As a software developer who spends his days building a link-saving app and his nights telling everyone that in the very near future people will be able to easily build their own software to solve their personal problems — this is my existential crisis coming to life.

the hack to being productive with claude code is to start the project with great e2e tests that are declarative enough that they let you precisely specify behavior without saying too much

it's really magic

Private inference
When you use an AI service, you’re handing over your thoughts in plaintext. The operator stores them, trains on them, and–inevitably–will monetize them. You get a response; they get everything.

We keep saying: "AI will handle the boring stuff, and humans will supervise." But the problem is--as AI reliability improves, it becomes really hard to motivate a human to conscientiously monitor it.

In a new WP with Gerard Cachon, we describe the "human-AI contracting paradox."

ok maybe someone with kids can help me out here. we have the sago mini apps on child's tablet and at one point she found a game/scenario/whatever in it where you controlled a little bird and it was in a house/apartment and there was a closet the bird could go in.

does anyone know what this is
