The phrase LLMs say to me most:
“You’re absolutely right.”

Of course, I am.

Nothing like being flattered by a statistically confident yes man trained on the entire internet. #sycophantic #LLM #devlife #snark
Vibe coding is wild. Some days I’m a 10x dev riding the high of pure flow, other days I’m just babysitting AI that hallucinates package names. 😅 #devlife #coding
If WebSearch and WebFetch are turned on in Claude Code, it can clone any website or call any API you want it to.
Here's the result when I asked it to `create an instagram clone`. #anthropic #claude-code
Coding with agents will quickly show you where your product thinking is half-baked. The agent will do something “wrong,” and you realize you never actually told it what “right” was. Maybe because you hadn’t fully figured it out yourself. #codingwithagents #copilot
1️⃣ Pick a platform — Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Carta, DocSend. For more advanced needs, look at iDeals or FirmRoom.
2️⃣ Organize it — include financials (P&L, tax returns), legal docs (incorporation, contracts, NDAs),
3️⃣ Manage access — only share what you need, and revoke if the convo doesn’t move forward.
4️⃣ Keep it updated — don’t let it collect dust after one round. A good data room grows with your company.
If you’re raising serious money for your startup, you’ll need a data room. Think of it as a neatly organized folder that gives investors easy access to everything they need.

Investors love clarity. A strong data room = less back and forth, more trust.

🔑 Steps to set one up:
Efficiency is not a good strategy, especially in early-stage startups. Staying too small makes a startup fragile and vulnerable.
People often ask about my AI stack. Currently, I'm using:
1. Gemini for everyday tasks and research
2. Claude for coding
3. Perplexity for search
4. Manus for creating training materials, curriculum
5. Runway for video generation
6. Gamma for slides
7. ElevenLabs for voice experiments

Hey fam 👋

In a new blog post, I wrote about my journey from zero to RAG engineer after 1200 hours building enterprise AI.
What actually works vs. what's just hype. Hard-learned lessons so you don't repeat my mistakes 👇

I’m a big fan of Denny Zhou. Where others use complex terms and jargon, he explains in a way that is accessible to many. youtu.be/ebnX5Ur1hBk

Claude 4 is not a version upgrade. It’s a new category! #claude #anthropic
This paper is a little old 😅 but its methodology is still relevant for assessing AI's labor market impact. A must-read for understanding how LLMs intersect with the workforce. arxiv.org/pdf/2303.10130

Innovation lives at the edge of the known, not in the center.
The more people prompt, the more everyone converges to the same ideas, quality, and tone. If your AI strategy is to get good at prompting, you're regressing towards the mean. #templated-thinking #clones #AI
