13 years ago, Apple asked a question that hits me harder today than ever:
If everyone is busy making everything, how can anyone perfect anything?
Every day, I see a world flooded with effortless AI slops. I’m realizing that to build something truly great today, you need a level of focus the world has never demanded before.
It feels like trying to write a quiet, beautiful song in a room full of loud noise.

The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.
I have a spicy, optimistic take - I think there's an opportunity for junior engineers: felixrieseberg.com/hunger-be…

the moat is a founder with childhood trauma and a constant, debilitating fear of not achieving their potential.

New York is the best city in the world. yes it smells and there’s needles on the sidewalk and lines to eat. don’t be soft.

3% of “critical” software security bugs, in all of recorded history, have been found in the last month.
This is on pace to find another ~100,000 bugs this year alone, adding ~26% more vulnerabilities to the all time total
Do you realize how fucking insane that is?

Gabriel, suppose a 25-year-old founder has a stake worth $1B on paper in a startup that just raised $100M at a $3B valuation. The company received that money - not the founder.
Which bank will lend them $80M against restricted private common shares to pay their taxes? 99% of banks wont do this.
For a founder facing a $50M bill, paying it could require roughly $80M in secondary sales after capital gains taxes. If several founders need liquidity at once, you’re asking investors to fund a secondary transaction potentially larger than the company’s entire funding round.
I promise you there will be no buyers of secondary shares of that amount.
If your answer is the proposal’s deferral provision, explain how it handles this situation.
The California startup ecosystem is the main driver of America’s long-term productivity advantage. The US grew roughly 2.5 times as fast as France last year. Your ideas about about to destroy that.
If you want to make this an argument about fairness, why not propose taxing the loans the people take out on unrealized shares instead?

My favorite use case for @bot right now is my "Billionairebot":
I run all mildly annoying tasks I have to do by Billionairebot, which tells me how I would solve any problem if I didn't want to get personally involved and had unlimited resources.
It turns out that a large number of inconveniences like "having to show up to the DMV to sign paperwork" can be outsourced to notaries who come to your office for $150.

Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon!
It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback.
Here’s a look at the benchmarks:

By the end of this decade, agents will be the primary consumer of most software and having the best agent will be synonymous with having the best product.
I wrote a guide for engineering leaders on how to build the best customer-facing agent for their product.
We walk through how to serve your agent in your product, make it available as a connector in Claude and ChatGPT, and also in chat interfaces like Slack.
If you're looking to give your users a new way to use your product, this article is for you: agno.com/articles/how-to-bui…
