My favorite way to use this rocket launcher of a model on knowledge work: Point Fable at one of your trickiest problem. GTM strategy, website redesign, internal operations. Connect it to all the relevant context (Notion, meeting notes, Slack, analytics) Describe the final artifact or outcome you want (a templated document, shipped PRs, a live prototype) Run @kieranklaassen's /lfg command in a /loop with compound engineering, walk away for at least four hours, come back and review the work
Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

every forecast had this quarter pegged as the rebound. ottawa projected 1.4%. rbc and td both said 1.7%. q4 was the dip, q1 was supposed to be the recovery. we got roughly zero growth yes, this is a technical recession but the longer pattern is what really matters and what concerns me most real gdp per person grew 0.6% in all of 2025. it fell in 2024. it fell in 2023. we haven’t become richer per person in years, and it’s crazy to me that we keep acting surprised when our growth is stalled we have fundamental productivity and investment problems that won’t fix themselves I will sound like I’m beating a dead horse here, but worth repeating again… we know what we need to do to fix this: 1. make capital gains and corporate tax rates at least as good with the US, if not materially better. across all industries. 2. open up protected markets to competition (telecoms, finance, dairy, transportation etc) 3. rapidly reduce bureaucratic red tape and slow process across the board, not just for favoured projects or sectors and finally, let’s all remind ourselves that we can just do things. every Canadian can be part of fixing this. we can collectively hustle - aim high Canada can be the richest country in the world, if we choose to be
The Canadian economy edged into a technical recession as weak business and government spending drove a slight contraction in the first quarter bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

With public data, we've built this for Canadians. Every Canadian should know what they're getting in return for their tax dollars. It's currently available for Ontario and Alberta with more provinces coming soon
Curiously, some countries do provide people with their personal breakdowns of where their taxes went. Australian conservatives made it so that when you receive your tax return documents, they show you where each dollar went, like so:

Why Companies Won't Invest in Canada Canada’s economic dynamism depends on company formation and investment but in the last decade every metric in this area has been moving in the wrong direction. In Q2 2025, Statistics Canada recorded a $43.7 billion capital outflow, the largest since 2007. Today, for every dollar foreign investors put into Canada, Canadians send $2.17 abroad. The current federal approach of offering subsidies to individual companies, one deal at a time, to bribe them to set up offices and factories in the country cannot reverse this trend. Instead of chasing companies with cheques or picking winners and losers, Canada must build a business environment that attracts them naturally. The single most powerful lever to resolve this situation is corporate tax reform. Research spanning more than half a century has confirmed repeatedly that corporate taxes are the most harmful tax type for growth and in particular for company formation and investment. It is not a coincidence that Canadian company investments have shrunk since the US made its corporate tax regime more competitive compared to Canada in 2017. Countries from Ireland and Singapore to Estonia have proven this by using a competitive and creative corporate tax regime to attract huge foreign investments and local company formation. If Canada copies that creativity to reform corporate tax to only tax profits taken out of a business rather than profits that are reinvested it could change the environment for company formation and investment overnight.

The secret to great execution? Begin at the end. Remember that velocity is speed with direction. Without a clear destination, your momentum is wasted energy. Always focus on clarity first.

Message from a friend: “Canada has heard rumors about innovation and is determined to will leave no stone unturned in deterring it”
Bad day for Entrepreneurship in Canada 🇨🇦👎. Capital gains tax rate is increasing from a 50% inclusion to 66%. This increases the net capital gains tax rate from 27% to 36%... Compared to the US which has a 20% capital gains tax rate ( major incentives like QSBS) In my conversations with Canadian entrepreneurs, it's clear: They're feeling less motivated to build businesses here when moving just a bit south could mean saving a lot more.

Don't handcuff yourself to a product road map. Nothing will make you more miserable than having to implement ideas that are a year out of date because you "promised".

So much truth in this short clip by @dhh in the latest @reworkpodcast - and to top it off, if someone new joins the company at the product level, what are the chances they follow the existing roadmap? I'd say close to 0%
