just finishing building, getting final tweaks done so people can download the software. have a handful of closed people to launch to for initial testing, then plan is to launch a tad bigger in a private community of global founders i’m part, then be super engaged with them. not making money, purposely trying not to scale in the beginning. want as much direct contact with these people as possible to refine the messaging for a wider launch in the coming months

We found and fixed two issues that could explain this degradation of the capability of GPT-5.5 in Codex over the last ~ 48 hours. We are monitoring over the coming hours to fully confirm and I will reset usage limits this evening. Apologies and now is the time for /fast maxxing.
Tibo@thsottiaux

Codex team is aware of reports of GPT-5.5 performing worse for some users and investigating. We don't have anything conclusive yet and systems are healthy but we will share updates as we go.

@thatguybg yeah but hasn’t this been a thing for a while, like those german brothers in Silicon Valley or something were notorious for it and they had the capital to actually crush you with their copycat.

I get copying general patterns or features to stay competitive but what is the psychology of ripping off entire websites/brands/etc verbatim?
Avi Patel@avipat_

General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled. (skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context) I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of. This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.

@peduarte i like the idea, it you have to look at it pretty closely for a couple seconds to get it. otherwise it looks like it’s super 3D. if they flattened it a bit and lightened the green, i think it would hit harder.

when i first saw spotify's new app icon, my immediate gut reaction was: wow that's pretty cool then some dude with a few thousand followers and said it sucked and in a blink of an eye everyone started hating on it i still think it's pretty cool

the root of all greatness is obsession. and obsession just starts with curiosity. and curiosity just starts with observation. if you want to be great or bring something great into the world, you have to open your eyes, look around, and observe without judgment and see shit for what it is.

Had this idea to build a built-in testimonial feature. First 100 paid users get a discounted founding price. AND they get featured on a “Wall of Founders” on the hero page. Genius idea or just another stupid one?

For every person who replies with a screenshot of their cancelled Claude Code plan, I will donate $10 to open source.
Theo - t3.gg@theo

I can't help but feel personally burned by the Claude Code changes announced today. We put so much work into wrapping the (atrocious) Claude Agent SDK in T3 Code. It was the ONLY path they supported, so we made it work. It was hell. Now our users are getting their rate limits cut by 40x, despite us doing everything right. I listened to the Claude Code team. I had my issues with their direction, but I trusted them and took them at their word. I will never make that mistake again. Until we see significant change, it is safe to assume any statement from an Anthropic employee is a lie on a timer. The rug will be pulled, no matter how many promises are made beforehand.

could i give it more than just my site? i dumbed down my site to capture the big idea, but my docs has a lot more info that might be helpful, or any other arbitrary number of links. once it has the right info, i'd want it to confirm its analysis and what it thinks is the demographic and is before going and doing the scanning of those site. beyond those, yeah i'd use it. what other aspects what make it a 10 min setup?

i continue to think this is the future. if you can build anything, the only reason that you'd use someone else's alraedy built stuff is that it is already done. with @bitfield_so's Runtime Kit package system, i believe i'm building a future where you get the best of both worlds: get someone else's already built out stuff, but integrated into your system (and setup done nearly as fast or faster).
Jake Castillo@jakecastilloooo

Cal AI's stack is almost 100% built with in-house tools. No serious off-the-shelf tools. If we needed something, we built it. Every dollar of dependency was a dollar of slowdown. Every "we'll wait for X to ship Y" was a chunk of a quarter we couldn't get back. No one was working as hard as us. No one needed to. We just couldn't afford to wait.
