Exploring how AI is reshaping product ecosystems, communities & developer relations | Founder @ Communitygeeks 🇩🇪

Apparently someone made a WoW clone in a day for roughly $2,000 in Claude tokens.

When making the thing gets cheap, everything that accumulated around it becomes more important. The community that cares.

Introducing dots, powered by GPT-6 Astra.

Remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything.

@marvsoftware I'm working on what happens after AI makes pushing out products cheap. What remains valuable, what differentiates? My answer is the human networks around a product.

At first I was just looking for a place to train Muay Thai. To become part of it, I had to keep coming back.

I've written about the gym, a Friday farm stand in Germany and, of all places, World of Warcraft.

A chat with @ThatChristinaG got me thinking.

BREAKING: the UK government publishes official rules on how to use AI:

1. Ask first if you really need to use AI

2. Check if a spreadsheet can do the job before using AI

3. Choose the worst model possible so it uses less energy

4. Keep prompts short to reduce the environmental impact

5. In general, use AI only when necessary, as a climate-saving measure

With a mindset like this, we should accept the UK back into the European Union

I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.

A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.

The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.

And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.

It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.

A core sign of low intelligence is not being able to hold two contradictory ideas in your mind at once.

Most people treat an idea as a team to join.

Once they join that team, the opposing view becomes a threat. You stop thinking and start reacting.

@thedankoe The problem with most people is that they're not delusional enough to pull off amazing feats. Not every maniac has achieved great things but all great things were achieved by maniacs.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

The primary reason people don't achieve big goals is because they don't realize that the only source of truth is making mistakes. They soak up advice and theory, expecting it to be an exact match to their mind, experience, and situation just to fail once and give up completely.

@Kanshario heute 3 battles gejoined und direkt hundo und shiny 😅

[Codez @0xCodez]

Claude Code creator:

"Opus 5 can run for days, weeks, even months. It just doesn’t stop. You don’t even need scaffolding.

Claude now maintaining itself. 30 routines running every day. Hundreds of agents sometimes thousands."

In this 30-minute talk, Boris Cherny at Y Combinator reveals the latest setup used by the Claude team

Worth more than a $500 AI course on the internet.

Watch it today, then read the article on graph engineering with Claude below.

Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.

@MichaelSteranka Hey! I had an amazing time at GO Fest Japan, I've never seen a community quite like it. It really got me thinking about how Pokémon GO blends product, live events and community into one ecosystem. I'd love to exchange ideas at Gamescom if you have a few minutes.

Middle Managers continue to be a target for layoffs across the board.

Doesn't matter what industry, tech, finance, pharma, even in the staffing and recruiting industry where I work.

Companies are prioritizing senior individual contributors, people who are hands on and produce, over layers of management.

You can debate all you want how AI may or may not take jobs. This trend isn't reversing anytime soon.

[The Random Recruiter @randomrecruiter]

This is how life starts to feel when you stop taking work so seriously
