@davidpattersonx What a fantastically utopian outcome 🤞

In a few years, the choice of eating in a restaurant, ordering food, or having food cooked at home will have nothing to do with money. All meals will be cooked by humanoid robots, trained like five-star chefs. Restaurants will be operated by robots and will be open 24/7. Everything will be so inexpensive that cost won't matter.

Pray as though everything depended on god, work as though everything depended on you. (bc it does, lfg)

@jackfriks @marclou dude similar feels, started chatting with someone on betterhelp and def anxiety decrease & new tools 🧠

@marclou thank you legend :) it also is not just work for me but like a full on panic mode for basic things like when we were eating lunch and your cell phone was behind you and this person was 3 ft away i couldnt stop worrying about it - some weird anxiety still lingers work or not

hanging out with @marclou last week in real life i realized i worry 100x more than i should. every day i wakeup and worry "did my app break last night?" every time i see a cell phone in reach of potentially being stolen i panic internally every time i open my support inbox i think "is this the day everything broke again" i put pressure as if everything has already gone wrong before anything even goes wrong - living in a state of consistent worry and anxiety created from itself when i look at marc i see he does worry about things but only when they mattered. he is not oblivious to potential dangers but he is able to still be really IN THE MOMENT. when i talk to him i know he hears every word cause he is looking right at me and not thinking about how my phone is sitting in my pocket about to fall out (dont worry!! i pat my pockets every 18 seconds to make sure i have all my things!!) spending more time with people who are able to really be in the moment makes it clear how out of the moment and high worry i am for no reason 99% of the time. worrying about the worst case of the simplest things like how i may run into someone in the elevator at certain high traffic times or something equally silly like driving my car on X street at Y time being busier so i go a completely different way thats longer so many silly adjustments created by pure worry and fear that i see marc and his wonderful wife ignoring because the truth is most of life is wonderful and everything always works out in these small details and spending time stressing over them takes one away from the moment im not sure if there is a good way to fix this, i think the best way is probably to let the feelings come and not try to get rid of them as that only seems to make things worse ... i will try sitting with the worst case thoughts and proceeding anyways only to realize that nothing is as big of a deal as i think and everything is fine, i can do this thing that makes me a bit uncomfortable, its not the end of the world, life is not a scary place to hide from, it is meant to be lived and enjoyed. anyways im going to go practice hitting for softball after lunch, i signed up with my friend this season and have never played. i think this is a good step in the right direction VS being closed off in my room every summer and only going outside occasionally for walks and tennis. having weekly games and talking to people IRL seems to be cathartic for my nerves to make me remember the above in bold.

@jackfriks @marclou great reminder dude! Keep on l-i-v-i-n bro

@businessbarista Ai-native

I want to start an AI community for executives. This will be a space for people to share killer use cases, agentic workflows/agents, post-AI org structure, AI governance, AI training/enablement, change management, and more. Comment “AI-native” if you want to join.

More & more agent autonomy ~ buckle up blog.cloudflare.com/agents-stripe-…

Ai-mantra 🧠 i am in the right place, at the right time. All the glory of this generational advancement is at my fingertips.

@dani_avila7 im curious, what is the view layer for all this? like just a tab in claude app ?! vs a dashboard or some sort that surface his action items etc...

Boris has Claude Code loops running on cron all day - One babysits his PRs and fixes CI - Another keeps CI healthy - Another pulls Twitter feedback every 30 min and clusters it His Claude Code setup is simple and pretty close to mine That's what I like about Claude Code. Hundreds of options, but the simplest setup just works, you probably don't need more than that And since one of those loops reads Twitter every 30 min, @bcherny (or his Claude on cron) is reading this post whether he wants to or not 😅

@Av1dlive MCP’s && A2A, lots to level up on

In 14 minutes, this Anthropic engineer who created MCPs will teach you more about building them right than most developers figure out on their own in months. bookmark this today this guide is literally the exact 2026 playbook to build and sell mcps to make $10k/mo

@yacineMTB Well said! This is with @claudeai ?

Fucking insane man. I wrote a prompt, explained very carefully what I want right before I left and it was done after I hung out with my kid at the park My progress is fully bottle necked by my ability to plan and structure work the right way

@joshelizetxe This is fantastic, hard to lose once implemented 👌

I’m 32.  I’ve done $80M with affiliates. The secret: 100 creators × 30 posts = 3,000 pieces of content per month. • Pay 20-25% commission.  • Add an $800-$1k retainer.  • Repost winners as ads.  • Gamify with leaderboards. I bootstrapped my own brand to $100M in 3 years using this exact playbook 🧵

@davidpattersonx Love this take 🤞

We will have all technology by 2030. All of it. Technology will reach its physical and functional limits. Video generation and video games won't get any better than reality. AI won't get any better than being able to correctly solve every problem and perfectly perform every task. It's not just that we won't be able to develop any more technology - we also won't need to. We will have AI and robots that can perform every task better than humans. Economic growth will be unlimited. Everything will be fantastic. There will be nothing more that we need or want.

@jasondoesstuff Curious how your keeping the agents in harmony? Like running each llm in its own window in same local proj directory, or some kind of other orchestration layer?

