After finding Loom lacking in usefulness for years, we created a remixed tool based off what worked and what we wanted. I have filmed over 2300 Looms and it is my #1 communication method with all of my teams. But you can't do anything other than film and send the link. 👇

@george_nqu @lovable They haven't

I'm convinced at all by the trend of everything becoming the everything agent. Seems to me that it's better to focus on doing one thing well than everything badly. Has @lovable realised that vibe coding can't build serious apps?

I've had my new iPhone for a month and i'm still signing into things. Apple could vastly increase revenue if they made onboarding a new phone easier. I went from upgrading yearly to begrudgingly every 2.5 years due to the pain of this process.

If the point of Formula 1 was simply to have the fastest cars, regulations wouldn't exist. This has always been about engineering as displayed by the name of the sport.

What if we stopped calling them prompts and started calling them incantations for fun?

One of the things i'm super curious about is what will define the style of the american courtyard block. You can look at a french one and pick it out instantly. This design actually looks somewhat american, but I can't pinpoint why. It would be really cool for Texas to have a style different from Florida or the northeast

Flats that "live like a house," with a front facing the public street, and a back (a quiet side) that looks into courtyard. This is what single stair reform enables

If y'all aren't having Claude design terminal themes so you can differentiate between projects/features...you don't know what you're missing.

@anitakirkovska I'm refactoring an existing Lovable app with Claude and it has taken a full 24 hours to DRY the code. I'm not sure Lovable is very good at making a scalable app. I can't use it just for designs, there needs to be a better way with Claude

@csakon i feel like our team still finds use of Lovable for UI mocks

Using Lovable after a month of Claude Code was insanely painful.

Wait, they're putting phone chips in laptops and laptop chips in tablets?

AI is only taking your job if you aren't already building and maintaining workflows. Every business process is death by a thousand cuts and the secret sauce is the design. An AI doesn't have the world knowledge for this task. Human/AI pairing is the way.

@kensavage Claude just feels intuitive where Lovable feels like "no, that's not what I meant."

@csakon Much less control?

What if you can buy the A19 chip by itself next year to plug into the chassis?

Compute = Revenue

@UrbanCourtyard I'm in Austin Texas and hail isn't infrequent. Don't metal roofs have an issue with that?

@csakon They provide exceptional durability and leak resistance (because they rapidly shed water and snow) And they enable upper floor living size (charming attics etc) Generally reduce longterm maintenance and lifecycle costs compared to flat roofs.

I love standing seam metal roofs--not for what they are now--but what they could be

@UrbanCourtyard What is the functional benefit?

what they could be

@UrbanCourtyard Your DMs aren't open

Today, Courtyard Urbanist is announcing the formation of its Advisory Council — along with the first group of Founding Investors backing the Courtyard Urbanism initiative. We will introduce individual Council members in the coming weeks, so watch this space. This marks the next step in a coordinated effort to bring dense, multi-generational, family-supportive urban housing to the United States — and to improve the physical form of American cities for the next century. The Council brings together developers, policymakers, architects, authors, and technologists who recognize both the scale of the opportunity and the urgency of the moment. Together, we are working to make courtyard urbanism legal, financeable, and buildable in the United States. Our goal is to Americanize and advance a time-tested model that has shaped some of the most celebrated neighborhoods in cities such as Copenhagen, Paris, Prague, and Rome. We are creating the conditions for multifamily housing (the apartment or condo building, the co-op, the palazzo, a baugruppen, etc.) that surpasses the expectations of modern American families while reviving the walkable, mixed-use, amenity-rich neighborhoods that make cities fantastic. Alongside the Council, an initial group of Founding Investors has accepted an invitation to support this work at its earliest stage. They share the conviction that courtyard housing represents one of the most important and overlooked opportunities in American real estate — and that now is the moment to lay the groundwork. We are expanding this group carefully to create the runway needed to develop the design, legal, and financial frameworks that will allow this housing to scale. The Advisory Council and the Founding Investors are steps toward consolidating both dimensions of Courtyard Urbanist (the public conversation and real-world implementation) and progress on both tracks will be shared over time. Courtyard urbanism is ultimately a project to make American cities work better for households of all ages, stages, and incomes by increasing the supply of small multifamily buildings with shared outdoor space. The component building is simple and repeatable: • 4–6 stories • Single central stair and compact elevator • A range of unit sizes, including substantial family housing • Active ground floors with discreetly integrated parking • A shared interior courtyard — secure, green, and communal This is the fundamental building block of walkable, multigenerational, durably prosperous urban neighborhoods. We are at the beginning of assembling the coalition that will make this possible in American cities. If you are a builder, policymaker, or investor who wants to be part of this effort, reach out.

@george_nqu @bubble You can make changes now?

Vibe @bubble-ing with Buildprint. We are so back. Will be looking for beta users, so let me know below if you're interested.

Claude Code is a loss leader for the Claude API which will be embedded in every app built with Claude Code. Brilliant.
