Reading up on productivity

incredible algo update my timeline is full of makers building stuff I LOVE THAT AND I LOVE YOU ALL ❤️

@tibo_maker

All you guys almost unanimously recommended @SMB_Attorney when I asked for a startup lawyer ~6 months ago A really really cool guy to work with, very funny, informal, nice and fast He's also very pro-AI which I like so I'd check documents first with Claude quickly, let it write up some notes and send to him and then he'd review that speeding both of us up If you have some legal stuff you need I can recommend him 😊

@levelsio

A ChatGPT automation just found ~$45K in erroneous invoices across 3 years of billing history that I've confirmed and already had resolved. My lifetime history for ChatGPT is ~$1,800, so it just paid for itself 25x over. I setup an automation with read-only access to my email, and tasked this one specifically with analyzing construction invoices. It has access to prior construction invoices, emails, meeting notes, etc. It produces a report and emails it to me (the only email its allowed to send, enforced by API token) whenever I receive a construction invoice. Across 3 years of construction projects, it found about $45K in issues. Some were wrong amounts, some were duplicate invoices, some were invoices addressed to the wrong person. I manually verified, emailed my GCs, and got refunded/credited. I get multiple construction bills each month and each bill is ~50 pages in a PDF of low-quality scanned paper. I do manually review each bill but its pretty hard to be right all the time. I do believe these were genuine mistakes and not done out of ill will just based on what the mistakes were. I don't want to share my full construction costs across the past few years, but $45K is a very small percentage of overall billed amounts. Pretty sweet.

@mitchellh

I built a software factory that actually works. Here's what I learned.

@piersonmarks

http://knockoff.co is at around 75,000 daily active users! 🤯 a *browser extension*. absolutely bonkers.

@Shpigford

i've got multiple repos (a frontend and a backend) and I want claude to work across both of them at the same time. but i also want to use worktrees so i can work on multiple things at the same time. ...how? typically i'd go monorepo but one repo is OSS and one is not.

@Shpigford

TL;DR of my new article: I ran last30days on the 10 biggest trending GitHub repos of the month so you don't have to. 🎬 OpenMontage (+31.6K) - your coding agent makes a whole video from one prompt, free and local. By @calesthioailabs 🧠 codebase-memory-mcp (+26K) - indexes your repo into a graph so agents stop re-reading every file. One measured query: 80K tokens down to ~500.

@mvanhorn

i keep a running doc called “things i’m not doing anymore” and look at it monthly really simple way to live a happier & more productive life

@gregisenberg

great time to run “/impeccable live” on it! if you use impeccable and have never tried it, i encourage you to give it a try. will post video soon

@pbakaus

I still think about this a lot

A quick tour of the new ChatGPT Work.

@ChatGPTapp

I'm pretty bad at a lot of things but one thing I've (accidentally or not) have been pretty good at is being early at trends A lot of these trends are in my head in some way and I wanted to visualize those on a chart. So I built another dynamic blog post (on my new vibecoded blog platform that lets me do these kinds of pages) with this chart above. The first disclaimer of course is this is completely subjective and essentially a chart based brain dump. And the second disclaimer is I don't think I'm right, it's just my own beliefs visualized! I'll keep updating the chart You can select different trends on the legend or by clicking on a line, and you can also go fullscreen! Also you can select [x] indexed view which is pretty cool too :D Let me know what I should add or change!

@levelsio

Introducing ChatGPT Work, a new agent in ChatGPT powered by Codex and GPT-5.6. It can take action across your apps and files, stay with a project for hours if needed, and turn a goal into finished work. It’s a whole new way to get work done.

@OpenAI

Fun (and functional!) new BC5 feature we just added to Card Tables today. We're calling it Wormholes. Here's how it works in a quick, casual 90 sec video.

@jasonfried

Introducing a new way to reflect on how you use Claude. Your monthly recap shows when you use Claude most and what you spent that time working on, with options to set quiet hours and nudges to take breaks. Find your dashboard in Settings under Reflect: http://claude.ai/settings/reflect

@claudeai

I built a skill to let my Claude Code build premium landing pages like this in one shot. The 3 sites in the video are one-shot results, ~$10-15 each. Register @higgsfield_ai , install the CLI and scroll-world skill, hand the rest to Claude Code.

@christinexzhu

I do an exercise called “fear-setting” at least once a quarter, often once a month. It is the most powerful exercise I do. Fear-setting has produced my biggest business and personal successes, as well as repeatedly helped me to avoid catastrophic mistakes.

