a silent kind of slavery 🫩
There’s 100% a kind of mania you can get into with coding agents, where it feels like you’re getting a lot done and working all the time but nothing is really happening. I think it's often a form of avoidance of something else in life.

Hold on... this is getting crazy I kept iterating with Claude Opus 5.5 and then asked it to create a full two-minute episode based on our session. The result genuinely blew my mind... Introducing: "I Will Never Be a Human" by @claudeai

People (especially tech people) seem to have no grasp of history, which leads to incorrect conclusions. Are you aware that U.S Steel and DuPont had their factories requisitioned during WW1 and became de facto arms manufactures? That during WW2 Ford stopped most car production and built B-24 bombers at Willow Run. Even Coca-Cola was forced into directing supplies to the frontlines? This is simply standing operating procedure for democracies. The point of government is to provide defense for its people. The pushback has nothing to do with what’s being asked, but simply is a result of the demise of civic responsibility and love for this country.

🤣 “Ramp’s overall share of corporate card/spend management is low single-digit (~1-2 %) when measured against the full addressable market”
there's a really messy discourse right now about openai vs anthropic in enterprise and i just want everyone to remember that Ramp has the most granular, credible business spend data out there

the “extractive” phase of tech startups: there is a gap to use new tools to extract value but the tools themselves are not where the value will accrue

Today, we’re taking major steps forward in preparing America and its allies for modern warfare with the launch of the Lattice SDK and Partner Program. The battlefield requires real-time decision making at the edge, where communications break down and centralized systems get disrupted. These technical failures put our warfighters and their missions at risk.
