Noen som har erfaring med behandling av merbau-parkett?
Er det mulig å slipe og/eller lakke det for å få en lysere brun tone?
Blir litt skeptisk etter å ha lest at det er en risiko for at resultatet kan ende opp i rosa..
@DebetSjef@Solgtno Jeg får bare kommet meg inn her på Nordnet-boksen, ikke lagt til ny boks.. Regner med dette må inn i eget felt tagget mot https://t.co/XYXYFqnPcP?
i can't believe nobody caught this.
Anthropic's entire growth marketing team was just ONE PERSON
(for 10 months, confirmed)
a single non-technical person ran paid search, paid social, app stores, email marketing, and SEO for the $380B company behind claude
here's exactly how one human is doing the job of a full marketing team:
it starts with a CSV.
1. he exports all his existing ads from his ad platforms along with their performance metrics (click-through rates, conversions, spend, etc)
2. feeds the whole file into claude code
3. and tells it to find what's underperforming.
claude analyzes the data, flags the weak ads, and generates new copy variations on the spot
this is where he gets clever:
he then splits the work into 2 specialized sub-agents:
1. one that only writes headlines (capped at 30 characters)
2. and one that only writes descriptions (capped at 90 characters).
each agent is tuned to its specific constraint so the quality is way higher than cramming both into a single prompt
so now he's got hundreds of fresh headlines and descriptions.
but that's just the text.
he still needs the actual visual ad creative, the images and banners that go on facebook, google, etc.
so he built a figma plugin that:
1. takes all those new headlines and descriptions
2. finds the ad templates in his figma files
3. and automatically swaps the copy into each one.
up to 100 ready-to-publish ad variations generated at half a second per batch.
what used to take hours of duplicating frames and copy-pasting text by hand
so now the ads are live.
the next question is which ones are actually working.
for that he built an MCP server (basically a custom integration that lets claude talk directly to external tools) connected to the meta ads API.
so he can ask claude things like:
• "which ads had the best conversion rate this week"
• or "where am i wasting spend"
and get real answers from live campaign data without ever opening the meta ads dashboard
and the part that ties it all together and closes the loop:
he set up a memory system that logs every hypothesis and experiment result across ad iterations.
so when he goes back to step one and generates the next batch of variations...
claude automatically pulls in what worked and what didn't from all previous rounds.
the system literally gets smarter every cycle.
that kind of systematic experimentation across hundreds of ads would normally need a dedicated analytics person just to track
the numbers from the doc:
ad creation went from 2 hours to 15 minutes. 10x more creative output.
and he's now testing more variations across more channels than most full marketing teams
a $380 billion company.
and their entire growth marketing operation (not GTM) = just one person and claude code lol
truly unbelievable
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.
####
today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.
first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.
we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.
i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.
a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.
we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.
to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.
to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.
