I cannot explain how terrible it is to see OpenAI’s CEO advocating to use their own AI product to have LESS personal connection with those closest to you: family and kids. No, don’t use AI to create a podcast about your kids based on their calendars. Talk to your kids, not to AI

cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night: connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests. every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

Gen Z employee: Hi I want to do this very normal thing Manager: I will let you as long as I can write a post about it and go viral 🤝

I just was reviewing some code It was good Real good I couldn't believe that an llm did something I could really believe was quality I asked cursor what phase are we on? I have a 7 phase system for feature dev It said phase 1 I realized that this was my change I wrote yesterday This a real story.

We live so much of our life in negatives, in fact G.K. Chesterton referred to this as the second fall of man. > don't drink because its bad for you. > exercise or you will die early > staying up late will harm your thinking Everything is viewed through a negative. We no longer have the knowledge of good and evil, just evil. Here is my good focused driver that I think about regularly > Having joy in the craft drives you to action You get to build what your brain can come up with. No where in the history of man has the imaginations been so thoroughly realized. What a time to be alive. Even better? You get to ask in english to explain a technical concept and out will come a (hopefully) accurate description! I want to build something I love. Love fundamentally requires sacrifice. I want something that I cared for, worked hard for, and am proud of. My goal is not simply just the outcome. The finished product. The approximation of my idea manifested through a series of loops and prompts. My goal is not simply IKEA furniture, its discovery and joy and hardwork and being thoughtful and considering how to tame the behemoth. Ultimately, I want precisely the idea and ideal overlapping in the thing i craft.

Mate we’re getting transported back in time to Spurs 2015-2019. The central build-up and counter-press has been unbelievable.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. businessinsider.com/uber-coo-andre…

Today is a hard day. I shared this note with the @linear team today: We’ve made the difficult decision to increase our workforce. This is not a cost-cutting exercise or a reflection of anyone’s performance. We’re simply reimagining every role for the agentic AI era. We’re hiring. We’re sorry about that.

Ben Sasse: "What’s really happening is these superdevices in our pockets — the largest tools any median individual’s ever had access to in all of human history — allow our consciousness to leave the time and place where we actually live, the places where we break bread, the people who are living next door to us, the people that you can physically touch and hug, the small platoons of real community, and we allow our consciousness to go really far away"

Just spent two days with senior staff at Anthropic and a group of Christians deeply committed to finding redemptive paths for AI. Encouraging on many fronts. Above all I think the guests were unanimously blown away by the humility and moral seriousness of Anthropic's leadership.

This is the best explanation I have heard of how AI is impacting the software landscape. Not just the stocks, but the actual fundamentals of the businesses underneath From AI Czar David Sacks himself "You take a product like Salesforce that deals with all your customer contracts and revenue. You are not going to replace that with code that has been spit out of a coding assistant that has not been fully vetted Think about how many bug reports on Salesforce's code base over the last 25 years. Maybe millions of them. That system has been tested across thousands of large customers and enterprises The idea that you are just going to rip out that system and replace with code that has been probabilistically generated by an AI engine yesterday, with a small team to maintain it internally, just does not seem realistic to me"

JD Vance: “It is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” This is supposed to be Christian?

I watched a man film his daughter's first steps and he watched it through the screen. she walked toward him and he was not there he was in the rectangle and she reached for a ghost. that is the whole thing now. we are building a perfect archive of a life no one attended

@jakepaul Experiencing heartbreak is human. Loneliness won't be prevented.

I used to think the main damage from social media was to youth mental health. Now I believe that the global destruction of the human ability to pay attention may be even larger. A meta-analysis shows the damage, to adults as well as teens, from TikTok+ psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2026-…

Bingeing TikTok reels may be hazardous to your well-being. 71 studies, >98k people: The more short-form videos teens and adults watched, the more they struggled with attention, self-control, and stress and anxiety. Read a book. Watch a movie. Long live longform.

Apple JUST quietly announced something that’s a lot BIGGER than it looks: "the Mini Apps Partner Program" Apple is admitting that the future of software is embedded, lightweight, vertical mini-apps distributed inside bigger app For founders who want to make $$ building apps: 1. Apple just legitimized the “superapp” model for the West. China has WeChat mini-programs. India has PhonePe Switch. The West has… nothing. Apple just opened the door. You can now run HTML/JS mini-apps inside a native host and earn 85% on qualifying purchases. That’s Apple-sanctioned platform piggybacking. 2. Distribution arbitrage becomes real again. You don’t need to convince users to download your app. Just partner with a host app and drop in a mini-app. This is a cheat code for early traction. Think: travel apps hosting niche tools, fitness apps hosting mini workouts, marketplaces hosting micro-utilities. 3. Apple is creating a new economy layer: “embedded SaaS.” Imagine: CRM mini-apps inside vertical tools. Math solver mini-apps inside education apps. Calendar mini-apps inside productivity apps. The TAM for tools that don’t need standalone installs just went vertical. 4. Developers get an 85% revenue share. This is Apple basically saying: “We want this ecosystem to grow, and we’re willing to cut our take rate.” When Apple lowers its cut, I pay attention because they see a platform shift coming. 5. AI makes this 10× more important. LLM-powered micro-apps (calculators, planners, agents, coaches, niche utilities) are tiny by design. They’re perfect mini-apps. Apple just created infrastructure for AI-native micro utilities to live inside bigger apps with built-in commerce. 6. Host apps become new “distribution landlords.” If you own an app with traffic, you become a platform. You can host mini-apps, take a cut, and build a developer ecosystem around you. It’s a new monetization model for existing apps with audiences. 7. This unlocks a wave of second-order opportunities. - Agencies helping apps become mini-app hosts - Mini-app dev shops - “Shopify for mini-apps” toolkits - Mini-app marketplaces - Analytics for mini-app performance - Discovery engines for mini-apps - I'll be dropping mini app ideas on @ideabrowser and @startupideaspod TLDR; Apple just turned every high-traffic app into a potential superapp and every indie developer into a potential platform partner. The App Store is becoming modular, composable, and layered. The next decade of consumer apps will look less like standalone products and more like ecosystems stitched together with mini-apps. This is quietly one of the biggest distribution unlocks in years.

I just came across The Product-Minded Software Engineer from @GergelyOrosz and resonate so deeply with it! I now have a phrase for what I've aspired to be since breaking into tech. May have to grab the book! blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-product-mi…
