If 4% of public GitHub commits are already AI-generated and doubling monthly, the change isn’t theoretical. It’s already here! I’ve felt it. And I’m living it too! In the last 8 months I moved Schoolze Labs and Hellodesk to an AI-native dev stack. What used to take 3–4 months of grind now takes 3 hours. Not because I got smarter. Maybe in a way i did to make the move. But mainly because the constraint changed. Before: Spec → tickets → back and forth → refactor → delay. Now: Describe → generate → test → ship → refine. When that becomes normal, software stops being limited by implementation speed. The bottleneck moves to: • Clarity of thinking • Product taste • Distribution • Incentive design If AI commits go from 4% to even 30–50% in a few months, we’ll see: • Smaller teams shipping more than large teams • PMs and founders building directly • Features commoditized • Execution no longer a moat Code becomes cheap. Judgment becomes expensive. Most companies are still optimizing for engineering bandwidth. The real leverage now is decision bandwidth. If the curve continues for even one more quarter, the structure of software companies changes. Not slowly. All at once.

This hits the nail on the head so accurately I had to break 10 months of silence to say it: This isn't an exaggeration. It’s an understatement. I’ve been in the trenches for the last year implementing AI at every level of my products and systems. The gap between what this tech can do and what people are actually using it for is a massive window of opportunity—or a disaster—depending on how you choose to close that gap. If you’re still just "chatting" with AI, you’re already behind. You need to start driving the agents. Here is the stack I’m using right now. Use it. And yes—pay for the damn upgrades. Your future livelihood depends on it. 1. Cursor (Composer + Agent Mode): I don’t "write code" anymore; I architect intent in .md files. I’m building full-feature, handshake-level architecture. I set the direction, go to lunch, and the work is done when I’m back. This is how you learn the logic of the new world. Get used to YOLO (auto-run) mode. 2. Claude Code: A partner that lives in your terminal. It doesn’t just suggest edits; it explores your files, plans the work, and executes while you walk away. 3. Claude Cowork: Anthropic’s new bridge for managers. It’s for leaders who need agentic power but want a visual space to plan complex workflows. (If this is too expensive, try #4). 4. OpenClaw: The 24/7 "proactive" assistant. It’s open-source and doesn’t wait for you to ask—it monitors your tasks and acts on its own "heartbeat." 5. n8n (Agentic Workflows): The ultimate glue. Build "Agentic Hierarchies" where one AI manages others to handle business processes autonomously. Start here if Cursor feels too scary. 6. Claude Analysis Tool: Stop wrestling with spreadsheets. Drop raw data here and watch it build interactive tools to find the story in seconds. 7. Perplexity Pro: The end of manual searching. Use it to research a market and generate a live, cited report that updates itself. The Actionable: Spend one hour today getting an agent to complete a multi-step task without you. If it fails, fix your instructions, not the result. That is the only skill that matters in 2026. Thank me or Matt later. More on what I’ve been up to all these months soon. Stay in the trenches—things are changing faster than you think.

Hey X’ites — how have you been? We’ve been quietly building something new here at Founders Club, Hellodesk — an AI-native founders operators community that doesn’t just talk AI… but build with it. Last week, we kicked off the first session of our new AI Series on what it takes to be an AI-native founder operator. This week, we’re back with Session 2 — we're diving into AI Agents: → what they are → how they work → and how to plug them into your startup right away. I’ll walk through real use-cases from @schoolze (now becoming schoolze labs) and @HellodeskHQ — showing how AI agents are helping us stay lean, ship faster, and reduce time to market. 🧠 Whether you're technical or not, this will give you something actionable. 🪩 Whether you're local in #Monterey, or remote, you’re invited. 📍 Wednesday, April 30 – 4:30pm PT RSVP:eventbrite.com/e/13449033551… 📬 DM me if you’d like to present your AI stack in a future session. Join us and build in public — Let’s go.

True professional freedom is choosing what you do and who you do it with!

The sheer scale of devastation from the Palisades fire is heart-wrenching. It’s not just a 'forest' fire anymore... it’s people’s homes and the neighborhood we visit so often. Thinking of everyone affected... Stay safe, LA.

Small steps. Clear goals. Permissionless, relentless action. Here’s to growth, momentum, and new heights in 2025. Let’s make it happen! 🚀

that amazing feeling when a side project evolves into a full-fledged company. what started as a space for a few of us is now becoming a platform for founders to connect & grow. next week we launch Hellodesk2.0, bringing a founders' community to life. excited for whats nxt! 🚀

RIP, legend! 🙏

5 things needed for success - You have to… 1 - be the right person for the job. 2 - have the right tools available to you. 3 - be in the right place. 4 - put in the right amount of hard work.
