Mi compañero de trabajo tiene 45 años y ha pasado por: 2 matrimonios Ha perdido a sus padres Problemas serios de salud Bancarrota Le pregunté qué lo hace seguir adelante, su respuesta me hizo olvidar mis propios problemas:

Loved this video mashup. Good luck to all the entrepreneurs doing the hard, meaningful work of building! 1. Value is everything Build something people genuinely want, not something clever. A business only works if it creates value and can capture it. 2. Solve real, painful problems The strongest companies remove friction, save time, or eliminate frustration. If it feels optional, it likely is. 3. Distribution matters as much as product A great product without reach is invisible. Winning companies obsess over how they get in front of people. 4. Focus is a competitive advantage Most people dilute their energy. Great founders concentrate on a few high-leverage moves and ignore the rest. 5. Speed compounds Iteration beats perfection. Launch, learn, refine, repeat, faster than feels comfortable. 6. Simplicity scales The best businesses are easy to understand, easy to use, and easy to explain. Complexity is friction disguised as sophistication. 7. Mindset is not soft, it is structural Resilience, long-term thinking, and tolerance for discomfort are not personality traits, they are requirements. 8. Build for longevity, not noise Short-term hacks create spikes. Enduring companies are built on trust, brand, and consistency. 9. Leverage is the force multiplier that transforms effort into scale. Technology, media, capital, and people multiply output. The goal is not to work harder, but to work in systems that scale. 10. Execution is the separator Ideas are abundant. Relentless, disciplined execution is rare. The essence : find a meaningful problem, solve it simply, distribute it aggressively, and execute with focus over the long term.

@chddaniel @claudeai Ship

🚨 INTRODUCING: @claudeai just got a huge upgrade today Claude Opus 4.6 can now build iOS/Android apps And help you PUBLISH them on the iOS/Apple + Google/Play app stores We just launched Shipper as a way to empower Claude to: ✅ Build complete mobile apps ✅ Recreate existing apps ✅ Assure iOS & Android compatibility ✅ Autofill listings for both app stores (app icon, images, descriptions, keywords, privacy policy etc) Claude Opus 4.6 can do all of the above in one prompt for ~$0.17/app... Publishable from the first prompt & built in 5 mins, not months. You can try it on Shipper by asking Claude to "create a mobile app for my business" or "create an iOS app for my idea". To celebrate this huge step forward, if you comment "SHIP" I'll give random free get free credits.

This video by Scott Adams will rewire your brain to never feel lazy again. Excellent insight.

@trq212 @burkov I felt this several months back!

@burkov hi sorry you've had a frustrating experience, I wanted to clarify that we absolutely don't change which models we route to or 'nerf' the models but I would love to take a look at your sessions that felt dumb, if you hit /feedback and DM me the id we can check it out

It must be illegal to sell access to one model but serve a different one. Since yesterday, Claude has been making me angry, and it's the first time I've felt angry since I started exclusively using it for coding two months ago. I chose Opus 4.5 as the model for which I'm charged $100/month, but I know I'm being served something similar to GPT-3.5. This is fraud and theft.

Good GPU performance summaries - in 6 mints.

@paulg Not allowing to do federal agents its duty will have repercussions!

ICE just shot and killed a woman Minneapolis. A US citizen. How long before we say "Enough is enough?"

@AlexFinn Why shift+enter doesn’t work?

Claude Code pro tip: stop running it in Cursor and VS Code Just run it in the terminal It is SOO much more memory efficient. Meaning your computer runs faster and you can run multiple terminals at the same time Cursor and VScode slow down your computer so much If you use Ghostty as your terminal (free to download) you can split your terminal in 2 and have your server on one side and Claude on the other. This is my new workflow. I'm done with IDE's. Opus 4.5 is so smart you don't need to look at code anymore If you ever need to change an environment variable or something, just open the file in textedit through the finder and change it quickly THIS is now the best Claude Code workflow ever

@bentossell Can we have an audible option for these articles? @nikitabier @elonmusk

Man how lucky are millennial devs, just as we’re getting too old and tired for this job, all the tedium gets magically removed and there’s an amplifier that makes all of our knowledge 1000x more useful (and necessary)

