CEO OF ANTHROPIC JUST GAVE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS A 12-MONTH DEADLINE

Dario Amodei on stage at Davos saying engineers inside Anthropic already don't write code.

They prompt, edit, and supervise. That's the job now.

His estimate: 6 to 12 months until models handle most or all of what a software engineer does end-to-end.

The average US software engineer costs a company $180k fully loaded.

A Claude subscription costs $200 a month. The math writes itself.

The bottleneck he mentions isn't the model. It's the feedback loop around it.

How fast humans can review, ship, and close the cycle. That gap is the only thing keeping salaries alive.

Every junior dev pipeline built over the last decade was priced assuming humans stay in the loop for 20 years.

That assumption is being repriced in real time by the guy selling the replacement.

Notice he's not warning. He's forecasting.

From the person with the most accurate view of the training curve.

The people still debating whether AI can code are arguing with a timeline that already left the station.

DEVELOPER TURNED A DUSTY IPAD INTO A SECOND MAC MONITOR AND KILLED A $100 SUBSCRIPTION.

OpenMSitcar. Free. Open source.

Runs on any spare Apple device sitting in a drawer.

Duet Display charges for it.

Luna Display sells a dongle. Sidecar locks you to newer hardware.

Most people rent screen real estate forever and never check GitHub for the free version.

One repo. Zero dollars. One less monthly bill.

Clone the repo.
Plug the iPad.
Cancel Duet.

Full breakdown in the video below.

ANTHROPIC JUST DROPPED A FREE 9-PERSON OFFICE INSIDE CLAUDE

They released a GitHub repo called KnowledgeWork Plugins.

One terminal command installs Claude Cowork and you pick your team from the marketplace.

The roles available: sales, marketing, finance, legal, data, product management, customer support, productivity, enterprise search.

Nine departments. Install only the ones you need.

Each plugin ships with three layers.

Skills load domain knowledge automatically.

Slash commands trigger workflows.

Connectors wire the agent into the real stack, CRM for sales, data warehouse for finance, Canva and analytics for marketing.

A sales rep is one command in the terminal.
That is the entire hiring process.

The point is not that Claude got smarter.

The point is that Anthropic is quietly reframing the product from chatbot to org chart.

You are not prompting anymore, you are staffing.

Small teams running 4 or 5 of these plugins are about to do the output of a 20-person company at zero marginal payroll.

The gap between operators who install this weekend and operators who ignore it will be measured in revenue by Q1.

The middle office is being unbundled in public and most people are still writing prompts one at a time.

@misato0x @Claude that's the way every dev has to cross

@theSethian thank for your insights, will go through the article today

ONE GUY, ZERO EDITORS, A FLEET OF CLAUDE AGENTS ON HIS DESK

Japanese TV crew shows up to film a YouTuber's home studio.

They expected an editing team. But found one blonde guy in a checkered shirt and a wall of monitors running Claude agents in parallel.

The Premiere timeline is just the surface. The actual production line is the agents handling everything around the cut: scripting, captions, thumbnails, research, repurposing.

A standard Japanese YouTube channel at this production level runs 3 to 5 editors, a director, a thumbnail artist. He's running it on a subscription stack under $200.

The crew came to document a creator.

They accidentally documented the death of the mid-size production company.

This is what solo operators look like now. Not someone grinding 16 hours.

Someone delegating 16 hours of work to software that costs less than a single freelancer's day rate.

The interesting part isn't that he's using AI.

It's that the camera crew noticed before most of the industry did.

@noisyb0y1 thx for a timecode, very useful indeed

@AleiahLock this is exactly what I wanted to see today

AN 8-GPU SERVER CAN RUN THE AI WORKLOADS MOST PEOPLE STILL RENT BY THE HOUR

The guy in the video is opening enterprise box:

Dual Xeon 3rd gen, 28 cores 56 threads each.
24 RAM slots stuffed with Samsung 32GB.
960GB U.2 for the system, 4x16TB mechanical for storage.
12 PCIe 4.0 lanes.
8 GPUs on modular trays.

That single chassis replaces what most "AI startups" are renting from AWS at $12-40 per hour per GPU.

Do the math. 8 GPUs at $20/hour on-demand is $115,200 a month if you actually push the machine.

A box like this lands around $80,000 once, then runs for years on electricity.

The people renting are paying a subscription on hardware someone else already amortized.

The people buying are the ones renting it back to them.

Every "AI infrastructure" narrative eventually collapses into the same boring question: do you own the compute or do you pay someone who does.

Server rooms didn't disappear.

They just got renamed "the cloud" and marked up 400%.

Sharing life changing AI setups daily

Don't miss my next post, prepared smth mind blowing

[Hex Horizon @Noderunner_Hex]

A GUY IS RUNNING THE MOST POWERFUL CODING AI IN THE WORLD FROM A $400 E-INK TABLET ON A BEACH

He's on a Remarkable 2. No fans, no GPU, no thermal problems in direct sunlight.

The tablet SSHs into his laptop at home. Claude Code runs on Opus 4.6 through the API. The beach device is just a keyboard and a readable screen.

Every other laptop overheats in that spot. E-ink doesn't.

E-ink also stays readable when the sun hits it, which is when regular screens become useless.

The compute lives somewhere with power and cooling. The interface lives wherever the human wants to sit. The two are connected by an SSH tunnel and nothing else.

This is what "AI workstation" actually means now. Not a $4,000 MacBook. A cheap reading device pointed at a rented model.

The hardware race for developers is over.

The winning setup is the lightest, coolest, most sun-readable thing that can hold a terminal session.

SOMEONE IS BUILDING A 2026 SECOND BRAIN AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LIVING GALAXY

A 3D wireframe globe labeled "2026" with a glowing core spitting out hundreds of connected nodes, stars and clusters.

Every dot is a note. Every line is a relation.

This isn't Notion. This isn't Obsidian's flat graph. It's a knowledge engine that renders your thinking as a navigable universe.

The point isn't the visual.

The point is what sits underneath: an indexable network where retrieval stops being "search" and starts being "ask the graph".

Note-taking apps sold storage. The next layer sells recall.

When 10,000 notes become 10,000 connected entities, your second brain stops being a folder and starts behaving like a model trained on you.

The people still organizing notes in nested folders in 2026 are doing manual labor for a problem that's been automated.

Every serious operator I know is moving the same direction: write less, link more, let the system surface the pattern.

The tool above is just the prettiest version of that bet.

The graph wins. The folder dies.

My gf makes $400k / year selling books she never writes

I found out last night, and we dated for 3 years

back then she used to type them out herself on her laptop, $21 a book

now she hands ChatGPT a topic and a page count and gets 90 pages back

Claude designs the cover, she uploads it and it sells for $21

reading one of her books takes longer than making one

she's shipped 27 so far, each one an afternoon of work

then it just sells, every single day

she started 10 months ago with a single prompt

that's the whole idea behind the 35 Claude workflows I put together, set it up once and let it run while you sleep
