@Anthropic Claude can lose using the word Honest in every other sentence.

Honestly, is creepy.

Working 100 hours a week is characteristic of jobs where you “work” very little, but need to always be on call (think: investment bankers). Fields that require deep creative work or technical precision usually get 4 productive hours each day. Agents moved SWE from (2) to (1)

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The only thing worse than having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI is not having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI.

[Ryan Carson @ryancarson]

Once you internalize the auto-research concept and use /goal with it, you unlock ridiculously fast app improvement on anything that has a numeric rubric.

We’re all still too rooted in the “labor is expensive” world.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

Agentic workflow is totally different from the coding flow I remember from even a year ago. More like working a hard puzzle- giving it time to work in my head to execute a better decision.

[Mark Dalgleish @markdalgleish]

I thought running parallel agents in separate worktrees would let me get more done while waiting.

In practice I’m finding it’s more helpful for giving the work time to breathe.

I can try something, then step away, tackle something else, give my subconscious time to sit on it.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

Leave aside the snark: the point about walls of AI generated text highlights a real #workwithai problem.

[David Wells @DavidWells]

The AI ponzi scheme goes like this:

Everyone is generating all these long ass docs and then passing them off for others to read

Then the person receiving is like, wtf this is way too long, and hands that into an AI to read and summarize

Then they are generating a long ass response back

and this cycle goes like that forever. and we call this work now 😅

The token lords watch this from their towers nodding and grinning.

The 2/20 joke made me snort.

How to ragebait a VC

- Which podcast gave you that opinion?
- How would you add value if you found a way to be valuable?
- You look like you make all of the 2 but none of the 20.
- Sorry, we aren't raising from you right now.
- Which AI model did you use to vibe code your firm's website?
- What startup role would you take if they'd have you?

[Kent C. Dodds 🏹 @kentcdodds]

How long before coding agents stop saying "this will take ~2 weeks of work" for stuff I'm going to have them finish in less than 2 hours?

“When we were 25 people I was [lots of jobs] but when we were 100 my job was what it said on my job description.”

This line describes the angst of working from startup to scaleup in an amazing economy of words

[Patrick McKenzie @patio11]

Today is May 25th, 2026.

This is the first time I remember reading an LLM-produced public artifact which is obviously professionally relevant and which is sufficiently complete that I do not perceive the lack of a human author materially compromising its utility to me.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

The Graveyard Shift changes everything: instead of managing AI agents during the day, let them process your GitHub issues overnight so you start your morning with a review of completed work.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

Being a language lawyer, and an adept at syntax juggling, are no longer valuable skills. The agents will subsume those skills and perform them better than any human could. The human skill that will survive is the deep problem-solving that comes from holding a dynamic model of a system in your mind.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

@dharmesh The harness (and its use) of course are necessary for connecting the engine to the road, but where in that value chain is significant _competitive value_ to be found?

[Leo 🏴‍☠️ @leostera]

i need someone at @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI to teach the models that while prototyping, backwards compatibility is just a bad idea

[Alexander Benz @abenz_mato]

@harjtaggar Seeing this firsthand. 13 years in and the biggest advantage isn’t experience anymore — it’s how recently you’ve updated your mental model of what’s possible.

The half-life of AI knowledge is maybe 3 months right now.

[Harj Taggar @harjtaggar]

AI is embarrassing a lot of senior engineers. A junior who touched the frontier yesterday often has better instincts for what’s possible than someone experienced who last touched it six months ago.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

@halvarflake I don’t get this concern . Agentic development is making me to think bigger and more expansively. I mean, I have to push the ai to push me to do that, but when it does, I’m operating at a much higher level.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

Pre training is education for robots.

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
