Making knowledge work verifiable @ZetaneSystems. Graph enjoyer

@theojaffee The answer, which most software developers find incomprehensible, is that the majority of people do not like building their own software, and that is a skill you still need to do anything with AI beyond asking which players you should draft for your fantasy football team

@analyticsaurabh @turtletv69 @villi ugh you are right and this explains a great deal about the success of all the vibe code platforms. it's just tiktok for nerds

@Plinz valuable lesson watching my friend in private equity spend his day calling twenty people in south carolina trying to get a guy named jim to finally sign off on a permit. the world is full of chokepoints who love their role

Very cool! Was just thinking how the existing problem with code review is knowing information flow + how changes modify it, and a tool could dramatically increase speed of understanding. and you guys did it!

@shcallaway Learned this lesson between Gemini 2.5 pro and Gemini 3 pro where they changed almost every part of the communication protocol to handle multi tool calling which gemini 2.5 just couldn't do. At that point it was easier to build/adopt a new harness than update!

@nikillinit Balance this real world experience, o product person, with the widely circulating take that your product should be an MCP usable by someone's "favorite agent"

[Jon Magoon @jsmagoon]

@nicochristie Also why product people should ignore the majority of what they read on X. 90% power users with tools for power users

guys it isnt about that we've "saturated intelligence." its the freaking data retention policy!

[Jon Magoon @jsmagoon]

@zck Clubhouse later to talk about it?

[Jon Magoon @jsmagoon]

@Sherman_FFB Psh, analytics nerd. We play in a league that only allows guys who pass the eye test. The more eyes, the more points. We also give points to guys who just have *it*. We require 10 hours of film study a week

@BOATcommishFF @SleeperHQ Wow can't wait to get my fantasy football league into a small menu on the gambling spam app that doesn't work on a computer

@wil_da_beast630 Are you telling me that letting kids be illiterate and saying it’s societies fault wasn’t a working strategy?

@ChuongIsHere Jocks win again nerds

Even in your example do the labs think the discovery part is the only thing that matters? Seems like they are going to be competing on the wetware in the exact same playing field as everyone else except it’s one part of a giant business instead of the sole goal of the organization

I’ll believe in AGI when ChatGPT 10 Black Hole gets my baby to stop crying after five minutes in the crib

@beyang Someone has to foot the bill for all that capex

[Jon Magoon @jsmagoon]

@seyitaylor @shreyas It’s also the spatial configuration of the idea? Like there are a lot of ways to use a motor and a drive belt but only a few configurations yield a car, boat, or plane and it takes a long time to figure that out even when you know you have to have the motor.
