@bcherny Is this how your team at Anthropic is organized?

@dorvonlevi @paulg Write about how you got to the thesis and not just the thesis

[Aswath @aswathkrishnan]

@sachinrekhi @BadCapitalVC when software can be highly personal, cheap to build, and competition is intense, don’t try to scale. Build for niche segment + high PMF + high ARPU + small team.

@rabois @krishnanrohit @pitdesi lol only off by a trillion

@jeff_weinstein @thomasbsauer Make it as easy to shut down a company 😅.

And taxes - didn’t realize it’s going to cost be $500 to file taxes for a business making $0.

product idea - Oura ring app that always tells you that you had great sleep. no ring needed!

[Brandon Luu, MD @BrandonLuuMD]

Literally just having a delusional golden retriever mindset measurably changes outcomes and physiology.

Sleep badly? Convince yourself you're well rested.
Stressful day? Convince yourself it's fuel.
Failed? Convince yourself it's useful data.

@fahdananta Might be 200 I think

[Aswath @aswathkrishnan]

Digital workflows are essentially reading and updating bits. Bits need state. Updating needs rules. Give AI agents access to both, and the job is done. This is the new workflow software.

Every model is agi if you are an idiot.

@clairevo Love Claude's new visual formats!

[Aswath @aswathkrishnan]

@stevesi Also we allow both email/pass and social auth…were you forced into only Google auth?

[Aswath @aswathkrishnan]

@stevesi Hi Steven, I lead consumer experiences at Mindbody (and ex Microsoft!). Would love to understand and resolve this. Can you share which platform/app you were using?

[Aswath @aswathkrishnan]

“And if all else fails, I suppose you can always ask the all-powerful Claude to help you with meaning. Perhaps it will generate an immersive world for you — with no AI, limited resources, chores, and jobs.

Maybe that is where we already are.”

@jacobandreou Unless there’s a different bottleneck that can’t be solved with code?

Software is melting. What's coming next and how do you build?

My thoughts:
I. Solid Software
II. Intelligence as the Solvent
III. The Architecture of Fluid software
IV. The Danger of the Gas Phase
V. The New Role of the Builder

@stevesi @tomfgoodwin Sigh but true
