I'm launching a marketplace for Vibe-Coded apps + AI Skills 👉 think AppSumo for people building with Claude/Codex in a weekend. Looking for early beta partners, DM me or leave comment. Will get exposure to 1 million peeps.

Wow @shoffr_in is insanely expensive now 🥲

Don’t know the numbers, but dude lives off wrappers himself while calling out others trying to build a business.

Working on @GetBillNomad guest flow this weekend. Nothing fancy, just making sure people get some work done before they think about signing up. I want to clearly align on with people that we are adding value. 🫶

@claudeai @jaykreps 🙏🏻

Effective today, we are: 1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans; 2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and 3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

@brian_armstrong “Non-technical teams are now shipping production code” 👀

This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian

@phalgooon whey too many

where there is a will

@claudeai I keep seeing in every other prompt "We couldn’t connect to Claude. Please check your network connection and try again." I am sure my internet is not that bad. Your socket timeouts are set to what 10ms?

So the ads are almost over. My learnings: 1. Signup is a big friction 2. My value proposition is not coming out clear 3. Something completely off with my landing page Action items for me: Will make guest flow default in upcoming week.

@Pratiik125 @wcandillon @expo Supercool ♥️

Playing with @wcandillon 's Skia + physics in React Native 🌧️ Made raindrops fall and interact with AQI numbers, small detail, but feels so satisfying.Might turn this into a full AQI app, Built with @expo

So, one obvious mistake from my end I guess is making users signup before they can use the actual product. Reading ads analysis and thinking I underestimated the friction.

Haha, thanks for the feedback on the ad,Mikhail. Actually it’s an invoicing tool for international freelancers. Currency conversion is ingrained as one of the feature during invoice creation and people working with clients from 3 different countries might actually find it useful. There are other value in the product as well :)

Чел изобрел конвертер валют за 12 баксов в месяц. Я попытался это развидеть, но рекламу мне показали в третий раз. Рекламу показывают за деньги.

Hey Hector, Salesforce is genuinely great. It also starts at $25/user/month, takes weeks to set up, and was built for sales teams at companies with IT departments. BillNomad is for a freelance designer in Manila who invoices a client in Germany and another in Canada, and just wants to get paid without learning a CRM. Different tool. Different person. No scam. If Salesforce works for you, keep using it.

@ssiddharrth What? Salesforce does this since many years ago. Your scam app is bullsh1t 😂

You invoice in USD. Your client thinks in EUR. Most invoicing tools show them your currency, not theirs. BillNomad shows your client the invoice in their local currency. No "what's this in euros?" emails. Add your Wise or bank details. No payment processor required.

Hey Tommy, you're right, converting is easy. But here's what gets messy fast: 1. Which day's rate do you use? The day you sent the invoice? The day they paid? Three days later when it actually cleared? That gap creates friction - you calculated one thing, they calculated another, and now you're having an awkward conversation with a client. 2. When you have clients in 4-5 countries and you're tracking this over months, it stops being a simple tap. It becomes a spreadsheet problem. BillNomad invoices natively in your client's currency - no conversion ambiguity, no disputes, no math. And that's just one thing. There's also: → Client management built in → Auto payment reminders sent in your client's timezone (not yours) → Flat, predictable pricing: no percentage cuts on your revenue But honestly? The thing I hear most from users isn't about features. I'm a solo dev building this. When something breaks or doesn't make sense, you're not filing a ticket into a void: you're talking directly to the person who built it. That's rare at this price point.

@ssiddharrth Listen best of luck, but is this really solving a problem for anyone? Currency conversion calculators are free on the internet. How does this provide value?

Harvest is acquired by Bending Spoons and people are complaining about their invoices being stuck. Try @GetBillNomad, DM me and get your first month free.

@theo Hey, if you’re still looking for an invoice management tool, checkout @GetBillNomad. Recently launched: no payment processing, simple multi-currency, and client friendly timezone based reminders.

Sharing this publicly in case anyone wants to start a functional invoicing software company. I see a decently sized disruption opportunity here. Existing options all borrow some amount of the suck from incumbents (Quickbooks)
