@ctjlewis Bet drake had a song bout this .. oh yeah say what’s real

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@jlongster @TotalEnergies should be your n1 customer for this

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@james406 Rookie numbers tho

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@GergelyOrosz Anthropic is really bad at comms so I'd guess it's 4. trying to keep up with OpenAI

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

This matches where I landed too

Last year I worked on the full autonomous loop - from session replay analysis to automatically generating PRDs and handing them off to coding agents. I came away thinking the bottleneck wasn’t the coding. It was the decisions around what to build, whether it was good enough, and when it was safe to ship.

That’s what made me stop chasing remove the human from the loopand instead focus on making the small teams (2 eng..) 10x more effective

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

Daily standups tend to drag the fewer people are present, yet they've become such a standard practice in our industry that few teams dare to question them.

If the goal is better coordination in increasingly async teams, shouldn't continuous visibility and transparency reduce the need for a daily status meeting?

Maybe the better solution are AI Agents that continuously take care of the visiblity/transparency issue?

Is anyone working on this ?

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@SamuelBeek That’s why I’m building a solution for this, so people can make sense out of what agents produce

I think my copy of Founding Sales expired 9 months ago. Can I still use it?

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@eptwts how to win friends and influence people, but I'm more curious about you and what books actually impacted your life?

@etnshow @JNeedem co-signed but im nobody on x, only on linkedin :(

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@etnshow Guys, if this is a european show then please use CEST

Is „load bearing“ the new em dash or what’s going on with Fable @AnthropicAI?

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

That’s why I’m bullish on the hybrid human + AI future

It’s easy to replace devs with AI agents when the entire business doesn’t rely on the quality of the software product to produce revenue. Once it becomes important you need humans to manage the complexity and context (sic!) in the broader business sense

[the tiny corp @__tinygrad__]

The limiting factor of software engineering has never been code production. It is complexity management.

@etnshow where can I buy some merch?

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

A lot of mid-market non-tech companies hire engineers to build their own internal software, and I think this is where the move from X devs to 2 devs + agents will happen, not in organizations that ship for millions of users or whose revenue depends on the quality of their software

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@housecor Yes, but humans still need to keep the context of the implementation so they can make further decision

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@kimmonismus Remember when it was all over X in January and nobody believed it?

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@theisaacmed Or the feeling of never really arriving at your destination

[Mickey Graf @mickeygraf_]

@steverockan @superset_sh uses a nice setup: @coderabbitai + @StageReviewApp + cubic ai
