Man. I love eating sandwiches but I don't like being sleepy.

Marc Andreessen: "There's Mexican standoff between roles on a software team" AI coding tools like Claude Code are blurring roles on software teams....

Just published this thought: "Marc Andreessen: "There's Mexican standoff between roles on a software team""

Curious what you think...

Most people could automate more of their lives, but they don't.

They could use Apple Shortcuts, enable home automation (smart lights, smart furnace), use keyboard shortcuts, etc...

But most people don't.

Most people will just keep traveling the same simple path they've always taken.

Good vibes, bad vendors AI coding works now. Here's how to think about it.

One of the more clear-eyed takes on AI coding I've seen! Thanks for writing it.

Hits on a bunch of topics I've been thinking about lately: team dynamics, tightly controlling the scope of what you work on, the need for more communication, etc...

(It was so good I became a paying subscriber)

Love that I'm seeing these nerdy little CSS deep dives from Coyier on my Bluesky feed.

Feels like the old days with CSS Tricks!

Ai definitely opens up new business opportunities that were previously not doable.

The marketing you can do with a small TAM depends on a number of factors (who is the target market), but I could see newsletters, podcasts, trade organizations, etc being helpful

Post-Luxury Status Symbol #4: Hyper-Niche Expertise Why the coolest person you know right now has a strangely specific hobby

🎯 Eugene Healy:

β€œEveryone’s becoming a shallow generalist because [AI] now exists to fake depth without ever achieving it. Now, "real status comes from the inverse: hyper-niche expertise... the obsessive, decades-long devotion to something specific."

Almost always: Double-down on your strengths rather than blunt weakness.

Exception: When a weakness is directly blocking your goals or an obstacle to the most important next steps for the company.

Even then, just mute it, don’t try to β€œturn it into a strength.”
