“I’ve got 5000 agents, doing absolutely nothing” 🤣🤣 So many people came up to me at WeAreDevelopers in San Jose and said they loved Kelsey Hightower’s talk because he called devs out for stuff we’re all doing, but probably shouldn’t be.

This is actually the first time I’ve actually come close to maxing out my @AnthropicAI Claude Code pro plan weekly usage, and even then it’s only 81% and due to renew 🤷‍♂️ When devs complain of hitting limits quickly, surely it’s because of 24/7 agents and not bothering to reduce/limit token usage?

Every time I think I'm actually half-decent at recording videos, I come to edit and realise how poor my English is. I don't have a SINGLE TAKE where I say the T in 'what'. Couldn't be more Bri'ish if I tried, innit* Anyway, hundreds of hours of video from San Jose now on the @WeAreDevs app 👇

Did Claude make a DNA discovery? How quickly can an LLM clone a voice? Did a criminal live stream his crime on insta? @andrewdmaclea did @twilio proud on Fake or News 👏 A new high score, and he avoided @codepo8's technicality traps like a pro 🏆👀 (sorry @TasonJorres @dianasoyster !)

People are out there building billion-dollar companies with AI. …Meanwhile I’m finding Untitled chats I must have started with Claude consisting of ‘and there we go’ and nothing else. We are not the same 🙃

Yesterday, Bebo closed after being launched in 2005 🥹 I'll be honest i didn't even know it was still going, and quite like the idea that there were people still using their profiles from the pre-Myspace days. Enjoy website heaven, Bebo, you will not be forgotten.

Twitter.... is back?! Okay not quite, but somebody has launched a company called Twitter, arguing that X gave up the rights to the name (and even the word "tweet") when they changed their name. Brb i'm off to build MySpace.

It should be criminal to follow/chat to someone online for like 6 years and not meet. I've been following @eddiejaoude since I joined socials, and (somehow) we've never met, even virtually. ...Until now 😏 Weds 11:30 BST (12:30 CEST), I'm FINALLY gonna verify if Eddie is real.

Madness. Sold a TV years ago on Marketplace, ended up giving the guys a lift (with the TV) to their house, because they were students and had travelled on the bus. Turns out they studied the same degree as me, so I gave some advice. 2 years later, they send this.... 🤯

I’ve added ‘quietly’ to the list of words you just can’t use anymore, because AI does. For example: ‘AI has been quietly making communication stale and robotic’ 🙃 Okay, what did I miss?

I just cancelled my ChatGPT plus subscription, and got Claude instead. Everywhere I look, developers say Claude Code is unmatched when it comes to writing code, and while it might not generate images or videos, it's 25% cheaper 😲 Is GPT being left behind? 🤔

Experimenting with making some 'premium' features only available to one-time sponsors of ProfileMe. Thought this would be an interesting way to monetise the project, while giving something cool back to supporters. To test it... I've sponsored myself 🥳
