@Zeelin10 @nico_hedged Ja.

If you handed your team $3.4 billion for the year and they blew the lot in four months, how pissed would you be?

That's Uber's 2026 right now.

Microsoft just killed Claude Code internally for the same reason in reverse.

If the biggest software buyers on the planet can't figure out what AI should cost them, what's a 20-person business meant to do?

@traskjd An RPG gamer in the making. Well done! 😂

Not sure if you’ve checked us out from Wellington Joseph. We launched Autohive as a platform on top of all the major model providers.

Been growing well. We launched end of June last year. Seen 340% revenue growth so far this calendar year.

Much of our initial adoption has been in NZ (including one political party now running on it too). Goal is to keep driving export revenue. Help match the 93% export based revenue we generate from our other business, Raygun.

Thought you might value knowing it’s a local broad base AI company here in New Zealand: https://t.co/fnIh2hwoIX

@traskjd Same. I currently have 2 (well actually 3, if a personal gmail with the usual Google apps counts as a workspace account) and it's the same issue in all of them.

Listening to a podcast about the energy market in Germany.

Boy oh boy, and I thought the energy market in NZ is screwed. Germany is another level bad.

I have to admit, he's not necessarily wrong in a lot of cases.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow fired the company’s entire HR team because they were “creating problems that didn’t exist.”

Today is the second time in my life an effing almost bullet proof tablet case has led to not having my tablet destroyed by an airplane seat. Function over style, ey.

[Kai Koenig @agentK]

To be fair, it's a general large organization problem, but more pronounced in public sector.

[Kai Koenig @agentK]

The problem with public service cuts is usually that the most capable people get cut loose and the well-networked clique of absolutely useless paper pushers survive.

[Kai Koenig @agentK]

I'm reading this and I really think people have a wrong expectation of lifestyle and how much money they need and should have.

Totally distorted view of the world in the US and particularly SF Bay area tech bubble.

[Kai Koenig @agentK]

Same. It's an instant sign of content slop.

AI created content is fine, but spend a some time to make it read natural and human. If you don't, I'm not interested in your content.

[Nate Berkopec @nateberkopec]

I'm so sick of reading em dashes and "it's not x, it's y."

I'm so sick of it, man.

[Kai Koenig @agentK]

Big organisations have so little and poor insight into their own customers.

My health insurance advertising their policy-covered flu shot to me that I had more than an month ago and got reimbursed for pretty much right away.

How hard would it be to run a "SELECT * FROM customers WHERE flushot2026 = 0" query before sending this? Fewer emails and better UX.

@loftwah Sounds like a good thing to do in general and a potential business opportunity, too.

[Kai Koenig @agentK]

@Dorizzdt What now? Why is HTML better than MD? What? Where? Why?

[Kai Koenig @agentK]

@DanielW_Kiwi This is the secret power tool for KDE :)

We don't have any opinion in NZ? 🤣

[Rasmus Jarlov @RasmusJarlov]

New data: Most countries see the USA as the biggest threat to the world. Only Europe generally sees another country as a bigger threat.

@paul_e_jones @DanielW_Kiwi Notion templates are a huge business.
