@favelaoverlord A woman recently told me she thought Bezos was very dumb

I had to inform her that he studied physics at Princeton, that he was a quant at DE Shaw…

I just want to build a startup with every cracked person I’ve ever met

@DeepDishEnjoyer Three opportunities to call herself smart

[Citizen Lane @laneshetron]

Nothing like confidently walking to Penn station half an hour after 5 people were stabbed

@mernit Been working on something like this in my free time. I think the existing harnesses are fine, what they’re lacking is cloud-native runtimes and first class support for async communication (ie sms, email)

@ynkashton @KaiXCreator Is this.. sarcasm?

[Citizen Lane @laneshetron]

@PFIRorg Not to mention that same foreign-born founder went on to renounce his American citizenship after striking it rich

@dinkin_flickaa @nikitabier This is my favorite new tooltip option

[Citizen Lane @laneshetron]

It would be interesting to see correctness by programming language (while controlling for training corpus).

I bet it’d perform better with less token-efficient languages

[Richard Nixon Foundation @nixonfoundation]

That day is here and there will be many more.

[Citizen Lane @laneshetron]

Never thought I’d see the day the Richard Nixon Foundation doing hype edits

That there'll always be one more day to go

@trillhause_ I could maybe see an avenue for this if you install the agent as endpoint software on all employee laptops.

It would be slow and outrageously expensive but it could work

@kittenaround_51 Just put the whiskey in the glass lil bro

@jhanikhil Distributed consensus?
Queuing?
Distributed locks?
Stream processing?

Maybe only 5-6 if you’re building a Lovable app

@William_Blake @DStrachman For founders an excessively high GPA is a negative signal.

Either you weren’t pushing yourself hard enough or you’re too conformist or both

[Citizen Lane @laneshetron]

To be clear I’m talking about a search engine *for* mcp server discovery, not an mcp search engine

[Citizen Lane @laneshetron]

Has anyone built an MCP search engine yet?

Seems like agents need a better way to do service discovery

@st_louis_stan What the fuck does “highest-signal builders” even mean
