I was inspired by @JeffChang30 's tweet so I adapted his framework for enterprise and B2B products medium.com/design-bootcam…

@JoshKale Do people really want text that lines that starts at different places. Feels like it would be hard to read efficiently

Every website you’ve ever used is broken in a way you never noticed and it’s been this way for 30 years... A Midjourney engineer finally just fixed it. It’s called Pretext: A tiny library that lets websites lay out text the way magazines and newspapers do, with text flowing around images, wrapping into columns, and fitting perfectly into any shape, all at 120fps. This has been basically impossible on the web for 30 years. Every website you’ve ever used relies on the same clunky system from the 90s to figure out where text goes on screen. Pretext bypasses it entirely. 500x faster. The demos look like they shouldn’t be possible in a browser. Go look.

@SahilBloom @aakashgupta Yes, better advice would be even to i) delegate the less strategic work to someone else ii) align with your boss with whether that is the best use of your time or whether you should be taking on something else

@aakashgupta I think this is probably some of the most dangerous early career advice I consistently come across. Being strategically incompetent as a junior employee in the current world is a perfect way to get yourself replaced. Better advice: Take everything seriously. It all matters.

A major cheat code in life: Master the art of strategic incompetence. Some tasks you don't want to be good at. Be bad at them and watch them get reassigned. Not everything needs your excellence. Some things need your exit.

@signulll I think the Lyft vs. Uber history proves this is unlikely to be the seismic shift you envision.

as of this writing claude is now #2 in the app store & there’s a real non trivial downside scenario here for openai that many aren’t really grasping. it’s low prob but structurally interesting. lemme explain. if a clean meme forms on tiktok & instagram tying openai to the department of war, & that framing hits mainstream liberal users, the reaction won’t be analytical, it’ll be fucking visceral. most ppl won’t parse contract scope, defensive use cases, or historical precedent. they’ll respond to timing & symbolism. & if this perception hardens, the competitive alternative becomes emotionally obvious. an association that feels morally dissonant could trigger switching behavior, employee discomfort, media amplification, & even long tail brand drift. i’m not even arguing companies shouldn’t work with the war dept. that’s not the point. the point is that in a memetic environment, perception compounds faster than facts. & if that perception locks in among a politically concentrated user base, the second & third order effects on consumer ai could be far more significant than most people expect. again low probability cuz switching is hard but damn if they haven’t opened a can of worms.

@lucas_musetti Poe o Arão na zaga, tira o Luan Peres e põe o Miguelito. Ajuda a saída e põe movimentação

Quase a virada do Santos. Jordi tirou nos pés do Neymar após um bolão do Gabigol.

@signulll There is only one thing keeping me from leaving ChatGPT cold for Claude: Voice Mode.

i have a lot to say about these ads but holy fucking shit… this might be the most tasteful & brutal takedown of a category leader i’ve ever seen. & during the fucking super bowl? insane. usually these things almost always fall flat (see: slack “welcoming” microsoft teams with a fucking newspaper ad & how cringe that was), but this one lands dead center. even normies will clock the subtlety. the capturing of chatgpt’s drift in personality, tone, & vibes is absolutely unreal. almost surgical. normal ppl i know make fun of how chatgpt talks. imo openai made themselves vulnerable here by simply trying to do so much (enterprise, codex, consumer, etc) & lacking a singular cohesive narrative other than they have 800m users. like even google is taking shots about openai being forced to run ads. anyway i’ll post more but this was an absolute master class (i have posted about how openai competitors should handle their ads play, & this is a great start). also i would not count anthropic out of the consumer race yet (they have a lot of room to grow & even potentially acquire small startups).

@DataChaz @techfrenAJ @grok why set it up via AWS instead of my own MacBook? Or a brand new Mac mini

1/ Deploy ClawdBot in less than 5 minutes for $0! The AWS Free Tier setup everyone’s retweeting. by @techfrenAJ x.com/techfrenAJ/sta…

ClawdBot is blowing up on X. Everyone’s sharing great experiments, automations, even jokes! I pulled together the 15 most interesting posts right now 🧵↓

@Mr_Rebs_ Why not do that in real life instead?

Fable is like a real life simulator! You can: •Acquire jobs for income •Buy every house in Albion •Become a landlord, rent your beds to NPCs, and evict them •Buy every business in Albion to get rich •Hire NPCs to work for your business •Date, marry and have children with as many villagers as you want #Fable

@SophiaNarwitz @grok what game is this

How the fuck did this shit win Game of the Year??? If your character gets wet the blood doesn't wash off and his clothes don't get wet. Absolutely garbage. 0/10. This lack of detail RUINS games because it shows the devs don't care about quality.

Entertainment is the point.

@vixsheikh One more thought about this. In a job, it is critical to discern what to respond to and act on vs. not. This is still something that AI is not great at. But perhaps, a moot point if running AI on everything eventually becomes close to free?

@vixsheikh So many layers to this great tweet. Thank you for helping me put into words what I haven’t been able to describe about the difference between tasks and a a job.

It's far easier to automate tasks than it is to automate jobs. Tasks (ex: creating a status report) tend to be specific, self-contained and legible in nature. They can be seen as discrete and atomic units of work. In contrast, jobs tend to be broad webs that span a multitude of diverse tasks. These webs are threaded together with amorphous things such as judgment and communications and relationships. When we see headlines like "AI is replacing entry-level work", we need to be able to see through them. Rather than seeing this as an existential threat to all entry-level employment, perhaps we find opportunities to redefine some entry-level jobs to be more than just 'thin wrappers' around specific tasks. I see the limiter in this process as our imagination, not the talent or the need. (PS - also, many companies are using "AI" as a smokescreen for shedding employees. we need to see through that too)

@PLBompard Productsensei.app -> daily game for product managers

Pitch your startup - Max 5 words - Share link if ready 👀 Seen by 185k people last month 📈 YES, this is marketing - GO!

@signulll Disagree. The experience of truly loving and being loved in a romantic way is worth experiencing for the sake of itself. It doesn’t require a goal or destination. That is conditioning

there is no point to having a girlfriend until you’re ready to have a wife.

@ThorThunderG @signulll But I think his argument would be that if you’re ready to practice your intent and goal is to get a wife but you think you’re ready and are not.

@signulll Terrible take. As with all things you need to practice to get good. You need to practice to find out what you like. You need to try different relationships out.

@evanlapointe Man I must be real dumb. I don’t know what duality means

@gkrinker Duality is not the same as both, and that's where a lot of people get stuck. Duality is the answer to the first one, but not the second two. The second two, both answers are wrong.

There is usually a third option, and it’s usually the best one. - Do I focus on the short or the long term? - Am I nice to my team or demanding? - Do we optimize for profit or customer happiness? In each of these cases, the third option (the one not seen here) is the best one.
