@nikstep 0 => 1 💪🏻

First paying customer is live on Phone.inc! It's one of the magical moments in the startup journey! Next step: Make sure your first phone call is as magical as your first customer. Building products for SMBs is all about the feelings.

@nikstep Probably because all MBP users has an iPhone within reach. But sure, it would be cool to have it built in. And more likely to come in the next gen, now that Apple makes their own modems.

I still don't understand why MacBook Pros don't have a 5G modem built in.

@auchenberg @sharifshameem I have instructed Claude to include why my brilliant new idea isn’t brilliant at all, in the first response. Turns out that I am endless source or mediocre ideas. Tough love.

"Let's just say a bunch of bad ideas out loud so we can get to the good ones." Great post by @sharifshameem on the creative process, and the need for iteration. sharif.io/looking-stupid

@oilpanic @andersbaek1 Begge dine eksempler sker allerede.

@andersbaek1 Der er lige governance problemet - vil en revisor skriver under på et regnskab en ai har lavet/bogført? Vil du underskrive køb af en virksomhed på en kontrakt lavet af ai? Når det er løst af eks Microsoft så går det stærkt..

Vi står overfor noget ubegribeligt stort. Der er sket et markant stemningsskifte i AI-industrien de seneste uger. En tydelig bekymring breder sig. Flere har sammenlignet situationen med dagene før Corona-nedlukningen: Ingen vidste, hvad der ventede, og pludselig var alt forandret. @thorborg har senest også råbt vagt i gevær. Jeg er helt enig. Kort fortalt: AI forbedres med lynets hast. Snart kan teknologien overtage store dele af arbejdet fra “white-collar” jobs. Det gælder programmører, revisorer, økonomer, jurister, grafikere, konsulenter, kundeservice mfl. Vil det føre til massefyringer? 🚨Programmører står i første række🚨 Især AI’s fremskridt indenfor programmering har taget pusten fra de fleste. AI-agenter kan nu selv navigere på en computer og udvikle komplekse programmer. Programmører, der har taget AI til sig skal nu stort set ikke programmere mere. Opgaver, der før tog timer eller dage, kan nu løses på minutter. Mange stiller sig derfor spørgsmålet: 🚨Vil flere og flere programmører miste sit job?🚨 Det er en reel mulighed. Historisk er mønstret klart: De jobtyper, der oplever de største produktivitetsboost efter teknologiske revolutioner, er ofte også dem, der reduceres mest. Fx Landarbejdere under industrialiseringen. Telefonister efter computerens indtog. Programmører oplever det nu med AI. Jeg er især bekymret for nyuddannede programmøre. Det job, de er uddannet til - at skrive kode - outsources i stigende grad til AI. 🚨Programmører står ikke alene🚨 De står blot i første række. Samme udvikling vil ramme andre vidensarbejdere. Det er ulig noget vi tidligere har set. Tidligere teknologi-revolutioner har ramt de lavtlønnede job. Det er omvendt med AI: den rammer i toppen. AI er især stærk til tunge, analytiske opgaver. Netop de områder, der kræver en lang uddannelse. Og vi ser det allerede. Flere og flere opgaver automatiseres væk. I kundeservice skrives flere og flere svar af en AI - mennesket godkender blot. Snart sker det samme for en konsulent, en økonom, en jurist osv. 💥En udvikling i eksponentiel fart💥 Nogen vil læse dette med skepsis. Det er helt forståeligt. Men man bør huske, at ChatGPT kun er 3 år gammel. AI-teknologi er stadig på baby-stadiet. AI er ca. lige nu der, hvor internettet var i 1995. Samtidig undervurderer mange hastigheden i AI’s udvikling. AI udvikler sig eksponentielt. Eksponentielle udviklinger er lumske. De starter langsomt, men tager så fart. Alene det seneste år har vi set kvantespring i AI-agenter, der automatiserer komplekse opgaver. Derfor vil mange vidensarbejdere blive påvirket langt hurtigere end de forventer. Det er meget svært at sige hvad konsekvenserne bliver. Men det vil formentligt forandre alt. Det er alle mine tanker for nu. Jeg følger og dækker udviklingen tæt.

@martinleblanc Thank you for letting me be part of the fun.

Iconfinder, the company I founded in 2011, is shutting down tomorrow. It started as a side project a few years earlier and had already grown to millions of users by 2010. I quit my job to focus on Iconfinder, raised capital, and turned it into a real company. I’m full of good memories of working with some of my favorite people in the world. Thousands of contributors earned money on the platform, and hundreds of thousands of customers paid for icons. In 2022, @Iconfinder was acquired by @freepik, and now it’s time to sunset the service. A few of the Iconfinder team members and I are still happily employed at @freepik, where we’re fully focused on AI - and there’s an excellent substitute for Iconfinder in @flaticon. It has been a project of love from day one. Thank you to everyone who has used @Iconfinder, and to all the employees (past and present) and contributors. Martin LeBlanc

@auchenberg Same argument for why so much wonderfully depressing music is made in Seattle. 🌧️🌲🎸

Few understand this. Why do you think so many programming languages were invented in Denmark? 🇩🇰

@auchenberg @OpenAI Could, hopefully, be a competitor to @vercel AI SDK. 🤞🏻

What is @OpenAI ChatKit? 👀

@mikker @cursor_ai Aha. Will need to check it out.

@dkjess @cursor_ai I think that's OpenAI's Codex

I need cloud @cursor_ai to work on my GitHub repo while being instructed from my phone.

I love listening to business books and have been an @audible_com subscriber forever. But, I wish that I could query books using an LLM to better understand meaning and use practical frameworks later.

With friends like these…

I am looking for a SoMe content app that can help with ideation, writing, and scheduling. I use Claude today for parts of the process, but really wish I had an all in one place that also helped maintain a tone of voice. Any suggestions?

@mikker I use the traditional FE/BE titles in job ads. But, in the first interview, I tell candidates that what we are actually looking for is “application developers”. Implementing business logic and user interfaces. And working well on a product team.

You’re missing out if you think of yourself as only backend or frontend. Think of all the fun there is in learning the other one! And afterwards you’ll be a twofer! Incredible deal, don’t cut yourself short.

@mikker Or a Jaguar slogan.

Radical Candor sounds like a christian punk band

@mikker Congratulations 🥳 big deal!

🎉 We did it! 4000000!

@onetimeitsmine @BrianNorgard “Chat it”

LLMs have mostly replaced my need for Google Search. The other day, a friend said to me ‘Google it,’ and it felt like hearing someone suggest using a fax machine.

@Claus Jeg tror bare det bliver sort tape.

@dkjess Du kan skjule den med den her neat casing #profileId-704491" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">makerworld.com/en/models/7560…

My new Mac mini is fantastic, except for the totally unnecessary and way too bright led on the front. I wish there was a way to at least dim it.

Working on my app for next week’s #demodag. Can’t afford a real Michael F. design, so I went with the Temu version by GPT4o. “You are a talented app icon designer like @flarup, please make me an illustration of a metro train going really fast.”
