Omacom Foundation has raised another $2 million from @xdanger and @brian_armstrong for now a combined TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS from our Founding Patrons. I'm incredibly grateful for this continued flow of support. WE WILL FIX EVERYTHING! 🙏 https://t.co/BFqktWWhVQ
Mistakes happen. As a team, the important thing is to recognize it’s never an individuals’s fault — it’s the process, the culture, or the infra.
In this case, there was a manual deploy step that should have been better automated. Our team has made a few improvements to the automation for next time, a couple more on the way.
Sage observation from @karrisaarinen (CEO of Linear)
It now makes SO MUCH sense why I see a bunch of eng teams rebuilt a SaaS vendor in-house with AI, brag about and feel good
They are doing side quests... and they don't even know it. And they are not helping their co win!!
OpenAI people:
I asked our Chief Research Officer why we keep losing VPs of Research and he said whenever one leaves he just promotes one of our best IC researchers to replace them so I said it sounds like we’re just feeding our best ICs into the VP grinder and then the HRBP gave me a very stern look.
阿里高层里,最不缺的就是有认知的人,最缺的是愿意默默付出和实践的人。
AI 时代,借助 AI 和职位,每个高管都可以高屋建瓴,都会画图纸。可有啥用呢。
AI 时代,认知不是关键。尊重常识,有行动和实现的能力,才是成事的关键。
Qwen 的变动,大抵有上面的原因。会画图纸的人,在大厂,很容易干掉默默付出的能实现的人。
我三年前离开蚂蚁集团,有半数原因,也是因为这个。
想想好久远,如同十年前了。还是出���创业好。
I wanted to share more on our context engineering work in Cursor and how we're adapting to the improved capabilities of agent models.
We've transitioned from a paradigm of static context (prompt stuffing, tons of tools in system prompt) to a new world where agents are much better at searching for information and maintaining consistency over long sessions — allowing us to take fuller advantage of dynamic context.
Slop drives me crazy and it feels like 95+% of bug reports, but man, AI code analysis is getting really good. There are users out there reporting bugs that don't know ANYTHING about our stack, but are great AI drivers and producing some high quality issue reports.
This person (linked below) was experiencing Ghostty crashes and took it upon themselves to use AI to write a python script that can decode our crash files, match them up with our dsym files, and analyze the codebase for attempting to find the root cause, and extracted that into an Agent Skill.
They then came into Discord, warned us they don't know Zig at all, don't know macOS dev at all, don't know terminals at all, and that they used AI, but that they thought critically about the issues and believed they were real and asked if we'd accept them. I took a look at one, was impressed, and said send them all.
This fixed 4 real crashing cases that I was able to manually verify and write a fix for from someone who -- on paper -- had no fucking clue what they were talking about. And yet, they drove an AI with expert skill.
I want to call out that in addition to driving AI with expert skill, they navigated the terrain with expert skill as well. They didn't just toss slop up on our repo. They came to Discord as a human, reached out as a human, and talked to other humans about what they've done. They were careful and thoughtful about the process.
People like this give me hope for what is possible. But it really, really depends on high quality people like this. Most today -- to continue the analogy -- are unfortunately driving like a teenager who has only driven toy go-karts.

This is such a good example of how the mindset of the wielder can have a huge effect on the impact of new technology. Saving time need not result in laziness and boredom. Quite the contrary, embracing it can open up new worlds of possibility, quality, and craftsmanship.
I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.
