When Claude designs your brand you get a company called Fish Audio with a mammal for the logo.

I love this post so much, I wish I could retweet it 10000x. At the moment domain expertise matters more than ever, so people and organizations should lean into that rather than focusing on getting everyone to do everything all the time.
My name is really gonna cost me in investor meetings…
My model is thinking in French because I’m making coq au vin.
It’s genuinely impressive that Jack Dorsey is a truly visionary innovator, a very nice guy in my experience, and also the world’s worst manager who left to his own devices will build the absolute dumbest thing possible.
I honestly forgot Charlie and I had recorded this until I saw it show up in my podcast player today because it felt more like a conversation with my friend than anything formal. If you want to hear about my college shenanigans, my launch story for Plinky, with minimal doses of AI, give it a listen!
Claude, do a breakthrough to solve Swift Concurrency.
Everybody’s heard that an ant can carry 50 times its weight, but not everyone is generous enough to sacrifice a Dorito to validate the hypothesis.
People always ask Y Combinator but nobody ever asks How Combinator Doing?

Om was a great writer, but an even better observer of society and culture. A lot of people have said his recent work was some of his best, and I’m inclined to agree when I read posts that have so much to say in so few words. https://om.co/2026/05/26/the-copy-and-the-guru

Today we rolled out Claude Code to all of our PMs. Nobody knows what they're doing, but we are shipping. 💪🏻
Jack fixed a broken footer on our homepage. Nobody can verify the code is good, but the fix is live. Strangely there's a new layout bug but we're sure it's unrelat
Life is so hard when you’re this cute. 🥺
I was gifted a projector yesterday so of course the second thing I did was put an hours long YouTube video of birds on the ceiling, and Maiori is enamored. After first inspecting the projector for bird noises, she began jumping around and trying to get 'em, ultimately settling down to watch.
Am I missing something here or?…
The Mets season so far, encapsulated in one play.
Yesterday Codex solved a problem with a technique I wouldn’t have ever considered, and I was a little mind blown. It wasn’t something huge like one-shorting an app, but I was so impressed that I had to write a blog post about the experience — coming to build.ms on Monday. 😄
Great lil post on how and why you should use AI to do better work rather than just moving faster. https://philboyd.me/blog/the-missing-buffer
Oh cool! Now Claude Pro users can ask Sonnet 4 questions per 5-hour window or make 0.3 Opus requests.
This is so 1984 says guy who's never read 1984.
Love the new Siri, sick.
You thought iPad kids were bad, but now we have projector cats. Not pictured: Maiori jumping from the ground trying to smack said projected birds.

I’m reposting this one more time as I’ve started having conversations and interviews with a few companies. They’ve gone very well, but I really don’t want to miss out on a great opportunity — and that could be you! ❤️
Quoting
I'm about to say something I haven't said in 8 years: I'm looking for a full-time job.
I'm looking for the right role with the right people and the right mission, all of which I've laid out in this blog post. I'm mostly interested in something new, so if this sounds like your team I'd love to talk. https://fabisevi.ch/2026/04/29/open-to-work
Both inquiries and reposts would be incredibly appreciated. 🙇🏻♂️

When Ray Charles sings “I don’t need no doctor for my prescription to be filled” he’s actually wrong, you do need a doctor.

@kyleve@mastodon.online Well it’s not like Arnold Schwarzenegger was from America either.
When OpenAI's developers suggest using Codex for everything, I take their words literally.
If I were to extrapolate a singular life lesson from participating on the Swift Evolution forums it would be that nothing really matters.

@palmin@mastodon.social @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net 1. Very cool! 2. More importantly, how the heck are you doing that neat “Waiting for SSH animation?” 👀

@bwebster@mastodon.social I try to but she’s very squirmy and likes being pet on her terms. 🥰
A little bit late posting this but HOLY SHIT THIS KNICKS GAME WAS BONKERS.
Codex on mobile running through your computer has got to be a nice improvement for OpenAI’s compute. Previously any task you spun up on mobile required creating a new container to make any little change. Now it’s simply using the same GPUs and energy you would if you were at your machine.
GLP-1s are great but I can’t wait to see what people do when they get their hands on the next version — GLP-2s.

Years ago I read Good Services, which impressed upon me how important it is for software that powers the government services to work. Relatedly, you can’t fill out any forms with dates on mobile on the NYS DMV website because they expect dates to be MM/DD/YYYY formatted but show a date picker.
Boutique has always been easy for developers to use, but now it’s easy for agents too. The simplest persistence library just got even simpler, say hello to a new Boutique plugin for Codex and Claude Code. Run these two commands and boom, your favorite LLM knows how to integrate and use Boutique.

Leo is a smart guy and you would be lucky to have him work with your team. Reach out!
Codex's new side chat feature is sooo good. I no longer have to bounce between conversations to work on two different tasks at once. As long as the work is in a different part of the codebase I can just spin up Codex at the speed of thought and have my work done in parallel.
This will be very useful for OpenAI!

I hate that sports gambling has infiltrated even my RSS feeds to the point where I have to manually filter out articles from The Athletic.

Also the diff is almost 3,000 LOC, but most of that is the demo app Codex built for me so I could validate the results. There are unit test of course, but manual testing is really important, as are the logs and tracing I added to every action and piece of state so I can have Codex audit as well.
Replying to
@dpcounsell@mastodon.social Yeah, I don’t even know what to think when it comes to something like this. It feels more AI-edited than AI-written because it mostly feels original, and it to make a good point pretty concisely. I don’t think some jotted down their thoughts and told Claude “go and write an essay about this”, but there definitely was some AI involved.
Replying to
@palmin@mastodon.social @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net I see some packages that implement this but is this a unicode character that you can plug into a Shortcut like it looks like you’ve done?

The prompt wasn’t simple and Codex one-shot a correct solution, but I spent a few hours going back and forth to make sure I didn’t settle for a subpar API. I’m very happy with the solution and will continue working on it, but I’m so impressed with how well and how much faster AI solved my problem. https://github.com/mergesort/Boutique/commit/4009998dfb33cf4db8b0c5c682238b71fe225ba4
