    Slop is probably more accurate than boring. LLM assisted development enables output and speed. In the right hands, it can really bring improvements to code quality or execution. In…

    Here's a founder/product perspective. This maps well to the skateboard => scooter => bicycle => motorcycle => rocket ship product metaphor that's often used. Each phase teaches dif…

    Honestly, you might want to step outside tech altogether. Join a local civic or neighborhood organization or volunteer with a nonprofit. There was a nice thread last year about lib…

    Go read The Founder's Dilemma by Wasserman. It's great and covers almost any problem a founder will run into. To really summarize, it's all about trade offs and prioritization. Pat…

    I was curious about doing an experiment like this, but then I saw Wired had already done it. I suppose many folks had the same idea! https://www.wired.com/story/i-infiltrated-moltb…

    I think this also shows up outside an AI safety or ethics framing and in product development and operations. Ultimately "judgement," however you wish to quantify that fuzzy concept…

    For anyone that's curious, we switched to Active Campaign. So much better for us and way cheaper.

    You don't need spec kit or humanlayer per se, though they are good reference points for starting out, but you do need your own CLAUDE/AGENTS, README, ARCHITECTURE, SDRs, policies, …

    Agreed on using both. I definitely know people who prefer Codex or Cursor. It's probably Coke or Pepsi at this point. I tend to prefer Claude Code, but that's just me.

    It seems the big feature is working agents in parallel? I've been working agents in parallel in Claude Code for almost 9 months now. Just create a command in .claude/commands that …

    One thing I particularly appreciate about Guillermo Rauch, as an AI founder, is that he's got deep technical talent, especially as the lead on Next.JS. As I've been diving deep on …

    Ask HN: Why Does Claude Chat Dunk on Claude Code?

    So I've been working with some of the AI tools lately and overall quite impressed, though I definitely see limitations and issues. I'm using Claude Chat to help me with my prompts.…
