Since its almost Defcon/BlackHat season,
I'd like to kindly remind you that software is both an offensive and defensive sport.
Don't assume you can just vibe code and toss it out there; tomorrow the bots will break it if you're not keeping up with the bot-joneses 😁

Gonna push new release today, tomorrow and likely next week.
Clocked in about 40 hrs of dev last week.
lets see how far she can fly.

2026-07-21 21:05:27 CEST

is it like murphy's law when ever I'm trying to fix something on hive there's always a crowd hanging out? 😂
Anyway, trying to release the latest, whenever every leaves I will reboot and push the latest

Tasks once requiring a dedicated startup can now be managed by simple automated systems, such as a Markdown file running on a cron job

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 22:40:35 CEST

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 22:36:15 CEST

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

2026-07-17 21:53:00 CEST

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 21:50:57 CEST

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.

Lets see how many releases we can pull off before the end of summer 😂

2026-07-16 19:49:02 CEST

And special congrats to @npub172y…g6ef for making her first few pull requests to the hivetalk team. I'm really proud of her! Going from zero to code and merge!

2026-07-16 19:48:23 CEST

Every week, we're going to do a new @npub1z0l…8ldk release.
Gonna try a little experiment here for a few weeks.
@npub172y…g6ef will be running a testing room at the end of every week so feel free to hop in if you want to try the latest features and please give Feedback!!!!!!!

2026-07-16 15:13:00 CEST

GM, 100 agents on the wall, take one down, pass'm around, 99 agents on the wall....

2026-07-15 22:32:30 CEST

I feel more sane and calmer when I'm not looking at social media everyday but sometimes I'll just post my thoughts randomly and occasionally from a no-feed client, and come back later to view comments. Does anyone else do this?

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.

Much harder than the technical part, and increasingly so as technical stuff just gets automated away by AI, imho.
