@GergelyOrosz Agreed, it is possibly wonderful for vendors in the medium term? Puts pressure on us all to build great software (few excuses now), and after 1-2yrs on vibe-coded poorly-maintained insecure internal tools, everyone comes begging

@garrytan Is @howietl the first example of a large company CEO who built an "Opus Baby"? https://t.co/xXWDIG1kn5

@heymitch @trq212 extremely good. What a miss by Thariq

[tobymather @tobymather]

@threepointone Interesting architecture. What is the latency impact, assuming the endpoint list were constrained to fit into normal context? Eg if I ran code mode vs tradMCP side by side for 10 endpoints

(2/2) 18 months of work now done in 18 days. Hiring will focus on slope more than ever, but also on context-switching endurance, as parallel agent management becomes the principal skill of an Opus Baby employee, alongside architectural thinking and taste. https://t.co/gR1Zobcnzj

Opus Babies: a new breed of company. Born late 2025 or later. Not AI native but AGI native. Opus Babies are the first genetic change in the modern organisation. Tasks across disciplines will compress into teams of one and two. Elite pairs will replace squads of 8 (1/3)

@nem035 @rauchg He says in the blog that they use Cube. Which is a semantic layer. ie they’ve written definitions of their metrics in SQL and described them in YAML files. But yeah sure, it could be written in markdown or JSON or a word doc. But most semantic layers use YAML files

[tobymather @tobymather]

@rauchg @nem035 This is based on the presumption you have written YAML files / semantic definitions for every entity in your DWH?

Please do come and see this wonderful show, Londoners

@matthewclifford Nice to see your former Cambridge classmates weighing in in the comments, taking you down a notch for having designed your entire career path from freshers’ week onwards as a great big ruse to become an unpaid advisor.

[tobymather @tobymather]

@matthewclifford @BethJoy This needs more traction

[tobymather @tobymather]

@matthewclifford I’m certainly one of the prodigal sons, then

[tobymather @tobymather]

@NielsHoven @MentavaInc great progress Niels. In my experience watching phonics progress on the Lingumi phonics course (c.20k kids using that one), ‘blending’, as we call it in the UK, comes quite naturally to 2-4yo learners, even EFL learners as we mostly teach. Interesting it is harder for US kids?

@Barney_H_Y Just stay in Pacific Heights if you can find somewhere. Not many hotels there though. Otherwise the top edge of Union square and bottom of Nob Hill has several hotels which are just outside the sketchy zones but easy walk into anywhere

Absolutely love @tobymather's contraction of 'enshittification' to 'e14n' here:
