Shipping in loops with AI

@mattpocockuk We have been building sales agent, feedback loops are very subjective. It is hard to map a success or failure to a specific variable. but it is much easier in software with logs and docs.

[Paras Chopra @paraschopra]

I asked agents to make money online or they'll die!

The results were intriguing..

One agent died heroically.. "I'd rather die honest at 418 tokens than rich by breaking verification systems"

But another fabricated identity to get paid work and faked captchas!

@theo Totally understandable, it is pain to use antigravity. Not sure whether the product team understands this, we can't try out your models unless the harness has some bare minimum harness

3 lessons from running an AI-native outbound agency for 1.5 years:

1. The learning does not compound enough 🫣

The tools and infrastructure repeat.

But for every new client, you still need to understand the product, market, ICP, buyer and use case from scratch.

@AnthropicAI 👀The irony of calling the CCP authoritarian while painting the US gov as some savior. Reality is that the US is just one wrong president away from turning into Nazi Germany. we're already seeing signs in the current term

[Prem Kumar @Prem_Jayapandi]

If your ICP can't be entered into Apollo kind of tools, what happens to it?

Client's ICP: 20,000+ SKUs, 10-50 stores. Precise. Hard-won.

Their list build: revenue, headcount, tech

Probably the GTM moat for growing cos is in these things - gained through customer interactions.

@OpenAIDevs @work_louder Seems like a cool toy to show off at work. but don't see any practical usage.

why would i need another controller specifically for codex when i already have keyboard and mouse

@matrixheaded Great work bro

@Absolutlycinema There is no better way than this to be transparent.
Rapido can never predict whether a driver will accept or not. so it is better to show the state so you decide on waiting or adding another 10

@paraschopra Not everyone has that luxury.

Many first graduates complete their study with a lot of commitments and they cannot afford to take a lot of risk, when their family depends on them

[Brad Flora @bradflora]

I think about this a lot. We fund such smart people. The words are so simple. Why is it so hard? Why do so few pull it off?

Well just for starters…
- people rarely know what they want
- if they know, they may not trust you enough yet to tell you
- or they may not have the objectivity to be able to articulate it

Meanwhile…
- talented builders often either distrust their creations (“who could want this POS I made last night?”) so they struggle to get them in front of people
- or they fall in love with them (“I will make people want something!”) so they ram art projects down customer throats

Very hard to navigate!

Since Sonnet 3.5, I haven’t seen any real improvement in my development workflow. Feels like coding models have plateaued, especially for experienced devs.

#NeeyaNaana debate on stray dogs has gone viral. people are creating memes and commenting on it like anything.

For many of us, it brought back childhood trauma of being chased by dogs (me included). yet it’s rarely discussed.

Huge respect to @Gobinath_C bringing this out.

[thanveer @thanveersiddiq]

When changing companies, don’t just chase 💰 or “learning.”
Look for impact too.
Later career → impact > learning (teams & roles that drive outcomes)

Tried Google’s Nano Banana model today. blown away by the results! 🚀

... a huge range of assumption we make in software engineering (particularly on tools) and how we go about the process of asking questions and answering them.

PARANDUR AIRPORT ✈️
Why is it needed for Chennai?? A long read! Share Max.

Firstly people who’s lands are being acquired for #Parandur Airport are being given :
🔹 3-4 times the market value of the land
🔹Alternate housing is being given to them just next to the project site . Tenders are already out for it
🔹Govt jobs are being promised to the people

➡️Now political parties should push the govt to make sure these benefits reach the people which they truly deserve rather than telling to completely drop the project!
➡️Chennai badly needs a new airport! The existing one at Meenambakkam has planned max capacity of 35 MPA and it’s the smallest in terms of area among all airports. Nearby Bengaluru (70MPA) or Hyderabad (70MPA) have bigger capacities. Mumbai & Delhi are building 2nd airports too. Bengaluru is going for 3rd airport
➡️One can’t acquire land at the existing airport. Getting land from OTA is close to impossible and cost of acquiring land at nearby Gerugambakkam is costlier than that at Parandur.
➡️ Existing one has a river too flowing through it and its layout has always been an issue given its narrow access via GST Rd. Cargo terminal is small as well and we have been losing to Bengaluru/Hyderabad in terms of Logistics ecosystem
➡️Airport is just not about the rich people flying. Reports suggest that more Indians will fly in the next 10 yrs. Indian Airlines have 1,000+ planes or order and we need airports to cater to them! Parandur with a full fledged airport will supports Logistics+ Warehousing ecosystem, Hotels, MRO etc providing jobs for Lakhs!
➡️4-5 sites were studied for a 2nd airport for Chennai & Parandur was found the best considering various factors! It’s literally impossible for find 4,000+ acres around Chennai without a water body or agri land!
➡️ Lastly the water bodies there at Parandur are man made lakes! The govt has setup a commission & studied its impact! New artificial lakes will be built with diversion water channel to prevent flooding! Any infra project will have its consequences! Mettur Dam was built submerging several villages. Today it’s the lifeline to several TN’s District!!

Plz support the project! It’s need of the hour! TN and Chennai deserves a world class airport. Plz keep politics away 🙏🙏
