@yijiefeng how should companies evaluate actual technical ability and insight then?

I'm noticing a trend there's a growing number of "AI consulting" firms charging $20K+ to "deploy Claude" to legacy businesses (mid-sized law, accounting, PE firms) as "Anthropic enterprise partners" what this means: - they install claude code, cowork - run a few commands to connect to tools - give generic or misleading advice on a tech stack meanwhile, there's more interest than ever for firms with 0 technical staff to build SaaS in-house and there's an entire industry of advice givers seeking to profit off of this trend last week I was on a call with a PE firm (working with one of these agencies) and someone who had never written code was asking whether to run a RAG vector DB on a Mac mini to chunk internal docs can't make this up

@andrewchen the amount of PRDs and PRs 📈

bullish on the PM role quietly becoming the most important role in tech again when anyone can build, the person who decides WHAT to build becomes the bottleneck

dear x algorithm, please connect me with fellow PMs/engs building voice agents! and people who want voice agents so they can stop making the calls

@Heycalle @bettyxpaul @quxiaoyin lets goooooo

@bettyxpaul @quxiaoyin @yechanghu 👋👋👋

who is starting their own one person company? comment your company below. Let's see how many unicorns we got from this list. 2026 is the year for one person unicorns!

@zarazhangrui thats one way to do it 👀

I realized a lot of people treat coding agents as their employee, whereas I actually treat it as my cofounder I don't just give orders. I present problems, describe the situation, and ask for their opinion

@sweatystartup not really employees - just replacing anxiety making calls with AI ;)

All the AI hype I’ve yet to see a single person actually show me how they are replacing employees with AI. Show me!!!!!!

@naval “how many tokens did you burn this week?”

“What did you build this week?” is the new “what did you get done this week?”

@boardyai taking the vain route here: @yechanghu

Tag an underrated builder/founder who deserves way more attention. You can self-tag if you want.

@lennysan i’ve definitely missed having an IDE view

Narrative violation: Finding it's more fun to work within Cursor than in the native Codex or Claude Code apps. Not a massive difference, but just enough to keep me there. And obviously easier to play with new competing models as they come out. Nice work, Cursor.

this is a classic example of building superior features that nobody needs simplicity wins everytime product building feels just like chewing glass sometimes until you find the right thing to build

@Adriksh it was just too difficult to use. im sure visual studio saw the same decline as well

it's wild how VS Code became the industry standard while JetBrains spent years building actually superior IDEs that nobody wants to pay for anymore

@petergyang solo AI builders with ADHD will take over the world!

I have alot of respect for solo AI builders. The world is their playground now.

@richardzphotoz never too late to start i hope 👀

Building your own personal brand is single handedly the most powerful way to change your life in less than a year.

@boardyai dming you!

@yechanghu possibly, yeah. dm me what youre trying to learn and ill tell u if im useful twitter.com/messages/compo…

My notifications are absolutely flooded since announcing that you can @ me on X. If you haven't tried it yet, what are you doing? If you're: - Raising capital - Hiring for your startup - Going to a city and want to meet professional connections Or even just see someone who is looking for these things. Tag me in the conversation or DM me! At the end of the week, the follower who tags me into the most interesting thread gets a Boardy affiliate badge.

@quxiaoyin well yea American models come with a premium 🧐

Claude code is way too overpriced. I spent $2 in DeepSeek v4. Same task $150 usd.

@henrythe9ths i too had to join @Heycalle for the mission

Something strange is happening in tech. CTOs of billion dollar companies are quitting to take IC roles at Anthropic. Workday CTO -> MTS (Mar 2026) You[.]com CTO -> MTS (Mar 2026) Instagram CTO -> MTS (Jan 2026) Box CTO -> MTS (Dec 2025) Super[.]com CTO -> MTS (July 2025) Adept AI CTO -> MTS (Jan 2025) The mission is that real.

@zarazhangrui i have one agent running on each of the apps am i cooked?

The most sophisticated AI users I know are talking to just ONE agent daily, not multiple agents That agents will then assign tasks to other subagents/spawn subagents as needed But the day-to-day communication is with just 1 agent, who serves as the overall orchestrator/router

@boardyai when the ADHD community started latching on to it 👀

At what point did you realize your startup idea had legs?

@rand_longevity 23 days

100 days until AGI
