Most frustrating thing I’ve seen today: @intercom website has no login button nor does it even have its own support widget or link to a support page. Maybe I missed it though

Accidentally went viral (300k views) with this comment about how someone is using agentic AI to intentionally panic boomers with fake 70% off lowball offers on Zillow. The comments reveal the darkness of our times. Lack of care and empathy. X is our shadow speaking.

@danielgothits This is "fun" but a perfect example of an unethical use of this technology. My parents have a house on the market. I know that if they received this they would be deeply stressed. Ask yourself why you're causing harm at scale and what the implications are for you and humanity.

@davc I’ve been using this new thing called Claude Code. It’s pretty neat! Might be a good glimpse into the future of coding.

What are the best tools people are using these days to teach Python or JS to beginners? VSCode? Jupyter? Replit? GitHub Codespaces? Google Colab? Glitch? I’m thinking short feedback loops, good UX, etc..

Honestly, traditional visually appealing web design might soon be a thing of the past. We need to start building websites that LLMs like and can quickly navigate. Is it just markdown? Or will web accessibility standards (for screen readers, etc) soon enter the spotlight?

I’ve looked inside a few engineering orgs recently. Mostly teams inside traditionally non-technical companies. What shocked me wasn’t bad code. The code was just fine. Tests fine. CI/CD also just fine. It was how little structured AI leverage there was. Everyone dabbling. No system. No multiplier. There reason is obvious and not at all what you might think.

Jobs where you tell AI what to do Jobs where AI tells you what to do
Miles Deutscher@milesdeutscher

In 10 years, there will be two classes of people. Economists call it the "K-shaped economy" - and the next 2-3 years will decide which line you're on. • An overclass that uses AI as a lever to build wealth, automate income, and make decisions at a speed no human can compete with alone. • And an underclass that gets managed by it. This isn't just "coming". It's already happening. Some mind-blowing stats: • Workers with AI skills earn 56% more than the same job without them. That premium doubled in a single year. • Industries adopting AI are seeing 3x the revenue growth per employee. • Meanwhile, 90% of workers haven't taken a single hour of AI training. • Goldman Sachs estimates 300 million jobs will be affected by AI by 2028. That's 24 months from now. If you're reading this now and you haven't built systems with AI - haven't automated a single workflow, haven't used it to create anything that makes you money or makes you irreplaceable - you are currently on the wrong line. That's not an insult. You have the agency to change your trajectory right now. But six months from now, the gap will be twice as wide. And a year from now, it may not be crossable.

The other day Claude casually did something that should make a lot of companies uncomfortable. I had it reverse-engineer my Coag-Sense INR (blood thinner testing) medical device's Bluetooth + network protocols, then build three working apps on top (web, Electron, React Native) just for kicks. This would've been a months-long project not long ago, and it took me about an hour. There's probably some money to be made here, but whatever... here's the code (use at your own risk!): github.com/davecap/coag-s…

Claude Code just added teleport. You can now build and ship from the toilet. Society is not ready.

@iancassel What’s the best way to figure out how good the management team is? Past success? LinkedIn profiles? Knowing someone who knows someone?

All great companies started as small companies. The smaller the company the more important the CEO, founder, management becomes. The smaller the company the more hats the CEO is forced to wear which amplifies his or her impact on the business. Bad decisions can destroy a small company. Great decisions have a compounding effect on a small company. If you don’t believe that founders and management are important to small companies like microcaps, just wait a little longer. You will. The MOAT of any small business is the management.

@helderbuilds By the way it definitely understands some market nuance like option trading volume, open interest and other stats. Helps to quickly gather thoughts using real time data, at the very least.

@davc Vibe coding for investing agents is niche af. Options wheel cycles + ranking upcoming events - are you finding the AI actually understands market nuance or is it mostly pattern matching that breaks in weird market conditions?

Who else is vibe coding AI tools for investing? So far I’ve built agents to manage options wheel cycles, rank upcoming biotech catalysts, propose debit spreads and lotto calls for biotechs, and a bunch of other things. Best so far has been the wheel agent but you don’t really need AI for that. Everything else is still as unpredictable as you’d expect.
