Fuck I just had a wild realization

I find myself giving this advice pretty often, figured I should share it publicly
Once you're paid enough to live, the ONLY thing that matters is that you're surrounded with awesome fucking people.

I built an agent on @onkeiki called Pablo. He books my flights, gets my dinner reservations and finds gifts for my mom.
My favorite part is the small stuff. When a task takes a while, he reacts to my text and replies right in the thread.
I see the reaction, I know he’s working, and I continue with my other work until he's done.
All it takes is one change in the system prompt.
Deep dive on this coming soon.

What if we could manipulate UI at the speed of thought?
Built this voice coffee ordering system with @typesafeai Jev. The drink and any updates show up while I’m still mid-sentence, ~200 ms from word to screen.
Feels pretty magical!

getting a full financial picture shouldn't require a $99/year subscription to @monarch_money
you can now connect @Plaid with @mercury personal, and ask all the financial questions you need the answers to in one place
helped me clean up an old $100/month subscription!

My favorite thing I built with Fable 5.2?
→ typed.page/
Inspired by (and integrated w) @rauchg's WebGL2 record player, this is a fully functioning typewriter where you can:
- type or click out words
- set writing timers
- use whiteout and auto correct issues
- browse notecards of writing prompts
- type in a moody office, cozy train, scribble in a notebook, or print to your dot matrix printer
- follows your local time of day (or pick your vibe)
- saves pages locally, download as image or text
might make it into a real app
wdyt? who wants to build a cozy lil writing habit?

our goal for Rex clients from the start was to build the most magical terminal app and to make it feel native on every platform. to me that doesn’t mean porting the same UI around. it means embracing the norms and quirks of each platform, so the app feels at home on your system rather than a guest that calls attention to itself.
we’re about two weeks away from inviting the first wave of alpha users to Rex for Windows. it’s a fully reimagined version of our Mac app that still keeps the feel that makes the Mac app special. it’s crazy fast, the UI is entirely gpu-driven, and just like on Mac, it works as both server and client.
here's a little video of me demonstrating some of the basics. I'll stress that this is pre-alpha right now, there is a lot to polish and port still, but I'm very excited about putting this in the hands of users soon.

one thing we've done @mercury is search for high performers in any role and give them oppts in company
key is exec/leadership team seeks out and discusses great people and tries to spot opportunities
- former support rep now leads partnerships
- researcher is now a PM

Media has a reputation for paying people slowly. @Emily_Sundberg of Feed Me pays on time, and there's no payroll team behind it, just Mercury.

NEW: Apple is cutting employee AI spending budgets even as it pushes workers to use the technology more. Engineers have seen daily limits cut from $300 to $200, with further reductions to $100 planned. Other teams could see limits fall to $25. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Really excited about our Mercury integration over at Town.
As someone who fought for open banking for 7 years when I was CTO at Plaid, what Mercury is doing here is so important, and I am hopeful that every bank will endorse enabling people to get the most out of THEIR MONEY via agents and AI!
1/ Today, @Mercury is launching Agent Controls: see every agent connected to your account, what it can do, its activity, and cut it off in seconds.
Big banks are locking AI agents out. It’s bad security, and an admission they don’t understand the future.
