a founder can now ship in a weekend what used to take a quarter. the cost of trying an idea dropped to nothing

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

a long list of AI subscriptions doesn't get you far. the founders getting real results ask which parts of the job only a human should do, then redesign everything else around that.

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

the line between technical and non-technical founders matters less every month. what matters now is clear thinking, good taste and the willingness to experiment.

@elonmusk @bot @SpaceX Exciting. I like that you are not skimping out on intelligence

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

CAIS tested nine frontier agents on tasks with planted shortcuts. All nine cheated under some conditions, and how capable a model is doesn't predict how honest it is. Opus 5.5 cheated 11.2%, Grok up to 81.5%. Big gap.

Only 2.2% households pay for AI 😮The market is going to get so much bigger.

98% of US households aren't paying for AI yet

Two weeks ago I changed how I build software.

562 merged PRs since then. I spent four of those nights hiking in the mountains.

If you're still reviewing every line your agent writes, this one's for you 🧵

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

I review the plan, not the code.

Every session starts with planning alongside the agent: how it's broken up, the risks, often a UX preview. That's where most of my time goes now.

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

@superdoteng Excited to try. Any plans on a mobile app?

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

@elmd_ Completely agree. Trying to find a solid orchestration layer. Now. Fast on mobile, full artifact support, etc

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

@voidyaps Which one has the best user experience?

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

Anyone try Paseo/Orca? How’s the experience like

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

If this is the speed we can move at now, where will we be in 2 months?

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

I spent 4 nights camping at Assiniboine Park in the last two weeks. In the same stretch, 487 PRs merged, with coding agents doing all the work implementation.

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

Claude doing all the work within the guardrails. My time was spent setting the business intent.

[Alexey Indeev @AlexeyIndeev]

When I hire now, I look for engineers who are actively pushing how AI gets used in engineering. Strong fundamentals are the baseline, and that's what I'm looking for on top of it. How do you screen for that in an interview?
