    Except that gold-rush-like booms tend to attract individuals who are more risk-taking and entrepreneurial. So of course there will still be losses in a downturn, but this is a self…

    It was all distillation up to this point anyway. And I agree with what Suhail said on twitter: "Make the margins next to zero for all these AI models. It was trained on humanity's …

    The point isn't that people will vibecode their own SaaS. It could mean the end of extremely high-margin software businesses, as building cheaper, better alternatives becomes easie…

    Which large companies seem best at trying to avoid this? Apple, Airbnb, Box?

    So many years reading his newsletter, and forever grateful for Om. He replied to a cold email a long time ago with very specific, helpful advice on a project I was working on. What…

    I wonder if package indexes become more important in our new day-to-days with LLMs, not less. We might be browsing less, but the models need a source of truth for package metadata,…

    I was surprised today by how much better GLM-5.2 was than GPT-5.5 at aesthetic/UI work. I'll keep my Claude/Codex setup via Conductor for now, but this model got me to set up OpenC…
