PM at @MetaQuestVR learning to code with AI. Building apps, games, and my second brain in public at Prev @RiotGames, @Xbox

[Ron Forbes @ronforbes]

I rebuilt my entire website using Claude Code from the ground up as a PM learning to vibe code with AI.
The new https://t.co/nskGC5hCBx is live. Built in public. Wrote about the whole process: https://t.co/7M0W2pI7gN

I've been too embarrassed to admit that I've been doing this for the past few weeks, but Claude can synthesize a TON of insights from your entire iMessage history if you let it. Blog post coming soon 🤓

[austin lau @helloitsaustin]

I got married this past weekend so I did what any rational @AnthropicAI employee would do and had Claude Code analyze 12 years of iMessages with my wife, then Claude Design used that data to whip up a website for our guests in just minutes.

The headlines this month are brutal. The tools to plant your flag have never been more accessible.

The kids I taught coding to in Jamaica this past week aren't waiting for permission.

Neither should you.

Last week I rebuilt my entire website in an afternoon.

The tools that made it possible didn't exist four months ago.

A short thread on what changed and what it means if you're watching the layoff headlines and feeling small. 🧵

[Ron Forbes @ronforbes]

The point isn't that one tool got good.

It's that the loop closed. Chat → Design → Cowork → Code. The handoffs that used to cost me half a day each now cost one click.

The friction between "I have an idea" and "it exists on the internet" is collapsing.

[Ron Forbes @ronforbes]

I broke all of this down in a new post:

1⃣ What the leak really revealed
2⃣ What's working in my own system (and what isn't)
3⃣ A 3-level framework to start this weekend
4⃣ Why friction beats demos every time

Anthropic accidentally leaked Claude Code's entire source this week.

512,000 lines. 44 hidden feature flags.

Buried inside was a roadmap for where personal AI is actually heading. And you don't have to wait for any of it to ship.

🧵

[Ron Forbes @ronforbes]

The thing almost everyone gets backwards:

They build the agent before the knowledge layer.

Your agent is only as good as the context it has access to. Without a persistent second brain, every session starts from zero.

Build the substrate first.

My entire dream last night took place in Claude Code. Terminal. Dark theme. White cursor. Please send help.

[Ron Forbes @ronforbes]

Thanks to @joulee @kimballscott @emollick for inspiring this post. Check out their work!

[Ron Forbes @ronforbes]

Everyone's racing to keep up with AI.

New model every two weeks. New tool every month. New framework before you've finished learning the last one.

The thing that's actually improving my AI output?

Management books from 2019.

Here's the framework 👇

[Ron Forbes @ronforbes]

The progression:

• AI made you an engineer (vibe coding)
• Then a product manager (taste + judgment)
• Now a people manager (context + feedback + orchestration)

Unlike the latest model drop, management principles don't get deprecated every two weeks.
