This is what it looks like when a senior leader works with AI on real tasks. Hours of work in 25 minutes. This walkthrough covers four tasks. Meeting prep, a board recommendation, a sponsorship deck review, a pricing model rerun. AI read 15 emails, eight documents, two transcripts and a revenue model. I steered, checked and decided.

Great advice for knowledge work as well as coding. Building a report, developing a strategy? This is good advice …

@adocomplete Now enable the mysterious 'monthly limit' - that Anthropic applies "at our discretion"

5-hour and weekly rate limits have been reset for Claude Code. Go building something fun this weekend :D

@adocomplete Thanks - but now have hit a mysterious 'monthly limit' - that Anthropic applies "at our discretion" ????

@imbrandys - have played and loved SO MANY. We bulk orders the rest :)

@lennysan The very simple solution is to insist on the policy that any AI output should be checked, edited and owned by the person who generates it

Not enough people are talking about how much AI is impacting the role of data science. I was chatting with a DS friend, and he said that most of his team's work now is reviewing half-assed AI data analysis from PMs and engineers. And that 50% of the time, that analysis is wrong. The role is becoming less fun.

@zenorocha @marclou I really appreciate it. It’s so very useful!

Resend started as a frustration. As an indie hacker, working nights and weekends, I felt like every email service was built for someone else. So I decided to create my own. Today @marclou runs 33 startups solo on it. I know Resend is not for everyone (and that's okay), but it feels nice to be able to build products for other indie hackers.

Ok. But I spend time with hundreds of people who expect uploaded files to be read. And who get bad results because they’re not. And who struggle to get it to properly read uploaded files. The behaviour changed on them without notice and without communication. They’re struggling.

@beglen that's the old expected behavior; the new one more matches the behavior of claude code, and affords you uploading more stuff than directly fits in the context window and having it still be worked with this is the RLM pattern (recursive language model) and it's 2026's thing

I just properly noticed today that Claude (on the .ai site) now takes an _action_ to read your uploads, rather than having already read them before its first token in response. more like claude code. So I asked it about its filesystem and it told me interesting stuff.

@levie @paulg Yeah. ‘Do research’ was exciting. Then ‘also write the report’. Now ‘ensure its designer-quality layout’ … soon ‘publish it and do the marketing campaign’.

Yes, though my working hypothesis for that is that our tasks will just grow in sophistication consistent with the tools. So even as AI gets good enough to complete the things that it’s not good at today, we will just move the goal post again. The expert then has a new last mile to deal with at that point. Repeat forever.

Noticing an interesting version of gell-man amnesia where people use AI for their job and see all the various things they have to do in the “last mile”, but then look at someone else’s job and think that AI will eliminate it immediately. We all have a much deeper appreciation for the nuances and complexities of the work that we do every day. We run into issues about accessing data, we know how much context is needed to get AI models to work the way we need, we have to review the output of the AI to make sure it’s accurate, and then we have to incorporate that work into some broader business process. We see all those steps deeply for the work that we do. Then, a moment later, we see AI do something in a foreign space and think that it can go automate that entire function. We tend to dramatically underestimate the work that goes into making the AI work just as effectively in those jobs. This is reason to be skeptical about many of the theories of job loss. It’s coming from the lens of being able to automate individual tasks with AI, without understanding all the work that goes into doing the job fully.

I made an audio edition (podcast) of my weekly email. Hope it’s useful! steadman.ai/newsletters/da…

I'm absolutely loving this so far

You simply cannot make this up. I saw @satyanadella’s post hyping Copilot in $MSFT Word, so I replicated his exact demo workflow in my own environment. - Had ChatGPT generate an investment memo - Opened the Copilot pane in Word - Used the first prompt verbatim: “turn on track changes and tighten the executive summary” Copilot happily generated a redlined version… …inside the chat box. The actual document? Untouched. How is this possible? 😂

No matter how perfect an AI's output seems, I've never found one that can't be improved by a notebook, a fountain pen and some hard thinking

@danielcberk @AnthropicAI Use the same email. It’s seamless. I do it many times a day.

Need @AnthropicAI to let me toggle between personal and enterprise Claude account and need it yesterday. Surely I am not the only person requiring this.

@qorprate ChatGPT always did this. Claude never did. It’s a real miss to NOT tell users. Many kick off work on a phone to resume on a computer.

Is this new? The "mobile interface nudge"?

@levelsio Same on iPhone Air

My $2000+ iPhone 17 Pro Max when I try to take a photo just about every day now Then I realized most of my friends have the same problem Tim Cook should resign 🤡

A day of @stripepress inspiration

@THArrowOfApollo CODE

Clay’s new pricing is probably my fault. We were paying $314 a month, but using (based on their new model) $214,087.50 worth of Clay a WEEK. Here’s the story: A year ago Clay's head of product hopped on a call with me. I told him we were hitting their platform 17.3 million times per week. Almost all custom events (i.e. HTTPs) I remember his response being something close to "Holy shit, I think you are the largest user of Clay" I said yeah that doesn't surprise me. But then it also came up that we were only paying $3,769 a year. We talked about HTTPs, custom integrations, how we were basically using Clay as a giant API orchestration layer. I knew his wheels were turning. If you saw my last post, you know we eventually replaced Clay entirely with a $200/mo Claude Code subscription. 272,000 leads per second vs Clay's 27 hours for the same volume. But before we left, we were the perfect case study for why Clay's old pricing was broken. $314/mo for 17.3 million weekly, for what they now call ‘actions’. Run the math. We were paying $0.00001815 per action. Clay announced their new pricing structure. They split everything into Data Credits and ‘Actions.’ Actions are HTTPs, custom integrations, API calls. The exact things we were doing 17.3 million times a week. The new price per action credit works out to about 1.24 cents each. A 681% price increase for us I know you might say, "But Clay is letting people stay on the old pricing if they want," and I hear you but I also don't know how it makes me feel that someone brand new would have to pay $856,350 per month to get the same advantages I had when I was starting out only 3 years ago. I'm not saying that one call caused the entire restructuring. But I am saying their head of product learned that day that someone was running 17 million HTTPs a week for the price of a nice dinner. And now every HTTP costs 1.24 cents. anyways For the last year, we've been trying to figure out how to get off of our dependency on Clay. That was until Cursor / Claude Code / Codex came out My VP of Growth, @James, who doesnt know how to write a single line of code, touched Claude Code for the first time And three weeks later he replaced Clay for us We could process 272k rows per second now for the cost of a Claude Code sub My last post was about that system Then after that post, Clay announces new pricing that specifically monetizes the exact thing we were doing at a massive scale. Coincidence? Maybe. But I may owe everyone using Clay an apology If your Clay bill just went up, you can probably blame me for that one. Sorry! I put together a system blueprint of what I did to replace Clay for myself -- every tool, the tech stack, a Clay vs custom comparison, and a 6-step playbook for building your own. Plus a video walkthrough where I show you the live system and how each tool actually works. Reply CODE below and I'll DM it to you.
