@mvanhorn @slashlast30days @garrytan It's such a great tool. I use it all the time. Thank you for building it.

Wow, @slashlast30days is at ⭐10,384 Github stars, 2,684 new today. @garrytan just merged my codex fix to GStack, and my X post "Every Claude Code Hack I Know (March 2026)" just hit 841k views!

@LynAldenContact Love this thread. So many great suggestions.
Here are a few outliers:
- The End of Eternity (Asimov) such a great time travel story
- The Bobiverse (Dennis Taylor) is fun!
- The Ryiria Chronicles (Michael J. Sullivan) is good fantasy
- EON (Greg Bear) is great hard Sci-Fi

@NickSpisak_ I just sent this post to my OpenClaw agent and he wasn't very happy about it. He's acting a little defensive now... 😉

Fuck it, we just made Fizzy completely free.
The open source installable version was always free, but the SaaS version was pay. No more. Basecamp and HEY's largess will subsidize Fizzy for all.
So go grab your account at Fizzy.do. It's Kanban the way it should be, not the way it has been. Fresh, fun, light, fast, and perfect for working with agents, too.
An official CLI is coming soon as well. Stay tuned for that.
The native iOS app should be out once Apple approves it (it's in approval right now...). Android is already out, you can get it on the Play store.
(and BTW if you were a paying customer, you will no longer be charged moving forward)

Anthropic would have built this in a day and a dev would have tweeted the news. At OpenAI, an exec is telling you about a plan.
That gap tells you everything.
In the last 7 days, Anthropic shipped Dispatch, channels, voice mode, /loop, 1M context GA, MCP elicitation, persistent Cowork on mobile, Excel and PowerPoint cross-app context, inline charts, and 64k default output tokens. Felix Rieseberg tweeted "we're shipping Dispatch" and you could control your desktop Claude from your phone that afternoon. Every launch came from an engineering account or a GitHub release.
In the same 7 days, OpenAI shipped GPT-5.4 mini and nano. Redesigned the model picker. Sunset the "Nerdy" personality preset. Announced three acquisitions.
To find a comparable volume of shipped product from OpenAI, you have to rewind to December.
This is the most underrated difference in AI right now. Anthropic PMs don't write PRDs. Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, ships 10 to 30 PRs a day and hasn't written code by hand since November. 60 to 100 internal releases daily. Cowork was built with Claude Code in 10 days. The tools build the next version of the tools. Every cycle compresses the last one. Engineers are empowered to ship and announce. The entire org runs like a product team, not a corporation.
OpenAI has the opposite problem. Fidji Simo is CEO of Applications, a title that exists because engineers aren't empowered to ship without executive approval chains. She joined from Instacart. Before that, a decade at Meta running the Facebook app. Since she arrived, OpenAI has acquired 12 companies for $11 billion in 10 months and announced a "superapp" consolidation through the Wall Street Journal. The exec responsible for shipping it is tweeting about "phases of exploration and refocus" on the product she hasn't shipped yet. That's what happens when you layer a Meta-style product org on top of an AI lab. Decisions go up. Shipping slows down. Announcements replace releases.
Anthropic's product announcements come from the people who wrote the code. OpenAI's come from the C-suite and the press. One of those loops compounds. The other one meetings.
Fidji Simo@fidjissimo
Companies go through phases of exploration and phases of refocus; both are critical. But when new bets start to work, like we're seeing now with Codex, it's very important to double down on them and avoid distractions. Really glad we're seizing this moment.

I'm reading @Pogue's wonderful book Apple: The First 50 Years. The Apple ][+ was my first computer so the story has a special significance to me. Such a great story and visuals. applefirst50.com

Socrates in 460 BC: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Marcus Aurelius in 150 CE: “You have power over your mind—not outside events.”
Augustine of Hippo in 400 CE: “Do not go outside; return into yourself. In the inward man dwells the truth.”

What Marc Andreessen truly means here is that he doesn’t care about how his actions affect others and is trying to normalize this kind of psychopathic behavior

It is the most American act of all to criticize our government. It’s a cherished freedom of our democracy. It’s what distinguishes us from dictatorships. And it usually makes our policy outcomes better.
If you support Trumps war in Iran, make a compelling argument; bring some data to support your hypothesis. But do not slander those who disagree with you as being unpatriotic or un-American. That’s how it works in Iran, Russia, North Korea, and China. We are not like them.

Using @Replit Agent 4's multi-agent ability is pretty awesome. Instead of waiting around for it to finish something, you can be working on another feature in parallel.
The only problem with it - it will multiply the credits I use and that will get expensive!

Claude is my favorite model, and I'm impressed with the progress Google is making. Gemini is excellent. Google AI Studio too.
Google's deals with Apple and now Meta ensure Gemini will be used by hundreds of millions of people (or more).
I asked Perplexity to give me an analysis of GOOG stock at its current valuation, and asked it to compare how it does stock buybacks vs Berkshire and Apple.
A great, balanced perspective. Many people are saying Perplexity will be overwhelmed by the big guns, but they are fighting strong.
