In the Stormlight Archives, there is a character (a king) who magically wakes up each day with a random intelligence level. His caretakers test him in the morning to determine whether he’s capable of leading his country that day or is basically just given crayons.
Heads up: @claudeai is an idiot this morning.

"ah, that was written during the Great Regression, we don't talk about it"
Over the past month, some of you reported Claude Code's quality had slipped. We investigated, and published a post-mortem on the three issues we found. All are fixed in v2.1.116 and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.

ok - dropping big dates/news for a16z speedrun: - starting TODAY, founders can apply for the 2026 program that runs July 27 to Oct 11 in SF here's the link: speedrun007.a16z.com/ac - we will be investing up to $1M and funding 70 companies over the next few weeks - But there's also $5M in credits/tokens/etc from AWS/GCP/Open AI/Azure/NVIDIA/Deel/Stripe/etc. You'll also work with our amazing operating team (GTM, talent, brand, people, and more), and join our community of elite founders - we offer a Global Founders Program for international founders, to help with visas, banking support, relo recommendations - yes you can be solo (but better if you're further along, and have built a team). No you don't have to have an idea yet. Yes you have to know how to build (even if you're not technical) - Also, in other news: speedun is officially moving full-time to SF. (prev it alternated SF/LA) this is for all the obv reasons - we've continued to have an insane lineup of speakers, including the founders of Carta / DoorDash / Twilio / Figma / Zynga / Airtable / Twitch / and of course, lunch/dinners with Marc/Ben alongside a16z team - and much more - the deadline for applying is May 17!

sometimes taking the effort to solve real differentiated need even if it’s harder and less measurable pays off. we never chased raw time spent. always been about how do we bring people together into the same room.
compared to Snap, it’s remarkable how much more durable Discord has remained as a business in the face of extraordinary macro shifts community > content

so the architect has to either be a masochist or will end up killing themself
new model for engineering team structure in 2026: 2 people only one pirate and one architect the pirate's job is to move as fast as possible to develop valuable, shipped product features by vibe coding. the architect's job is to turn the product surface discovered by the pirate into a reliable, structured machine—also by vibe coding, but at a slower, more well-reasoned pace. every product needs a pirate but most product's only need an architect once they some form of PMF, and in that case they usually don't need one full-time. architects can work across many codebases and solve interesting technical challenges. pirates go hard on a product that they own end-to-end.

You're not depressed, you just lost your quest.
The problem is that you don't know what you want to do, and figuring out what you want to do requires learning, experimentation, and effort - so you do nothing.

New in Claude Code: Remote Control. Kick off a task in your terminal and pick it up from your phone while you take a walk or join a meeting. Claude keeps running on your machine, and you can control the session from the Claude app or claude.ai/code

In the future you will walk into a coffee shop and use an app to bet $6.50 that no one will make you a cortado in the next four minutes
