"Why has productivity not increased dramatically if everyone is using LLMs all the time already?" ... because a lot of folks haven't changed their workflow. It takes time to re-tool and earn the trust of new methodologies.
Level 1 is agentic coding. Level 2 is agentic managing. Learn to think in higher abstractions, you've done it before. You can do it again.
Level up to roadmaps & plans instead of implementing features & fixing bugs. Always be able to inspect. "Context over control." Kitchens vs Factories. youtube.com/watch?v=MN9dGgmL…
Elaborate agent plans feel like waterfall build cycles, not the small agile loops that give you instant feedback so you can course correct along the way.
People are more of a decision bottleneck than a meat proxy. It’s hard to see 10 decision points down a tree.
Turns out, humans weren’t that great at writing software after all. This spike in CVEs isn’t due to “AI slop”; it’s due to the human kind.
Abstractions build a civilization. Use your talents for work a layer up now. There are still very hard problems to solve.
So much signal on X. I don't see how any other platform was built for this kind of speed. When so much is happening, there's only one way to keep up.
Jensen seems like one of the most humble icons out there. They say never meet your heroes. Jensen might be an exception. Watch at the 9:00 mark.
I've been traveling the world a bit. One of the most incredible experiences was getting to visit Taiwan w/ @JensenHuang. It was wild 🤯.. huge crowds of engineers, insanely good street food at night markets, and of course a lot of good conversations across many days. I caught some of it on video, see below. Alright, that's it from me, love you all ❤️

Why would I pay $15/month for your software when I can plan, build, review, improve, host, launch, scale, secure, patch, monitor and debug it myself?
Muse CLI has entered the chat. Building has never been so much fun. Look up from your keyboard and further out than ever before. There's lots to do.
"The aim isn't to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone to build MORE and BETTER." 👏
I use cross-session messaging in Claude Code all the time now. Can't imagine juggling agents without it. "Tell agent foo to do xyz" and it sends off a message to that repo's agent for you. Best of all, nothing to setup. 💪code.claude.com/docs/en/cros…
Why IPOs are now the payday for private investors, and not the investment they once were for the public. youtube.com/watch?v=roe3Sgez…
The core of embracing AI:
Before: "we need high-quality code so humans can maintain it".
After: "we need a strong process to validate what agents do".
Right now, I consult for several companies. I help their engineering teams introduce AI into their workflows.
Each of these teams has become much more productive than before using AI. Their software is better. They deliver faster and more.
It usually takes time to ramp up, but once they do, it's like a train: unstoppable.
The goal with these teams is to switch their focus:
Before: "we need high-quality code so humans can maintain it".
After: "we need a strong process to validate what agents do".
Many people believe these teams are somehow doomed to one day wake up and realize all of their software is crap. That they will realize all the agentic slop they shipped was useless.
I think those people are delusional.
