spent 4 years in product design. now just chilling

OpenAI just launched a $4 billion consulting company.
The company that was supposed to be the tool is now competing with the people who sell the tool.
Every consulting firm that built an 'AI practice' in the last two years just became a competitor of their own supplier.

@MoveDecisions Benchmarks aren't reality, until the human in the loop trust gap is bridged, an AI's accuracy percentage is secondary to its failure mode

@Prathkum well this is an interesting debate

[kache @yacineMTB]

This AI thing is going to be as big as the internet

[𝖘𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖆 𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 // 𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖍 @sierra_tech_]

same pattern every time :

- launch on PH
- get 500 upvotes
- 3 paying customers

back to building in silence.

@Redflagsignals company culture indeed plays a huge role when you want to include AI in your work...

@Pickmodels Asymmetry in 2026 lives in the infrastructure layer if you aren't looking at India's "CoreWeave" moment, you're just looking at the rear view mirror

Startups used to flex office spaces.

Now they flex how few employees they have while still hitting crazy revenue numbers.

AI is making “small team, massive output” the new status symbol in tech.

[Mark Kretschmann @mark_k]

AI needs positive marketing right now, not fearmongering.

The market doesn't care about your vision.

It cares about its own problems. And how are you contributing to solving them.

[𝖘𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖆 𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 // 𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖍 @sierra_tech_]

@Prathkum the wrapper era is real but the interesting thing is the infrastructure layer underneath it is more complex than anything in 2020 the simplicity on top is hiding an insane amount of engineering underneath, the startups building for the wrapper economy are the ones doing the work

Reality of building in public :

you can build anything now, have a public audience as well.

that doesn’t mean anyone will want it.

@Prathkum the task got outsourced, the judgment didn't, that distinction is going to separate a lot of careers over the next few years

[𝖘𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖆 𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 // 𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖍 @sierra_tech_]

Your first 100 customers should know your name.
Scale comes after intimacy, not before.

[𝖘𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖆 𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 // 𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖍 @sierra_tech_]

@jwatte @xwanyex exactly, writing the code was never the hard part at scale, it's the architecture decisions, the edge cases, the coordination, none of that compresses 100x just because generation got faster

[𝖘𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖆 𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 // 𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖍 @sierra_tech_]

@stats_feed spending millions in compute because people are being polite to a chatbot is genuinely one of the more unexpected infrastructure problems in tech history

[𝖘𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖆 𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 // 𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖍 @sierra_tech_]

@Prathkum cursor didn't kill vs code; it just inherited the body and gave it a much higher IQ. The transition from "text editor" to agent harness happened so fast we barely noticed the switch

[𝖘𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖆 𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 // 𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖍 @sierra_tech_]

@AndrewYang the productivity gains have to go somewhere, the question is whether the political will to redistribute them shows up before the displacement does
