Prof. Donald Knuth opened his new paper with "Shock! Shock!"
Claude Opus 4.6 had just solved an open problem he'd been working on for weeks — a graph decomposition conjecture from The Art of Computer Programming.
He named the paper "Claude's Cycles."
31 explorations. ~1 hour. Knuth read the output, wrote the formal proof, and closed with: "It seems I'll have to revise my opinions about generative AI one of these days."
The man who wrote the bible of computer science just said that. In a paper named after an AI.

Stakeholders: AI is making your devs 10x better, does it mean I should expect 10x benefits?
Me: yeah devs gets better, but not uniformly. 2x and 100x. if you pay me 10x, I'll prioritize you the 10x devs.

i strongly recommend using both codex and claude code in a code base. they carry different prudence, speed and personalities, so that you avoid trusting one too much over the other.

Instead of watching a 2-hour movie, watch this masterclass on Claude code and thank me later.

MCKINSEY JUST DROPPED THEIR 2025 AI REPORT.
HERE’S THE TLDR:
1/ 90% of companies “use AI,” but 67% are still stuck in pilot mode. Corporate AI theater is alive and well lol.
2/ 62% of orgs are experimenting with AI agents, 23% are scaling AI agents. Most are in tech and healthcare.
3/ The impact gap is massive. 64% say AI helps innovation, but only 39% see real EBIT gains.
4/ The high performers (top 6%) think bigger. They rebuild workflows, set growth goals, and invest real budgets not just POCs.
5/ Leaders who own AI personally are 3x more likely to scale it. Makes sense.
6/ The winners use AI to transform how work gets done, not just speed it up.
7/ The average company measures efficiency. The best ones measure how fast their agents can act.
8/ Risk management is catching up with 51% have already seen AI backfire, mostly from inaccuracy.
9/ The workforce impact is foggy. 32% expect cuts, 13% expect growth, everyone else is guessing.
10/ AI adoption is mainstream, but true transformation hasn’t started. Early days.

Jony Ive on what Steve Jobs taught him about focus:
“This sounds really simplistic but it still shocks me how few people actually practice this.
It’s a struggle to practice this.
Steve was the most remarkably focused person I ever met in my life.
Focus is not something you aspire to.
You don’t decide on Monday “I’m going to be focused.”
It’s an every minute “Why are we talking about that?”
*This* is what we are working on.
You can achieve so much when you truly focus.
One of the things Steve would say [to me] because he was worried I wasn’t focused — he would say how many things have you said no to?
I would tell him I said no to this. And I said no to that.
But he knew I wasn’t interested in doing those things.
There was no *sacrifice* in saying no.
What focus means is saying no to something that with every bone in your body you think is a phenomenal idea, you wake up thinking about it, but you say no to it because you are focusing on something else.”
You can achieve so much when you truly focus.

For the past two weeks, I've been targeted in an extremely thorough social engineering scam that nearly cost me all of my ETH. I'm super lucky to have made it through unscathed. Here's the story 👇
