lines of code is a better metric than people think it is. token use is a better metric than people think it is

no bro you need to turn on “/extrausage”. dawg are you sure you have “/fast” mode on? Did you check the “no mistakes” toggle? are you sure you picked “correct mode”? did you turn up the “autonomy slider”, that’s how the pros use it,

$300/mo subscription to your coffee spot
but $200/mo for claude feels like a lot

But fuck it, I’m building it anyway

There’s a whole ocean of compute under our feet.

And I’m the only one who can get to it.

Give agents amazing tools and they will do amazing things

Do what is necessary, nothing more, nothing less. Detach from the cleverness, attach to the correctness.

[Jared @jaredLunde]

Bottlenecked by time and tokens. Next: power

@recapitul8r have you considered two?

[Jared @jaredLunde]

How much compute do you have at home?

[Jared @jaredLunde]

@udaysy Oh for sure, probably less than that

legit hard to believe they called CRUD plumbing "knowledge work" at one point

Of course that's your contention. You're a first-time SaaS bear. You just got finished listening to some podcast, Dario on Dwarkesh, probably. Now you think it’s the end of white collar work and seat-based pricing is screwed. You're gonna be convinced of that til tomorrow when you get to “Something Big is Happening”. Then you’ll install ClawdBot on a Mac Mini, vibe code a dashboard on top of a postgres database and say we’re all just a couple ralph loops away from building a Salesforce competitor. That’s gonna last until next week when you discover context graphs, and then you're gonna be talking about how the systems of record will be disintermediated by an agentic layer and reposting OAI marketing graphics.

“Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because ultimately the application layer is just ….”

The application layer is just business logic on top a CRUD database. You got that from Satya’s appearance on the BG2 pod, December 2024, right? Yeah, I saw that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or...is that your thing? You get into the replies of anyone posting a SaaS ticker. You watch some podcast and then pawn it off as your own idea just to impress some VCs and embarrass some anon who’s long SaaS? See the sad thing about a guy like you is in a couple years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One: don't do that. And two: you dropped thirty grand on Mac Minis and LLM API calls to come to the same conclusion you could’ve got for free by following a handful of VC accounts.

people will literally make your code sit in a build/deploy pipeline for 20m w hard deps on shit like git versioning + docker and say they’re “building the cloud for ai agents” with a straight face lol
