Ultraplan uses roughly the same number of tokens (and subscription rate limits) as plan mode.

That’s a great trend

Most tech companies break out product management and product marketing into two separate roles: Product management defines the product and gets it built. Product marketing wires the messaging- the facts you want to communicate to customers- and gets the product sold. But from my experience that's a grievous mistake. Those are, and should aways be, one job. There should be no separation between what the product will be and how it will be explained- the story has to be utterly cohesive from the beginning. Your messaging is your product. The story you're telling shapes the thing you're making. I learned story telling from Steve Jobs. I learned product management from Greg Joswiak. Joz, a fellow Wolverine, Michigander, and overall great person, has been at Apple since he left Ann Arbor in 1986 and has run product marketing for decades. And his superpower- the superpower of every truly great product manager- is empathy. He doesn't just understand the customer. He becomes the customer. So when Joz stepped into the world with his next-gen iPod to test it out, he fiddled with it like a beginner. He set aside all the tech specs- except one: battery life. The numbers were empty without customers, the facts meaningless without context. And, that's why product management has to own the messaging. The spec shows the features, the details of how a product will work, but the messaging predicts people's concerns and finds way to mitigate them. - #BUILD Chapter 5.5 The Point of PMs

I was very big on plan mode in claudecode. Tried living without it today and it has been a much better experience!
Sometimes we are trapped in our own thinking
Peter Steinberger 🦞@steipete
I never use plan mode. The main reason this was added to codex is for claude-pilled people who struggle with changing their habits. just talk with your agent.

@amorriscode Thanks! Because the alternative is using notion/obsidian

@amorriscode are you thinking of having a cloud version of cowork?
Im facing a problem where my files and memory/context are only local.
Even with a git setup Im only able to use the files. But the memory/proj/context are local

This is my playbook for bootstrapping an AI agent business to $9M ARR.
The most important thing is that you need something repeatable and scalable, something where if you do more of, you get more money. You need the equation where you can arbitrage every dollar you spend into more dollars on the other end.
Here is how you get there:
1. if you're in B2B, just do the B2B stuff.
self-serve is very hard to make work in B2B. it's so much easier to build a sales team, teach them the product, and let them sell it, instead of building a very intuitive platform and hoping people figure it out.
that's why all these bigger companies are mainly doing "book a demo with us." they charge customers a lot more because there's no public pricing, and they can set the product up for them. you cannot rely on a middle manager at a non-tech company to put in the effort to use your platform, even if it's extremely intuitive.
if you're bootstrapping, you can't hire a sales team on day one. so you need momentum from self-serve customers first. but the goal is to layer in sales as fast as possible, get on demo calls, set up the product for bigger customers, and invest in building an intuitive platform at the same time.
2. content is non-negotiable, even if you're sales-led.
good content gets you brand visibility and brand awareness, and that makes all the other channels work much more efficiently. paid ads work much better if people recognize your brand. if they click on your page and see content that people are engaging with, good quality content, it compounds everything.
here's what that looks like:
video: it depends on your ICP, but we all know video is hard to do, and that's a good thing because it makes the barrier to entry much higher. you can signal that you are a serious business if you do good quality video content.
be creative within video, but don't get too creative with the kinds of videos. the kinds of videos you should be doing are product videos and customer videos. that's it. you can be creative in telling your customers' story, you can be creative in launching a product, but don't do the stunt thing, the office content, the random skits. they can work, but you only do them after you do the things that you know will work.
hire a videographer in-house. agencies are so expensive (this is just a good rule of thumb).
text + personal brands: you need personal brands for everyone in the company. EGC (employee-generated content) needs to be a non-negotiable. everyone on the team posting at least twice a week.
3. warm outbound is the lowest-hanging fruit.
warm outbound = outbounding people who have already seen your product. people who interacted with your LinkedIn posts. people who visited your site but haven't signed up. people who created an account but never finished onboarding.
these people are the lowest-hanging fruit. email them, call them, put them in a sequence until they become customers. you can have very clear KPIs for your team on this.
4. cold outbound, if your ICP is big enough.
be good at writing cold emails and managing your own infrastructure. don't go through an agency. build a system where you can send emails profitably. if it works, send more. if that works, send more. scale it until it doesn't make sense to continue. also do this in-house if it's an important channel.
5. SEO and AEO are extremely important.
whenever I want to try a new product, I ask Claude. AI search is a non-negotiable channel now. you need to show up there.
that means a lot of Reddit, a lot of review websites, a lot of talking to blogs and backlinking sites to make sure they write what you want with the messaging you want.
6. expansion: be friends with your biggest customers.
get on a call with them. know them by name. they need to have your number. they need to be advocates for you. build community around the customer.
a lot of founders do not see their customers as friends or a community. they just see them as revenue. that's so bad. your customers need to enjoy spending time with you and talking with you.
7. pricing is the fastest lever.
you need to find a good sweet spot for packaging and pricing. incentivize people to spend more money and make sure it's a good deal for them. there's no shortcut, you talk to customers, see what they care about, see what they get a lot of value out of, and capture some of that value while making sure they're successful.
8. margins don't matter early on.
if you have a $10M ARR business but you spend $10M to run it, that's fine. you can always cut costs. revenue is the most important metric. it's easier to cut costs than to make more money, so in the beginning, focus on making more money.
That's how we built @chatbase to where it is today. Most of this will continue to scale with us as we go to 100M ARR.
Yasser@yasser_elsaid_
9M ARR 🥳 So happy! @Chatbase is going to be a $100M ARR company. Some days I feel it's inevitable, we're past the hardest part, it's almost too easy. Some days it feels too hard and I need a miracle. Constantly moving between "I am a genius, how come no one is doing this" to "I don't know anything about anything". Follow to watch the journey, you will never be this early.

