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.
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

Opencode. Food for

GM, future forward thinkers!
Incredible overtime on World cup final!

@Hivetalk !!
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
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
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.....
Physical assets are going to be key for sovereign wealth in this decade
GM, my AI brings all the boys to the yard, damn right, better than yours, I'd teach but then I'll have to charge, nah nah na nah nah.... 😂
i'm trying brain.fm this week. not sure if it really works but worth a try

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.
