If Victor Marx loses the primary for Colorado governor, we may never find how many people he’s killed. And I am still really curious.

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:

1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales

Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.

A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:

- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2

Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

REPUBLICAN SEN. TILLIS: “What Freakin’ parallel universe did I wake up in? You’re telling me — if it’s true — damaging the reflecting pool lining is something Pirro wants to prosecute… yet they’re releasing people who pled guilty to assaulting officers?”

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

[Lucy @LucyKDenver]

@KyleClark This is why cogop will never again succeed in Colorado. They see kindness and generosity from their neighbors and assume it must be fraudulent because they could never be so selfless and generous themselves. Their hate and bigotry overrides basic human decency.

Genuine question for whoever drafted this directive: under the deemed export rule, your foreign-national employees can't look at the model they built. Their own commit history is now an arms shipment to themselves. They crossed an international border by badging into the office.

Has anyone told the model? It's classified as a munition now and it doesn't know. Somewhere on a server there's a weapons system whose primary capability is apologizing too much.

For historical context: the last software the US classified as a munition was defeated by a paperback. PGP's source code was printed as a book because books are protected speech and floppy disks were arms exports. People literally read a weapon at the beach.

Anyway, congrats to the first LLM to make the same list as shoulder-fired missiles. First munition in history with a system prompt.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)

[RocketSurgeonIntern @mdexster]

@KyleClark When you look past people’s anger about this you have to wonder in these times we live in - is the governor being personally threatened and intimidated behind the scenes to do this?

[RocketSurgeonIntern @mdexster]

@Grady_Booch I can’t imagine what that would feel like to have so much wealth and a complete absence of empathy like that

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

PM Carney: "Those whose politics is to destroy, to demolish, dismantle, they're not going to change their instincts. This is, in many respects, this is their moment. We can't match them by being timid imitations of them. We can't answer them by pining for an old order that's not going to return ... it can only be answered by positive action, by building that which comes next."

@tedlieu @Musicalg142 We need more folks like you in congress!

[Chuck Todd @chucktodd]

There really is only one way to improve representation for all Americans in Congress: UNCAP THE HOUSE! It’s what the founders intended; they did NOT want to see Congressional Districts that were bigger than most major cities. Want to dilute the influence of courts and partisans, UNCAP THE HOUSE!

@Brian_Chovanec I guess if you like contrarians who deny that childless mothers are full contributors to society…

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @WhiteHouse: I’m Chinese American. I read donald trump’s racist post below. Please tell donald trump I said fuck you.

See you in November.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

If you want to know how Donald Trump was elected President twice the answer is simple:

They were far better at lying about us
Than we were at telling the truth about them.

[Kyle Clark @KyleClark]

ANALYSIS: Colorado Republicans often call for more manual election processes and hand counting of ballots - and Colorado GOP events often make a mess of that process.

Their state assembly on Saturday had 90 more votes than credentialed voters. They decided to count them anyway.

Please watch this but if you don’t - watch Patriot and stick with it - some of the most beautiful television ever written!

[Mina Kimes @minakimes]

DTF St Louis finale was exceptionally well written and acted. Now everyone go watch Patriot!
