a great cold email can change your life my last 3 jobs came from cold email here's how:

theres never been a better time in history to create

Honestly tweet us the bugs we will fix them.

if you're young and want to break into ai, you MUST wrap your head around this "Steve Yegge says people using AI coding agents are "10x to 100x as productive as engineers using Cursor and chat today, and roughly 1000x as productive as Googlers were back in 2005.""

this is such a big deal and no ones talking about it

if you want to be a high performer, this is the most important thing you'll read all year read it, bookmark it, internalize it, read it again

best article ive read on jev yet. straightforward and easy to read give @tibor_tee a follow if you dont want to get left behind by ai

When a nerd tells me they don't use agents "because I can write better code than any agent", I usually go "huh, sure buddy, you do you". When they tell they don't use agents for monitoring, I just laugh in their face. Seriously. You can't monitor a production deploy better than an agent can. I dunno about AGI but this specific job is something that an LLM can already do better than every single human in the world. For me, as a systems engineer, having agents monitor my infra changes has been (no joke) more impactful in my day-to-day work than having agents write my code. I started doing this many months ago by asking the agent to monitor explicitly after I triggered a deploy; soon after I moved to using a set of my own Skills. Now our Review Agents team has fully automated this workflow with delightful UX and obviously I'm not going back. It's hard to overstate how powerful this is. All it takes, for me, in production: - The Datadog MCP - The PlanetScale MCP (for all our databases) - Our custom MCP for deploys and internal tooling That's it. Some carefully designed gradual deploy pipelines, and the agent just takes care of everything from there. You can't really deploy SEVs to production anymore. Doing infra like this is pure joy. And the safety is just a tiny part of it. The Rollout agent also does the actually hard part of my job, which is _performance_. When the changes you're deploying are a performance optimization, the agent prepares a monitoring plan that ensures the optimization is correct AND effective. I rarely prompt benchmarks for my optimizations anymore. Just fucking go to prod and the agent is gonna give me the best possible benchmark. If you work on systems or infra for a living, you should be setting up your production environments so you can use Rollouts. Not doing so is actually reckless.

We're launching a Grok Bot community for GTM, and have early heavy hitters like @poyark, @brendanjshort, @ENowoslawski @majavoje, and @anzevoje. You can learn more and join here: x.ai/bot/community

there are 100 days left in 2026 what are you going to get done

open-sourced the best skill for finding a job! instead of showing you how it works, here’s what it did for a real person: a software engineer with 6 years at Google was looking for his next opportunity he’d rebuilt the Google Shopping checkout, cutting load time from 4.1s to 1.3s and increasing completed checkouts by 6% we gave the skill his background it went through ~40 real companies looking for places where that exact experience could be worth serious money 30 minutes later, it found a collectibles marketplace doing $2B in annualized volume their checkout takes 1.8s to respond to a tap one of their competitors does it in 0.24s even a 1% improvement on $2B is $20M a year so instead of sending: “hey, saw you’re hiring” he can message the CEO with: “your checkout could be leaving ~$20M a year on the table. I’ve fixed this exact problem before” the skill found the company, spotted the problem, estimated what it could be worth, and wrote the message for him and here’s the best part: half the companies it found weren’t even publicly hiring you can run the exact same process on your own background send this to Claude Code, Codex, or any other agent with terminal access: run npx skills add paulklayvc/skills --skill high-leverage-job-hunt and set it up for this agent

If you care about why AI isn't working in schools and most workplaces, please read this. I put it as simply as I possibly could. (PS, this takes 120 seconds to read)

go give grok 4.7 a whirl! twice as fast, half the price of frontier models best deal in all of ai rn

Grok 4.7 is here. It's a notable improvement over Grok 4.6 at the same price and speed.

if youre young, the most important skill you can learn today is taste theres never been an easier time to create, which means theres never been a more important time to have an opinion "now that anyone can make anything, your specific, written, defended point of view is the one thing nobody can copy... your competitors can't steal rules they've never seen"

Today is the 10 year anniversary of Founders. It’s my life’s work. Thank you for listening.

im begging you to read this: "Here’s the pattern that runs the world: Good times create weak people. Weak people create bad times. Bad times create strong people. Strong people create good times."