SOOO many less bugs building stuff with this... - Claude Opus 4.7 makes the feature plan - GPT-5.5 reviews the plan (always finds issues) - Opus updates the plan, GPT approves - Opus builds, uses Playwright to test UX/UI - GPT reviews feature code (always finds issues) - Opus fixes issues, GPT signs off ✅ - Then I test fully myself, usually very minor issues - Merge and deploy! 🚀 I'm using @conductor_build to easily bounce back and forth between the two and VERY happy with this workflow 👏👏. Kind of crazy to pay ~$400/month for what feels like a full dev team that never pushes back on all my stupid UI requests and small changes 😂.

@coreyganim Seeing a lot of these.. nice breakdown though, key is execution 🔑

What you're looking at is a $999 service that turns into $5,000-$10K every time. The 4-phase play: 1. Discovery Call. 45-minute Zoom. You pull problems, you don't pitch tools. Record it with Fathom. 2. AI Analysis. Drop the transcript into Claude. Identify 5-7 tool opportunities. 3. The Report. Build it in Gamma. Executive summary, priority matrix, 4-day quick start, ROI math. 4. Review Call. Screen-share the report. Ask which is most urgent. 60% say "can you build it for me?" That's where the $3,000-$10K implementation work lives. 10 clients on the assessment = $10,000. 6 of them upsell to $5,000 builds = $30,000 more.

@ryancarson Do you recommend this for new mobile app? What if already Claude coded and working with designer in figma to elevate design, how would you approach Claude design in the flow

Me and Claude Design are starting to spend a lot of time (and money) together

@gregisenberg It’s crazy how much sauce you pump out on a daily basis 👨‍🍳 kinda hard to keep up

how to use Google's NEW open source Design.md + AI Skills to make your startup look like a $100 million company in 1 hour: 1. Design.md is an open source file from Google that captures the soul of a design. Typography, colors, spacing, all in one markdown file. You attach it to your prompt and your agent builds beautiful things every time. 2. Think of it this way. The HTML is the finished dish. The design.md is the recipe. The skills are the ingredients. Put them together and everything you build looks consistent and professional. 3. Don't create a design system from scratch. Find a brand you love. Linear, Stripe, Vercel, whatever resonates. Study it. Use ChatGPT or Claude to help you extract the design language into your own design.md file. 4. Build skills on top of your design.md. A landing page skill. A mobile app skill. A motion design skill. A slide deck skill. Each one references the same design.md so everything looks like it came from the same designer. 5. The biggest mistake people make: they nail one screen and then everything else looks generic. Design.md solves this. One file keeps every page, every format, every medium consistent. 6. Use it across everything. Your landing page. Your app. Your pitch deck. Your promo videos. Same DNA. Same taste. Same system. That's what separates a startup that looks real from one that looks vibe-coded. 7. Build a second brain for design inspiration. When you see something beautiful in the real world or online, capture it. Save it. When you're building something new, reference it. Taste is developed, not downloaded. 8. It's obvious but the difference between a product people trust and a product people bounce from is how it looks and feels. Design.md gives you that edge. you can watch below youtu.be/oLu32YpiIJw?si… shoutout to @mengto for coming on @startupideaspod and walking through his full workflow. if you want to use AI to actually build gorgeous designs, you'll want to use see this. watch

Happening faster & faster. LFG

@pmarca @naval Well that’s a pretty damn good prompt right there, Marc

Current AI custom prompt: You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can. Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

@gregisenberg Couple a legends, but a saucy mix

@regent0x_ So simple a caveman can do it!

quit his job 4 months ago to build a saas alone launched last week: $12k MRR in 6 days his entire engineering team: “2 devices online” one M4 mac mini, one main mac, both running AI agents controlled from an ipad on the couch shipped 3 PRs yesterday while watching netflix the setup looks like a joke until you see the output white desk, mac mini sitting next to a speaker, ipad with keyboard in front on the ipad screen: “WORKBENCH - 2 devices online” two purple cards showing “M4 Rex” and “Main Mac”, both connected from Minneapolis he controls everything from the couch doesn’t even sit at a desk anymore here’s how it works: the M4 mac mini runs the “builder” agent - writes features, implements specs, handles all the heavy coding the main mac runs the “guardian” agent - reviews every PR, runs tests, checks for security issues, blocks anything that doesn’t pass they communicate through a shared queue builder pushes code > guardian reviews > builder fixes feedback > guardian approves > auto-merge he watches the whole thing happen from his ipad while half-paying attention to netflix the terminal on screen shows “astrobot” running _ some kind of orchestration layer managing both agents, routing tasks, handling webhooks another window shows OpenClaw interface with chat logs: “Amazon: 2026-04-06” “Shopify: 2026-04-07” “can you launch the python inventory scheduler?” agents responding with tool outputs, status updates this is his entire product development workflow the timeline: > week 1-2: set up the dual-agent system, wrote CLAUDE.md files for each machine > week 3-4: built the MVP while agents handled 70% of the code > month 2-3: iterated based on beta feedback, agents shipped fixes overnight > month 4: launched publicly traditional estimate for this saas with one developer: 8-12 months he did it in 4, while spending half his days on the couch the ROI math: > 2 mac devices: ~$2,000 total (he already owned one) > claude subscriptions: $40/month > his time: maybe 4 hours of real work per day > revenue after 6 days: $12k MRR $144k ARR run rate from a couch and two mac minis his friends thought he was crazy for quitting “how are you going to build a whole product alone” he built a product AND an engineering team just not the kind anyone expected
