bc how else would PMs justify their 300k comp?
Slack is becoming so ran thru. MS Teams is a non-starter. Discord is gamer slop. I just want channels, threads, and DMs. Like nothing else. Why does every product tend towards slop like this?
By the time you read those books, they’ll be outdated.
you'll be unstoppable.
What? Why? Am I missing something?

nvm, seems like the Gemini app ignores the reference image, but Flow works. This is Veo 3.
Veo 3 didn't follow the reference image.

New Model Review: Using Claude Sonnet 4 to build Streamlit app! We weren't a fan of Claude 3.7, and we stayed on 3.5 for a long time, but it's now time to change! Claude 4 results on generating Streamlit apps are on another level. Comparison and coding tips in the thread 🧵🤫
I don’t get it. Why would someone stop using something that objectively makes them more productive? Sure, AI coding has many drawbacks but once you practice, you’ll know when it’s 100% safe to use (small refactors, write tests, clean up code) it and when to avoid it.
Just cancelled my cursor subscription, going back to writing my own code 🔥 I tried guys but this ain't it
This "parallel test-time compute" suggests that labs are hitting a wall for coding benchmarks (?)
The first one is better for startups (better in the short term) but backfires once customers realize they still need developers. The second one is better in the long term; so it's natural MS went with the latter.
Got to admit: Microsoft absolutely nailed its developer agent positioning. Other startups: "we built an AI Engineer" - suggesting to leadership that it will replace developers (and thus worth paying $$$ for) Microsoft: "a peer programmer" - suggesting it needs devs (it does!)
If someone made me a billionaire overnight, I'd also lean my head onto them like that.

WHO SHOT THIS? Cuz I would like to be friends with you and the entire team. We’re nitpicky af as creatives but every frame here is nearly perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽 to the entire team behind this.
Ok so now we have Codex (the coding agent), Codex CLI (which doesn't use the agent), and codex-1 (a model that Codex and Codex CLI use, except Codex CLI uses a "smaller" version of codex-1).
