@ndrewpignanelli andrew wtf this is so good. ingenious interweaving of the irl and product demo

Announcing Cofounder 2: Run an entire company with agents. It's the infrastructure for the one person billion dollar company - orchestrating agents across engineering, sales, marketing, ops, and design. (and yes that's my real grandma in the video)

firstly, appreciating the considered approach to new features and what you are NOT building [picasso's bull etc] my primary struggle rn is that i want codex to be aware of a much broader set of context. the current architecture is so tightly tied to individual repos, but i want to work at a higher level. Symphony has been great, but its still difficult to be across it all and maintain momentum big unlocks would be: - memory (yet to see how chronicle helps here. surprised to see its focus on screen content when it feels like there's low hanging fruit from the text in the thread itself?) - codex pinging ME when my judgement is needed (via push notif if i am afk) - short lived automations in the context of a thread (would enable "hey codex check in on this in an hour") ty for your work, godspeed

What are we obviously not getting right with Codex?

@olvrgln this is as streamlined as i've got things so far: - i dictate to an agent - agent creates a linear ticket - I have symphony watching that linear board, so it picks up the task and takes it end-to-end through the pipeline

@_Jarrad_ I want slightly more than just dictation, i want action as well at least in some subset of apps. One shortcut press + talk = new linear ticket or smth like that

what's the best voice setup right now? whisprflow? how can i connect it to things like linear? I need a better way to track all the things i need to do and i want to dictate

@rjs in pursuit of the perfect roly-poly

Rolling Downhill Every technology creates new objects to think with. In the foreword to Mindstorms, Seymour Papert talked about how as a kid he played with gears, and he would visualize math problems as systems of gears in his mind. We all inherited a set of models from computing: input, output, layers of a stack, steps in a flow, etc. We use those models to structure our world and tackle the problems in front of us. Now we have something new. What is the model agents give us? It has to do with the gradient. We are thrilled by the joyful experience of rolling downhill. When AI does a ton of work for us all at once, that's what happens! You tee yourself up with a prompt, and then an incredible rush of detail unfolds. We position ourselves at the right spot in a high dimensional space where there is a gradient down. And boom, all the details fly out. Everything gets filled in. In this new world, the difference between UP and DOWN is everything. If you can position yourself where a lot of knowledge already lives, the path forward is literally downhill. But if the knowledge you want isn't already there -- if you're doing something new -- you can't just roll there. You have to build up first. By creating new structure. You have to climb uphill. I'm not saying "AI doesn't apply" in those cases. This is what is even more exciting. When we want to create something new, when we want that AI payoff -- that sudden explosion of detail filling in -- we know what to do! We deliberately create structure to roll down from. It's like coming up with the beats of a story that's never been told. Or the napkin drawing of the feature that doesn't exist. Or the new business that no-one else can see. What is leading a team if not prompting? What is releasing potential other than finding a system of gradients to climb over and roll down in a kinetic burst? I'm pretty sure this pattern is much bigger than what we do in a Claude Code terminal. And as we get a feel for it, we'll find this era gives us new ways to think about structure, novelty, and momentum.

@_lopopolo bullseye. loved your harness eng article, this is the obvious next step

This is my team h/t frantic who ships 75 PRs a week with Symphony. We shipped a spec. Come vibe your own

taste is the simple attunement to an internal barometer

this is lovely. but look. you don't have to wait for that person to show up in order to cut up the mangos. you don't have to hold all your love in a bottle until your prince or princess falls out of the sky. you can write the sticky notes and cut up the mangos. you don't have to ration it, hold it all in and let it ooze out of you at the first glance of someone liking you back. pull it out of you each day, in your texts to your friends and your calls to your mom and your glance at the barista. you'll find you don't run out, you'll find there's even more than you thought. if you let it out, there will be more and more mangos. if you let it out, there will be endless sticky notes.

@codyschneider hell yeah is this one banger creative you landed on after testing a ton, or a a spread?

@kepano too often overlooked! Some pics I collected of doors and their handles in Stockholm

@GabbyShires this is so gracefully written, wow

So as a deeply empathetic person (especially to animals) who also eats quite a bit of animal protein and who grew up in rural Ohio which is a heavy farming and hunting community - I have thoughts. 1) If you see things like this and you cannot make peace with it and decide to become vegetarian or vegan - that is completely valid!! I support your choice!! I am not here to convince you otherwise. Having a plant based diet is awesome and my only words of advice would be to ensure you’re getting enough plant protein but I’m completely sure you already know that 💖 2) At risk of sounding dismissive (which is not my intention), much of the obloquy I see around farming comes from people who may not be familiar with farming practices. This is a farrowing cage. The purpose of this cage is to prevent the sow (mother pig) from rolling over on her piglets when she is nursing. It’s meant to be temporary and not a permanent containment for the sow. You’ll also see devices for cows and horses that squeeze them or stabilize them in different ways. Out of context they seem inhumane but they are actually a net positive for the animal. A tremendous amount of thought is put into making animals as comfortable as possible and there are even these elongated swirling tracks for cows in slaughterhouses that calm them down before they are slaughtered and processed because when they are lined up in slaughterhouses they become horrified and it’s an incredibly inhumane experience for them. 3) Eating meat requires an animal to die. It’s sad. It’s hard to grapple with. Especially in the west where we live such clean and sanitized lives that are completely separated from any level of discomfort or burden - seeing the reality behind food can be distressing. My personal take is that when you have to see the reality of where food comes from and/or you are the one to take an animal’s life for your own sustenance, you appreciate the value of food more. 4) I am not a fan of mass farming. I am not obtuse to the fact that it’s an industry that directly supports a growing global population and reduces food insecurity. But it is not humane. It is truly horrific the way that animals are treated in mass production facilities. That is why I encourage people to shop at local markets for meat, poultry, fish, and dairy. We have a local cattle ranch where we try to source all of our meat because you can literally see the facilities and the animals live great lives. There are also local farming collectives that have pickup and delivery for products. I also am aware that we are in a recession, social programs for food have been cut, and people are struggling. If you need to buy meat from Walmart to feed your family - please do not let anyone make you feel bad about that. I know that this is a super nuanced topic and it’s sad! Justifying animals dying is hard! I just wanted to offer my perspective as someone who is incredibly sensitive and thinks a lot about these things. And there’s seldom a scenario where something is “all good” or “all bad”. There’s so much nuance and there’s never a “right” opinion or perspective. I love you all - from carnivores to vegans 🫶🏾

@kepano This is freaking gorgeous

@echodynamis little bro touched a cactus once and I was like "oh shit, no no no, that is the cactus of silent death! its poison will kill you at some random point in the next 10 years" i like to think i helped him confront his mortality

being a big brother is weird u can do silly things, like disconnecting ur sibling’s controller playing mario kart 64 its hilarious
