there's no such thing as a rogue agent man its software someone made and deployed they are responsible for what it does

cannot let this blame shifting occur

@trq212 @threepointone My issue is my projects end up drowning in artifacts. Both with codex and Claude

I can’t stress enough how little an idea matters compared to the agency of the people executing the idea.

I have had the privilege of knowing and sometimes even working with some of the most successful people (by various metrics).

The difference between mediocre and excellent work and outcomes is predominantly one of agency.

In practice this means: they dont wait for things to happen to them they go out and make things happen for them.

They don’t wait for someone else to do something, for someone to teach them, for someone to give them the path, etc. They just go out and find a way to do it.

I think the single biggest superpower these people have is the realization/belief that the world around them is completely mutable. Most everything that happens is because a person made it happen.

I used to tell people to look around the room you’re sitting in. Look at everything. Every noun. It almost all exists because a person willed it into existence. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same.

I see people online all the time dismissing someone else’s success because “I had that idea first” or whatever. I mean… yeah? If so then the difference is… you. So a bit of a self own whenever I hear that.

Number one tip: act with agency.

@PaulBonnet As always - great review!

It will be interesting to see what becomes of Miro in the next few years - I feel like it has some enterprise stickiness but might not be able to stand on its own.

Its crazy to think 4 years ago the hot twitter/x topic was Miro vs Mural

[Andrew @ajh_paynav]

I think I disagree (maybe I don't know how big the TAM or value is in a unique company doing this vs the big providers)

But I'm looking at it from the perspective of everything not related to software development i.e Operations, customer success

Other work streams don't have the native context sharing ability of things like git, and the outputs of agent work (code) is more easily digestible than other more subjective or 'human-in-the-loop" involved items.

But honestly - I'm not sure, I work at at large 20K+ enterprise and not directly as a dev, so thats the perspective i'm coming from.

@martin_casado @kangster153 I wonder how accurate it is.. sc2 recently had a major patch that changed some fundamentals of the game like how many workers you start with

To understand how little you should animate, open the app you use every day and count how many things are animated. Almost none.

@noisemakerjon @xeophon @thdxr If I give Astra your message and tell it to review and find out why and it fixes it have we solved recursive self improvement? /s

thanks for the tip!

[Andrew @ajh_paynav]

@thdxr @xeophon I wonder if its a product of the new compaction mode? I turned it on and yeah I can confirm I am also drowning in markdown files

[Andrew @ajh_paynav]

@dillon_mulroy @ivanrvpereira Would be interested in specific of this setup

[Andrew @ajh_paynav]

@paulbonnet Great breakdown and very informative for those outside the VC space

[Andrew @ajh_paynav]

This is the future I want

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

Yup. Though there’ll be increasing cross-over between those too.

[Cristina Cordova @cjc]

In 2014, they called Stripe’s $1.75B valuation "lofty to insane" compared to PayPal + Braintree.

Today:
- PayPal's market cap: $39B
- Stripe's valuation: $106B

@Jared_Seidel_ I’ve had it for over a year and zero issues and good coffee. We used to do pour over but then we had our first kid and that become impractical

Just make sure to follow instructions for cleaning timing and procedures

[Andrew @ajh_paynav]

A useful benchmark for how broken your companies communication and information systems are is how many times you send or receive emails that say "FYI".

[Andrew @ajh_paynav]

@thdxr We just need ONE more agent orchestration platform bro - this one will be THE ONE.
