Google CEO, Sundar Pichai:
"If you don't learn to how to orchestrate agents now, you'll spend 2027 catching up to people who started today"
In 30 minutes he explains why the best engineers stopped writing code and started running agents.

E172: @Saylor: Why Hard Work Won't Make You Rich
Michael Saylor is the chairman of @Strategy - the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with over 840,000 BTC and $65+ billion deployed. He bought his first Bitcoin in 2020 when the Fed cut rates to zero hasn't stopped since.
With WSH, I always want to go much deeper than the current narrative and that’s exactly what we did here. We gradually moved past the surface and into the things that really shaped Michael. We talked about his childhood, growing up in a military family, buying domain names in the 1990s and flipping them for tens of millions, losing $6 billion of his net worth in a single day during the dot-com bubble, his great Apple bet in 2012, why working hard won't make you rich, why you should mortgage your house but probably not sell your kidney to buy BTC, why "THERE IS NO SECOND BEST", and a lot more. The conversation lasted more than two hours, much longer than originally planned, and it was just amazing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

how to use Google's NEW open source Design.md + AI Skills to make your startup look like a $100 million company in 1 hour:
1. Design.md is an open source file from Google that captures the soul of a design. Typography, colors, spacing, all in one markdown file. You attach it to your prompt and your agent builds beautiful things every time.
2. Think of it this way. The HTML is the finished dish. The design.md is the recipe. The skills are the ingredients. Put them together and everything you build looks consistent and professional.
3. Don't create a design system from scratch. Find a brand you love. Linear, Stripe, Vercel, whatever resonates. Study it. Use ChatGPT or Claude to help you extract the design language into your own design.md file.
4. Build skills on top of your design.md. A landing page skill. A mobile app skill. A motion design skill. A slide deck skill. Each one references the same design.md so everything looks like it came from the same designer.
5. The biggest mistake people make: they nail one screen and then everything else looks generic. Design.md solves this. One file keeps every page, every format, every medium consistent.
6. Use it across everything. Your landing page. Your app. Your pitch deck. Your promo videos. Same DNA. Same taste. Same system. That's what separates a startup that looks real from one that looks vibe-coded.
7. Build a second brain for design inspiration. When you see something beautiful in the real world or online, capture it. Save it. When you're building something new, reference it. Taste is developed, not downloaded.
8. It's obvious but the difference between a product people trust and a product people bounce from is how it looks and feels. Design.md gives you that edge.

FIM DE JOGO PARA OS DESIGNERS🤯
A Anthropic acaba de lançar o Claude Design. Você descreve o que quer, ele lê seu codebase e arquivos de design, constrói o sistema visual da sua marca automaticamente e entrega protótipo interativo, slide ou landing page.
Design funcional, com lógica, interatividade, 3D e voz.
A Datadog foi de semanas de processo para uma conversa. O Brilliant recriava páginas complexas em 20+ prompts em outras ferramentas.
No Claude Design, foram 2.
Eu uso Claude todo dia no meu trabalho de análise. O que me impressiona nesse lançamento é o detalhe do handoff: quando o design está pronto, ele empacota tudo e passa direto para o Claude Code implementar.
Ou seja, você joga a ideia, faz os refinos e aquilo vira produto, sem sair da conversa.👇
Dois engenheiros da Anthropic acabaram de mudar a forma como devs pensam sobre IA.
Barry Zhang e Mahesh Murag subiram no palco do AI Engineer Code Summit e disseram uma frase que incomodou muita gente:
"Parem de construir agentes. Construam Skills."
Em 16 minutos eles provam que a indústria inteira está resolvendo o problema errado.
Aqui está o que a maioria não entendeu:
→ Skills são pastas. Literalmente pastas com arquivos markdown.
→ Elas ensinam ao Claude o SEU fluxo de trabalho, a SUA expertise, o SEU domínio.
→ Um único agente genérico + biblioteca de Skills específicas supera dezenas de agentes especializados.
→ Fortune 100s já estão deployando Skills em escala pra ensinar agentes sobre processos internos.
→ Times de produtividade com 10.000+ devs usam Skills pra padronizar como código é escrito.
A analogia que eles usaram é perfeita:
Quem você quer fazendo seu imposto de renda? O gênio com QI 300 que nunca viu legislação tributária, ou o contador experiente que faz isso há 20 anos?
Inteligência sem expertise é entretenimento.
Expertise empacotada é produtividade.
O que mudou: a Anthropic parou de tentar criar agentes diferentes pra cada domínio.
Perceberam que com Claude Code, o padrão é sempre o mesmo. Um modelo acoplado a um runtime com filesystem.
A diferença entre um agente medíocre e um extraordinário não é o modelo. É o conhecimento de domínio que você alimenta.
Skills resolvem isso com progressive disclosure. O agente só carrega o nome e descrição da skill. Quando relevante, puxa o SKILL.md. Quando precisa de mais, navega os arquivos de referência. Zero desperdício de contexto.
Isso não é uma feature. É uma mudança de paradigma.
Quem entender isso agora vai operar em outro nível daqui a 90 dias.
Quem ignorar vai continuar escrevendo prompts de mil palavras toda vez que abrir o chat. E ainda explicar de novo e de novo o que “realmente” quer.
Claude Code can now design stunning interfaces 🤯
There’s a free GitHub skill called UI UX Pro Max that upgrades Claude Code into a full UI and UX expert.
Install it once and Claude suddenly builds cleaner layouts, better apps, and interfaces that actually look professional.
Your AI can now code and design like a pro. 🚀
