If we zoom out far enough, and start to put more and more under the execution umbrella of AI, what we're actually describing here is... product development. You are constructing the set of context, policies, directed attention toward s

Hear, hear. Folks on places like HN should also realize that the broader US is not as liberal as the news and internet would make you think. The people who comment and debate online tend to be on the more extreme ends of both sides. The res

Visit SE Asia sometime and you'll experience a very different sentiment. Hundreds of millions of people rely on Meta to provide valuable services every day, some of them borderline essential. This is undebatable. The outsized public ha

There is a potential world where Meta uses AI as a vector to tap into the home. Like, literally building smart homes. Locally intelligent in ways that enable truly magical smart home experiences while preserving privacy and building trust.

Thinking on this more, I've realized there's an additional problem with Koomen's vision that might be even more significant than what I initially described. It's actually potentially harmful that current AI email assista

While Koomen makes valid points about the limitations of current AI implementations like Gmail's assistant, I think even his analysis misses a more fundamental insight: we're in a transitionary period that will eventually lead to

Whatever Claude Code is doing in the client/prompting is making much better use of 3.7 than any other client I'm using that also uses 3.7. This is especially true for when you bump up against context limits; it can successfully re

These are great. I had my own list of takeaways [0] after doing this for a couple years, though I wouldn't go so far as calling mine factors. Like you, biggest one I didn't include but would now is to own the lowest level planni

Strictly worse than Claude Code presently, but I hope since it's open source that changes quickly.

I've had a really terrible experience with codex so far. It tries to code by issuing patches. The problem is the patches are always wrong, so they never apply. It just spins and spins and spins and spins... AND you have to press '

I built MCP Commander to solve a small but growing problem I have: having to repeatedly configure new (and potentially untrustworthy) MCP servers across various tools and projects. MCP Commander can manage your configuration files across an

Automattic is a $7b+ company. That's the twenty-year body of work you should use to evaluate his execution and strategy.

Matt's only real problem is not owning his ambition openly. Trying to publicly argue the moral high ground was a stupid, unforced error. It didn't need to be moralized at all. Just make the changes you want to make, piss off a voc

If people you respect are swayed, ask yourself (or better: them) what they see that you don't. I doubt it's a matter of intelligence, so much as perspective. If no one you respect has been swayed, you should know: the other side i

A US-based dev costs 125/hr, on the low end. A US-based dev directing Claude Code has like 3x output. So the biz is spending 125 + AI costs, but saving 250/hr. An individual dev might feel like a superhuman compared to those not u

This is so good. I've been using it with Claude Code with great success. I just leave an instruction in CLAUDE.md to validate changes with Playwright. It automatically starts a dev server (wrote a little MCP server to do that), navigat

Absent examples of concrete impact (damage), it's arbitrary fear mongering. You can write about anything to make it sound bad, even when it's good, and vice versa. Need to focus on outcomes.

The EU once again races toward premature regulation. Europe's tech sector will continue to wither as America and others surge ahead. You can't regulate your way to technological leadership.
