So much fun looking back on how we built VS Code!

Waiting for anthropic cooking SAP …
man anthropic is absolutely cooking microsoft.
claude now works natively in word, powerpoint and excel. thats 450M users but how the fuck did anthropic beat microsoft co-pilot? it gets worse
- microsoft blew $13B creating co-pilot and owns 27% of openai yet no sign on chatgpt.
- claude has access to SHARED context across excel, word and powerpoint. they know the footprint of microsoft's users - very valuable AI data.
- only 15M microsoft users pay for copilot, so its clear they need to go model-agnostic
- this is the 3rd major microsoft product to leverage claude (cowork and deep research are the other 2)
very impressive execution from anthropic tbh, they are trying to be everywhere and anywhere - its working

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

Freelance developers will be the next wave of top earners.
Programming is becoming cheap. Companies are laying off devs due to AI. The era of the bloated 10-person engineering team is ending.
Here is the math of 2026.
The Old Way: Client hires an agency. Result: $50k budget. 3 months timeline. 5 people in meetings. Output: A basic MVP.
The Future Way: Client hires YOU (The AI-Augmented Freelancer). Result: $10k budget. 2 weeks timeline. 0 meetings. Output: A polished product.
The client saves money. You make $20k/month working solo.
The Brutal Truth: Companies are realizing they don't need headcount. They need execution. If you can architect, prompt, and deploy singlehandedly, you are an agency.
Don't look for a job. Look for a problem to solve. Become an army of one.

We'd love for you to try the API or check out the Document AI playground! Both available on Mistral AI Studio.

While writing this article, I could not find truly unique technology in the #palantir stack. Am I missing something? What do you think?

Why is @SAPConcur so bad? Do they do any usability studies? Why are per diem meals labeled as "travel allowance"? An LLM competitor should put them out of business ASAP

We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign.
The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.

A Harvard student told me something I can't stop thinking about. When they go to the library, every single screen has ChatGPT open. Homework that used to take hours now takes minutes.
But then they talk to alums who say entry-level roles are basically gone. The jobs they planned their entire college trajectory around don't exist anymore.
AI made homework easier but made proving you deserve a job exponentially harder.
