My twitter is all @bcherny and @trq212 shipping claude features 24/7 no complaints tho

[Thariq @trq212]

We just added /btw to Claude Code!

Use it to have side chain conversations while Claude is working.

i love an open market bc wym labs are reducing price of pr reviews aggressively

I studied 25 founders who built $5B+ companies between ages 24-29. Robinhood. Shopify. Airbnb. Twitter. DoorDash. Notion. Etsy. None of them had clean resumes. Most would've been rejected in a traditional interview. Three things show up again and again.

Trauma - an emotional relationship to a problem that can't be faked.
Neurodivergence - a brain that can't sit inside conventional structures.
Polymathic range - a weird combination of skills that shouldn't work together but does.

The kid who faked an MIT ID to get into NYU built Etsy. The German with no degree and a learning disability built Shopify. The boy from Xinjiang who learned English from SpongeBob built Notion.

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

@internetvin Wtf this is sick

[Thariq @trq212]

I want to make /init more useful- what do you think it should do to help setup Claude Code in a repo?

[esravil @esravil]

@trq212 Based on repo it can give suggestions on plugins/skills to use?

It’s not about junior vs senior, it’s about “good with AI” vs “not good with AI.”

This is the first AI cut.
And it will send shockwaves.

Remember: Jack is one of the greatest founders of all time. He created this platform that we’re all on, and has been early to many technological shifts. And Block was doing very well as a business.

So, for him to cut 40% of headcount in this way is a signal to everyone in tech: get good now. Become indispensable. Work nights and weekends. Learn the AI tools and raise your game. Or you might not make the cut, as an employee or as a company.

I know. That sucks. But capitalism is natural selection. The market is unforgiving, because you are the market. After all, it’s not like you’re buying some random gallon of milk from the store; you’re always buying the best product at the best price.

So too for apps: your customers are always installing the best piece of code they can get. And because AI is going to create new winners, if you aren’t the best in your market, someone may become better with AI. Particularly with the new agentic workflows.

To be clear: Block’s severance is generous by any measure. 20 weeks of pay, six months of health insurance and vested equity, all of that goes far beyond any typical package. Jack did his level best to cushion the disruption. The laid off are a temporarily unfortunate class, as opposed to a permanent underclass.

But had he not leaned into the AI transition, he might have had to lay off more people, slowly, and over time, as faster competitors went after his market share.

How would they do that? Sure, AI isn’t a panacea by any means, but the closer you are to software engineering the more aggressively you need to embrace agentic workflows. The AI companies are already doing that, and places like Stripe, Shopify, Coinbase, and now Block are pushing hard on this area.

There will be overcorrection. But the fundamental technical innovation is real. And you need to either disrupt yourself or get disrupted.

New in Claude Code: Remote Control.

Kick off a task in your terminal and pick it up from your phone while you take a walk or join a meeting.

Claude keeps running on your machine, and you can control the session from the Claude app or https://t.co/er6Blrr63e

@byjustinwu really nice website loved playing around on it

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Software engineering makes up ~50% of agentic tool calls on our API, but we see emerging use in other industries.

As the frontier of risk and autonomy expands, post-deployment monitoring becomes essential. We encourage other model developers to extend this research.
