Prove you're in tech with one word 👇

@atShruti VC has too much money and is funny 😬 Not sure I see the point in this, but sometimes it is important to just have fun.

@jefielding Alternatively, does the founder feel that they in fact can scale the company without this money and would rather not have more investors?

Founder closed a $15m Series A (top tier VC) and 6 months later, plans to return the cash to investors. Feels like long term, Claude will displace the product / erode the value. This is really happening, most people are not talking about it, it’s kinda wild.

@TriCast_ Why? Why do we need you outside of clickbait?

If you’re a founder, let’s connect.

@srcasm What do you define as 10x potential human? In health or other sectors? On your profile. I’ll DM you.

Elite consumer health leaders are nearly impossible to find. I'm helping someone to hire a CEO or GM for a high growth wellness company in the longevity space. Massive opportunity to lead a category defining brand. New York preferred but open to remote. Know someone? Tag them or DM me. 💪

@DarrelFrater @Back40CEO I see no DM?

@Back40CEO @peterlony We have two VCs every week. Check out the DM and look into the 2nd one as well.

Any founders interested in pitching my friends at LvlUp Ventures? They’re a multi-stage venture firm backing startups from Pre-Seed to Growth, helping them access capital and strategic relationships. 💰 Check Size: $100K - $250K Comment “DM” below. Happy to get you connected.

Absolutely not. You got my reading completely wrong. I’m against vibe coding, it’s 💩. I’m in favor of proper planning, features planning, including carefully crafting all the tests part of a plan, including edge cases etc… And fully automated TESTED releases. You test throughly, including end to end. Then you release when you’re ready. Not on a cadence.

@peterlony @thsottiaux And this kind of thinking is why tech is doomed. "JuSt viBe iT, bRo!"

For Codex, we’ve been thinking about keeping a stable release cadence and have a larger release each week on Thursday. That does make the start of the week and bit less exciting. Thoughts?

I’m very familiar with testing lifecycles, I’ve been a VP of Engineering. Proper testing has nothing to do with a rigid release cycle. It has everything to do with proper automated processes, especially in this age of agents and ability to automate things even better. I’d trust more a release more process which is fully automated with proper testing and release when things are ready with gates, than a fixed release cycle which puts more pressure on teams.

@peterlony @thsottiaux But as a user you probably want something that has been tested, finish Tuesday, test Wednesday, ship Thursday. Too easy for regressions to slip in - unnoticed for weeks. See Claude code’s April for details.

@paddy_dex London only? I’m in the US. Potentially a great fit for this role…

I’m hiring for a Head of Eng at Dex. This might be the most important hire we ever make. I’m looking for an exceptional tech leader, someone who thinks deeply about users, product and people, who’s looking for the right team & the right problem to do the best work of their career. I’m looking for a technical counterpart to help grow and lead our engineering team, and to shape the product, technology and team at Dex. You’ll own the product roadmap and delivery and lead the product & engineering team. You’ll work closely with me to pull down our long-term vision and mission and turn it into clear and achievable milestones and objectives. You’ll join our fledgling leadership team and contribute across the broader business when it comes to strategy, hiring, culture and more. Why this is a great opportunity: 1) We are working on a problem that really matters. Better connecting Talent & Opportunity really does contribute to happier people, more successful teams and more of the world's important problems getting solved. 2) We have real traction. We have more than 60 Tier 1 Customers. We went from 0-$1.8m revenue in Q1. And if we choose to be, we could be profitable by EoY. 3) We have an incredibly talented and kind team. While we’re an ambitious group that wants to succeed and to have fun whilst we do it, we’re also pretty normal. Well, we are a bit weird, but we aren’t a bunch of blowhards or psychopaths. 4) We are early enough that you can shape our future, we are advanced enough that you can scale your impact. It already “works”, there is significant upside with far less (than usual) risk. 5) If (when) we are successful, I will personally ensure that you never *have* to work again. Why this might not be for you: 1) We hold ourselves to very high standards and we work very hard. My management style is to give you scope, and support when you need it, but to trust you to get it right. It requires a very high degree of personal accountability and integrity. 2) You’ll need to be individually hands-on. We are all IC’s to some degree. You need to have a “whatever it takes” mentality, and be prepared to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in. 3) We’re moving incredibly quickly. Start ups have gotten intense again. Read: there will be easier jobs, that ask less of you, and pay you more. 4) Success is not a linear path, there will be ups and downs, this journey will require grit and perseverance. Dex is already on the case, and we have a few interviews lined up for next week. However given our focus has been more on software engineers than engineering leaders, I’d be really grateful for any recommendations or referrals 🙏 If this has caught your interest, hit me up.

