Anthropic servers heading on a well deserved break. Time to chuck the compute back on training?
Jun 13
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Built a tiny Chrome plugin for reviewing AI-generated PRs.
I’m increasingly getting AI agents to attach screenshots, GIFs, and visual evidence to pull requests, but its hard to view them in GitHub quickly, cant zoom in and opens that media in new tabs.

In March, we shared The BuildPass Method with our whole team.
It is our internal page for how we build, who we hire, and what we expect.
Really, it is about a bigger question: what does it mean to build a company in the age of AI?

We wrote the Method because expectations need a visible home beyond founder conversations and Slack threads.
They should be durable and easy to revisit.
If we say we are building for builders, we need to act like builders ourselves.

Sharing because more companies will need to make their operating model explicit.
AI is changing the leverage of small teams and the pace at which companies can move. The companies that handle it well will rebuild around it with intent.

Built a tiny CLI for Granola meeting notes: granola-cli 🥣
- list/search meetings
- show notes
- fetch transcripts
- export to markdown for Obsidian / review
I’m using it to turn meetings into a searchable knowledge base.

Needed to test my keyboard keys with a new setup… and every top Google result was basically ads. Vibe coded one instead: real-time keyboard visualizer event log. github.com/aaronvanston/kbr-…

Absolutely mind boggling to stop and realise:
1) I barely code anymore, just chat with an AI.
2) It’s not slop. I’m still engineering. I don’t feel threatened. Feels like pair programming.
3) I’m enjoying it more than coding by hand.
Truly wild time to be living through.

Striving for perfection while embracing imperfection has always been the art of building things
But in 2026, some of us may actually achieve _perceived_ perfection
Software that seemingly works as fast as we think it should w/ no bugs
By EOY, software quality will be at an ATH

Over Christmas I noticed something: the pace of what’s possible with AI-assisted building stepped up.

That created a compounding effect. One person’s baseline becomes everyone’s baseline. Momentum (and a bit of “wait, that’s possible now?” FOMO) pulled more builders in.

Result: the ceiling for what one high‑agency person can ship has moved. Not just prototypes. Real end-to-end capability. Implementation is getting cheap. Judgment is getting expensive.

Writing code was never the bottleneck.
Understanding the problem was.
Knowing what to build was.
Having the taste to know when it's right was.
AI just made that obvious.
