Local voice is pretty good try @getducktype

On June 14 I'll be mentoring at the Claude x Nova Buildathon in Bengaluru and I'm really looking forward to it. It’s girls-only and it’s for anyone who wants to push what they can build with Claude in a single day. Developers, founders, AI enthusiasts, first-timers welcome. The only requirement is that you show up. I’ll also be talking about how I landed the Anthropic AI Safety Fellowship in London as the only Indian selected this year and what that path actually looked like. Thank you @pawar Sir for creating spaces like this. Would love to see you all there!!! Girls - register now. The room is yours luma.com/cccl.blr4?tk=EsE7OO

Yes worry about having better quality rather than having more quantity.

once we hit a bit more stability my goal is to have opencode running as a service so when you launch tui, web, desktop it's all just connecting to a same process if you can assume there's an agent always running ready for work a lot of interesting things can be built on top

in my culture we don't say "I love you". we say "I left a comment on your PR that's a prompt you can just send straight to Claude Code"

People get high on abstraction too early. They want the system before they’ve earned the insight. But the good abstractions are never designed. They’re discovered. You do the stupid manual thing enough times and the real bottleneck just emerges. Your initial agency might be driven by a hunch you had in the shower, but that moment won’t get you all the way to making something people want. The right way to make anything is forced on you by reality: what are the real jobs to be done? And what sequence? This is why “do things that don’t scale” still hits, especially now when AI makes it trivially easy to scale things that probably shouldn’t be scaled yet. PG’s point was never about suffering. It was about contact. When you’re the one manually doing the loop, you see the edge cases. The weird user behavior. The failure modes nobody designed for. The hidden dependencies that only show up at 2am when some flow or intermediate step breaks in a way you didn’t anticipate. If you automate before you have that contact, you just scale your misunderstanding faster. When the machines can help you vibe code perfection it gives you a false sense of power. I love that feeling as much as you do. But fuck perfection. Do it live. Be the loop. Feel every friction point. Notice what’s actually true every single time versus what just looked true because you hadn’t seen enough cases yet. Formalize that. Build the recursive version. Then keep checking that your abstraction is still attached to real humans and their needs. Because reality drifts. Your users drift. The ground truth changes under you. You may think you understand but no plan survives contact with the real users and what they want. You find those body blows in analytics and user feedback and we call them the roadmap. Humans left with not enough data hallucinate too. But just like the LLMs with enough data you unlock real transcendence. Real utility. Prosperity for humans in real life. The abstraction is a tool, not a destination. The moment you forget that, you’re cooked.

What I say to anyone who tells me AI, more specifically Claude Code, doesn't do what they expect.