Corollary: this is the best possible time for semi-technical non-engineers to catch up. Over the last 3 months, I went from someone who was a "technical PM" to ridiculously proliferous at shipping massive amounts of (what appears to be) quality code. Systems thinking + domain expertise are now FAR more important than the syntax of individual lines of code. In fact... getting caught up in the lines of code might actually be a hinderance. For context: I learned C++ in high school, then I was an Excel-monkey in my consulting days (but building complex models over 10-20 weeks that were basically data applications). I forgot any form of syntax over the last 20 years but the other experiences meant I built strong foundations in object-oriented programming, proper abstractions, systems thinking, and data structures. And I've spent most of my career in Finance, Biz Ops, Legal, HR... which means that I can be monstrously productive in building software for corporate finance teams. How productive? 500k+ LoC touched and hundreds of commits, in 11 weeks. Yes, yes, I know lines of code is not a KPI to optimize, but someone going from 0 to that order of magnitude should still paint a picture. And this isn't slop. It's reviewed by actual engineers on the team, and we're rigorous about PR reviews (in the earlier days I had to redo PRs from scratch many, many times because it wasn't good enough). The overall process works beautifully, because I have the multi-year product roadmap and the codebase architecture in my head. I'm able to consider future needs, and execute on a months-long roadmaps... in days. I genuinely feel like I just got access to a video game I've been yearning to play, for a long time... and somehow my copy came with God mode baked in. (This is funny because Andrej Karpathy is actually a god in this space and I'm probably just getting used to the power of building software, and just a teeny bit of Dunning-Kruger to boot...) But still. I share this because I chatted a few days ago with a close friend who's a really sharp systems thinker but not an engineer, who said "I feel like I missed the wave, it's too late for me to pick up vibecoding." I told him that I only began working in our codebase in earnest in early October. That things are changing so fast that those who previously learned to code are having to sprint really hard to keep up, too. That knowing the line-by-line syntax isn't the most critical for *most* products. That the game is changing every week... but that's a huge gift people like us, because it gives us a place to stand in order to move the world. And most of all, that if you're a systems thinker, have good taste in UI/UX, have domain expertise, and — I think this is somewhat important — that you love software... there is absolutely nothing stopping you from building something amazing. I *love* software. I thought several times about taking a detour to learn how to code, but life just never slowed down enough. Ironically, it was the practice of coding speeding up that gave me the opportunity to get on board. However long this lasts, I feel so fortunate to be able to actually get in there, and build something that I love.

@friedberg @RoKhanna @chamath I feel like @RoKhanna is trying to create a distraction of Democratic Party ‘s corruption news in Minnesota.

why not just raise income tax rates? because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”. you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens. you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.) the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen. the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure. it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking. that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all. i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%. want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes. want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…

Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts. I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, "I will miss them very much."

@friedberg @RoKhanna @chamath @RoKhanna will destroy California!

@bcherny @karpathy @bcherny does Claude code sporadically change its behavior, given I use the same model and same context prompt for different tasks? Sometimes it outperforms setting high expectations for my brain and next time I need to recalibrate my expectations since it poorly performed.

I feel this way most weeks tbh. Sometimes I start approaching a problem manually, and have to remind myself “claude can probably do this”. Recently we were debugging a memory leak in Claude Code, and I started approaching it the old fashioned way: connecting a profiler, using the app, pausing the profiler, manually looking through heap allocations. My coworker was looking at the same issue, and just asked Claude to make a heap dump, then read the dump to look for retained objects that probably shouldn’t be there; Claude 1-shotted it and put up a PR. The same thing happens most weeks. In a way, newer coworkers and even new grads that don’t make all sorts of assumptions about what the model can and can’t do — legacy memories formed when using old models — are able to use the model most effectively. It takes significant mental work to re-adjust to what the model can do every month or two, as models continue to become better and better at coding and engineering. The last month was my first month as an engineer that I didn’t open an IDE at all. Opus 4.5 wrote around 200 PRs, every single line. Software engineering is radically changing, and the hardest part even for early adopters and practitioners like us is to continue to re-adjust our expectations. And this is *still* just the beginning.

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.
