people at work assume I have some kind of magic methodology or crazy complex prompts
i literally just start every prompt with "hey big dawg" and let my agents run nuts for a few hours

the tech industry spent basically the past 15 years doing the worst possible thing for their users and now LLMs are letting people debloat their TVs, ignore upsells in checkouts, revive games studios gave up on, crack open whatever software you want
i love it

I’ve seen this play out so many times over the last 6 months
he’s gonna join Anthropic on Monday. They are scooping everyone up
I’ve left Anthropic after more than a year of working on Claude Code and seeing it scale larger than I ever imagined.
I have really loved working at Ant and believe deeply in the mission, and most of all, the idea of a race to the top.
The idea that if we work hard and responsibly, we can raise the bar and inspire others to great outcomes. And if we all push each other to be better, things can be radically good. I will carry the spirit of this with me forever.
My colleagues at Anthropic are the most talented, thoughtful, competent, and earnest people I have ever met. I am glad they are at the wheel and trust them deeply.
To the community on X, thank you for everything. You’ve made this the most fun (and sometimes stressful) job I’ve ever had.
For me, it is time for a bit of a break before diving into something new.
If you want more excellent Claude Code content, you should follow @addyosmani , @lydiahallie, @_catwu, @ClaudeDevs and of course @bcherny who started it all.

there's no excuse for bad design taste anymore
so much great design is out in the open now. you can collect what you love, figure out why you love it, and build your own taste from that
i keep a library of designs i like and my agents read it before they build anything. made this from it

software engineers did not ask for this work to be done

my agents have a boss now. it's named after my cat
luna takes everything i ask for and hands it to an x team or a code team
i made a little garden so i can actually see what they're doing. each task is a plant that blooms when it's done
anyone else giving their agents a hierarchy, or do they all just report to you?

The models aren't causing this. Decades of sloppy, inserious bs and corner cutting is causing this. Decades of "quick, let's outsource to the cheapest codemonkeys we can find" are causing this.
You can cry about it, or you can actually FIX THINGS. Either way, it's time for some reaping what was sewn. Burying your head in the sand doesn't fix anything. After a period of time, the vulnerabilities will be patched and things will stabilise again. Literally nothing has happened, except long standing problems have been identified that you were blissfully unaware of

Grok Bot is so good that I wish I could use it on WhatsApp too.
It's literally been helping me organize my life in ways I never even imagined were possible.
mohammad retweeted
today, we're excited to announce change reports.
@raindrop_ai watches every PR and sends you slack dm's on how your agent changes actually performed in production

the most important skill as you get older to learn is prioritization
only so many hours in the day, & will be tempted to do it all & you may succeed for a bit but it never scales and focus is skill on it own
take a small amount of time to plan/prioritize then execute p1 asap

I highly recommend listening to Richard Hamming's talk "You and Your Research"
1. On choosing what matters
“If what you're working on is not important and it's not likely to lead to important things, why are you working on it?”
2. On effort versus direction
“The guy who works hardest doesn't win. The person who works on the right problem at the right time in the right way is what counts, and nothing else.”
3. On defining success for yourself
“You might as well lead a life you would like to have, and I suggest you a life of doing something significant by your definition of significant is worthwhile.”
4. On creating opportunities
“The onus is on you to demonstrate greatness, and then you'll get the opportunities. It's not the other way around.”
5. On making time to choose your work
“I spent 10 percent of my time trying to answer the question what are the important problems in my field?”
6. On having direction
“When you have a vision, you will go a long way. Without a vision of what you're going to do or where you're going to be, you're not going to get very far.”
7. On preparing for luck
“You prepare yourself the way you lead from day to day, will lead your life from day to day, you prepare yourself for success or you don't. And when the lightning strikes, you're either ready or you're not.”
8. On finding your own approach
“You can't be everybody, but you have to find your own method and studying success is a very good way of forming your own style.”
9. On persistence and judgment
“I've seen a lot of people abandon a good idea too soon and I've seen people cling to a bad idea too long.”
10. On conviction without blindness
“Great scientists believe the theory is true enough so they continue working, because if you don't believe a theory is true, you won't. But they disbelieved enough to notice what's wrong and make the big change to the new theory.”
