Wowza - ya'll have created a ton of these already . What are you using these for?? Would love to set up some calls!

@jack @blocks We're hiring people who like storytelling: vvd.world/careers

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

@trq212 The ultimate ergonomic experience for many folks though is still some version of Figma that "just works" would love to see some ways Claude Code can help get closer to that.

I'm obsessed with how we can increase the bandwidth of communication between humans and models, playgrounds feel like another jump here

@mckaywrigley Used to see your posts a lot, idk what the algo did

nobody ever listens

@mtwichan 🔥

There's $100 billion in healthcare billing mistakes every year. Insurers have teams to catch errors that cost them. Errors that cost you? Your problem. I built an agent to dispute claims. It found $224 in errors on a $330 bill for a routine checkup. Dispute sent. Let's see what happens.

@jsnnsa @sarick You either get absorbed by the labs or become a software artisan. Nothing in between.

@sarick acquiring the best leather makers wouldn’t have saved horse carriage makers

**taps sign**

@t_blom Design, specifically beautiful design, is a constantly moving target that is determined by it's predecessors. The most evident example is fashion. What you consider beautiful today was likely considered ugly a few years back and that cycle will continue.

This will remain true for about 2 more months.

@tbsrnstrm Signed up 🙌 Keep up the awesome work

@z_jebali There's a link in my bio to sign up for the alpha. It's being tested right now before its generally available a little later.

Love making these small interactions; swipe back to easily close what's open. Even before it's fully presented, which does make a difference to the experience. Available in the alpha today.

@Prof_Kalkyl very cool

@thdxr At first I thought nah, but you may literally be right about any kind of app.

this should be obvious but if you're building a consumer app you shouldn't have a landing page tbh if you're building any kind of app try not to have one if possible

@sarahdrinkwater @wabi pls send queen

Have a bunch of @wabi invites if anyone else wants a play (it's beautiful)

@zalkazemi @caravannotes Keep at it my guy, you've got a ton of taste, it's only a matter of time

I launched v1 of @caravannotes in July and ever since I’ve been lost. Today, I’ve finally figured out what I want to focus on for the foreseeable future. I want to build a personal ai-chat, thinking notebook, and digital vault for myself. That’s it. I’d love for you to follow my journey but I don’t care anymore.
