In the Stormlight Archives, there is a character (a king) who magically wakes up each day with a random intelligence level.

His caretakers test him in the morning to determine whether he’s capable of leading his country that day or is basically just given crayons.

"ah, that was written during the Great Regression, we don't talk about it"

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

Over the past month, some of you reported Claude Code's quality had slipped. We investigated, and published a post-mortem on the three issues we found.

All are fixed in v2.1.116+ and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.

here's the link: https://t.co/opkX4cIaCF

- we will be investing up to $1M and funding 70+ companies over the next few weeks

- But there's also $5M in credits/tokens/etc from AWS/GCP/Open AI/Azure/NVIDIA/Deel/Stripe/etc. You'll also work with our amazing operating team (GTM, talent, brand, people, and more), and join our community of elite founders

- we offer a Global Founders Program for international founders, to help with visas, banking support, relo recommendations

- yes you can be solo (but better if you're further along, and have built a team). No you don't have to have an idea yet. Yes you have to know how to build (even if you're not technical)

- Also, in other news: speedun is officially moving full-time to SF. (prev it alternated SF/LA) this is for all the obv reasons

- we've continued to have an insane lineup of speakers, including the founders of Carta / DoorDash / Twilio / Figma / Zynga / Airtable / Twitch / and of course, lunch/dinners with Marc/Ben alongside a16z team - and much more

- the deadline for applying is May 17!

@martin_casado the feeling of delivering surprising delight is just unbeatable

[Rick Ling @blitzrick]

sometimes taking the effort to solve real differentiated need even if it’s harder and less measurable pays off.

we never chased raw time spent. always been about how do we bring people together into the same room.

compared to Snap, it’s remarkable how much more durable Discord has remained as a business in the face of extraordinary macro shifts
