Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, just explained why most people aren't getting real results from Claude
this is one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time
in this talk he breaks down exactly how most people never actually set up Claude:
- the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word
- the memory system that eliminates repeating yourself every conversation
- the custom instructions most users leave completely blank
- the project settings that give Claude permanent context about your work
if you've been using Claude for more than a month and never left the chat window, you have at least 30 untouched features. probably 38

@nestersk@lesliemathys I think this is the sane path. Services first, productize later. Way better than building SaaS in a vacuum and hoping the pain point is real.
84% of businesses in the US have zero employees...
Just the owner.
I was SHOCKED it was that high.
Over 30 million of them, and they're growing faster than the ones that actually hire people.
The catch has always been that they stay small. Like 87% never even hit six figures, because one person can only do so much in a day.
That's changing now though.
The work that used to need a few hires you can now hand to AI and actually keep up.
The one person business was always the most common way to build. It just never had this much firepower behind it.
In NYC you can afford Uber if you can afford a helicopter, essentially.
Meanwhile, in Lisbon from center to airport is almost always below 20$, 10% or less than NYC pricing.
Lisbon airport won't give you probably the best experience, but at least you won't pay 200$ to get there.
"If you move abroad for tax reasons, I don't know how you can look at yourself in the mirror."
Hugo Rifkind singles out at wealthy tax exiles, saying they should be “ashamed” of leaving the UK to pay less tax.

finally, my solo era has officially begun! 🚀
ViralDeck is now live, and i couldn’t be more excited and happy.
Even better: it already has paying customers and is generating revenue.
an essay on why "it's not X it's Y" language is so beloved by LLMs, written by @ErykSalvaggio
tldr: this construct makes an impression of thinking, so early AI detectors and human verifiers favored it, naturally LLMs adopted it and now it's everywhere

You dont need people on your team anymore.
You need the output of that team - and AI agents can do that.
One $20 Claude subscription can act like:
> researcher
> writer
> editor
> assistant
> strategist
Most people still use AI like a simple chatbot.
But the real advantage is building systems of agents around you.

@priyankarocks@ActusDei@thefynprint Yep. Everyone wants the AI wrapper. For me the real story is power and chip supply. That's where it gets real fast.
I keep seeing polished screenshots treated like proof the thing works. Most of the time the boring stuff wins: clean inputs, tight workflows, fewer things to break.
