just hit 100 followers
small number, but every single one came from talking about claude code at 6am before the baby wakes up
next stop 1k. what got you your first 100?
switched my whole workflow to opus 5.5 this week. the code didn't get better. the time estimates did. it stopped telling me 3 days for a 40 min job
everyone's building the 400th ai wrapper
meanwhile the guy cleaning water tanks in dubai has a 3 week waitlist and zero competitors online
boring businesses with agents behind them is the most slept on play right now
what boring business would you automate first?
openai keeps resetting codex limits like it's a black friday sale
meanwhile i'm switching claude accounts every morning because opus ate the quota overnight
usage limits are the real benchmark now. best model is the one still answering at 3am
what do you do when you hit the wall?
this week i saw 4 new apps just to watch your claude code sessions. from the notch, from your phone, from a browser tab
cool, but the agent isn't the slow part. one session log i saw had 56% of the time spent waiting on the human
we don't need better agent dashboards. we need to stop being the bottleneck
what's the longest your agent sat waiting on you today?
one researcher plus a pile of agents pretrained a competitive coding model in 3.5 months for under $10m
the moat used to be headcount. now it's knowing what to run next
how small can a lab get before it stops being a lab?
codex limit resets feel like a gift until you realize you're planning your workday around them
i don't want surprise resets. i want limits predictable enough to build a schedule on
lower but predictable limits, or bigger limits with random resets?
a 40b open coding model doing 125 tok/s on a macbook and scoring 89.7% on swe-bench pro
if that holds up on real repos, the $200 plan stops being the default and becomes the fallback
would you run your coding agent fully local if it was 90% of opus?
i'm 30, a dad, shipping Crescitaly.com, crescicode, sendalto and a few more, mostly at early morning
looking to #connect with builders active on x
drop a "hi" if that's you 馃
Hot take: if you're a solo builder, Figma is dead weight now
by the time the mockup is pixel perfect, claude code could've shipped a working version you can click
Figma is turning into a tool for teams to align, not for founders to build
what's the last thing you designed before coding it?
deepseek just raised ~$15b. that's not a chatbot budget
every time open models catch up, the price of frontier coding drops for everyone
if an open model hits opus level next year, are you still paying for max?
currently building: Crescicode, Crescitaly, Crescipulse, Journey, Electrolyte brand and clothing brand. Probably too many. shipping anyway
claude code compacting mid task is where most agent sessions quietly die
the summary keeps the plan and drops which files it already touched
free fix: have the agent keep a progress.md it updates after every edit, and tell it to reread it right after compaction
what's your trick for this?
85% of public claude code configs have zero deny rules
we give agents the keys to the repo, the terminal and the .env and just hope
5 minutes, add deny rules for rm -rf, force push and reading secrets. do it before the agent does something you can't undo
do you run yours locked down or full yolo?
claude duet is basically "an agent that works while you sleep and asks before doing anything risky"
the hard part was never the model. it's trusting it with your inbox and calendar
would you give a proactive agent write access on day one, or read-only for a month first?
openai models + codex are now in google cloud. that's all 3 big clouds
the model war is turning into a procurement war. most companies won't pick the best model, they'll pick whatever burns down their cloud commit
benchmarks don't matter if finance picks the model
honest question for solo builders: do you still open figma before you build?
with claude code a working prototype now takes less time than a clean mockup. the mockup is starting to feel like the slow draft
