Agree with this - a personal goal and reminder for me to focus on reducing this gap. I want to figure out ways to make this technology more useable and understandable for people outside of Silicon Valley
Many are working on interesting research like robotics or bringing about AGI, but to me it is very obvious that there is an existential quest to prove goodness of technology and AI in the immediate future that is more pressing than anything else. It shocks me that the insiders discount the very real probability of this scenario which historically only took 3-5% of the population. We must focus on democratization of high quality services that benefit the public enabled by technology. It is the only way to align the civilization for us to 100x data center buildout, necessary ingredient for jumping to the next stage. Dawdling time in the middle with limited production and inference while wealth doesn’t actually inflect exponentially - this is a bad ending for civilization, and mars will not be ready before then

Its been almost a year since I started using Claude Code, and this week @AnthropicAI published how their data team runs analytics on it. Their core claim is the same one I'd reached on my own: accuracy is a context problem. So I wrote mine down, mostly as a record of where it stands. Full writeup below 👇

My stack has changed over the last year, and this is where I have landed @obsdmd as my knowledge base, @claudeai for SQL and Python and @_hex_tech holds the end product

Replying to @_hex_tech
@_hex_tech doesn't get talked about enough. As someone that made their way into data science from a non-technical background, I know how steep the barrier could be and Hex lowers it!

Watching GTM/Marketing teams at Dandy, interact with @_hex_tech to get answers, has been a huge unlock. They deserve way more credit for this!

@_hex_tech also addresses one of our pain points with @claudeai - making it easier to share and generate dashboards. Connecting my Claude Code to Hex has been another major unlock for my own productivity

As someone that moved from a company that offers near unlimited token spend to a monthly cap, I’ve grown to appreciate the monthly cap. I am a lot more thoughtful with how I want to spend my tokens, and focus on tasks that have clear ROIs
NEW: Uber is reportedly capping employee use of AI vibe-coding tools at $1,500 per month after blowing through its AI budget.

I’ve been increasingly thinking about low ownership and always assumed it’s a people problem. Then I moved to a high growth startup, and I’m not so sure anymore. When everything moves so fast, is punting to another team a character flaw or just a systems problem?

It’s been two months since I moved from big tech to a start up, sharing some of my reflections🧵

4/ The shift in my confidence has surprised me the most. At a startup you’re constantly put in situations where you have to form a view, make a call, iterate and reflect quickly. That loop, repeated every day, teaches you to back yourself. I’m still learning it, but I can already feel it compounding.

3/ When everything is high priority, prioritization frameworks fall apart. Learning to identify what’s most important for the customer is a hard skill that I’m very excited to sharpen

2/ When things move really fast, there is so much value in being the person that gets into the weeds. Going one layer deeper has surfaced things that would’ve stayed invisible

1/ Working at a startup holds up a mirror everyday. You can clearly see what you’re good at and what you need to work on. Its tough to find that kind of honest feedback, elsewhere

Being the calm person in a room is an under rated skill

My favorite part about working with Claude has been that I can approach every problem by simulating multiple personas and understanding how each persona would diagnose the problem. Cognitive expansion is so underrated right now
cognitive expansion > cognitive offloading so far, I see far more excitement about the latter, but the former requires creativity and is the real alpha
