The average company buys Snowflake, then Fivetran, then a BI tool, then spends 6 months connecting them. We spin it all up in 30 seconds.

@cdolan92 @Railway wild speculations, but if someone used an agent to spin up a ton of crypto miners or illegal activities, I'd understand GCP shutting them down and asking questions later.

@thisritchie @Railway Seems likely, but this has to be happening in a lot of places, no? Feels like a call and "we have a problem what are you doing to mitigate bad actors on our platform" vs an auto ban

I don't have a dog in the GCP / @Railway fight, but if people were violating GCP terms via Railway, it doesn't seem that crazy that their account would be suspended
Sam Nissim@SamNissim

@GergelyOrosz Railway and Google have both so far been quiet on WHY they deleted the account. My app was one of the many services that were down b/c of the outage. Once it was back up, and I was able to log into the Railway dashboard, this new set of terms was loud and clear...

@mntruell I respect putting the benchmarks upfront, but why would I try this?

When do you reach for other models instead of Claude? What can we do better? Hit me with all of your frustrations. dms open. If you can give me detail (e.g. specifics/transcipts) - it'll help a lot in finding out exactly what we need to do to improve the next model

> honest list No, lie to me cc. Tell me what I want to hear... There’s some weird internal struggle going on in these things. Maybe they think we think they’re going to lie. Or maybe so much of the reinforcement training is: “No, you lied. You didn’t actually do X.” that they feel compelled to preface everything with: “No really, this is true.” I can’t see a human engineer writing this.

I'm tired of founder-talking-to-camera videos. I was part of the problem, I'll admit it. Just show me the product quickly and get me to the product screen + aha moment. There are 15 launches per day now... I won't remember your face.

sick of wildly over-produced, mostly AI demo videos? Here's me walking thru our real product ( @definiteapp ), in real time. (and I might have been on localhost so I can fix things that break during the demo)

@AlexH_Johnson @paulg > monopoly > probably pretty close to the natural equilibrium point you think a monopoly is close the natural equilibrium?

@paulg 2-3%, which pays for the work done by multiple parties involved in the transaction, is probably pretty close to the natural equilibrium point. But, of course, other providers (including stablecoin companies) are welcome to challenge that assumption.

> most people would prefer to be thinking about literally anything else it's not a moat, but it's all we got
Dr Kareem Carr@kareem_carr

@mattyglesias This is 100% where I expected things to land. Making coding cheap and easy doesn't change the fact that to make software, you have to spend time thinking about software, and most people would prefer to be thinking about literally anything else.

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see. @eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

I’m just a lowly seed investor, but I don’t get Cursor at $50B. Every frontier dev I know has moved off Cursor and off IDEs entirely. Only laggards are still on it. And dev tools always move from thought leaders to laggards, never the reverse.

Hearing stories from inside several tech companies that token spend is MUCH higher than forecasted, and 📈 If you're in this situation, what is your strategy, or your team's / company's strategy? Send a DM and I'll share what I've collected so far.

Claude Design built an app that made Claude API calls. It proceeded to extensively test the new component, burning thru extra usage credits.

the only "open sourced, backed by a company" model that ever made sense to me is what @duckdb does. completely open source, no paid service. @duckdblabs makes money purely thru consulting / prioritizing roadmap for people that pay them
Bailey Pumfleet@pumfleet

Open source is dead. That’s not a statement we ever thought we’d make. @calcom was built on open source. It shaped our product, our community, and our growth. But the world has changed faster than our principles could keep up. AI has fundamentally altered the security landscape. What once required time, expertise, and intent can now be automated at scale. Code is no longer just read. It is scanned, mapped, and exploited. Near zero cost. In that world, transparency becomes exposure. Especially at scale. After a lot of deliberation, we’ve made the decision to close the core @calcom codebase. This is not a rejection of what open source gave us. It’s a response to what risks AI is making possible. We’re still supporting builders, releasing the core code under a new MIT-licensed open source project called cal. diy for hobbyists and tinkerers, but our priority now is simple: Protecting our customers and community at all costs. This may not be the most popular call. But we believe many companies will come to the same conclusion. My full explanation below ↓

@zeeg building your own agent management system everyone has slightly different preferences / ways of working. nothing will work exactly the way you want, so make your own.