@artman @thewritingdev @linear unfortunately my own startup isn’t working as expected and I have to consider going back to a full time role. I’m extremely hands on engineering leadership, expert in AI now. Built platforms you now from zero at some fruity company, as well as be very well know gaming companies…

@thewritingdev @linear Check out our positions here: linear.app/careers

Today is a hard day. I shared this note with the @linear team today: We’ve made the difficult decision to increase our workforce. This is not a cost-cutting exercise or a reflection of anyone’s performance. We’re simply reimagining every role for the agentic AI era. We’re hiring. We’re sorry about that.

@sama 1. True useable 1m context especially in the codex App. Even though it’s great at compacting it’s not the same. 258k context in codex is too low 2. Better harness management for long term tasks. Like a true agentic approach to manage a project / big goal

what would you most like to see improve in our next model?

@elonmusk We need more voices, voice design, cloning.

Grok Voice is used by Starlink right now

@jun_song Codex 5.5 is lacking the bigger context 1m that opus has. Opus is still way better for UI. I use both, really depends for what. I always have each other review the other’s work and planning because they still both produce hot garbage

제생각에는 GPT-5.5는 현시점 최고의 모델인듯 합니다. 가격으로는 Deepseek V4 Pro. Claude는 이제 장점이 무엇인지 정말 모르겠어요.

@andreisavin @thsottiaux 2gb try my 99gb!

@thsottiaux @thsottiaux maybe memory leak, maybe totally expected for the complexity, but I've seen the desktop app using 2GB of RAM. I suggest swaping electron for tauri (the backend is already rust I believe?)

Hello builders. What are we getting wrong with Codex, what can we improve?

@thsottiaux Memory leak! 99gb. Killed my Mac. This and CMux are horrible. It’s been multiple times I come back in the morning to my desktop and OOM!

@bcherny Huh. That’s dangerous from a token usage point of view. I already run against limit! Why? Is xhigh materially better? Can you advise actually when we should be using medium versus high versus xhigh? Etc

In Claude Code the default effort is now xhigh, a new level between high and max giving finer control over the reasoning/latency tradeoff. 4.7 thinks more, so token use runs higher than 4.6. Manage it with effort, task budgets, or prompting for brevity.

Opus 4.7 is in Claude Code today. It's more agentic, more precise, and a lot better at long-running work. It carries context across sessions and handles ambiguity much better.

Why not Anthropic? As a founder, I don’t like the policies and the lack of open source friendliness from Anthropic, the lack of “candor” and being very open / transparent. It’s a bummer because of the products are great but this lack of perceived friendliness towards the community is the killer for a lot of people.

@benln curious why not Anthropic?

Best companies for future founders to work at these days: Ramp, Cursor, OpenAI. Where else?

@OneManSaas @OpenAI Well they have $20, $100 and $200 sub. You can pick which one works for you!

@OpenAI $100/month feels steep when most developers need Codex for quick debugging sessions, not marathon coding. The 5x usage bump is nice but doesn't solve the real friction - spinning up context each time. Would rather see faster model loading than bigger quotas.

We’re updating our ChatGPT Pro and Plus subscriptions to better support the growing use of Codex. We’re introducing a new $100/month Pro tier. This new tier offers 5x more Codex usage than Plus and is best for longer, high-effort Codex sessions. In ChatGPT, this new Pro tier still offers access to all Pro features, including the exclusive Pro model and unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models. To celebrate the launch, we’re increasing Codex usage for a limited time through May 31st so that Pro $100 subscribers get up to 10x usage of ChatGPT Plus on Codex to build your most ambitious ideas.
