@ChrisYost_ @claudeai @swissyai Haha I was just pitching a friend last night about why I love to use an IDE to house multiple visible terminals for CC CLI over the desktop app and this drops

@thepatwalls @HubSpot This is the real starter story. What an inspiring ride. Appreciate all you’ve done and shared with us, Pat!

@themorapour @AnthropicAI Exciting times 😁

Happy Opus 4.6 Day @AnthropicAI

I haven’t been this excited about a model update since GPT-4.

From day one, Opus 4.5 was a game changer. Its efficacy was indisputable, building complex features from minimal prompting with ease. It set the bar for coding agents.

Cant wait to tear through features, architectures, and projects faster and more elegantly than ever.

Lets go!

@bcherny Christmas in February. Opus 4.5 set a new bar. So genuinely stoked about 4.6. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it thus far, Boris!

[Coburn @heycoburn]

@claudeai Congrats team. Absolutely stoked about this. Here’s to another game-changer 🥂

3 days in and my Linear-inspired voice assistant is on TestFlight.

I’m so stoked to start using it for my hands-free planning and mental clarity flows.

This project has been done entirely in Claude Code via Cursor. Would recommend!

Oh, except for the voice memos -> chatGPT design docs that laid the guidelines to kick it off. But now my new project will soon replace that.

Excited to start sharing this one out soon.

[Coburn @heycoburn]

New year, new project.

First time setting up an expo app in a mono repo.

Went from subscribing to Claude Code to Max tier in the same sitting.

Completely reorganized my office to feel more alive.

Excited to share this new productivity app with yall soon!

[Coburn @heycoburn]

I spent $400 of my own buckaroos on Cursor this month.

*checks stocking for credits*

It miiight be time to switch to Claude Code 😅

Did anyone beat me on personal spend?

[Coburn @heycoburn]

@StevenIrby Found ya there! Keep goin man!

Another week, another shift in product direction.

It sounds crazy, and I feel silly, but I’m super intrigued by this feedback theme from users.

They love Supalific for how it helps them process emotional experiences.

Like, what a beautiful part to play.

To me, this is a much more authentic and exciting direction. One that I could genuinely be excited to pitch and market.

Next steps:
1. Rework pitch and story
2. Talk to friends in mental health roles and their networks to explore opportunity
3. Adapt accordingly

@NanouuSymeon This is the 9-5 I'm proud of ☺️

[Coburn @heycoburn]

@denisyurchak @levelsio Congrats on a heck of a year, Denis! Loved reading your story. Can't wait to see what comes next for ya!

[Coburn @heycoburn]

I’ve made some grave mistakes lately.

Sure, snoozing on X was one of them, but maybe not the worst.

I fell prey to Shiny Object Syndrome (once again - classic enneagram 7).
I let my first project atrophy - right at the gates of monetization.

It was rejected from Apple with a simple change needed for resubmission.

But I let myself get too excited about the next opportunity.

It would’ve taken just an hour to get it back on track. But that turned into days, and then weeks of delay.

And I know, for me, there’s another cost. It weighs on me to have a loose end like that. It drags me down.

So don’t be like me.
Be better.
Tend to your garden.
All parts of it.
Build responsibly ✨
Happy holidays and have a beautiful week!

@thedennisobaro1 Everything feels just right. Stoked to find ya, mate!

@thdxr An absolute goldmine of a thread - thanks for kickin' this off! Lots of new friends in here :)

@maorshlomo Really makes me wonder if the opportunity for startups dramatically shifts toward Consumer if businesses are just able to build their own tech for any problem statement in house.
