The asymmetry of the modern age has been: the institution has machines and bureaucracy; the citizen has a phone and their patience. What happens when the citizens can build machines of their own in a matter of hours? alistaircroll.com/updates/the-ma…

I've used Claude Code to build 20+ projects in the last 6 months. Thousands of new users across them. And I've never written a single line of code. I just dropped a 24-min video with my top 10 tips for non-developers — the exact playbook I use every day to run multiple AI agents that handle work that used to take me a full week. This is the best beginner guide to learning and building with Claude Code out right now. Every tutorial I found assumes you're a developer. This one doesn't. I cover everything from first install to running multi-agent workflows — with live demos and real examples for every single tip. How I set up new projects, how I got Claude to match my writing style, how I automate repeatable workflows with one command, and how I run multiple agents working on different tasks at the same time. I also built a full resource repo to go alongside the video — curated video tutorials, the best skill libraries, plugin directories, MCP server guides, written docs, community links, and a starter CLAUDE.md template you can copy-paste into your first project today. Comment "GUIDE" and I'll send you the full guide with everything you need to learn Claude Code! (make sure we're connected so I can DM you)

@mattshumer_ Thanks for writing this. Mirrors what I’m seeing. I remember a description of exponential curves: “with your back to the curve, is gentle slope as far as the eye can see. Turn towards it and you’re facing a wall.”

@GeoffreyHuntley @nayshins I remember (I think it was Seed Magazine) had this on its inleaf (paraphrasing; I think it went up to astrophysics and circled back): Ecology is applied biology is applied chemistry is applied physics os applied maths.

I wish we could stop saying spec driven development, but I guess we can put it up there with agentic and just deal with it
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

@airesearch12 💯 @ Spec-driven development It's the limit of imperative -> declarative transition, basically being declarative entirely. Relatedly my mind was recently blown by dbreunig.com/2026/01/08/a-s… , extreme and early but inspiring example.

@GeoffreyHuntley Price is really cost (in the strategic marketing world, there's differentiation and cost reduction.) Costco-style might work (a co-op for apps, profits solely from membership, operating the infrastructure at cost). Service guarantees outcomes when stuff breaks.

The new competitive moats: - assumption of liability - network effects - taste - goodwill - delivery of outcomes What else?
geoff@GeoffreyHuntley

since /z80 is public and now it’s possible to essentially clone any company i don’t see any benefit to hide source code, progress status and even the specifications behind 🧵the weaving loom🧵 here you go, it’s on GitHub for now github.com/ghuntley/loom if your name is not geoffrey huntley; do not use loom. everything will change wildly and at almost zero notice via ralph loops. loom is the ralph loop orchestrator that has been in my head for the last year and that i have rebuilt many times over. the reason i share the code really comes down to by building in the open and it makes it easier for me to teach concepts, ideas and put names on techniques that don’t even have words to formally describe them. nay sayers will say it’s not possible to build something with zero code review where agents have sudo to automatically deploy like yeggie; i’m here to prove them wrong but i’m taking it N steps further. the last 40 years of computing and software engineering practices were developed for humans. we can invalidate anything. we have a new computer now. watch it get build 😎 it’ll be easier for folks to pick problems with the codebase as it’s now but what i want you to remember - any such issues can be solved with another highly targeted ralph loop and there’s many i have yet to do. it’s time to stitch all the components together and build autonomous recursive outcomes.

@awerhun Yeah, our last night after a Panto in Hudson and it felt like living in a snow globe Hallmark movie. When winter hits right it’s just magical.

I love Montreal at Christmas. The narrow lit up homes. The little kids stumbling in their snow suits like Michelin men, the joy radiating even though it takes discipline to keep it glowing in big storms and harsh conditions. I love it.

Until 1970, you could just ask the Canadian government for a passport and they’d trust you, making our passport the document of choice for spies and criminals worldwide. youtube.com/watch?v=As9IP5…

Insomnia means you start wondering things late at night like; Could smart glasss let you cheat at snooker Why can't I get my Kindle to work properly Am I turning into my mother How can put rockets in space but not invent zero-impact alcohol Is botox anti-feminist Could neuralinks destroy love What would falling through clouds actually feel like Etc Etc
