Taught my first class at Stanford Engineering yesterday. "Economics of the AI Supercycle" Condensing everything I've learned investing across the AI stack into a course. Nothing sharpens your thinking like teaching it to brilliant students. Packed room, great questions, blown away by the caliber of students from across the university. This is going to be a fun quarter.

Just spoke to a multibillion dollar company that completely closes their office for a week so that employees can hack with AI and reimagine products/processes in their work. This is what authentic AI leadership looks like. The typical big co will have their CEO make some empty AI declaration on an earnings call. They’ll provision a bunch of Claude/GPT licenses. Then they’ll implicitly say “figure it out. You’re on your own.” It doesn’t just hurt the employee. It hurts the company. Employees are the lifeblood of organizational change. Leaders should give the tools, the training, and the time to allow rank-and-file to bubble up inspiration for better products and a better way of working, then take these sparks & use influence & leverage to scale their impact orgwide. Top-down transformation alone never works.

Developers used to be the gatekeepers to software. Now the gatekeepers are the people who actually understand the problem. Like a plumber who knows that backflow test reports get rejected by the city 40% of the time because of one misformatted field will build a better compliance tool than any dev who has never pulled a permit. A land clearer who knows you lose the job if you cannot tell the difference between a 12 inch sweetgum and a 12 inch red oak on a bid walk will build a better species identification estimator than any SaaS company pricing by acreage. A concrete finisher who knows that a 4 inch slump on a 95 degree day means you have 11 minutes before the load is trash will build a better pour scheduling system than an engineer who has never watched a truck spin. An HVAC tech who knows that a 3 degree delta T across the liquid line means the TXV is failing before the homeowner ever feels warm air will build a better diagnostic tool than anyone reading a textbook. The domain experts are the new developers. It’s time to let the builders build!

20 million developers used to be the gatekeepers to software. Wabi CEO Eugenia Kuyda on who gets to build now:  "The only people who could make software up until last year or so [were] just professional developers... Very few people in the world." "Even if you have a good idea, go ahead, find an engineer, find a co-founder, find a technical co-founder to build this. But you can't really otherwise build it... It requires a lot." "But now anyone can." "This is just wild." "Before  we had to spend months developing that, developing an app and figuring out some illustrations and sounds. Now you just write one prompt and it's there." @wabi CEO @ekuyda on @solofounders with @julianweisser

Software development roles grew 15% over the last year while the overall job market declined 5%. That’s a 20% gap, up from 16% a month ago. What a narrative violation.

Lots of companies are now building primitives for an economy where AI agents are the primary users instead of humans. They're betting on an economy of AI coworkers. 1. AgentMail (@agentmail): so agents can have email accounts 2. AgentPhone (@tryagentphone): so agents can have phone numbers 3. Kapso (@andresmatte): so agents can have WhatsApp phone numbers 4. Daytona (@daytonaio) / E2B (@e2b): so agents can have their own computers 5. Browserbase (@browserbase) / Browser Use (@browser_use) / Hyperbrowser (@hyperbrowser): so agents can use web browsers 6. Firecrawl (@firecrawl): so agents can crawl the web without a browser 7. Mem0 (@mem0ai): so agents can remember things 8. Kite (@GoKiteAI) / Sponge (@PayspongeLabs) : so agents can pay for things. 9. Composio (@composio): so agents can use your SaaS tools 10. Orthogonal (@orthogonal_sh) so agents can access APIs easily 11. ElevenLabs (@ElevenLabs) / Vapi (@Vapi_AI) so agents can have a voice 12. Sixtyfour (@sixtyfourai) so agents can search for people and companies. 13. Exa (@ExaAILabs): so agents can search the web (Google doesn’t work for agents) If you stitch all of these together, you get a digital coworker that looks more human than AI.

you’re pitching garry tan “so what do you guys do” you start explaining he’s furiously typing . two keyboards. one hand on each. you’ve never seen this before “who are your top customers” you explain. he types. his apple watch is a strobe light of notifications “who’s your competition and why should i invest” you explain that there’s no competition and you are the best and only product in the space “false!” garry jumps out of his seat “i am the competition!” you are speechless “in this meeting, i vibe coded your entire company. and my gstack has already closed your top customers.” you check your phone. your stripe graph shows 100% churn “and look at this” garry shows you his imessage. there’s a text from 35 seconds ago. your top enterprise prospect that you’re trying to close? garry’s AI is trading baking recipes with the CEO’s mom “thank you for playing!” you have no moat. you are not admitted to the YC spring 26 batch.
“paula”@paularambles

garry in his office in his lobster outfit "okay claude... rewrite this but in rust... no wait... rewrite it like paul graham would" "garry you have a yc interview starting in 5 minutes" "one second. claude just one-shotted a distributed system" "garry they are in the zoom" "can they describe their startup to claude instead" "garry you are the interviewer" "hold on. claude says their idea has a better moat if we pivot them" "they haven't even pitched yet" "claude already knows" "garry this is yc" "...what's yc again"

My next side project might be something to help new founders create a simple marketing strategy. I’m thinking a 7-day sprint or something like that. Every day they will focus on a specific area. In my experience most marketing problems come from not knowing exactly what to do.

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a tool that optimizes your website for AI search engines. It’s called geo-seo-claude. It optimizes any website for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. → Runs full GEO audits with parallel subagents → Delivers 60-second visibility snapshots → Analyzes structured schema markup for LLMs → Exports complete PDF reports 100% Open-Source.

This one was very fun to build. /investor-pitch - a Claude Code skill that builds extremely compelling and beautiful investor decks, and a list of investors most likely to invest. Here's how it works: 1/ Scans your codebase and .claude file to fully understand your project 2/ Contextualizes the project with 14 blog posts I found interesting from A16Z, Insight, YC, Thoma Bravo, Founders Fund and Sequoia 3/ Looks at valuation data I gave it from 2026 and recent startup news to give you round fundamentals and valuation expectations 4/ Compares project to other companies using an export from Exa API I gave it 5/ Builds a deck, elevator pitch and TAM analysis for 3 different investor types based on outcome expectations (PE, VCs, and Angels). 6/ Recommends specific investors for you to reach out to and detailed answers for a YC application I'm still working on this, but I'm blown away by the output so far. Happy to share the the markdown file when done!

find every inefficiency in your Claude workflow with one prompt it finds where you're wasting time, where your prompts could be sharper, what patterns are slowing you down. copy the prompt below (bookmark to save it for later): ----- Scrape all of my Claude session on this computer. Analyze my usage patterns and give me a breakdown of: - What I do most frequently - What should become skills (reusable workflows/knowledge) - What should become plugins (standalone tools) - What should become agents (autonomous subagents) - What belongs in CLAUDE. md (project-level instructions) ---- takes 2 minutes to run. saves hours of inefficient back and forth.
