Cashed a check (yes check!) for $22,499 yesterday from a customer. You need to get 374 customers paying you $5/month to replace this one customer. There are plenty of companies out there that pay money for software. Don't be fooled into thinking Twitter is the real world!

13 years ago, Apple asked a question that hits me harder today than ever:
If everyone is busy making everything, how can anyone perfect anything?
Every day, I see a world flooded with effortless AI slops. I’m realizing that to build something truly great today, you need a level of focus the world has never demanded before.
It feels like trying to write a quiet, beautiful song in a room full of loud noise.
Taking a break from all the B2B launches and working on a couple of personal ideas. Messing around with Davinci for a demo launch showcase.

If I were younger and hungrier, I'd put every ounce of effort into replacing every doctor with AI. That would be my life goal. Doctors are SO bad.
Only in Malaysia we still call it portal.
The ultimate joke is that we pay for an employment platform that costs more than a funded startup in the States that has solved this.
All while the contract is awarded to a company that has a site design from before the dot com bust.

ITMAX is going places.
Securing great IT jobs
I just reserved my Cloudflare Wallet tag: chronokaizen.cloudflare.pay.

Looking ahead whilst understanding the gap that exists is where one can extract value.
.@dhh on how @tobi saw the potential of AI before most others:
“The difference between a great racer and a mediocre racer is very often where do they look?
If you're looking at the turn-in where you're supposed to turn, and not at the apex —you're not going to hit it.
You go where you look.
Don't look at the tree or you'll steer right into it.
And training your eyes to look further ahead is actually quite difficult in racing, and I think it's quite difficult in business and life in general.
And Tobi had an eye that was just looking further ahead than I was. And he was going "Yeah but it's [AI] not going to be like this forever.”
Intuitively had this understanding of the evolution.
And I'm still not entirely sure what did he see? Why didn't I see it?
And I'm actually a little frustrated on my own behalf that I did not have the same conviction as Tobi did as early as he did, towards seeing yeah you don't like it right now but just imagine two more years of this.
And he wrote a memo to the company internally I think in '23 or early '24 way before agents were doing the work on their own going: I've seen it.
This is the big switch.
This is what we've been waiting for.
This is why I'm here as CEO to identify those kind of discontinuations in the trend line. We need to be a very different company to be able to position ourselves for that and take advantage of that.”

Another hot take: you are not the bottleneck, you are an essential part of the agent backpressure. Never ship at speeds greater than what you can review.

just got off a call with a founder. here's roughly what i told him, felt worth sharing.
i'm a 2x founder, one exit. i've been in the lowest phase you can be in and clawed my way back from it. so this isn't theory for me.
i'm waiting for a mission worth joining.
i can build. that's never been the problem. i've shipped things, helped other people ship things, and i could plug into a dozen teams tomorrow and be useful by friday.
but useful isn't the bar.
everyone's building something right now. most of it is a business wearing a mission like a costume. raise, grow, exit. the poster on the wall says change the world, the roadmap says lift retention three percent.
i don't want a job. i want a reason to go all the way in.
going all the way in costs something real. your best years, your full attention, the other version of your life where you did the different thing instead. you don't hand that over for a costume.
so i wait. from the outside it looks like laziness. it's really just me guarding the one shot i get at this.
there's a risk in it, i know. wait long enough and you forget how to commit at all. you turn into a critic of missions instead of a member of one.
but the almost-thing is the real trap. good enough to keep you, never good enough to deserve you. i'd rather stay hungry than settle in there and call it a life.

You don't become a software engineer when you get the offer and join a company.
You become one by spending a lot of time on solving good engineering problems.
Site revamp in progress for an amazing client (in relation to training shipping quotation model and legal framework model).

America really need a government with a functioning brain
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.
Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…
Prototyping for a shipping company (huge project deal) with @CopilotKit and training the model with @PrimeIntellect on shipping quotations based on real time data -- pilot run at the moment.
