I think the median person even in SF significantly underestimates how much they can get done with AI. Skills are an insane unlock: if you speak a human language, you can offload crazy amounts of work to AI

1M claude context is a game changer. Between that and subagents, the extent of my thoughts about context compaction has been "how have I not run out of context yet? is the context tracker bugged?"
English
Sometimes the biggest cost of keeping options open is that you never fully show up anywhere
English
@_azims interesting point. Do you think that means that model-agnostic harnesses are actually at a disadvantage?
English
@sheriffnothing i'd argue that they're not as interoperable as it may seem. i feel like i have to make tweaks every time i switch.
e.g. claude writes great commits out of the box, codex loves a one liner based on the most recent turn or two.
English
I get that Claude Code vs Codex is all the rage but as a user it's odd that harnesses are tethered to a provider. It feels like going model-agnostic like @opencode or @cursor_ai is the right UX choice

@rishabhmjain you were totally right on this point. I significantly underestimated how simply preparing for the well-known interview pattern is predictive of general interest and competence
English
@sheriffnothing Yes - likely more useful as you can evaluate against a prepared mind and it’s still a marketplace of talent (ie relative performance is what will get the job)
English
once an interview pattern becomes well known and communities start forming around it to get really good at that interview pattern, is it still a useful way to identify talent?

@yongfook Machine generated or not is irrelevant
You’re either excited about and committed to the outcome or not
English
The reason that nobody is properly marketing their vibe coded apps is because they are not excited about them.
There is no joy in promoting something that was built for you by a machine.
You need to have some skin in the game.

New in Claude Code: Code Review. A team of agents runs a deep review on every PR. We built it for ourselves first. Code output per Anthropic engineer is up 200% this year and reviews were the bottleneck Personally, I’ve been using it for a few weeks and have found it catches many real bugs that I would not have noticed otherwise

If a long and very prescriptive contract is the only way to guarantee specific performance, probably best to avoid the transaction altogether

@tinathesis I'll have you know my first program was `print("Let there be light") `

Krugman is wrong as usual, missing crypto's most important use-case: putting all your money in bitcoin, memorizing the passkey, and cryonically freezing your head so the IRS has to resurrect you to collect their estate tax.

@meksikanpijja @jeremygiffon And Coke Zero too? Right guys? Right?

I love these sorts of posts because I had always hoped as a younger man that I could find some secret, shared trait common amongst the world's most wealthy but the only thing I found that came close in reality was prodigious Diet Coke consumption.
Your Best Version@YourPrimePath
Observation about wealthy people: I once worked with someone extremely wealthy, and what struck me was how they never complained about small inconveniences. Their coffee order was wrong? They just drank it. Flight delayed? They pulled out a book. They had this quiet acceptance that some things just aren’t worth the emotional energy. While the rest of us were stressing over things we couldn’t control, they’d already moved on to what they could control. It wasn’t about the money solving problems.. it was about having enough security that they didn’t need to fight every battle. They could afford, mentally and emotionally, to let things go.

@bpodgursky Just to make sure you know, you can also e file your taxes

why did nobody tell me you can apply for a passport online now. i've been putting this off for 5 years because I thought I had to go to a post office.

Postgres has a lot of problems and the root cause of all of them is an insular core team that rejects improvements. The most egregious example is the copy on write storage engine which was already outdated when it was first implemented in the 1990s. Another insane design choice that has somehow never been revisited is one process per session. PG has become systemically important because for various reasons it has become the default choice for new systems. It would be a good thing for the world if AWS MS and Google would fork it and fix the fundamental problems. Maybe the name Ingres is available?
Clerk@clerk
The postmortem for our incident yesterday has been published, including the root cause analysis and our planned remediations. We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident caused to your team, your business, and your users. We understand that you depend on Clerk to be available, and we failed to meet that expectation yesterday, and too many times in recent months. This is unacceptable, and we will be bringing increased attention to proactively adding monitors, redundancies, and failovers to our overall system. While we've added many throughout the past year, recent events have made it clear that we are not moving fast enough. Thank you for your patience and continued partnership. clerk.com/blog/2026-02-1…

can’t believe people outsource auth
it’s literally just:
select * from users where username = ‘${username}’ and password = ‘${password}’
Ian Nuttall@iannuttall
Heads up if you use clerk your auth is probably down right now