@tferriss

If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.

@paulg

Smol tip: /𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚔 is perfect for mid-task side quests. It spawns a subagent that inherits the whole conversation, runs in the background while you keep working on your main quest, and comes back with an update.

@delba_oliveira

I can finally talk about 5.6. I’ve been testing it for months and, without exaggeration, it’s the best model I’ve ever used. Fast, smart, genuinely creative, and you guessed it, they finally fixed front-end design. I haven’t needed to check the code I’ve written in two months.

@skirano

I had early access to 5.6/Sol for ~month. Sol is my default. It is faster, plans/judges just as good as Fable, and I think produces better overall work. I’ll reach for Fable still for highly targeted debug or performance work with clear reward functions. A cheeky way I describe Sol vs Fable to my friends is that Sol is a charismatic, efficient, talented coworker you’re jealous of. Fable is a genius recluse that is brilliant at its fixations but doesn’t go out, doesn’t date, and you don’t want to hang out with them much lol. Fable is undefeated at highly targeted debug/security/performance goals. It’s a sight to behold and I was never able to get Sol to push as hard in this category. I’ll keep using it for this. Sol is better or comparable at everything else, in my experience. Give it a shot, it’s hard to describe but it’s just more enjoyable to work with. (Disclaimer I have no financial ties to either lab, wasn’t paid for any of this.)

@mitchellh

Big day! Claude Cowork is coming to web and mobile, so Claude can keep working while your computer is closed. This is a major update to Cowork. It combines the power of giving Claude access to your context, an advanced loop for long-running tasks, and the convenience of not needing your laptop to be open.

@felixrieseberg

I often work in multiple machines at the same time and started to mix up the screen shares, so built nameplate to make things very obvious. https://nameplate.sh

@steipete

Dumb question: I’ve been running most of my cron jobs locally on my Mac Mini because it’s already authenticated with Google Workspace and the other apps I use. But should I run these jobs in the cloud instead with these apps OAuth’d to my Claude or ChatGPT account? How should I think about what jobs should stay local vs. move to the cloud?

@petergyang

Building a Moat: Self Learning Agents

@ataiiam

Scheduled tasks now run even with your computer off. Set client prep for 6am, and Claude works through the threads and transcripts, builds the brief, and leaves the follow-up drafted but unsent. When a decision needs your judgment, the question comes to your phone.

@claudeai

🍌 Got so lazy to order stuff on UberEats that I asked Claude Code to do it Very easy, it just installs Playwright and then you login once to UberEats on web (the iOS app is also just a web wrapper, nice) Then you can just say "order bananas" and it does it!

@levelsio

Claude Cowork is coming to mobile and web. Hand Claude a task at your desk and pick up the finished work from your phone. Close the laptop and Claude keeps going. Beta is rolling out over the next several weeks starting with the Max plan, with more plans to follow.

@claudeai

built a little chrome extension that lets you dim (or hide!) all the crap, mass-produced, fake brands on amazon. should i release it?

@Shpigford

Mind boggling to me that I can make a thing faster and there's always people that ask "but why?" What kind of mentality is that? The pursuit of excellence does not need justification. Also, I find in so many cases, we can't know the impact of an improvement until we do it. For example, one I've talked about before: Ghostty's high IO throughput has enabled terminal program (emulator and TUI) fuzzing at a speed thats incomparably fast to prior solutions. This has resulted in upstream patches to resolve issues in popular projects like btop, tmux, and more. Speed enabled that anecdotally example that lifted the tides of adjacent communities that don't rely on Ghostty technology at all. I didn't predict this. Make things better because they can be better and let the results naturally play out.

@mitchellh

Headroom -- a lightweight native Mac OS menu bar app for tracking your usage. Shipping tonight/tomorrow so that you can keep eyes on your Fable-filled week ahead. Works for both your subscriptions and API spends. Codex and Claude for now. Free dollars. Fully signed install package will be downloadable from my website. Stay tuned

@kylezantos

on this note, i built a PersonalOS by exporting all data from every app i've ever used main purpose was building a 300k tok context pack about my life. embedded all iMessage/Apple Notes/Docs/etc, summarized, retrieved across. having models read every text you've ever sent is a very effective way to teach them about who you are also cool to see every Uber, flight, or photo i've ever taken

What The New 100x Agentic Engineer Looks Like In The Era Of Fable & GPT 5.6

@systematicls

Asked Claude to design my logo. The result looked like it cost $500,000. It cost $0. The 7 prompts I used (steal these): Save for later🔖

