Scrum made sense at companies/teams that shipped a new version of their product every 2-3 months (or less frequent) As soon as a team got to shipping daily or had CD: they only held teams back Most startups + Big Tech moved on a decade+ ago, legacy companies remained only Quoting @forgebitz it's funny how scrum masters completely disappeared and no one really cared startups Related

I don't think how Vibe Coding changes things for marketers gets talked about enough. So much of marketing used to be rationed, begging for engineering resources to get things done. Now you can hop in your IDE and ask your LLM to make the changes and see them done within the same hour. I run the @QAwithIto blog and have: - Designed & shipped my own custom floating social share buttons just how I want them - Fixed a bug with our custom HackerNews share button so it turns into an upvote button after someone submits the post - Added custom URLs and image widths to post images as new fields in San… LLMs Related
Machine-learning researcher on open language models; writes the Interconnects newsletter and the RLHF Book, after leading post-training at Ai2.
With the latest external hack of OpenAI via Claude, closed models continue to be the tip of the iceberg on AI risks, not open models. They have been 1) much easier to get started with, 2) more capable & 3) shipped with leaky safeguards. Finetuning open models to specific attacks is harder. Anthropic OpenAI Related

the last 20% to get a product shipped and successful is as difficult as ever this is where 99% of programmers have always fallen off the first 80% is a lot easier and so we're seeing more abandoned projects than ever Related

Creator of Claude Code at Anthropic.
Claude Code showed that AI could do real work, not just answer questions. Developers hand Claude a feature, come back to shipped code. That's where much of the industry's serious engineering runs now. Cowork proved knowledge workers could do the same: hand Claude the brief, come back to finished files. Today, chat and Cowork start merging into one Claude. The direction: one Claude that carries context across everything you're working on, wherever you are. Simple enough for everyone to access Claude's full capabilities. I've been using this experience every day for the last few weeks, and it f… Quoting @claudeai Claude Cowork and chat are merging into one Claude. Ask a quick question or hand over a report, and Claude takes it from there, even after you close your laptop. If something's unclear, Claude asks—you keep the final say. Rolling out to Pro and Max over the next few weeks. Anthropic Related

Their words
I should be able to pull you aside at any moment and ask you to explain any customer-facing system you've shipped. You should be able to clearly explain how it works and defend the decisions you made.

Author of Shape Up; formerly head of strategy at Basecamp, where he worked on product design for seventeen years; now runs Felt Presence.
One of the projects I'm most proud of at Basecamp is one I didn't even build myself ... it was the strategic work behind the feature that shipped as "card table." It's really cool to see it getting so much use via AI automation now. Related

CloudBees surveyed 200+ enterprise technology leaders this year. 92% said they were confident their AI-generated code was production-ready before it shipped. Then after it shipped, 81% of those same people reported a rise in production issues. Confidence in AI output is now a measurable risk factor. A board can put the 92% "confidence in AI generated code" against the 81% "production issue rate" and really understand what is going on. Is it a bunch of unregulated tokenmaxxing? Or is there a plan and is it working? The report itself says that the bottleneck has moved from writing code to gover… bit.ly

Just shipped a new feature called Spotlights that makes it easy to bring stuff that's deep inside a project right to the surface. Important PDFs people access frequently, key dates or events that are coming up, a specific task, an announcement, whatever. Here's how it works. Related

Really feels like the Cursor team saw the future when they first shipped the agents UI that everyone complained about. Think we're going to see them recapture a lot of mindshare over the next few months. Related

Startup employees and investors don't nearly pay enough attention to QSBS. Would have saved me millions of dollars at GitHub (ugh). QSBS got much more complicated, too, so I just shipped the most comprehensive QSBS calculator out there. Give it a shot: signed.com

for us design actually has always operated as like a bottleneck at the company, which is incredibly important, right? It's intentional that things need to be approved by design to ship.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
