in truth, computing has removed a lot of inefficient people and their jobs like trading desks with 500 people were reduced to 3 engineers . this is just the next phase.

2026-07-17 20:40:35 UTC

most of society hasn't yet woken up to the 1000x reduction in cost and speed yet, is my guess. if it doesn't scare you just a little bit, I dunno what does.
A product manager, design and engineer is now all expected to be one person, not 3. Yay i was only ahead of the curve by only ~10 yrs :p

2026-07-17 20:36:15 UTC

heard on a podcast peter mccormack spent $8000 in 6 weeks using claude code to cover 3 yrs of work. As a nontechnical user that's not too bad, I presume he was spending orders of magnitude more hiring people to do what he now does on his own. Plus consider the $8000 as "tuition"
For a technical person that is super savvy and knows how to grind the budget down to nothing; I'd bet it'd be do-able in $80 or less in less than half the time, huge leverage

If one is moving 12x faster with one set of agents
and then adds 100 autonomous agents....
that's..........tic tac speed

2026-07-17 19:50:57 UTC

3 mos of work in 5 days translates to
12 mos of work in 20 days (or ~ 1 mo)
that's 12x faster than the avg speed.
its getting a little insane in here.....

The best two are Chrome and Firefox, especially Chrome since it has more features on the screenshare side and on desktop. Right now I can't make any guarantees about Brave, some have said it works others said it doesn't. Your operating system also matters, desktop or mobile, and if you can give highly specific details "on whose mic and on in what situation" exactly, then we can be of better assistance or just tell @npub172y…g6ef when you're in a testing room.

"The point isn't that grants are bad. The point is that comfort can be dangerous when your goal is to build something that changes the world. "

Business insight
INSIGHT #2: GOVERNMENT GRANTS MIGHT BE MAKING YOUR STARTUP WEAKER
Korea's government has invested heavily in its startup ecosystem through non-dilutive grants, and a lot of founders in the room had taken them. Ethan wasn't here to shame anyone for that -- but he was willing to name the downside that most people won't.
"I think that kind of dilutes the desperation that some startups should have."
His argument: desperation, when channeled correctly, is rocket fuel. When a startup has enough runway from a government grant to survive mediocrity, some of them do exactly that. They settle. They don't make the hard pivots. They don't push hard enough on distribution. They optimize for survival instead of breakout.
Eric echoed this with a passage from the book,
Same as Ever
, by Morgan Housel: a tree planted in an open field with all the sunshine and space it needs grows quickly -- but its wood is weak and porous. A tree in a dense forest, competing for light and nutrients, grows slowly -- but its wood is dense, hard, and can last a thousand years.
The point isn't that grants are bad. The point is that comfort can be dangerous when your goal is to build something that changes the world. Real startups run on urgency.

It used to be a 1 person automation could easily eliminate 100s of people, today it really feels like AI easily replacing 1000s in a matter of days or weeks. Feels like the 2027 forecast is still on track... not sure the 2040 plan is within our possibility anymore, but you can read it if you want.

Uh……unless nostrhub has completely changed since last fall, the principle behind it is very meta —- effectively Its decentralizing nostr nips across the nostr network
You use nostrhub or any fork of it to publish custom nips across any set of Relays to promote your custom nip. People can up vote your proposal and last i checked Comment or zap a nip proposal
You can also fork it and use it anyway you want.
