An ongoing thread on things that made me think, wonder, or gain a new perspective, etc 🧵 1/n

Some people have been contemplating an idea for years, maybe decades. Obsessing, attempting, discarding, agonizing, retrying. Some of these ideas are unpopular, niche, impractical. Not obviously capitalizable. They live on in the inventor's mind. In 2026, millions of these ideas will come to life thanks to superintelligent coding agents. AI doesn't get tired. It amplifies the individual, and for better and sometimes for worse, it always takes you seriously. "Great idea. Splendid. Wow. You're absolutely right." A world of digital wonders awaits us. This world will disproportionally favor the boldest ideas. Software that once seemed impossible will be one hyperlink away. I can't wait to see it.

I wanted to share a bunch of my favorite hidden and under-utilized features in Claude Code. I'll focus on the ones I use the most. Here goes.

whoa! absolutely true! one person with the right AI tools can produce what once required an organization. I think I will follow along & do this async to see what value I can create in 10 weeks 💪 Can we build along @anjneymidha? 😎

Giving emotional goals work 😅 #buildwithai #Gemini

@prukalpa unconstrained thinking, imagination

Defining qualities for the next decade: Curiosity, relentless optimism, grit, learning ability, courage, conviction. What did I miss?

@paulg @karpathy @steipete Meanwhile, asked @openclaw to build a simple chrome extension to categorise high signal / insight comments 😎 github.com/surendranb/HN-…

@karpathy @steipete I emailed Dan and suggested a way to tell if comments have gotten worse. Comments have been awful for a long time, so it's possible that they're simultaneously very bad and not worse. But if they are actually getting worse that would be important to know.

After the OTP use & delete 😅, the most magical thing I've experienced in @Apple products is the Universal Clipboard

@geminicli And we're live🤘 Live App: …f-15-min-suren-1769573620.netlify.app GitHub Repo: github.com/surendranb/15-…

@geminicli "Blind Debugging" ho raha 🤣 - On a serious note, is there a work around here to give the CLI access to a browser interface? #buildwithai

Getting into the zone with @geminicli. Some emotions are better expressed in the vernacular 😂 Also, the first #buildwithai session for 2026!

@DaveShapi @kimmonismus @karpathy I've been building a list :) x.com/i/lists/200478…

Who are the most locked-in AI accounts here on X? I am looking for people who are constantly delivering either high end news (like @kimmonismus) or front-line insights like @karpathy Please HMU below so I can build out my Top Voices in AI List. Interested in everything including: - Frontier research - Applications and uses - Economic and social impact - Robotics, AI - Futurism

@BLUECOW009 Would love to be a part of the group

i wanted to make a group to talk daily research stuff, send papers, talk about AI news, who is interested? react or comment to be added

Exhausted the quota of #Gemini3 for the day!

@OfficialLoganK @GoogleAIStudio Would love to :)

Big upgrade to vibe coding in @GoogleAIStudio lands in Jan, but if you want to test early… 👇🏻

@kat_kampf @jocarrasqueira Would love to get my hands on.. Can't get enough Gemini tokens anyway 😅

@jocarrasqueira will help with onboarding to our trusted testers program :)

We started internal testing some big updates to the @GoogleAIStudio experience today! Coming to you early next year but reply below if you’d like early access in the coming weeks 👀

@danifesto Would love to try :)

ask your memory how you lead your team, based on real episodes from slack, gmail and more.

It is so funny to watch GeminiCLI lose its plot midway through a session trying to make sense of which directory it should work in #buildwithai 😅

idk why Google Search surfaced this page in the 7th position this morning 😂 FYI Espresso's birthday is on Dec 4 - just around the corner... What fun!

Watching @geminicli write & improve prompts for #Gemma using #Gemini3 model was amusing to say the least. Was experimenting with building a fully local credit card spend analyser app using flask, sqlite and @lmstudio #buildwithai Check it out: github.com/surendranb/ai-…
