This British mindset is one of the main reasons why I left the UK 3 years ago, but so much has changed since then. I’m convinced that you really just have to intentionally curate the community of blacksheep misfits with the delusional optimistic mentality of the Americans and you can move mountains.
Gotta stop blaming everything and everyone else and start taking accountability to make shit happen.
Just moved back and working on this rn, stay tuned…
For us old-hand web devs, this keynote will go down as the moment we closed the old chapter of our industry and started a new one.
IMO @dhh nails the mindset we need to take up:
what a privilege it is to straddle the era of hand writing code and the era of steering intelligence to write code for us.
there's grief in saying goodbye to the old ways of doing things, clinging on to that is futile. There are two ways to move forward:
1. Change careers
2. Get unreasonably excited about what we can make in this new world.
I'm choosing option 2.
My Rails World keynote will be streaming in a few hours on YouTube. I dare say this one might ruffle a few feathers, but it also just needs to be said. https://t.co/M9RYFpjXLO
@LacorteMichele I was in that boat in my previous startup. Often there is no way around it but throwing together some just-in-time policies that document what you're already doing and then referring to them in your answers.
Ii switched ResponseHub from credit based to seat based + unlimited usage.
I was finding that credit based pricing discouraged product usage. Users apply a $ value to each credit and then question the value of each output. Sometimes this can work but not always.
Pricing is fucking hard for AI native apps.
per seat is dead, the seats are agents now. per ticket rewards volume you should have prevented. per resolution punishes you for having a good product.
we're settling in at no seat structure, just credits. put the whole team on it for free, pay for what the agents actually do.
might redo it in 3 months. lets see
🚨 HUGE NEWS: Claude now embeds an invisible watermark into every piece of text it generates.
Anthropic just documented how it works. Two marks, both machine-readable:
> Text: an imperceptible watermark woven into the words themselves. You can’t see it, and it doesn’t change meaning, quality, or readability.
> Files (.svg, .png, .jpg): signed provenance metadata on the C2PA open standard, so you can tell if a file’s been tampered with.
The watermark is applied at the model level.
That means it shows up no matter where the text comes from: the API, Claude, Claude Code, Cowork, Claude Tag, and even when a supported model runs through AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Foundry.
Models launched on or after August 2, 2026 mark from day one. Older models are getting it during a transition period.
Every sentence Claude writes for you now carries a signature you’ll never see.
