Quality and speed are not diametrically opposed. A great engineer does well on both axes by building the minimal thing needed now in a way that is easy to extend in the future. I h…

I’m curious about this scale vs speed distinction. Every codebase includes parts that are more experimental, and parts that are more core. My sense is that AI can help on both of t…

Engineers seem to think business people don’t know what they are doing, but if your post were true, then companies would add slack to outperform their competitors. The broken syste…

My prediction is that we'll start to see a whole new layer of abstraction to help us write high quality code with LLMs - meaning new programming languages, new toolchains, stricter…

The EV tech seems to be good enough already in China

Doesn't the conversation.history permission let a Slack bot extract all messages? https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/conversations.histo...

People were saying the same last year, and then Anthropic launched Claude Code which is already at a $2.5B revenue run rate. LLMs are useful and these companies will continue to fi…

I was wondering this too. I assume it’s because child care costs are lower when one parent isn’t working(?)

They also did an MRI scan on Honnold and found that he doesn't have the usual fear response. It's not clear if this was trained away, or if it's something innate. https://nautil.us…

It seems like the biggest downside of this world is iteration speed. If the AT instagram wants to add a new feature (i.e posts now support video!) then can they easily update their…

I enjoyed hearing Claude Code creator Boris Cherny talk about "latent demand"[0], which is when users start using your product for something it was not intended for. When that happ…

Claude can also write and debug tailwind for you! :)

It’s more about cognitive load, and abstraction level. If you’re trying to make an object spin, it’s much easier to use the tailwind class than it is to remember css keyframes. Sur…

People like tailwind because it feels like the correct abstraction. It helps you colocate layout and styling, thereby reducing cognitive load. With CSS you have to add meaningless …

Agentic AI companies are doing millions in revenue. Just because agents haven’t spread to the entire economy yet doesn’t mean they are not useful for relatively complex tasks.

A philosophy of software design by John Ousterhout is the best software book I have read. But, from your post it’s not clear specifically what you are looking for. If you think you…

I think this is a huge use case for vibe coding, and something I’m excited to do more in 2026. There are so many apps I want, that companies are not incentivised to build for me.

I'd bet a lot of people are trying to optimize their codebases for LLMs. I'd be interested to see some examples of your ASI-unlocking codebase in action!

I predict people will want an ultra-thin phone, even if it’s just for weight reasons. We’ll see what the sales numbers are like.

Yeah it's not clear to me how many of his shares he sold but it seemed to be a substantial chunk. The board seemed to be pretty anti-Amelio already so it wasn't clear to my why Ste…

It seems like agentic browsers will develop aa new set of core primitives (e.g. always ask for manual approval when spending money), and this flavor of security vulnerability will …
