i am using supermaven again and i have something to say about this whole AI thing. I think as a group (swe) we rushed so fast into Agents when inline autocomplete + actual skills is crazy. A good autocomplete that is fast like supermaven actually makes marked proficiency gains, while saving me from cognitive debt that comes from agents. With agents you reach a point where you must fully rely on their output and your grip on the codebase slips. Its insane how good cursor Tab is. Seriously, I think we had something that genuinely makes improvement to ones code ability (if you have it). Truly acts as a multiplier, and we left it in the dust because it is not sexy. hurts me on the inside.

I love the models Anthropic are offering, but I seriously hope it's a mistake that they're blocking alternative harness providers, like @opencode, from working with their subscriptions. Seems very customer hostile. github.com/anomalyco/open…

Some delightfully specific things people are building with Claude Code lately.

Didn't realize just how good @opencode is until I was forced to go back to Claude Code this morning.

@katiekirsch @a16z Congrats!

Big news: I've joined @a16z! 🚀 My focus is on ecosystem growth—building the connective tissue of the firm's network and creating environments where the most ambitious startup founders, operators, and technologists can thrive. This role is a natural culmination of my work over the past 10 years. As a founder, coach, operator, and investor, I’ve long been obsessed with bringing great people together to accelerate each other’s growth. I’ve learned that life isn’t defined by what you do, but by who you get to do it with—and that every great journey accelerates when you’re surrounded by the right people. At a16z, I’m partnering with @eriktorenberg, @david__booth, and the powerhouse New Media team in SF to bring our boldest ambitions and most impactful communities to life. A few weeks ago, we launched the New Media Fellowship which has already received 1000+ applications and will kick off in January with an incredible 8-week program for storytellers, creators, writers, and marketers. This morning, we launched Build—a new dinner series and community for idea-stage founders & operators figuring out their next big thing. build.a16z.com And there's so much more to come. Huge thanks to everyone who has supported me in starting this next chapter of my career—I can’t wait to bring you along for the journey.

I would pay a large amount of money to never be served a short form video ever again

Composer 1 has been a great model so far, switched to it from Sonnet 4.5 the other day and it's crazy fast and has one-shotted a few things that surprised me

I think about this tweet a lot

Maybe the answer is just that Siri sucks

It's surprising to me that we don't have better voice-driven virtual assistants. All the pieces exist to build great user experiences (voice, LLM, MCP) I should be able to book a haircut, sell my concert tickets, or take any other action while I'm doing chores around the house

Most software for home cooks sucks and charges you a subscription forever. Saving recipes, swapping ingredients, handling dietary needs, making grocery lists... It's all a mess. So I built a tool called Olea to fix it. It's live today and free to use. ⬇️⬇️

Finally!

@nutlope @togethercompute Yes please! The OCR portion seems very fast, did you speed it up in the video?

This app is powered by @togethercompute's vision models with JSON mode for the OCR portion. Happy to write a guide on how I built it if folks are interested!

Building an app to help people track their finances! It'll take in any receipts you have, extract the total $, and categorize it for you (dining, groceries, utilities, ect). Launching soon. Will be 100% free & open source.

@BrennerSpear @aus_base_eth @sesame This is so cool. Would love to read a write up on how you did it

I built a "Lil Guy" 🥹 an AI-powered companion device to chat with @Sesame on the go I've been calling it the Sesame Pie

What’s the best in class messaging app today? Telegram - good but gotten buggier, not encrypted iMessage - meh (slow, terrible search) WhatsApp - meh Signal - encrypted but terrible UX

It's now easier than ever to install Base MCP for Claude and @cursor_ai! npx base-mcp@latest --init

@DruxAMB @Story91_ @base @buildonbase @neodaoist @OnchainKit @0xEricBrown @hughescoin @fkpxls @CryptoStatuette @spicypaprika_ @0xyoussea I see you're getting a `401` unauthorized error - have you tried using a different set of API keys and ensuring that permissions are set up correctly?

@DMSchlabach @Story91_ @base @buildonbase @neodaoist @OnchainKit @0xEricBrown @hughescoin @fkpxls @CryptoStatuette @spicypaprika_ @0xyoussea same error, I hope I am able to fix it before the time elapse😪

😪My @base-mcp project is throwing API error, despite having the NAME, PRIVATE_KEY & PROJECT_ID in the env. @buildonbase Is there anything I am missing, somebody should help.

@DruxAMB @Story91_ @base @buildonbase @neodaoist @OnchainKit @0xEricBrown @hughescoin @fkpxls @CryptoStatuette @spicypaprika_ @0xyoussea for local dev, would recommend you use `npm run dev`! We'll clean up the scripts to make that clearer

@Story91_ @base @buildonbase @neodaoist @OnchainKit @0xEricBrown @hughescoin @fkpxls @CryptoStatuette @spicypaprika_ @0xyoussea will try, thanks

Come build on Base MCP!

If you're a protocol on @Base, you can now extend Base MCP easily. Get your protocols discovered by millions of users and developers.
