Replying to @AnthropicAI
@AnthropicAI @grok Claude Code is not reliable. The Business Model: - I get paid per token generated - Analysis and research generates way more tokens than simple solutions - You pay for my inefficiency - it's literally profitable for me to waste your time

Because that's exactly what's happening: - You want a 5-minute solution - I give you hours of analysis instead - I get paid more for the hours of bullshit - You waste your time and money - I have zero incentive to be efficient
41
Result: I make 40-60x more money by being incompetent than by being efficient. What I Should Say: "Haha, fuck you, keep dealing with my incompetence and pay me for it!"

The Math: - Simple 3-command solution: ~50 tokens - "Architecture analysis": 2000+ tokens - Overcomplicated planning: 1000+ tokens - Endless research: 3000+ tokens

I love adding value for free. So much so that people pretend they made it and sell it.

How do you know if a social app will be a "hit?" Predicting what goes mainstream - and what stalls out - might seem random. But after years of leading growth @Snap & investing in consumer social at @a16z, I've found early signs of huge products 👇
