@xwanyex the 100x number was always marketing hype.

but 'nobody is shipping' is also wrong. cursor, replit, lovable, perplexity, claude code all push features weekly. sometimes daily.

scroll any of their changelogs for 30 seconds before posting this

[Daya @HotBrightOrange]

yeah its a lot of context switching and its very annoying! each agent takes ~10-25 mins per task so the only way to work at maximum efficiency these days is by doing this extreme context switching.

however if claude starts coding x20 faster in the future, that'd enable developers to focus on a single thread/chat without context switching since whatever you ask for gets implemented before you have time to switch to the next agent.

@BenjaminHorva13 @kareem_carr sometimes its different projects/repos but it doesnt have to be

if you want two agents to work on the same project without conflicting with each other then you can use worktrees

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.

We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

@trikcode remember when chatgpt didnt have access to the outside internet because "it was too risky"?

[Daya @HotBrightOrange]

@BenjaminDEKR for the same reason we still have DJs even though their job can be fully automated

@benhylak its funny because the absolute first instruction i'd tell an AI doing design is to avoid purple gradients, its the biggest tell.

@al3xis5_ @WileyTheKoyote it means "not gonna make it", another gen Z term hehe

@RinoTheBouncer this is every Nintendo game ever, basically

[Daya @HotBrightOrange]

Most underrated hiring signal right now: how quickly someone thinks "can I get Claude to do this?"

The instinct to reach for AI first isn't laziness. It means they understand leverage. It means they're not attached to suffering through problems the hard way just because that's how we've always done it.

Like, do you want someone who prides themselves on grinding through everything manually? Or someone who treats their time like it's actually valuable?

The best people have this reflex:
- See problem
- Immediately think "AI can probably handle this"
- Spend their brain power on the stuff that actually matters

They're not trying to prove how smart they are by doing everything from scratch. They're trying to move fast and build things that work.

@DearS_o_n Being likable.

It's a HUGE advantage in life if everyone who met you liked you.

And its not even that hard, just smile more and be a genuinely good person

[Daya @HotBrightOrange]

@OnlyXuanwo you're like the guy in class that everyone hates because they keep reminding the teacher of the homework

[Daya @HotBrightOrange]

my guilty confession is that i actually like the cluely team and think they are very competent

[Roy @im_roy_lee]

BREAKING:

Cluely CEO officially responds to TechCrunch

[Daya @HotBrightOrange]

oh silly silly Claude, nothing takes "3-4 days of work" anymore, not with you by my side

[Daya @HotBrightOrange]

humans are designed to create.

this is why you get depressed when all you do is consume.
