@ivanburazin Who do you use in the UK?

I'm flying across continents at least 2x every week. Every time I land, I get IV drips to keep me going. Order it on the plane. Land. Get to hotel. 10 minutes later, nurse at the door. Plug in IV with water, salt, zinc, vitamin C, NAD. NAD almost makes me want to throw up while I'm getting it. But it does the job. Half hour later: good to go! Would die without it haha.

@preston_holland @gregscroggin Nothing will ever compare to the Falcon 50 with J Divan

@gregscroggin Agreed it has much less of that aggressive ramp appeal. The 7X/8X are my favorite on the ramp by far

We got the first peek at the Falcon 10X today. After years of renderings, it finally exists in real life!

@StephNass hit me with your funding guide. curious to hear your thoughts on openvc vs metal vs venture codex etc

Raising funds is hard. And it’s 10x harder if you don’t have the right playbook. I turned our proven fundraising process into a visual step-by-step blueprint you can copy today. 👉🏻 Comment “funding” and I’ll send you the playbook for free. Here’s what you’ll learn: ✅ How to understand the VC game and know if you’re fundable ✅ How to build and qualify your investor list without wasting time ✅ The 4 proven ways to access investors (without burning bridges) + Tools, templates, and cold email scripts you can copy right away 🛠️ To get it: 1: Comment “funding” below 2: Connect with me (DMs only go to connections) I’ll send it directly to your DMs. (Only for 72h) ♻️ Bonus: Retweet this and I’ll include my pitch deck template on top.

just talked to person I know who runs traditional health company they just moved their email list of 120,000 from mailchimp to klaviyo entirely via APIs with claude code he did it in 48 hours all their contact all their campaign templates all their nurture flows everything switching cost has gone to zero the software industry is not ready

Pure software is rapidly becoming un-investable.

@preston_holland quality shitpost

Georgia is home to the busiest airport in the world, Hartsfield-Jackson International.

It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually and over time in the "progress as usual" way, but specifically this last December. There are a number of asterisks but imo coding agents basically didn’t work before December and basically work since - the models have significantly higher quality, long-term coherence and tenacity and they can power through large and long tasks, well past enough that it is extremely disruptive to the default programming workflow. Just to give an example, over the weekend I was building a local video analysis dashboard for the cameras of my home so I wrote: “Here is the local IP and username/password of my DGX Spark. Log in, set up ssh keys, set up vLLM, download and bench Qwen3-VL, set up a server endpoint to inference videos, a basic web ui dashboard, test everything, set it up with systemd, record memory notes for yourself and write up a markdown report for me”. The agent went off for ~30 minutes, ran into multiple issues, researched solutions online, resolved them one by one, wrote the code, tested it, debugged it, set up the services, and came back with the report and it was just done. I didn’t touch anything. All of this could easily have been a weekend project just 3 months ago but today it’s something you kick off and forget about for 30 minutes. As a result, programming is becoming unrecognizable. You’re not typing computer code into an editor like the way things were since computers were invented, that era is over. You're spinning up AI agents, giving them tasks *in English* and managing and reviewing their work in parallel. The biggest prize is in figuring out how you can keep ascending the layers of abstraction to set up long-running orchestrator Claws with all of the right tools, memory and instructions that productively manage multiple parallel Code instances for you. The leverage achievable via top tier "agentic engineering" feels very high right now. It’s not perfect, it needs high-level direction, judgement, taste, oversight, iteration and hints and ideas. It works a lot better in some scenarios than others (e.g. especially for tasks that are well-specified and where you can verify/test functionality). The key is to build intuition to decompose the task just right to hand off the parts that work and help out around the edges. But imo, this is nowhere near "business as usual" time in software.

@_avdept @tibo_maker Bait!

@tibo_maker how can you burn $40 worth of tokens in 10 seconds? or its engagement bait post?

handed my OpenClaw an API key with $40 in credits asked a single question agent burned through everything in 10 seconds still don't know what it actually did imagine giving real money to those things

@Shpigford most frustrating part of this app

don’t mind me. just scrolling for next 47 minutes trying to find the post that briefly showed when i opened the app and then inexplicably refreshed with all new posts.

@jrichlive @function @swerdlin ^

@jrichlive @function Ran into this same experience today, absolutely insane to have to use a chargeback because they're "looking into my request"

Honestly have to give @function (Function Health) 1/5 stars. Tried it, spent thousands of dollars, never received results, only option is to have a conversation with a primitive chat bot which never resolves the issue. And no way to cancel on the web site...

@Shpigford It's 100% the stack you're using. iOS dev for ex requires heavy skills/prompting/knowing how to steer it. You can literally feel when the model hasn't been trained on enough code/examples/docs to do it correctly.

i keep reading all of these "codex vs opus" posts and they all talk about how opus keeps making mistakes whereas codex doesn't. am i just some sort of accidental AI magician because i code 6-8 hours a day across 3-5 projects and basically never hit issues past "oh yeah, i should have clarified that more in my prompt".

@HarryStebbings This is basically all SaaS right now, is it not? Big players just going to build vertically integrated solutions w/ AI.

I struggle to get excited by customer support AI. The sheer number of well funded new players: Sierra Decagon GigaML Parloa Forethought Kore Cresta All of these have raised over $100M. and then oldies like Intercom Zendesk Talkdesk Ada And then wait for it, you speak to Navan and others, large public companies who are all building their own because their requirements are far too specialised for a horizontal service. Jeez… I scratch my head.

running 24x claude code opus's in parallel and it works flawlessly using github as the coordination layer for code reviews, CI checks, and planning

Just cancelled cursor, end of an era. kind of crazy because I would have paid like $2000/mo for it only a year ago

@bscholl Shitposting lowkey a modern comms strategy and I’m here for it

Just gonna leave this here

@henrythe9ths @trevorkoverko Just drop the link bro

A billion-dollar founder just shared something he’s never made public before: The exact system his team uses to run his life — built over years and millions spent. It’s the ultimate delegation playbook. And now he’s giving you the whole thing. Meet @trevorkoverko, co-founder of Polymath ($59M raised, $1B token cap), 2x IPOs, now building @JoinSapien. His $300K/year support system lets him operate like 20 people. And it’s all powered by a few core principles — and a $10/hr VA can run it. What’s inside: • Daily/weekly/monthly assistant SOPs • Calendar architecture + color-coding • Meeting briefing templates • VA hiring & onboarding docs • Meal prep & chef coordination • Property mgmt workflows • Health routines • Zapier → Asana → voice memo automation • An SOP for creating SOPs He doesn’t touch his inbox or calendar. He speaks, the system executes. Now he’s sharing the entire thing — every doc, every SOP, every workflow. Want it? Repost + Comment “SOP” to get full access P.S. This is one of the most detailed personal ops systems I’ve ever seen. Don’t miss it.
