Won my first hackathon at 13. Tried turning pro in StarCraft 2 at 15. Graduated Highschool at 17. First startup at 18, first funding at 22, leading 15-engineer team at 24. Now CTO of Clera - still building, still hungry, 24/7.

Well

@typesense Also thinking of open sourcing our Terraform Config for easy deploys. Kudos to the typesense team, we are fans.

Using @typesense? Kept struggling with MCP and handling of our coding agents. Thus, we published this package here: @clera/typesense-cli?activeTab=readme" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">npmjs.com/package/@clera… Give it a look

Thinking of build the best Job Description of the world. Talent cockpit, no searching left and right. What does it need to include 100%? What are current ones always missing?

I get more and more convicted - to stand out, you either need to be fully provokative (the rebel) or fully visionary (the futurist). Everything else doesn't cut through the noise.

A founder hiring on Clera told us their #1 filter for engineers: "Have you built something strangers paid for?" Not FAANG. Not LeetCode. A real side project with real revenue. Here's why that works so well 🧵

@_sebastianscott Best proxy.

Introducing Software Factory Stories Ep 1. Meet @chrisstrobl, Founder & CEO of gitflash.com. Here's his story.

What's popping people

@arsenisan Completely crazy. Opus 4.5 in Cursor vs CC: Cursor is done prior CC has started.

@danwintermeyer All good on my end. Maybe there is a slight slowdown, but I don't feel it much

Claude Code so slow for the last 14 days. Going from 20x Engineer to 0.5x Engineer. Holy fck.

@AlanKLFeng Crazy. Wondering if that's them reducing tokens on their side, by killing UX.

@danwintermeyer Same boat 😅 Try smaller repos + parallel sessions for different tasks. And clearing conversation history helps. Still beats my 0.1x pre-AI days though 🤷

What's the move here? Back to Cursor, Antigravity, or some Vim play?

@nicopujia @theonclub Appreciated, thanks 🙏

@danwintermeyer 1. be near Palermo or Belgrano. 2. check @theonclub 3. be aware that it's summer holidays so the city is half empty

Is it me or does it get increasingly difficult to find local communities? Arrived in Buenos Aires a couple of days ago - how do I find the following: * Hackathons * Engineering Events * Run Clubs This used to be easier, wasn’t it?

@arpit_bhayani How big is that DB? db.m8gd.16xlarge?

Fun fact: OpenAI handles 800 million users on ChatGPT with just one PostgreSQL primary and 50 read replicas 🤯 Today, OpenAI published an engineering blog explaining how they scaled their Postgres setup to support a massive 800 million users using a single primary and 50 multi-region replicas. They dive into details around their scaling approach, the PgBouncer proxy, cache locking, and cascading read replicas. It is genuinely neat and impressive. I just published a video on my YouTube channel where I dissect the blog and break down the nuances. Give it a watch - it is short and fun.

99% of people are playing a losing game and don't even know it. They wait for things to break. Here's why that's about to change 🧵

@CutTheFluffPL @bcherny AI slop

I've been using Claude Code since Monday. Three days in, I hit my Pro tier limit and upgraded to Max😃. Not because I wanted to test more. Because I had work I couldn't finish without it. The terminal interface isn't for everyone. Cowork fixes that gap. Safety improvements like delete protection? That's what makes this production-ready.

Very excited about this -- big safety improvement for Cowork based on your feedback

@bsansouci @bcherny If delete command, ask user to confirm. There are only that many ways to delete via CLI.

@bcherny How do you _guarantee_ it will never delete without permissions? My impression is LLMs aren’t the best at always following instructions

Are we clauded already? # In your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc alias clauded="claude --dangerously-skip-permissions"
