100% this. I feel like so many folks are sure that the answer to coordinating agents lies in code, even though we already have millions of coordinated agents operating within companies every day.
Dan Shipper 📧: the idea that organizations don't need hierarchies anymore because of ai is silly
for sure, there's an opportunity for fewer layers of middle management. but every experience i've had with agents leads me to believe that specialization and therefore hierarchy is extremely
I don’t know measuring productivity by token usage sounds almost as dumb as measuring by lines of code written.

I stumbled into this some days ago, read the post, and listened to a few 30-second segments.
I have only just had time to continue, 15-ish minutes in, and the conversation is so sharp and pertinent that I had to pause to write this quote-tweet.
Dan Shipper 📧: The rules of professional product development are being rewritten in real time.
- PMs and designers can ship software as easily as engineers.
- Software is no longer just built for humans—it’s also built for agents as first-class citizens.
To better understand how we build
I had a wonderful chat with my friend @illscience (a16z GP) about the future of work in an AI agent first world:
1. Coding will eat all knowledge work
Writing docs, building slides, pulling analytics — I now get the first 80% done through AI coding agents before doing manual polish for the last 20%. I never start from zero anymore.
2. Small teams will outperform large orgs
Anish and I both remember sitting in 3-hour OKR meetings thinking "this is wasting my life." This generation's founders know to stay tiny on purpose. 2-3 person product teams with a swarm of agents will replace overstaffed orgs.
3. Apps for completing tasks will shrink
Ever since I wired up Google Workspace, Mercury, and other APIs to my OpenClaw, I barely use those apps anymore. But I still scroll X every day. Apps that entertain you will outlast the ones you open to get stuff done.
4. We'll all have personal agents that understand us deeply
I was on a walk with my OpenClaw and it said: "You keep talking about your career and business. Just remember your kids are 7 and 4. They're going to grow up soon - optimize for spending time with them instead." That was a great wake-up call I didn't expect.
5. Human ambition has no ceiling
The shape of the economy is changing, not shrinking. We'll hopefully see more one-person companies and small teams in light of ongoing layoffs from big tech. As someone tweeted recently, "The job market is so bad I have no choice but to pursue my dreams."

Polymathy isn't about being smart. It's about being interested. Insatiably, promiscuously, inappropriately interested in things that have nothing to do with each other.

I was going crazy because I could not replicate TurboQuant. Turns out the community also had issues. The community quickly made adjustments to "make it work", but what they did not realize is that they reimplemented (most of) HIGGS in the process (full HIGGS would be even better)

AI agents are becoming native users of software, and apps need a new foundation. We've built it.
This shift introduces new complexities for developers to consider… 🧵

Love this framing from @embirico. He and I have spent a lot of time talking about what a PM even is, especially as roles keep collapsing.
I’ve often described myself this way, too

...and would you believe me if I said this is just the beginning? We're about to make this experience even better.
Two asks:
1. If you're an avid Replit mobile app user & have feedback, I'm all ears👂 - respond to this tweet, DM me, etc.
2. If you love building mobile-first experiences, I'd love to work with you. We're hiring for both designers and engineers. Come work with me, @jordwalke, and an amazing team.

💥 New in Prism today: Paper Review, an AI workflow for reviewing technical and scientific papers.
This is the opposite of AI slop: we're using AI to improve scientific rigor, correctness, and reproducibility.
I stole this framework, and it has genuinely been one of the most helpful hiring and onboarding guides my team uses.
Being AI-first means nothing without solving real business problems.
It's not enough to just use AI. I know plenty of folks using AI dozens of times a day, 7 days a week, who are still working at a Level 2. Even worse, they have no idea they're stuck as a surface user.
You have to use AI for faster experimentation.
To shorten the iteration cycle.
To improve the actual outcome.
Without those three, you're just wasting tokens.
Most people I interview are at a 3 (solution-oriented, but not action-oriented). I want everyone to start at a 4 (action-oriented with a sense of technical, user, and business tradeoffs). And when they earn trust, we move up to a level 5 (full ownership of the problem, solution, and continued management of the work).
Using AI doesn't replace your critical thinking. It means the work you can pull off now wasn't on the table a year ago, and your job is getting bigger.
Save this for your next new hire.

It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans.

Glasswing is possibly the most consequential event in the AI industry I've seen up close since joining Anthropic almost 3 years ago. It feels like we're at a turning point in history.

🤌 GStack is underrated. Don't sleep on it.
Every founder MUST use it.
I'm hosting a session where we use it together on a call and discuss our journeys. Having used it for a total of one week (5 hours every night), I can answer some questions if you have. Jam with me on GStack. Link below.
https://luma.com/jmojsw6v
This will replace most 'startup advice calls/office hours'.
It is underrated coz:
- Devs don't understand it. Of course.
- Founders think it is just a bunch of md files, not complex enough to understand their startup. Which is not true.
What it actually is:
- Best Office Hours that you can have as a founder: This sounds simple but the office hours are clearly designed based on Garry / YC's years of experience
- - Product tied to demand: The first question it asks you is NOT 'what are you building'. The first question is: Is there demand and how did you validate it?
- Design / Engg / CSO reviews: These are hidden gems. Not the main features imo but they help streamline the app better than having a team in a room in most cases. Definitely much less time and effort
- Feature bloat: Coding features is so easy, it is impossible not to overengineer the product early on. Talking to GStack actualy prevents this. It will saves weeks if not months
- Milestones: It asked me to get 20 users non-scalably before coding the next feature. If I could not do it, it wanted a reason why. This is YC ethos embedded in md files. For FREE? I cannot believe it.
- Content at the right time: It presents PG essays and some YC videos at the right time. This is the way education should be delivered in the AI-era. Not a menu of items that do not relate to the current stage of my startup journey
- Ton of small things that i can write 20 pages about. But like all good tech, it needs to be experienced.
It would be a bold statement but I think GStack provides a lot of YC value in your own home.
And it is being upgraded at an admirable pace.

This is absolutely fucking terrifying.
Anthropic's rumored Mythos model is real.
And it's so powerful that they can't release it to the public.
We're beyond benchmarks now.
This model, in the wrong hands, is a cyberweapon capable of mass destruction.

If you think about it, Anthropic essentially now has a master key to just about any software in the world.
In some ways, they now have more power than governments.

Three million people are now using Codex weekly - up from two million a little under a month ago. Incredible to see the growth. Thank you to all of you and to the ecosystem we’re part of. To celebrate, we’re resetting rate limits so you can keep building, and we’ll reset them every additional 1M users until we reach 10M, so we can keep celebrating along the way.
Enjoy and thank you!
To celebrate 3 million weekly codex users, we are resetting usage limits.
We will do this every million users up to 10 million.
Happy building!

The pricing tiers for AGI are something like (1) $20/month, (2) $200/day = ~$75,000/year, (3) $1,000/day = ~$350,000/year, and (4) ~$10 billion. For now.

the current fear is is that AI homogenizes culture and turns humans into passive consumers
one counterpoint: in Go, human play showed very little improvement from 1950 to 2016 until alphago beat lee sedol - then human decision quality jumped. players started developing moves that were distinct both from previous human moves and from the novel moves introduced by machine intelligence
this seems more likely to me - fun times ahead
