In solitary, @andrenorman and seven other men played a game called killer ball. The goal was to hurt each other.
Why? Physical pain was easier than facing the pain of their lives.
What are you using to avoid yourself?

Buying AI isn't the hard part. Knowing how to run it is.
Thryv (561 U.S. SMB owners, April 2026): 66% adopted AI. 70% still need more training to use it well.
Pick one tool. Train one person as the checker.
Who's getting trained on yours?
Moving fast with AI isn't the problem. Shipping money moves with nobody watching is.
If an agent can pay a creator twice, it can refund the wrong customer next.
Put one human stop before anything that moves cash or hits a customer.
Who can kill yours mid-run?
In the "How software engineering is changing: a tale of two eras" essay by software engineer Neil Kakkar, he talks about how at his current startup they move very fast with AI, and fix mistakes quick, like accidentally paying creators twice.
A reader suggested this would be a fireable offense at most places (shipping a bug, with AI.) I strongly disagree:

Everyone is using Grok @Bot
Shadow AI isn't theoretical.
DNSFilter (400 mid-market IT/security managers, June 2026): 46.1% had staff connect unapproved AI to Workspace, Microsoft 365, or SSO. 20.1% say it caused an incident.
Name the approved tools. Log every new connection.
What would show up tonight?
AI rewriting your stack isn't the win. Knowing what changed is.
Make every pass say what it touched, where to try it, and how to undo it.
Blind ship is how slow bugs become customer bugs.
Who signs off before yours goes live?
We will all be learning in coming weeks & months, that most human-made software:
▫️ Was really slow
▫️ Had many security vulnerabilities
▫️ Was under-specified and incorrect
AI will rewrite it all. Many times. It will make it fast, cost-efficient, and secure. It will think about failure modes we couldn't wrap our heads around.
It will prove, formally verify, load test, harden. It will turn memory-unsafe foundations into robust, optimized ones. If you ask, it'll thoroughly document it, teach you about it, make diagrams, animations, and slide decks.
In many ways, we are witnessing the true birth of software engineering.

