@Austen interested!

Engineers/engineering leaders in San Francisco: My team and I will be in SF (training another team) on Wednesday. If I threw a dinner Weds night to share how we’ve seen engineering orgs best transition to AI-first, would you want to come?

@GasiorekM @gauntletai submitted!

@gauntletai Yooo @jasmineflee heavily endorsed for this 💪

Cohort 4 is loading... New challengers start Monday. We saved a few spots for engineers who want to become AI-native. Applications close TODAY. Last chance: qualify.gauntletai.com

@JosephKChoi I want to go!

NYC CONSUMER APP FOUNDERS Sushi happy hour next week - for growth hackers, viral creators, app founders we'll also have a live sit-down interview with Henry Langmack, Cal AI’s 19yo CTO ($30m ARR <1yr) reply and I'll DM an invite

@GasiorekM @yongfook @yongfook curious to know your thoughts here! should pay gating depend on whether PMF has been reached?

@yongfook Do you make a pay gating distinction on pre/post-product market fit products? My view: Before PMF: Need to find the killer value prop for my target user, want them trying everything out After PMF: Want them converting against the value prop I'm knowingly delivering

Since this triggered some discussion I'll elaborate: Free plan is not the same as free trial. Have a free trial, don't have a free plan. People will say free plans are good because it lowers barrier to entry and helps with word of mouth distribution. I disagree. (all of the below applies to B2B SaaS, I have zero opinion on B2C). - you don't need a free plan to lower barrier to entry, a free trial is sufficient - what is the point of having a distribution advantage amongst a user base who expects a free product? - people value free things less - some might argue that you get more feedback this way. I would argue that it's no point getting feedback from free users, they will tell you what free users want, not what paying customers want. - the 90% of free users end up degrading the service (via support workload etc) for the 10% of people who are actually paying. That's not fair for your real customers. - in general as an indie I prefer to "keep things simple and slightly on hard mode". charge a price, try to get customers. If you try to emulate the VC-style mass distribution by offering something for free and then upselling some % of them, I think you're overcomplicating your business. Just charge money.

you dont have to go to burning man to be happy. you can just start using codex

what's coding with sonnet4 like?? You're absolutely right! You're absolutely right! You're absolutely right! You're absolutely right! You're absolutely right! You're absolutely right! You're absolutely right! You're absolutely right! You're absolutely right! You're absolutely...

having to go back to sonnet4 after a week of gpt5 feels like coding jail

the feminine urge to replenish my glycogen stores post-leg day with 1.5 french vanilla macarons

openAI employees may have received their $1.5M bonuses but I, on the other hand, have used $69 worth of gpt5 credits FOR FREE since its launch yesterday. which is basically the same thing!

im hesitant to go to bed and miss this precious window of opportunity while gpt5 is still fresh. its only a matter of (very little) time before everyone trains its demise simply just by using it

the only women I know with androids are either android devs or work for google hence, no android version of my crystals app (not yet at least)

what lives rent free in my head?? that time I went to a ParentTech meetup where I had to ask who miss rachel was and everyone looked at me like I was high
