Bro remember when all the Silicon Valley blue checks on this app were posting about “The Golden Age of America is here” lmao

@SamAntar Cars do the exact same and take up 6x the space

On average Citibikes are idle 98% of the time and even when used they can only transport one person at the time. This is what the cult calls “mass transportation.”

@skooookum The steps you get built in to your life overrides any environmental effects. Sedentary lifestyle is more of a killer than anything else

New York City has got to be one of the unhealthiest places to live. Shame it’s the best place on earth.

@MetamateDaz In-n-out. It's all we have left from a bygone era

we're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every rundown studio apartment is $1500, every fast food meal is $20, every luxury condo has razor thin walls, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

@AomineReborn why is this video 8 hours long

I got chills.

@Spectrumofreas1 @Scobleizer It's going to be much more than 500,000 I'm afraid

@Scobleizer During COVID Big Tech hired about 1,000,000 excess tech workers. After COVID they've laid off only about 500,000 Looks like the remaining 500,000 layoffs are finally happening. Better late than never.

Wow, the layoffs are gonna be brutal soon in Silicon Valley.

@kelvinhtat @iamAlexTurnbull People really aren’t seeing it yet huh

@iamAlexTurnbull So how are juniors going to become seniors?

My friend who is a CTO of a 50-person $100M ARR startup: "We used to hire 2 juniors for every senior. We’ve hired 0 juniors since 2024. The seniors are 3x more productive with AI. I don’t even have a pipeline of junior hires anymore"

@YIMBYLAND @americanhousing San Diego when??

context: he’s saying you should wait for the first @americanhousing homes to drop later this year.

@jadroy2 @internetvin The cost of software will soon go to 0. It will be completely bespoke, ephemeral. The window of time we have before we get there is closing rapidly.

@a__pay @internetvin What do you even mean by this, like what does this even mean?

wait what the fuck so everyone is noticeably working more than they were before? fuck man.. been having these weird moments through the day for months now where I'll think "what am I doing man.. my life is flying by.. why am I working so much.. I hope I know what I'm doing" I was texting a friend of mine about all of this, and he replied, "It’s always like this. Instead of doing things faster and having more time to explore everything else these tools just move the goalposts"

@jonathan_wilke Someone’s gotta say it

Cursor is just so much better than Claude Code.

Daily steps hack, take a little loop around the house when you submit a prompt

Codex 5.3 is one-shotting things I wouldn't have thought possible 3 weeks ago

@thsottiaux Performance

Codex team is fairly distributed, but most of the team is gathering in person over next 48 hours to take a step back and align on what’s next this year. What should we discuss?

@embirico @ryancarson When handing off to local, would be great if the agent thread could start working in local, or at least the option to switch manually. Right now when you pass off to local you have to keep syncing as you continue with the same agent

@ryancarson We are also not in love with the worktree implementation and are revving on it! Would love to hear any gripes or wishes you have. Also, we designed the app so that opening separate local checkouts as separate projects works. Would love to know if that works well for you.

I love the Mac Codex app but I'm not in love with how git worktrees is tied into it. It's easier for me to keep track of what's happening when I have multiple local checkouts. I might switch to the Codex CLI. What is everyone else doing?

Coming around to Codex. Obviously 5.3 is a beast, but from a UI perspective it’s quite delightful, code review feels like “code review” and less like “code approval”

@abustamante @brezina Tern GSD is our trusty urban steed

My little one is now 1. The time has arrived. I need a solid, electric, safe bike for my daughter and me to zip around SF. Recommendations? cc @brezina

Codex 5.3 is insane, my only gripe is it's obsessed with keeping backwards compatibility with previous iterations of feature code even if it was the same branch just different sessions. Seems overly trained on large production codebases maybe (perhaps what makes it good)

I’m starting a collection. Please send photos that give off a similar vibe.