At last there will be one network with good signal everywhere!
Starlink Mobile is building the first fully-integrated US nationwide satellite and terrestrial network that will keep people connected on their phones no matter where they are. Our 5G base stations will leverage @Qualcomm chips to accelerate deployment, starting in 2027 🛰️📱
AI can build almost anything. That's not what's stuck.
What's stuck is picking which broken process in your shop is worth fixing first.
Write down three hour-a-week drains. Automate one. Ship it this week.
Which one's been sitting there longest?
That unwritten backlog is gold now.
Coding agents make the tiny asks that never got a ticket finally cheap enough to do.
Pick three that eat an hour a week. Ship those before the next big rebuild.
What's been sitting in someone's head?
Your rent roll and your valuation model shouldn't live in two places.
In MGC the income approach sits next to the stacking plan and comps. NOI, cap rate, sensitivity. One login.
Built with @muljat inside a working brokerage.
Where do you still bounce between sheets?
Avoiding the hard talk with your team is still a conversation. You're just having it alone.
Tell them what AI will touch and what it won't. One short note beats a week of guessing.
Silence doesn't protect anyone. It just makes the fear louder.
What are you putting off?
Auto-audit isn't optional once agents ship for you.
If nobody's checking the output, you're just hoping.
Give one person the stop button on anything that hits customers or money.
That's how we set it up at ChiefAIO.
Who can stop yours?
I've been looking forward to this day, because Vercel has an internal security agent that is **astonishingly effective** (lovingly called @𝚑𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚛). Every single line of code gets audited, automatically.
You can now get the same power. Just enable it on all your repos (this product works whether you host on Vercel or not) and your peace of mind will increase tremendously. You'll see it catch things that every other agent misses.
Why: you cannot just bank on your engineers having a skill installed, prompting "please make secure", or rolling the weights' dice that the code is good out of the gate.
The other cool thing about this is that this was entirely developed by our security team. A lot of companies out there are probably in a mad rush right now trying to staff up. If you wanted to 'download a security team' as software, this is the closest you get today.
Your AI budget didn't miss. Your agents did.
Menlo Ventures' 2026 State of Enterprise AI: average spend hit 4.7x last year against a 1.9x plan.
Agents keep working after you leave. Cap them by finished work, not by seats.
What's your real monthly AI burn?
running a company nowadays feels kinda dystopian
my team is 50+ people in 12 countries, but i talk to my agents more than my human teammates
- voice note to grokbot
- mattpocock/skills /grill-me so the agent interrogates the idea before anything gets built
- spec drops into linear through the linear mcp
- exa + firecrawl agent reads every competitor site, pricing page and changelog
- ideabrowser.com to find ideas and trends
- apify pulls g2, reddit and app store reviews
- prompt: "find the 10 complaints that show up most and quote the users"
- context7 so the agent reads the latest docs before it touches any api
the design
- claude code + paper mcp
- 4 versions of every screen before a single line of code
- pick pieces from 2, it merges them. diverge then converge
- frontend-design skill from anthropic/skills + our own design system skill
- cleanshot screenshots of any ui i like go straight in with "make it feel like this"
the build
- pingdotgg/t3code as the control surface for every agent, from my phone too
- stablyai/orca runs a fleet of agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree
- graphify maps the whole codebase into a knowledge graph so agents navigate instead of guess
- headroom compresses tool outputs before they hit the model, so tokens go 20-95% further
- lsp plugins so the agent sees types and errors like an ide does
- security guidance hook flags risky edits before they land
- supabase mcp for the database, stripe for billing
- github mcp opens the pr, vercel spins up a preview
- loops run overnight, i check what shipped over coffee
the user testing
- lightpanda as the headless browser, way lighter than chromium so you can run hundreds at once
- agents click every flow on the preview like a first-time user
- one persona is impatient, one is confused, one is on a phone
- playwright + chrome devtools mcp for regression tests
the bugs
- sentry mcp catches the error
- agent reads the stack trace and opens a fix pr in under 10 minutes
- human just approves
the data
- posthog mcp cron at 7am on yesterday's funnel
- any step that drops more than 10%, the agent watches 20 session replays and tells me why
- stripe mcp pulls every cancellation reason into one doc every monday
the agents' tools
- orgo so every agent gets its own computer
- agentmail so every agent gets its own inbox
- agentphone so i can call them from the car
- composio connect-apps for every other connector
- akitaonrails/ai-memory, a git-backed markdown wiki so they remember what we decided last week
the skills
- wshobson/agents so skills work across claude code, codex and opencode
- my writing voice
- our design system
- how we write specs
- skill creator so the agents write new skills themselves
some helpful tricks
- one agent per platform. the x agent never touches email
- cheap model for triage, opus for anything that ships
- every output gets scored 1-10 by an llm judge. under 8 goes back
- every agent writes a 5-line log at night so i can read the whole company in 2 minutes
- every agent mistake becomes a new skill, so it only happens once
the team
- humans get version 5, not my voice note which they are happy about lol
- their job is creative feedback, relationships and telling the agents what they got wrong
a human pm reviews the funnel once a week. this reviews it every morning
running a company is now voice notes and inference

Grok @Bot can research which doctors are the best in your area, call them by phone and make an appointment!
Grok Bot just made a doctor's appointment for me while I was driving...
My daughter hurt her foot landing a jump at dance practice.
I told Grok Bot what happened, how she was feeling, and what I saw: not much swelling, iced, and her pain seemed manageable.
It gave me a few nearby options, including a pediatric orthopedist with X-rays on site, and offered to call when they opened.
Grok Bot called and got her in at 9:30 the same day.
The whole call was transcribed live, and when the receptionist asked for more info, it asked me in real time.
It also got the insurance, payment options and pricing, had the intake forms sent to my email, and put it on my calendar.
The receptionist knew the call was recorded, and I could review the recording afterward.
All while I was driving.
Grok Bot is going to completely change people's lives.
