Had a great time at Lenny and Friends Summit! I moderated two roundtables on how to AI-pill your organization, and the conversations were so good. We’re all experimenting and learning together. Sharing what failed is just as important as sharing what worked.

Let’s chip in and get GitHub a single Claude sub so a dev can stop using Copilot and actually fix Actions.

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

I had no background in evals. I built two very different evaluation systems for two AI-powered developer tools, and they taught me the same lesson: trust isn't a feeling, it's a measurement.

AI’s value lives at the intersection of copy and paste. Nothing feels more like magic than when it works without you as the go-between.
