so about the bendingsp. acquisition of airtable, i figured out how this can play out. simple playbook. 1. raise some money 2. find a b2b saas company that raised more for a useless product 3. their product is now worthless because of claude code and the gang. so no one will even try to outbid BUT
i've just spent 10 minutes trying to copy text from one apple note to another one. each time, it ends up copying some random garbage that's in neither of these notes. i had to type the text by hand. what the fuck.
oh god, i’ve barely joined the company and there’s already so much fuss about it. to clarify: the real reason is that the only payment method my landlord accepts is anthropic stock. so yes, i’m working for a paycheck. couldn’t care less about the “lets make a chatbot” vision.
open source in 2010: most issues in your repo come from wordpress magicians who don't know how to install python open source in 2018: most issues in your repo come from corp lawyers expecting you adhere to their internal policies open source in 2026: most issues in your repo are hallucinated by ai
i've been ignoring the attention economy whole life. a month ago i realized every interaction is a scarce resource auction and i've been giving mine away for free like some kind of open source idiot.
went to a startup meetup. every other person there claimed to be a “GTM Engineer”. is the market for Google Tag Manager really this good? i thought it’s a single snippet you copy-paste into your website.
google has just published an explanation of why ai is important. nice try gemini, we can see the em-dashes.
product idea: “linkedin-native ai girlfriend”. you add her to your professional network and she fills the void in the results of your outreach campaign. unlike a real person, she’s always up to jump on a quick call, and will never forget to respond to your pitch deck.
if ai existed 20 years ago, steve wouldn’t need johnny ive at all. he’d just prompt “design something that makes people cry and costs $999” and ai hands him a rectangle with no ports, then he unveils it like he reinvented fire
that's what the anthropic export controls were trying to protect us from. let's go.

if ai existed 20 years ago zuck wouldn’t have had to invent facebook. he’d skip the whole social network grift and just get an ai girlfriend day one.
if ai existed 30 years ago bill could skip windows entirely, and just get an ai to nag him about updates and forced restarts directly. he’d have more time to fix his marriage and feel guilty about malaria.

every time i visit a friend’s house i say “alexa, wake me up at 3am” out loud. because somewhere in a data center jeff is taking notes and i want my friend’s sleep schedule to suffer for hosting surveillance hardware in their living room. trust but verify. mostly verify. mostly make them suffer.
aws just became a quintillion dollar company, making jeff the first quintillionaire and overtaking elon as richest man in the world. it’s now also the largest creditor in the world, all thanks to a billing system “miscalculation”.

went to an ai meetup in sf last night. all slides were clearly written by chatgpt. one of the presenters didn’t even bother showing up, his presentation included an ai avatar who gave the talk. pizza was free, sponsored by openai.

SE (excited): HELL YEAH, VIBECODING!!! LET'S GO -- we stared at my claude for 30 seconds, it spat out 2 lines -- SE: see, that was easy. so, does your office have those little cold brew taps or do we have to suffer like animals
interviewed an ex-FAANG staff engineer (SE) turned into a vibe coder me: let's start with something simple. let's load some data from a csv file and then sort it by the first column SE: i'll have to do this in python, because that's the language i've been using for the past 15 years
bun rewrote a million lines of zig into rust using ai in six days and the result has more static mut blocks than a hand-rolled c project from 1995. memory safety, but as a suggestion.
my boss: vibe code everything now, company policy also my boss: why haven’t the mac minis shipped, it’s been two months bro. you’ve ordered it on a vibe-coded amazon clone. it doesn’t have any stock.

xbox raised console prices over a memory shortage. then solved their own memory shortage by deleting 3,200 employees.
