the most long AGI bet is buying land here.

revealed preference of the rich is sailing the med or sipping rosè in nice. post-scarcity is bullish europe. it’ll be easier to mass-produce robots and chips than to recreate an italian piazza at dusk. leisure is the final good.

When I was building the MVP,
I spent 40 – 60 hours a week coding.

Now that it’s built
I spend 40 – 60 hours a week on marketing.

Building is just the beginning.
Getting people to care that’s the real grind.

Spend your time and effort on the right thing at the right stage.
We all get the same 24 hours a day.

+1 for "context engineering" over "prompt engineering".

People associate prompts with short task descriptions you'd give an LLM in your day-to-day use. When in every industrial-strength LLM app, context engineering is the delicate art and science of filling the context window with just the right information for the next step. Science because doing this right involves task descriptions and explanations, few shot examples, RAG, related (possibly multimodal) data, tools, state and history, compacting... Too little or of the wrong form and the LLM doesn't have the right context for optimal performance. Too much or too irrelevant and the LLM costs might go up and performance might come down. Doing this well is highly non-trivial. And art because of the guiding intuition around LLM psychology of people spirits.

On top of context engineering itself, an LLM app has to:

  • break up problems just right into control flows
  • pack the context windows just right
  • dispatch calls to LLMs of the right kind and capability
  • handle generation-verification UIUX flows
  • a lot more - guardrails, security, evals, parallelism, prefetching, ...

So context engineering is just one small piece of an emerging thick layer of non-trivial software that coordinates individual LLM calls (and a lot more) into full LLM apps. The term "ChatGPT wrapper" is tired and really, really wrong.

they should never had given me access to Claude Code Max, I'm at 60M tokens inputted since I got access yesterday evening

I'm artisanally writing code while at work meanwhile Claude Code is cleaning up a bajillion various things I've accumulated, cleaning up my nix flake, improving my recent papers reimplementations (using the base paper + any code implementations it can find) etc...
