Vendor sold us "magical agentic workflows." Latency was killing us so we cut them.

Migrating the work back in-house, we saw their human logins had been pinging right up to the termination date.

The API? Untouched since week one.

Turns out the agents were just people.

On a roll now. This one was charging us $2,700 a month

@ImNotJK I wanted to make the system of how I work (do it, schedule it, or delegate it) to move seamlessly between my email and the surfaces I work in. Increasingly the "delegate it" bucket is picked up by agents.

I had some time between things today and built the version of Superhuman I always wanted. Subscription cancelled.

I'll feel the AGI when I don't spent half the day searching for K1s and pdf passwords for my tax guy

@braveben It’s the saddest thing to me about tech success: There’s limited desire to serve *in that way* in the next chapter

I am deeply appreciative that @friedberg spends his time doing this - he doesn’t have to - but I sure wish I could vote for him!

Life is amazing:

-gyms exist
-Christopher Nolan movies exist
-hot girls outnumber even moderately put-together dudes 2000 to 1
-you and your wife can get drunk at a dimly-lit steakhouse then go home and watch Titanic and smash all night without a condom
-you and your friends can hit the gym then smoke a joint at a Coldplay concert
-every food item in the world has been hunted and gathered for you (grocery stores)
-you could be working 16 hour days in a coal mine in a third world country
-you’re spinning on a sphere in an infinite universe and the fact you’re alive is a 1 in 500 trillion miracle

If anyone ever complains in front of you tell them they’re an idiot :)

@antoniogm no one wants to do consumer these days

[Justin McCarty @JustinDMcCarty]

@dwr no YC age kids want to do consumer any more

This post nails the most important point: the speed between "I know what we should build" and "here it is" is currently unfathomable unless you have seen it in action

Despite the macroeconomic community struggling to forecast 2-month-forward payroll growth with any reliable accuracy, the forward path of labor destruction can apparently be inferred with significant certainty from a hypothetical scenario posted on Substack

What a line 😆

One of the most vicious ratios in the history of this app
