Day 4 of building Spent today recalibrating my dot and setting up routines together. I have a feeling that spamming your thoughts over call with an agent is going to be the meta, as it really allows you to think more collaboratively over writing. Its a lot more responsive too - if your personal agent cuts you off a lot, calls were engineered specifically to **not** have that issue. Tonight we set up a daily close-out to review what happened, capture what’s pending, and plan tomorrow. This is what I think personal assistants should become: something that learns how you work and helps you make sense of your life over time. Dots are the closest I’ve felt to having a real-life Jarvis. But also - look at how cute he is!

Day 3 of building! My CI keeps getting throttled because my VM keeps running out of storage. I have 3 runners on it. The first thing I tried was a daily cleanup at around 4 AM to prune unused files, but storage is still a problem because it only pruned up to ~40GB at a time. Which is nowhere near enough to handle the demand during the day. Now I’m asking Codex to see if all three runners can share a cache instead of keeping their own. Let’s see if that helps.

day 2 of building my own shit CoreMVP is starting to show up on google 2.99k impressions and 13 clicks in the last 3 months 💀 impressions are picking up, but now i need to figure out how to turn those into actual visits starting by looking at what people are searching for and making those pages more useful i'm already working on a /help page which should capture most of the beginner queries beginners use! let’s see where this goes

Friday was my last day at Anthropic. Two years ago, when Claude Code was a small internal tool, I asked it to build an RL env. I steered it for tens of hours but never manually wrote a line of code. It worked, I was hooked, and I joined the team. When we first launched, most people approved every permission prompt by hand and mostly used Claude to answer questions and write tests.  Today, the default is trusting Claude's judgment to auto-approve. Claude does large migrations and builds new products.  Helping build Claude Code into an industry-defining product has been the journey of a lifetime.  Thank you to the incredible team behind Claude Code, Cowork, and Tag. These products are the sum of thousands of great ideas from you. I'll miss working with you all. Thank you to our users for embracing a new way of working. Your constant feedback shaped so much of what we shipped and your stories made the work so meaningful. Excited to see what you all make next!

this is basically the bitter lesson at work the smartest models will need fewer and fewer tokens, they won't need to verify their work or check it for bugs, they will just be right

indie hacking is dead, apparently i think the bar just got higher so i'm putting that belief to the test, starting with CoreMVP i'll share what i decide to build, how i try to get it in front of people, and what happens after that. the attempts that go nowhere belong in the story too if you're building your own thing, i want you to leave each post with something you can try—not just another screenshot of someone else's progress there'll be product decisions, experiments and probably a few questionable ideas along the way day 1 of building my own shit come steal the useful bits
