders spend 6 months doing customer discovery just to find one of those. Then he did something I've never seen before. He asked: "Write 5 questions a world-class investor would ask to destroy this business idea, then answer each one using only the evidence in these documents." He spent the next 2 hours stress-testing every assumption. Every weak answer triggered a follow-up: "What's the strongest version of this argument and where does it still break?" By hour 3, he had a strategy deck that felt like it came from someone who'd spent a decade in the space. The tool didn't change. The questions did. Most people treat Claude like a faster Google. These founders are using it like a thinking partner who has read everything and has no ego about being wrong. The difference between 3 hours and 3 months isn't the amount of information. It's knowing which questions actually matter.

@alpniks @zarazhangrui This happens the first time you use it. Claude puts text behind the symbols and boxes the first time. Simply tell it to fix that or use chrome in Claude to inspect its work and it'll fix it. Bonus points add a memory item to never make this mistake again when using the MCP

@zarazhangrui I just plugged the MCP into Cursor but the results don't seem to be perfect. My local MCP server seems to be only using the endpoints for shapes and symbols (and no text) while writing content into my .excalidraw file. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Pro tip: Ask a coding agent to turn a codebase into an Excalidraw whiteboard diagram by using the Excalidraw MCP server Great way to visualize & understand the architecture
