Communities are fundamentally a form of leverage. It’s 10x easier to join a community than to build your network 1 person at a time.

This is my take too, summarized much better than I could have put it

@haridigresses @Workday 100% agreed. Closed platforms are pariah states in a post agent world. My contrarian view is that this same dynamic will take down LinkedIn. The prize is now too great to be hoarded.

This is the beginning of the end for @Workday. Charging for data use and egress is the sort of rent-seeking behavior that companies employ when they've run out of innovation DNA. Hey Workday — it's not *your* data, it's your *customers'* data, and they can do whatever they want with it. If you want to block the "parasites", maybe just build a better product instead of engaging in anti-competitive practices (hi @FTC!). If you think you command the same pricing power with @HiBob_HR and @Rippling nipping at your heels, you're in for a rude shock. And just wait until someone builds an open-source Workday (I would bet this is a thing in the next few years). PS: Rippling also exhibits similar (in fact, worse) closed-platform tendencies, and I think it's a big mistake. I hope they change this philosophy. Open ecosystems tend to win in the end.

@haridigresses It's funny you mention this. I've been working on an AI CEO and it is *so* hard to force the model out of its "helpful assistant" training. It'd be awesome if someone released an 'org chart' of models fine-tuned with different personalities and specialities.

I revise this statement. I was excited by GPT 5.4 showing much of the cleverness and creativity of Opus. But it turns out to have also inherited many of Opus' flaws: - poor instruction following - coloring outside the lines in breaking ways - incomplete execution Not to anthropomorphize too much, but apparently coding models are just like coders... you can either be a cracked straight-line execution machine (with little taste), or an eccentric genius with clever ideas (who can't be kept on track). You can't have both. Whichever model cracks this will actually solve programming.

everything in the GUI should be available in the API this will be the theme for us for the remainder of the year the UI becomes the preview layer for agentic work if you can click it, you should be able to prompt it

@kaseyklimes If you didn't know about the snow storm in New York, this tweet would be kinda sinister

if you’re short on karma and you have a shovel there’s a public crosswalk with your name on it out there waiting for you

Thanks to everyone who reached out about the @ConHome article yesterday. Let’s not get distracted by what the establishment thinks - they’re the ones that got us into this mess. Forest City has so much potential, so it’s important we focus on execution. Progress is the best antidote for skepticism.

The only thing that matters in consumer software is velocity of shipping. You will regularly be wrong about what people want: no one is a perfect psychologist. But if you are out at the frontlines with concepts everyday, your team will have their finger on the pulse of users and know where to add fuel.

this is an incredible piece 🤣

US founders: We are going to build godlike intelligence and live forever and control the weather and oh also colonize space. Americans: That sounds great thanks, how do I invest? UK founders: We are going to make life marginally more tolerable. Brits: Oh come off it

@nicochristie Exactly that same workflow over here fwiw

Multi agent explore, plan via rounds of q/a, multi agent plan critique, refine plan, execute with fresh agent, multi agent critique, refine and critique with fresh agents until it can’t get any cleaner Then PR Are we all doing this are do i have CC psychosis

i have never experienced more flow state in my entire life than the past few weeks the unbearable opportunity cost of literally doing anything other than making sure your fleet of agents are running 24/7 is a ridiculously motivating force

Type 2 fun and genuine hardship are very different things, and nobody is more frustrating than the person who doesn't realize that.

Using Claude Code feels like babysitting a young god.

Here's my general sense of where things are headed: 2025 → 2026 - 10x engineer → 1000x engineer - 1x engineer → 10x engineer - Vibecoding knowledge worker → 1x engineer (or maybe like 0.7x engineer?) - Non-vibecoding knowedge worker → ngmi 😬
