I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this.....
But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software.
I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal
He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it.
He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code.
Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time.
His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages.
His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything.
My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five."
Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder.
I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.

70% of the carrot sales in America are baby carrots
The majority of these baby carrots sold in America go through chlorine before being sold
Lab testing shows that chlorine is still present when being sold to eat
โToxic chlorine byproducts like trihalomethanes are absorbed directly into the flesh โ This is according to peer-reviewed research from Spain's University of Murcia.โ
The levels are considered safe by the FDA.

I guess DeNiro didn't do his homework on communism and is now at the FO part๐คฃ
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This meme originates from a satire page and is not based on real events. De Niro did not make the quoted statement to MSNBC or request a meeting refused by Mamdani.

Now they are straight up telling you they are just going to ban all 3D printers.
It brings me no joy to say that I told you this was coming.
They arenโt actually concerned about โghost guns.โ Thatโs the excuse while they make the play to destroy micro-manufacturing.
๐ก Philadelphiaโs attorney just said the quiet part out loud.
During PA Supreme Court arguments, Philadelphia attorney Jennifer MacNaughton admitted that banning 3-D printers themselves would be acceptable under the cityโs legal theory.
Think about that.
Philadelphia doesnโt just want to ban 3-D printed firearms โ their argument suggests the government could ban the machines used to make them.

Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking?
The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).
