@Wattenberger I agree with the broader points. Implement is rarely just implement and where we spend our time is shifting. However, what happens when you switch from this linear view to a loop? Yes we should plan (and think!) more, but aren’t we now having more frequent and faster loops?

here's my rough logic around why devs need a new tool focused on planning what do you think? going to write it up as a blog post soon, would love any generative reactions 👀

@whatdotcd Looks awesome. Count me in.

I've had my agent summarize a group chat I'm in with my really successful really smart friends. I think they're fun to read and I'm debating on sharing them more widely, would you subscribe to something like this? Reply and I'll DM you to get an email so you can get them and also give feedback <3

@0xCharlota WHAT A STAR!

omg my small multiplayer embroidery vibe coded app won this makeathon???

@timourxyz oof

@drewcoffman @a16zcrypto There we go!

i'm joining @a16zcrypto to shape their social strategy. crypto is the most interesting technology being built today, but most of the world still just doesn't get it. telling that story well requires long-term thinking from long-term believers, and a16z is the place to do it. couldn't be more ready for this one.

Resist the smooth path to mediocrity. Purposely design for surprises that jolt you out of the seamless, staid world of best practices.

@ekuyda @steipete Yup

everyone just keeps building the same thing: 2024: deep research and “operator” (browser clickers) 2025: actual browsers and prompt-to-app 2026: some version of openclaw there’s a lot of alpha in original product thinking while big labs (and many startups too) are all busy building identical products

This is something that has been on my mind for awhile now. @Wattenberger's post on the need to choose "to stay in the uncomfortable place before there are options" helped me land this. x.com/Wattenberger/s…

The best people I've met aren't strategy people or execution people. They're both. So when the cost of building something approaches 0, they go faster, but they're also more generative (and strategic and playful). They aren't just building derivatives of the same thing.

The Collective Intelligence Project @collect_intel is hiring for a lead product engineer! This role focuses on to building out full-stack platforms enriched with copious data, rich visualizations and easily-navigable user experiences. Working on Weval (weval.org), our evaluation platform that's being used by AI labs and governments to assess frontier models, and on Global Dialogues (70+ countries gathering public input on AI), Digital Twin evals & experiments with partners deploying democratic AI governance tools in the real world. cip.org/careers/produc… We're building the infrastructure that gives people across the globe meaningful input and agency into how AI systems are developed and governed, to ensure AI development expands democratic capacity rather than undermining it.

Whether you call it play, care, dreamweaving, or just giving a damn, how you do something matters. Great post by @beh_zod on infinite romance.

The Collective Intelligence Project is hiring! Join us in making collective intelligence the obvious path - we are hiring for two @collect_intel roles: Lead Product Engineer & Product Manager. cip.org/careers The Collective Intelligence Project builds infrastructure that gives people across the globe meaningful input into how AI systems are developed and governed. We combine large-scale deliberation, participatory evaluation, and institutional partnerships in a way no lab, regulator, or civil society organization can achieve alone. We're a small, high-leverage team backed by leading foundations + working with top AI labs and governments to ensure AI development expands democratic capacity rather than undermining it.

Yup! And not just crypto founders, but founders and product ppl more broadly

@sarahdrinkwater @_CommonMagic Yes! Love the emphasis on fun! Fun and play show up in my set of principles. Not surprised that they’re in yours!

The best founders pick who they want @_CommonMagic works to be chosen. Principles of building; 1: focus on the founder + all else follows 2: trust wins you the right to be honest 3: small, fast, focused can beat big, slow + general 4: the secret ingredient is fun

@AmandaAskell @hananyss Oh nuance. What a strange concept.

I'm too right wing for the left and I'm too left wing for the right. I'm too into humanities for those in tech and I'm too into tech for those in the humanities. What I'm learning is that failing to polarize is itself quite polarizing.

What are you optimizing for? What are you playing for?

Great position to not include ads. Marking this moment. anthropic.com/news/claude-is…

Every so often, I wonder what David Graeber would think of this moment. From bullshit jobs to anarchy to play to human ingenuity and more
