The first fundamental truth is that FDE is not a role, it is a product strategy. It has to originate from the fount of the product org. You judge an FDE org by the fruits they bear! What new product was discovered, what Thielan secrets were mined and refined into weapons grade product? (but hey, what do I know about FDE šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø)

Today, we closed our latest funding round with $122 billion in committed capital at an $852B post-money valuation. The fastest way to expand AI’s benefits is to put useful intelligence in people’s hands early and let access compound globally. This funding gives us resources to lead at scale. openai.com/index/acceleratin…

.@travisk says AI will make human labor even more valuable and in-demand than ever before: "Let's say the entire world - everything in our world - was automated, except for plumbers. You had machines making buildings - you would basically have like a thousand buildings a day." "How valuable would those plumbers be?" "Each and every plumber would be like LeBron. Why? Because plumbing would be the long pole in the tent to progress. You can't get those thousand buildings unless you have a plumber." "And by the way, you'd get so much efficiency everywhere else that you'd need millions of plumbers." "Humans [are going to] become more and more valuable because they will be the long pole in the tent to progress - and that progress is going to accelerate and get faster and more robust."

Follow Jacob. He is at the cutting edge. Not luck. Skill.
I've made $4.7M with AI. Today, I recorded myself building an entire @openclaw business in an hour. You'll learn how to: • Find a winning niche using AI • Build an offer people actually want to pay for • To get your first clients • To use AI to productize and fulfill the entire service • The exact prompts I use to orchestrate all of it After building the #1 Lovable agency. This is the entire playbook behind AI native businesses. The full video is live on YouTube. Comment "Playbook" and I'll DM you the link.

Agile/Scrum is no longer relevant. It was made for people pre-AI.

GPT-5.4 is launching, available now in the API and Codex and rolling out over the course of the day in ChatGPT. It's much better at knowledge work and web search, and it has native computer use capabilities. You can steer it mid-response, and it supports 1m tokens of context.

Software factories professionalize your development efforts. Scrum, for example, was better than no methodology, but compared to running a factory, it is very amateurish. AI is making things more professional.

Don't underestimate @chamath and @8090_Factory. He didn't get lucky with the idea. He is perfectly positioned to find the winning recipe. 1. Ads were the primary use case for AI. His pedigree is Meta. 2. Chamath invested in Slack. He understands how to make stuff multiplayer. 3. He is very well connected. "The machine that makes the machine" is what Elon told him about AI. He connected all these ideas.

Software Factory is the horizontal, general, universal technology breakthrough. Finally, I understand why Cursor is worth so much money. Coding is creative problem solving. Most knowledge work is too. 8090 is the team player version of this

Software at scale is about teams working together. That’s why I am excited about software factories. Yes, every great coder is amazed that you can do more now. But soon you want to do even more. So you hire a team. And then you need to coordinate people. Genius doesn’t scale. Assembly lines do. Factories do.

Imagine that the concept of a software factory is adaptable to other business functions šŸ¤” Trying some experiments. Results soon.

Max 3 months. Fast takeoff achieved. Try to make it to 1 billion tokens/day by the end of the quarter and you will be fine.
