@shamusmadan Expect a message from me ;)

I'm giving a Rolex to the next person I hire. The job is something your parents would hate. Be addicted to social media. We're looking for someone who is willing to live on LinkedIn. We write posts for CEOs of billion-dollar companies. Send me a message with something you’ve created. Must be based in NYC or willing to relocate.

Peak hour @claude_code 4AM , i’m so finished.😭

@Jayyanginspires Felt genuinely uncomfortable reading that last line , ewugh , could never be me.

I don’t want to hang around casual people. Give me the person that has dreams so big it makes others uncomfortable when they say it out loud. Give me the person who spends their weekends obsessing over their craft. Give me the person who doesn't get jealous when those around them are winning. Life is too short to play it cool, give half effort, and accept mediocrity.

When I spend 1M tokens and the <div> still isn't centered

@nicksaraev Who would’ve thought I would wake up to reading YT comments being game theori-fied..😭

Many people ask why I spend so much time replying to YouTube comments. My answer: replies are statues. There is a non-zero chance each will accumulate views for thousands of years. Data takes a while to degrade, after all! I am optimizing for the far future.

The way you think about your business physically alters your brain. This is not hyperbole: the various wrinkles and rivers of your cortex change in response to the growth and pruning of various neuronal axons and dendrites, which occurs naturally every time those neurons fire. Example: when you think "my business is exciting, interesting, challenging, and rewarding", you strengthen the connections between positive concepts and the work that you do. Unfortunately, when most people think about their career, they do so with negative connotations: “how many hours did I work today?” “what work did I get done?” "rise and grind", etc. The very way these entrepreneurs think about their business applies a negative connotation to it. That negative connotation changes the physical structure of their brain, making similar connotations more likely in the future, which negatively impacts their willingness, interest, and passion for their business. It is obvious to say, but: don’t do this. If there’s progress you want to make in life, you'd do well to think about said progress positively. At the very least, eliminate the term "work" from your vocabulary.

@nicksaraev The behavioural neuroscience is behavioural neuroscience-ing.😹

@thedankoe Feeling this in my teens lol , just got to leave them behind sadly.

At some point, usually in your 20s, you'll notice that the people around you stop believing in themselves. And no matter how hard you try, you can't save them. By all means, do not let it infect your mind. Stay on your path.

@gregisenberg The college student with the most scroll time is probably the perfect person to hire for this job.😂 considering their attention span isn’t cooked.

We'll soon see the rise of the "Chief Clipping Officers" at companies The person who figures out the 47 second moment inside the 2 hour podcast that gets 10M views Probably will be the highest paid marketing hire of 2027

@James_paul_dev @bcherny If this was instagram i’d ask for a pin of shame.😭

@bcherny i know, i should not ask this but i wanna know when opus 4.8 will be released.

Dogfooding Opus 4.7 the last few weeks, I've been feeling incredibly productive. Sharing a few tips to get more out of 4.7 🧵

@bcherny HELLLL YEAHHHHH

For those not seeing the increase, make sure you're using Opus 4.7 with the latest Claude Code

Opus 4.7 uses more thinking tokens, so we've increased rate limits for all subscribers to make up for it. Enjoy!

Anthropic just shipped Claude Opus 4.7. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Opus 4.6 came out in February. That’s roughly just two months. And if you look at the ACTUAL release cadence… Anthropic has been releasing major updates approximately every two weeks since January 2026 , including new products like Cowork, Claude Code updates, and now a design tool that sent Adobe, Wix and Figma shares down over 2% in the hours after the news broke. Let that land for a second. Every two weeks. New models. New products. New capabilities. Each one materially different from the last. Meanwhile most founders are still trying to figure out how to integrate the version that came out two cycles ago. This is the competitive dynamic nobody’s naming clearly. The race is far from “who builds the smartest model” now. Anthropic is setting a tempo that OpenAI, Google, and Meta are now being forced to match but cannot. Opus 4.7 itself is telling. Enhanced vision processing with three times the previous resolution capacity, improved instruction-following, a new “xhigh” effort level for deeper reasoning, and cybersecurity safeguards that auto-block high-risk uses. The model got meaningfully better. But the release also dropped alongside a Claude Code update with a “Routines” feature configure it once, give it a trigger, and Claude runs as a 24/7 cloud employee on Anthropic’s infrastructure . And it shipped the same week as a design tool that’s now competing directly with Figma and Adobe. Wild. Here’s what you actually need to clock. Ask yourself , if you’ve built enough internal flexibility to absorb new capability without rebuilding their entire stack every cycle. If every Anthropic release forces you to rethink your architecture you’re not building on AI. You’re reacting to it. The ones compounding have a clear thesis on what the model does for them, and treat each upgrade as a quiet efficiency gain, not a strategic pivot

Is it just me or does anyone else feel this unhealthily super important moral obligation to help everyone you love achieve their goals? Like do your best possible to help and guide them towards their goals. Be the pillar. Absolutely selfless. I don’t know , it’s super instinctive to me.🫡

@kmlzhn That’s crazy , congratulations.

just got accepted into yc startup school! who else is coming? let’s meet!!

@nicksaraev Words cannot describe how getting your hands dirty by market immersion has super high asymmetrical returns.🫡

If you are great at what you do and wish to improve your station in life, the straightest line path is to interact with the market as often and for as long as you can. Why? Because the market is a big sieve. Spend more time in it and you'll naturally rise upwards to your level.

@nicksaraev well deserved😮‍💨

This continues to scale.

Everyone else using @claudeai can you all stop please? I need claude code to go and pee.. I can’t hold it anymore.🤧

@nicksaraev Super goated stuff! Can’t help but binge and take notes.😼

This was an interesting period in my content creation journey. We experimented with a fundamentally new approach to both writing & editing, and (imo) it's some of my highest quality most info dense stuff. At the time it performed abysmally. But cool it's gaining traction now.

@Thrigananadoota Just stay in the game , don’t die , that’s all you have to do , you’ll figure.

How it feels coming back to your prime after a long downfall

@felixleezd Have you tried using Claude Code outside?

Claude Code is absolutely incredible but have you tried going outside?
