Excellent chat about models vs harnesses with @nprofile…e8hx on the @nprofile…8u4a this week.
We got into agent orchestration, context management, reasoning models, open source local models, inference economics, and the business strategies of OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and the Chinese labs.
Check it out. Another banger episode with @nprofile…e8hx

@nprofile…r3z3 and I sat down with the one and only @nprofile…439v on The @nprofile…8u4a to chat about how AI is upending the billable hour in professional services.
Got into some awesome territory and covered things like:
➡️ Shawn's outer loop / inner loop framework - how to think about what to hand to AI and what to protect, with client relationships on one side, core IP on the other, and everything in between up for grabs.
➡️ The judgment sandwich - you need judgment to point the tools at the right problem and judgment to assess whether what came back is any good. AI handles the middle.
➡️ 1,000 true fans meets 10 agents - Shawn's reframe of Kevin Kelly's idea that you only need 1,000 real customers to have a real business. Now you also have 10 AI agents as your workforce. One person with the right clients and the right stack can do what used to require a small firm.
➡️ Enshittification - Shawn references Cory Doctorow's pattern where platforms first serve users, then extract from them. AI labs have the same structural incentive, which is why depending entirely on one of them is a trap.
➡️ The death of the commodity career - AI isn't just replacing tasks. It's replacing the career path that turned raw graduates into people with genuine judgment, through years of doing the work.
Definitely worth a listen!
Thanks for coming on @nprofile…439v, already looking forward to the next one!

Nice! Yeah, this was also our thinking too, although more focused on @nprofile…z8es for now and starting a couple of challenger small businesses that are agent-native day one. Keep us posted, think we'll see more of these opportunities especially with a pending wave of boomer retirements. Will be great to see how you're navigating it. When you land one we should chat on the AI side too

Mostly Claude Code, some Codex and Wingman - built by @nprofile…0350 which we use at @nprofile…chs4. I started out with Cursor and I'll still review code there, but it's predominantly in the terminal
Mostly building business tools, some work on graph databases, websites, games, and even a personal finance/tax prep tool. A lot of audience of one stuff.
Posted this one earlier, it's a Miro style infinite canvas synced with Claude Code/Wingman so we can collab in a visual space.

Definitely mate! I started out drawing up design docs and then I fed those to Claude Code as scaffolding. One of the docs is a phased implementation plan for it to follow and I'd review it, but Claude Code was doing the heavy lifting.
Deviated a bit from the plan on this in terms of UI, there are a few rough progress shots on my feed, but otherwise it's pretty true to the original spec. We chat about this 'slow code' approach quite a lot on the pod too

Looking back, @nprofile…w2ua’s book The Price of Tomorrow was such an important moment in my personal journey to Bitcoin.
Five years on, @nprofile…e2ph and I had the opportunity to sit down with Jeff for episode 24 of @nprofile…8u4a.
We covered a lot of ground, from how consciousness shapes our perceived reality, why personal journeys to Bitcoin often stem from a desire for agency and freedom, and how AI and Bitcoin can enhance rather than compete with each other.
Getting to explore these ideas with the person whose work has been so influential in my personal journey was very cool.
I really hope you enjoy our latest episode with Jeff as much as we did. It's a big one.

A good friend of mine is maybe 90% philosophically aligned with Bitcoiners, but he's reached a point where he's finally keen to learn about Bitcoin. I've suggested a bunch of the usual books, but he asked me what order he should be reading these in to build up his knowledge. Where does everyone recommend starting out?
