@boagworld There is a sort of flow state that I'd get into when doing early product and design work. Holding the problem and solution spaces in my head as we worked through it together. That is missing now.

Am I the only one that is blown away by what AI can enable me to do but find myself left with a feeling of being slightly less in control of my work than I used to be. When you're not involved in the nuances of creation, you're not so connected with what you're producing and it leads to a sense of unease, at least for me.

@bnj @variantui Would love to try @variantui

Introducing @variantui Enter an idea and get endless (beautiful) designs as you scroll No canvas, no skills or MCP, no constant prompting Reply if you'd like 200 free designs to give it try

@mitchellh Noticing that I have an emotional reaction to others seeing my prompting. I do not speak to LLMs in the way I present publicly. Feels vulnerable, and would constrain my flow knowing others are watching.

The real future we need is better broad support for mapping each line in the diff back to a complete and public history including prompts. Thread sharing from Amp and Opencode help with this, but I need a `git blame` equivalent. The session exposes true expertise or slop.

@zoink Yes, agree in principle. Also, separately, I feel like crafting these "constitutions" as an artifact showing the intersection of product intention and organizational values is incredibly fertile ground.

Strange to encounter such a comprehensive yet apologetic "constitution" where paradox + self-contradiction are so openly embraced. Perhaps this isn't just an ontological trap for Claude, but also an attempt to bind Anthropic from within? Completely chaotic game theory setup...

@mikeyk Nobody better right at the edge of what’s possible than you, Mike. Congrats!

There’s never been a better time to be a builder — Opus 4.5 & Claude Code keep surprising me in the quality and completeness of the products they can create. So I’m doing exactly that — putting my product founder hat back on and joining our Labs team to be hands-on at the frontier, building products that channel AI toward solving the world's hardest problems. Excited to pass the baton to Ami Vora as she leads the product team in scaling Claude.

And here's the tool I built with Claude. Try it out! veen.com/metcalfe-gener…

It feels like we are heading toward a future of super powerful, totally disposable, completely personalized tools. I started feeling this way after building a cool visualization tool—here's what I learned along the way... 🧵

Awesome chat with my Partner @puneet324 and @geneteare last week on all things AI and seed. "These are waves you live for." news.crunchbase.com/ai/true-ventur… #trueventures

.@DanielLurie turning SF around one AI conference at a time! And schooling me in selfie video etiquette, nonetheless. Catch us backstage at ConnectedStack and hear where @DanielLurie and @tonysphere like to hang in the city 👀

Every innovation wave comes with a familiar prediction: “venture is dead,” or now "irrelevant". Who needs VC when one person can build a $1 billion unicorn? I believe the opposite: AI will save venture and restore value to the entire startup economy. trueventures.com/blog/the-trage…

Just announced: @rauchg (CEO, @vercel) will join @kevinrose (Partner, @trueventures) on stage at #ConnectedStack on September 10 in SF. Hear how the future of the AI-driven web is being built. Seats are limited: connectedstack.ai

@ArtirKel @jhanatech Thanks for sharing this! Really enjoyed reading it all.