🚨 Screen Studio charges $89 for this. Someone open sourced the entire thing for free.
It's called OpenScreen. 8,400+ GitHub stars.
You record your screen. It automatically transforms it into a polished, professional demo video.
Auto-zoom into clicks. Smooth cursor animations. Motion blur. Custom backgrounds with wallpapers, gradients, and shadows. Webcam overlays. Annotations. Timeline editing. Export in any aspect ratio.
The exact workflow that Screen Studio sells for $89 and Loom sells as a subscription. Free. No watermarks. No accounts. No subscriptions.
Here's what you get out of the box:
→ Full screen or window capture with system audio and mic
→ Automatic zoom that follows your cursor and clicks
→ Manual zoom with customizable depth and timing
→ Smooth motion blur on pan and zoom transitions
→ Animated cursor rendering with motion effects
→ Webcam bubble overlay with drag-and-drop positioning
→ Wallpapers, solid colors, gradients, or custom backgrounds
→ Text and arrow annotations layered over recordings
→ Timeline trimming and variable speed segments
→ Crop, resize, and export in any resolution or aspect ratio
→ Save and reopen projects anytime
Here's the wildest part:
A developer forked it and built an even more advanced version called Recordly. Full cursor animation pipeline. Native macOS and Windows recording. Zoom behavior that mirrors Screen Studio frame-for-frame. Audio tracks. Webcam overlays with zoom-reactive scaling.
Both are free. Both are MIT licensed. Both work on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Download. Record. Export. Done.
100% Open Source. MIT License.

@Magdoub The tool built to help engineers write better code leaked by a build config mistake 😂
Classic….

Claude code’s source code got leaked. This guy created a full fledged documentation after 1 hr of the leak.
We live in fun times!
Vineet@vineetwts
I created documentation over Claude Code's Codebase, which explains - Its pipeline - How it works - How it handles Context - How it handles Memory & More Read it here - mintlify.com/VineeTagarwaL-…

@gvanrossum Correct + an agent has it’s own seperate context window. Which makes it easier to orchestrate multiple agents in the same session as cobtext doesn’t get eaten
English
I think I finally understand what an agent is. It's a prompt (or several), skills, and tools. Did I get this right?

@amorriscode I love claude cowork. Yet, I miss the multi-tab/pane TUI experience with CC.
Here are some rough ideas that I'm sharing on how it can look visually.
