Litmus test for any SaaS should be simple - are we reducing friction between what user wants and result. A lot of existing solutions can improve their capabilities with AI by 10% but there are AI native solutions which can totally wipe out these companies by 10x

AI market is so weird right now! Normies: "I use ChatGPT, what would be next thing to test?" and there is a gap. No easy go to solutions and they have Chat muscle memory so everything is "complicated" Prosumers: "I can make this myself with n8n, Claude code, Codex". They hack

"We might have already seen peak developer!". My biggest take away from youtu.be/JiWgKRgdgpI?si… by DHH

Ok, Pi people, which gpt model

Ok, now that Claude has removed itself from Pi, I might actually go for Codex. Went back to Claude code and that thing is slow. Not in speed but in ability to "get it". Pi with the same model just gets it. It seems that CC just overthinks

It's just weird that AI labs - supposed to be very smart people - do this chart abuse. OpenAi also does it.

I'm actually have been building product with Anthropic models as a default option but this is getting very sketchy.

Andreas is doing things differently. Love it

Damn, Codex is so curious about things and want to lurk in every damn file.

We become what we consume. The problem with X is that it shuffles users across communities and we end up in weird echo chambers. But is there a interest for alternative? I have an idea.

Using Pi with Codex and Claude code in parallel. Pi is so much snappier. It was also the case with when using Pi with Claude models.

Look ma', I asked my clanker to code an implementation with Andrej Karpathy tweet as a spec :) Read more ... joking, there is no repo or anything. Just reflecting on trend.

"Value added resellers". Exactly!

100$ plan on Codex and 100$ plan on Claude code are two very different plans based on pure volume of work one can do.

Claude Code is conceptual, big system thinker. Unleashes sub agents to go around, collect and connect. Codex is divide, conquer, ship it one by one. Always suggesting PR plan, always eager to submit follow-up issues.

Curse of AI! It's so easy to start anything. Friction is gone. Just start. And start yet another one. And another one. Skimming on the surface.

It's your responsibility as a parent to create the bookshelf you wish you'd grown up with.
