@amorriscode If you can improve the virtual machine instantiation and management on Windows, that would be great. Pretty flaky and requires to reinstall, restart periodically.

if you like claude code desktop today, you're going to be pretty happy in the next few weeks. things are starting to feel really good. thanks for your patience while we iterate on this one. happy sunday. 🫡

@bcherny @Scobleizer Mac and Windows? BTW, Windows desktop is really flaky.

🎶 I've been using voice mode to write much of my CLI code this last week Can't wait to hear what you think.

@claudeai, using Opus 4.5 is impossible as the allowed tokens are consumed even though results are not generated and then I am shut out for 4 hours. Is there a better way to operate?

@businessbarista Claude

I want to start a community dedicated to Claude Code. It’s become the gateway drug to coding and experiencing the power of AI for tons of people. This will be a space for people to share killer use cases, agentic workflows, proven prompts, and connect with other CC obsessives. Comment “Claude” if you want to join.

@michelleefang Yes, working on the Tax AI agent, Tai.

if you're vibe coding or building over the holidays, i want to gift one of you a 6 month subscription of claude pro to support <3 just drop a comment below. merry christmas!

@mischavdburg Linux. Cheers!

Linux is the most important skill to learn if you want to: - Get a 6 figure tech job - Work remotely - Start a freelancing business - Escape Big Tech data farming I created a FREE Linux Starter Course. Comment "Linux" and I'll DM it to you (follow me first or I cant DM you)

@dhh @ryanrhughes I have an old MBP, Intel CPU, circa 2009. Still a great piece of hardware. Would Omarchy work? Has anyone tried it?

Omarchy 3.0 is shaping up to be spectacular! We'll have full support for almost all pre-M Macs, including T1 and T2. No manual intervention needed. Just boot and go! Here's @ryanrhughes' first successful end-to-end T2 install 🤘

@frankdotlee @ycombinator @paulg I’d love to have the full list. Thanks!

i loved @ycombinator's recent video on @paulg's famous "do things that don’t scale" essay. i was looking for a repo of examples and couldn’t find one, so I put one together! here’s almost 100 instances of startups doing things that didn’t scale. ➡️ comment below and I’ll dm you the full sheet. ➡️ reach out to @useinari and i’ll personally figure out how to improve your product. 1. provide a personalized and “insanely” delightful experience 💕 provide "insanely" high-touch, personalized service by manually onboarding users and giving extremely quick support and product velocity (ex: stripe, algolia, warp, liquifi) have an exact person in mind you’re building for and make your product experience perfect for them (ex: substack) create a low-volume of exactly personalized demos (ex: commandbar, behance) send handwritten thank-you notes to early users (ex: wufoo, reddit) 2. go directly to wherever your customers are ✈️ share and refine your product by physically going to places your customers exist and onboard + activate them there (ex: airbnb, tinder, pinterest, hipcamp, uber, blue Moon, rent the runway) earnestly engage and embed yourself within communities and events where your users exist (ex: pinterest, behance, etsy, github, netflix) 3. validate the problem manually and punt scale for later 🛠️ manually fulfill orders yourself or hack an existing product before building something scalable (ex: doordash, instacart, lugg, vanta, airbnb, groupon, zappos, starbucks, producthunt) manually assemble your initial product instead of being blocked on external partners (ex: cruise, pebble, meraki) choose a scrappy tech stack that works for the stage you’re at instead of building everything scalable (ex: gmail, facebook, levels) manually label or curate data to deeply understand a workflow and product requirements (ex: pandora, andrej karpathy) 4. start a deliberately contained fire 🔥 deliberately constrain the initial user base geographically or demographically (ex: facebook, tinder, farcaster, buildspace) focus intensely on a tiny niche and iterate on product until there’s fit (ex: tbh, bitcoin) 5. be relentlessly resourceful and creative 💡 surprise users by doing unscalable and unexpected campaigns (ex: airbnb, antimetal, brex) find workarounds and temporary hacks for tech limitations (ex: facebook, twitch) 6. consult while building the product 🤝 provide consulting services in the domain you’re building to deeply understand customer needs then build product (ex: looker, vanta) use your product on your customer’s behalf to speed up product development and onboarding (ex: viaweb) 7. ask for help and referrals 🙏🏼 beg friends, ex-colleagues, and your network for initial users and incentivize them to refer others (ex: linkedIn, quora, yelp, facebook, producthunt) ask for intros and referrals from investors, other founders, and related communities (ex: lyft, substack)

@benln I’m interested to see that list, please.

I just sent out an email with a new, curated list of under-the-radar opportunities. It includes roles at breakout startups, co-founder searches, investing roles. Lmk if you'd like me to forward it to you.

@onedrive My administrative assistant is chilling.

Omg, this is… just royally magnificent

@SergioRocks Interesting perspective. I agree. My degree is in computer engineering, which is how the hardware of a computer works. CS was the minor. Both are borderline useless.

Computer Science degrees are mostly obsolete, because they teach about how computers work. Software Engineering is about how people use computers, what they build with them, and how they collaborate over the internet. Thus, a CS degree is largely irrelevant for most SWEs.

@OpenAI Your federal income tax example during the demo was insightful. How about state income tax, say for NJ?

Is there a #SalesTax tag similar in popularity to #TaxTwitter?

@SuzyQlovesWine Priorat, Petite Sirah

Most underrated wine?

@KonstantinKisin And you did it the old school! Brilliant

Like I said: cuter than 80% of puppies.

@techgenii It is my pleasure. Looking forward to an insightful exchange!

Hey Michael Roytman(@roytman), thank you for following me

@FlyFrontier is awful at customer service. Flights can be delayed, which is never your fault, but neither is ours. Your nickel and dime game is also getting old!
