Y Combinator invested in Flock Safety in 2017.

i’m all for ambition and tenacity, but this is psychopath level communication… blissfully unaware, simply incapable of reading the room

if claude still can’t yet write and refactor coherent code (on its own, replacing software engs, just like he said last year), why would we expect it to… fucking cure cancer?

“prevent cognitive debt by manually setting type.”

we need to move on

agree with the premise here (distribution is hard; get users or die) BUT there's no better marketing than a GOOD product that brings people real VALUE

get a 1000 users to your site → 1% conversion → 10 users. if those 10 users have a shitty experience because the product SUCKS, then all of that effort getting them there was wasted.

the alternative is making a GOOD product that people actually WANT to use and can get EXCITED about. you keep it SMALL and work with a limited subset of people who are interested in what you have and are willing to try it in exchange for the PROMISE that it will bring them VALUE. if (and only if) you can truly deliver value for this small group, their excitement and optimism WILL radiate outward. from there, it's about surfing these small waves, paying close attention, and very carefully choosing bigger and bigger waves to surf.

as softwarians we MUST make GOOD products that people WANT to use!!!!! throwing away money on advertisements until you have anything GOOD is a waste of time and effort.

turtles all the way down

size of org has a lot to do with the entropy

compare 100 pollocks vs 2-3

start with claude

use it 2 make the plan

use it 2 implement

when u hit the limit switch 2 codex

use codex to code review the implementation

never ask codex to implement its own feedback (wait for claude)

go between codex (review) and claude (respond 2 review with changes) until u get no issues found

then u commit

and greptile will maybe complain

use /greploop to close greptile gripes

winning

cool perspective++

friends, WHEN you are asked to implement something like this at your job, which will you choose: object (& hold ground, loose job) OR comply (& keep job)

as practitioners, where do we hold the line between telemetry and surveillance?

what’s the difference between those two? how can you say one has more value than the other?

absolutely without a doubt it is

likely an intra-US op ordered by Hegseth to punish anthropic for having a backbone and not making claude shoot bombs or do mass surveillance.

early on Monday, all us devs getting back to work. they’re sending dario a chilling reminder to not step out of line…

bet u 20 bucks that’s it!!!!

posts like this are why i visit HN daily!!!

thanks for sharing your knowledge; can’t wait to try out your voice plugin

yes, and Yegge + Huntley are doing it in an fun and creative way, breaking rules that make folks really mad and huffy puffy. this is a renaissance to those who can see it, those who drink the koolaid willingly, because it makes you trip balls and come up with crazy ideas... just like Hypercard...

why do we drink it? because its awesome and makes software 100X more FUN than it used to be. what yegge + huntley are doing is intensely creative. they are having FUN. and i am have FUN!!!!!

yes, totally. AI-luddites see this as whimsy, but it's actually wizard-level power of abstractions and context ascension. if u know u know
