AI's real superpower: it's a B+ at everything. Engineer, designer, PM. But a high-end product people love still takes humans making the judgment calls. The droid can repair the ship. A human decides where it goes. 2/2 Full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=-6Ff66Sa…

The "one-person billion-dollar company" is the most insane idea I've ever heard. Even if you could do it, why would you want to? If I was making $1 billion in revenue I would be looking for any opportunity to make my customers happier and my life easier as a CEO :)  1/2

Two Things That Can't Both Be True: 1. AI will steal all the jobs 2. AI gets things wrong on the first pass and almost always needs to be corrected

We've rethought how we work 3 times in one year because of AI: single-player tools, multiplayer standards, rebuilt sprints. Hardest part of the job now? Getting the initial prompt right. 2/2 Full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=-6Ff66Sa…

The new bottleneck isn't building anymore. It's the human review. At Ayrshare, AI takes us from idea to pull request in basically one prompt. So two engineers review every AI-written PR. AI never ships unchecked. 1/2

To all @Ayrshare customers out there - we don't use PHP anywhere in our stack. Thanks @NSACyber for the alert!
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

There's a massive vulnerability in #PHP that's affecting a lot of the Internet (Wordpress, Drupal, etc). @Ayrshare customers - you should know that we don't use PHP anywhere in our codebase. Be careful putting your data in websites for the next few days #CyberSecurity

If you want to manage your social media inside @claudeai check out our MCP :)
Any MCP-aware agent can now read from and act through Ayrshare, including publishing, analytics, comments, and more. Here’s what that unlocks. 1. Your agent can pull 200–500 past posts from a profile, including posts published outside Ayrshare. That means it can understand the brand’s voice right away, instead of figuring it out after the twentieth post. 2. Before a post goes live, Ayrshare checks it against each platform’s rules: ✅Banned hashtags ✅Duplicate content ✅Posting limits ✅Platform-specific requirements A bad post never reaches the network. 3. One request can publish across 13+ social networks, with per-platform customization built in. So your agent can plan, check, and publish social posts from the same workflow. Social publishing is becoming part of your agent stack. Read more here: ayrshare.com/blog/ayrshare-c…

Great post - getting passed around the office today 😀
“I got my 3 best engineers in a room with me for 3 days straight to rip out a vendors saas. We have now replaced it with our own solution. The saas cost $288/year and I spent $3000 doing it Amortised over 10 years, I lost $118. Not even factoring in token costs”

This is a huge feature for live events. Reach out if you want to learn more.
Ayrshare now supports X’s Amplify monetization programs in beta. This allows publishers to configure pre-roll ads and sponsorship programs directly at publish time, without switching to Media Studio. ayrshare.com/monetize-x-vide… cc @XDevelopers

X no longer allows API providers to use one shared developer app for every customer. Each customer needs their own X Developer app connected to the API. Here’s what to check before choosing a provider: ayrshare.com/blog/x-api-comp…

We added three new updates to our Claude Code standards from this thread - thanks @brian_scanlan
We've been building an internal Claude Code plugin system at Intercom with 13 plugins, 100+ skills, and hooks that turn Claude into a full-stack engineering platform. Lots done, more to do. Here's a thread of some highlights.

We've made significant progress in recovering our U.S. infrastructure with our U.S. data center partner. However, the U.S. user experience may still have some technical issues, including when posting new content. We're committed to bringing TikTok back to its full capacity as soon as possible. We'll continue to provide updates. Thanks for your patience.

I rarely agreed with Elon this year, but today he is 🔥 We do not need to give trillions to the ultra wealthy and stick ourselves with decades of debt payments. This is an abomination. Call your reps.
Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL

Tariffing the world is Kamikaze Economics. I’m sorry for everyone caught in the blast radius.
