Writing Flight Notes on AI, trading micro-structure & founder-style capital. Building in public. Opinions mine.

[Tanwa A. | Flight Notes @flightcomms]

Just launched FLIGHT NOTES 🚀
Weekly dispatches on running tiny, AI-augmented teams that punch like institutions.
We're building "Imperium-style swarms" – micro-teams of specialists and AI agents that converge on missions, then disband.
No clickbait. No recaps. No ads. Pure signal.

All these takes on @enhanced_games are wrong. Athletes on roid shouldn’t train the same way as nat athletes. Their mistakes were that they trained like they were competing in the Olympics.

@StijnSmits Umm. Try “/goal”

@pichapen @KornGoThailand Why 3-day timeline? Didn’t you announce the event on May 4?

12-4=8?

What am I missing here?

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

@pichapen How quickly to fix google forms though? Been an hour and still broken.

This takes a few clicks max.

If this speed is a reflection of your party’s tech policy, I’m gonna need to see more execution quality.

Finally, OpenAI allows you to change your email address.

This is what toxic masculinity looks like.

[Tanwa A. | Flight Notes @flightcomms]

@rsarver @alexbard Post about a slide deck and not a single image of what it looks like. That’s just pure evil energy. Now I’m gonna have to hit clone and every thing.

Maybe I whipped my Opus slave too hard.

We use OpenClaws to do all of our work at @every.

We have 25 full-time employees, so we’re one of the few companies in the world that has seen how work changes when everyone has their own personal agent in the company Slack.

I chatted with @every COO Brandon (@bran_don_gell) and @every head of platform Willie (@bigwilliestyle) to share what we’ve learned.

We get into:
- Why agents become mirrors of their owners, and how that influences how other people on the team interact with them
- How a parallel AI org chart forms on its own. People have stopped tagging me on Slack with questions about Proof, the document editor I vibe coded, because they knew my agent R2-C2 can step in
- The etiquette for human-agent collaboration is being invented in real time. Brandon's rule is that if there's an established process or documented answer, always ask the agent, not their human
- Why everyone is a manager now, and why even experienced managers carry limiting beliefs about what their agents can do
- This is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand how AI workers change daily operations, not just in theory, but inside a company that’s half-agent

Watch below!

Just realized my biggest commit day was Feb 14 in Q1.

At this point, I'm just surprised my wife hasn't left me.

Opencode UI/UX is so much nicer than Claude Code

An actual human would have stopped 5 seconds earlier instead of plowing full speed ahead into thick smoke.

"Hey, Claude, should I be worried about being too dependent on Cloudflare?"

"If Cloudflare is down, half the internet is down anyway."

Touché. Charging ahead at full recklessness speed then.
