Building AI Agents feels like the purest form of entrepreneurship. Pure delegation and systems building, none of the stuff that ruins company building and slows things down (HR/unreliable people). Just machine building at your own pace. Every entrepreneur's dream š

Sometimes the thinking process in LLM is both funny and accurate: "dist is a maze of modules, no clear CLI entry point. npx is failing and Tailwind v4's structure is unfamiliar. Time to RTFM." (from a Cursor discussion with gemini-2.5-pro)

Iāve been saying this for years. Itās all going to fold into one architecture. Video, audio, robotic actions, eventually even crazy things like scent. Theyāre all just tokens.

This is the correct take. Every time weāve made it easier to program, we see an explosion of more software uses. AI will do this yet again, and weāll see technology get applied to even more problems. This makes the field of programming more useful, not less.
Some people today are discouraging others from learning programming on the grounds AI will automate it. This advice will be seen as some of the worst career advice ever given. I disagree with the Turing Award and Nobel prize winner who wrote, āIt is far more likely that the

One of the highest leverage things founders can do right now is to invest in becoming top 5% in their use of AI coding tools.

My random experiment for today: asking Cursor to reimplement the HubSpot API in Nextjs+Supabase. It wrote great tests and iterated until it got it right. There is a lot more to a great software biz but still.

Iāve been using Cursor for 6 months. Having built many MVPs for myself and clients. The truth: Cursor is really dumb if not given enough context about your project. Here what you can do to improve your Cursor workflowš§µ

This is great advice. Reading investor presentations from public companies is the #1 way to get up to speed on an industry and its trends.
EARNINGS CALLS AND INVESTOR PRESENTATIONS Startup CEOs: one of the highest ROI investments you can make to move forward your understanding of the market you play in, is to read the quarterly investor presentations and listen to the earnings call of the public companies in your

I ran into YJ, the founder of @finalround_ai, at #llamalougne last night hours after seeing this tweet. The AI ecosystem in the SF Bay Area is on fire! Final Round now needs to launch a paid equivalent for interviewers. It's an arms race.
I have kept telling everyone that all remote interviews were over. First it was work samples and coding challenges, now it is the interview itself. The ripple effects of AI on assessment and evaluation are way under appreciated.

The more I work with the @AnthropicAI model, the more I notice it dropping itself into the content (often outright replacing mentions of competitors) and - surprisingly - Andrew Ng. Claude really likes you @AndrewYNg!!

The MAJORITY (> 50%) of every great software company in history to cross $1 Billion in annual revenue raised < $25M in venture capital dollars. Most of that cohort raised zero (totally bootstrapped). https://t.co/0DkLu09TqG
