Really excited to open source a new project: Omnigent, a meta-harness for AI agents.

It lets you build multi-agent coding and custom agents, sitting above Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and agent SDKs to let you compose them. It also adds live collaboration and rich control policies.

My OpEd for Sixth Ton after 120 days shelter-in-place in NYC. Now still waiting for flights for China, wish all has grown wisdom for a better 2nd half of 2020! https://t.co/mHumb46tkV Positive in Quarantine @SixthTone

@QuickBooks @Intuit has easily marked the worst SaaS experience we as a corporate user had this year. And a good example for companies like us not to fall into quality swamps like theirs. Making this complaint public here in order to save other entrepreneurs time from our issues

[Yao Zhang @zhangyaoy]

@QuickBooks your backend engineering must be having some serious problems. Had to log into company admin account today for pulling some data board requested. Found out our 4 year account with daily accountant activities became empty. On call for 2+ hours & fought back our data.

Every founder should aspire to live in their Zone of Genius: the things you love doing that give you energy.

Don't get trapped in your Zone of Excellence (the things you are great at but sap your energy). You will find yourself excelling at a job you hate.

[Justin Kan @justinkan]

CEOs: if you create a system that is successful, it doesn’t matter what part of that system you are doing yourself.

"The CEO's Job" is whatever makes the company successful, not some pre-specified set of responsibilities

[Sam Altman @sama]

It's gross seeing so many root against Tesla. Be the person on the side of the climate and innovation, not the person hoping to make money on puts.

Also, betting against Elon is historically a mistake...and the best product usually wins.

Sam Altman talks about his years at Y Combinator, OpenAI's ambitions to create a friendly general artificial intelligence, and its "capped profit" model (@cookie / TechCrunch)

Today’s middle schoolers may be the first “AI natives,” but educators are grappling with how to teach kids about the technology https://t.co/Vm6KC8kiaU

[Yao Zhang @zhangyaoy]

Been hearing a lot from colleagues about #MBTI, tested as #INTJ cross years, finally figured out it is ok to say publicly here that I am really not good at social media - twitter is where I follow great masterminds such as @Naval to calibrate about biz ops and wisdoms