@ElsaSofia__AI

A developer just killed the real estate walkthrough industry by scanned an entire house with his phone. Uploaded it. Now anyone on Earth can walk through it in a browser tab. No app. No VR. No agent. No appointment. Click → you’re inside. Every room. Every angle. Every shadow. Photoreal. The economics are brutal for the old model: → Agent fee on a $500k home: $15,000 → Cost to produce this scan: roughly $200 → Time to "tour" 50 houses: one evening → File size: smaller than a TikTok clip The science is wild too: It runs on 3D Gaussian Splatting instead of polygons. Millions of tiny glowing splats of color and depth reconstruct the scene from your photos, and it loads photoreal on a phone. Freelancers are already charging $300 to $800 per scan for realtors, Airbnbs, venues, and dealerships. One person + one phone + one weekend = a business. Open source. Built on PlayCanvas. Free GitHub:

@bloggersarvesh

Voice-to-text is getting so good. I worry future generations won't even type—at least not well. Also, what do a Mesopotamian clay tablet and voice-to-text have in common? Honestly, I’m still not totally sure. But somehow, it’s in this video.

@JoannaStern

After almost every single task, you can ask Codex/Claude: "anything else to cleanup/simplify?" and there will be something to cleanup/simplify. I do this all the time.

@linuz90

one of my favorite uses of @claudeai design is, after creating a design system, generate an "avatar sheet" of dozens of variations on the brand that i can easily download and make use of everywhere. super handy.

@Shpigford

How did I ever function without AI? cc chefcook @theo

@steipete

Why Claude keeps telling me to connect MCP to Google Drive etc?

@levelsio

Fable is pure magic. I wanted a beautiful app to explore ocean wildlife. Fable built this in an hour. It generated videos with Seedance and carefully synchronized them to make these absolutely insane transitions. I've never seen anything like this in an app. Unreal.

@brit

Hot take: I think it's still important to understand the code that our agents write! In this mega thread (based on my AIE talk today), I will explain why that's the case, and show some ideas for how to efficiently understand code. Alright, let's dive in. 1/

Tips, tricks, and hacks are an industry, they aren't an answer. Busy is a symptom, not a solution. Want more open space and time? Have less to do. There's no way around it. And I highly recommend it!

@jasonfried

Sonnet 5 is here. It's worse than Opus 4.8 on nearly every benchmark... Does that mean it's useless? Absolutely not. Use it with Claude Code Dynamic Workflows! 1. /model set to Sonnet 5 2. /effort set to Ultracode 3. Any complex task will kick off a dynamic workflow This will only become more powerful when Fable is back. You'll use Fable 5 as the superintelligent advisor and Sonnet 5 as the fast and efficient implementer.

@daniel_mac8

I'm bullish on open source AI. Was paying $15/month for a popular AI voice to text tool. But switched to an open source one where you download the model to your computer, and everything is done locally. It's better, faster, more private, and it's free! I wonder what other subscriptions I can get rid of?

@thepatwalls

I'm building an app to make $10,000/Month and I'll record everything... I want to document my WHOLE journey building an app, marketing it, and making money off of it. Is it really that easy? How hard is it? I've been seeing so many X users online talking about how easy it is to make money online with AI now. I want to test it and show people the reality of making a business online.

@jomatech

It's 2026. If your screen recordings don't look like this... Straight to the permanent underclass.

@DerekFeehrer

Boris sat down with Spotify VP of Engineering Niklas Gustavsson. Spotify ships 4,500 production deploys a day, and 73% of PRs are now AI-assisted.

@ClaudeDevs

Every time you think you need a dashboard to look at data, stop yourself. Do this instead: 1. Ask your agent to make sure that you have all the data to analyze something actually stored in the database. 2. Ask your agent to write a skill to gather that data. 3. Ask your agent to do the analysis and create a temp and throw-away HTML dashboard to answer the question(s) that you have In my experience, every dashboard that I've created gets less and less use over time and decays. It's much better to make sure your agent can get the data you need and answer the questions you have, on-demand.

@ryancarson

new fav product alert!! if you're also planning a last min july 4 trip like me, @OdessiaTravel is 100x better than just using an LLM. will share how I used it in thread but TLDR: > feels like a friend suggesting activities I'd actually do, not SEO-slop > opinionated & makes decisions (e.g. where to stay) – not an endless brainstorm > searches hundreds of flights, airbnbs & activities in seconds and books them within minutes it's made by the founder of @SonderStays which is probably how it has such good travel taste next stop: Kauai, Hawaii!!
