Claude told me 3 months ago when it started that it's database design was 'elegant'—then later called the exact same schema a 'classic normalization error' that made the app unmaintainable.

Here's a flow I've found works nicely on @cursor_ai 1. o3 for planning 2. Once its done tell it to write code first. Do terminal commands only when its done all code. Then leave build and dev testing to me. 3. Get sonnet 4 to do the implementation This way it doesn't get stuck…
I love AI It makes everyone's work so similar and it's become easier than ever to be different So now I just write all my posts manually. Zig when others zag
No matter what stage you are at, if I was teaching you and your business about AI I'd be looking at ways to move you up the ladder from method thinking to strategic
o3 for research and planning and sonnet 4 for implementation is the best combo right now. it’s not even close
Claude code is great except if it crashes @cursor_ai and the conversation history is underrated and all the nice things like checkpoints
ChatGPT codex is available on the $20 a month plan and allows you to do coding changes directly on the app. If you have ChatGPT give it a go. It's nice having no friction (it runs your whole repo in the cloud)
I like openrouter for viewing the overall market share for LLMs. Interesting how Google has been building market share consistently.

#79 in technology for my @SubstackInc! Pretty stoked as I only started doing weekly newsletters last month.

Using AI a lot makes me bullish on hiring people who can play 8 games of poker at once with a positive EV I feel like it's turning into the same skill set
