My average 3AM session with Claude..😄

The most counterintuitive finding in PM-shipped code: engineers are the ones asking for it. A startup CTO posted: "One of our PMs built and shipped a feature. Not spec'd it. Built it, tested it, shipped it to production. In a day." The engineers on his team loved it. The CTO explained why: when PMs build their own ideas, their specifications get sharper. They understand what the agent needs to execute well. Sharper specs produce better agent output. The PM who has shipped a few PRs writes fundamentally different specs than the PM who hasn't. This is the second-order effect nobody predicted. PMs who've shipped code know what's easy and what's hard. They know what a diff looks like. They stop writing 15-page docs that require a 30-minute meeting to decode and start writing 40-line PLANNING.md files with specific metrics, guardrails, and kill criteria. The third-order effect is that engineering trust compounds. The PM who ships clean, focused, well-described PRs earns more trust than the PM who writes perfect specs. Because the eng team can see you understand their world. You're showing them you respect the process. At Anthropic, Claude Code reviews first and catches ~80% of bugs. Then a human engineer does the second pass. For PM PRs, the human review is the safety net. PM gets the intent right. Engineer makes sure nothing breaks. Jiaona Zhang, CPO at Laurel and Stanford lecturer, says her PMs are going beyond prototyping to production. Her designers push code too. Superhuman uses Codex so PMs can contribute lightweight code changes without pulling in an engineer, except for code review. The irony: the PM who never touches code creates more work for engineers through the translation layer. The PM who ships the small stuff lightens their load while simultaneously earning more trust and writing better specs. The incentives all point the same direction.

Today is a hard day. I shared this note with the @linear team today: We’ve made the difficult decision to increase our workforce. This is not a cost-cutting exercise or a reflection of anyone’s performance. We’re simply reimagining every role for the agentic AI era. We’re hiring. We’re sorry about that.

Anthropic just shipped a security product that does what every engineer has wanted for 20 years: stop sending you 864,603 false alarms a year. The OX Security 2026 benchmark ran the math across 216 million findings at 250 organizations. The average enterprise pulls 865,398 security alerts annually. 795 are real. 91% of SAST findings are false positives. After 15 of their first 20 alerts come back as garbage, engineers stop investigating. A 10-developer team burns 24 hours a week on noise. Real CVEs sit underneath the alarms for months. This is the wound the entire AppSec industry has been bleeding from for two decades, and the valuations show it. Snyk peaked at $8.5B in 2021. BlackRock has it marked at $3.7B. A PE firm offered under $3B this year and got rejected. Synopsys sold its Software Integrity Group for $2.1B last October. Veracode went for $2.5B in 2022. Checkmarx is shopping itself at $2.5B with no taker. Snyk's growth decelerated to 12% last quarter while Palo Alto printed 16% and CrowdStrike printed 21%. Every legacy vendor has been trying to fix this with bolted-on AI for three years. Snyk DeepCode. GitLab Advanced SAST. Datadog Bits AI. IBM watsonx. Each wraps an LLM around the same rules engine that produced the noise. Now read the Anthropic line: "validates each finding to cut false positives, and suggests patches you can review and approve." Anthropic's architecture starts at the model. Everyone else started at the rules engine and tried to bolt context on top. If the validation layer trims 91% noise to something engineers will actually clear, the buyer stops paying for detection. Detection became a commodity years ago. Triage carries the pricing power now. The valuations were already catching up to the constraint. Today accelerated it.

when Claude already wrote like 3k lines of code and I notice an error on my prompt

I ACCIDENTALLY OPENED MY CTO'S PERSONAL NOTION WORKSPACE AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY HE SHIPS 5X FASTER THAN THE REST OF US. He is 48. I am 26. He manages 3 products and never works past 5 PM. I work 10 hours a day and barely clear my Jira board. In his workspace, one specific document explained everything: Most people panic when the workload scales. They work longer hours, burn out, and eventually drop the ball. High performers do not manage time. They manage boundaries. The document was a list of strict operating rules. Here are 18 systems you can steal.

Is this what it felt like to be a horse breeder when the car was invented

everything in the GUI should be available in the API this will be the theme for us for the remainder of the year the UI becomes the preview layer for agentic work if you can click it, you should be able to prompt it

After hearing from developers building with AI agents, we expanded access to our API. Since then, programmatic card creation on our platform has exploded.

It's time for you to think about how an agent can use your app via CLI. In the future, none of us (including our agents) are going to want to log in to a web interface to do anything. Agents will to do everything via CLI + writing their own code.

In a world full of uncertainty, do the things that give you joy: - find bugs - learn new technologies - use AI - help the web3 space to grow

Just realized why I’m so addicted to Claude Code. It’s literally a video game for adults. You get stuck on a level, try everything you can to beat it, and eventually break through. And every level you stack skills and get stronger.

This year’s Sibos conference proved to me that the desire and the demand from financial institutions to integrate blockchain technology is not only real, but here right now. After speaking to many of the largest central banks and private banks, financial market infrastructures, central securities depositories, and more, it’s never been more clear to me that the global financial ecosystem is moving into an onchain format at an accelerating pace. But there are three key challenges financial institutions will face: Connecting their existing systems to blockchains Transacting with tokenized assets across any public or private blockchain Keeping all of those tokens updated with critical data as they move across chains With one seamless and secure integration, CCIP helps solve these problems for capital markets and abstracts away the complexities that have prevented banks from integrating blockchain technology at scale. Only CCIP achieves the full five levels of cross-chain security and decentralization that financial institutions are likely to need for safely managing quadrillions of dollars in asset flow and bringing global markets onchain. Forward-looking institutions and market infrastructures like Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, and ANZ already have a first-mover advantage by demonstrating how CCIP serves as the abstraction layer to connect to any blockchain and modernize transaction fulfillment. I expect that as initiatives such as these eventually reach production, the adoption of onchain finance will only accelerate.
