Why is our vacuum cleaner not working right? Oh, it must be infested with a self-replicating agent again.
Digital pests are coming.
anthropic.com/research/self-…
Agent UX has gone through roughly four stages so far:
- Stop button: It's thinking, you can kill it. That's it.
- Queued messages: You can talk, and it reads them when it's done.
- Steering: You can redirect it mid-run.
- Responsive orchestrator: the thing you talk to never does the heavy work. It hands that to subagents in the background and controls them, so it's always free to answer you.
What's next?
This is right, and also, building in the application space rn feels like being chased by a grizzly bear.
h/t @ruedlinger for that analogy.
If you’re making an agent: just let it manage its own context. Give it a clear_context tool that takes handoff context and nudge it once or twice between tool calls when its getting near some reasonable limit. This is what codex added recently. Works wonderfully.

Right now is the most interesting time in tech, when new value is created and @sandwich gets to do our favorite kind of work.
So here’s an idea we had, to find the companies we want to invest in with great video: the Breadwinner Fellowship. Apply now.

For now, all we can say is it’s full of entertaining and educational moments to level up your career and build brand affinity in the least boring way possible.
Indie.vc was always the first fund I'd mention when asked about alternatives to venture capital. Indie.vc may be gone, but sustainable growth and more equitable funding are two trends that are here to stay. Excited for what's next @bryce! 🙏
Not the kind of news I look forward to sharing, but after 6 years of iterating on @indievc we're bringing an end to the program.
This has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my career to write yet, but it's time to turn the page...
I'm really excited to publicly share our Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion strategy, plans, and numbers

Having had a few false starts with this work over the years with a lot of personal frustration and frustration from the team, here’s what I’ve learned:
Incorporate DE&I goals directly into your company goals. Don't have them sit separately from your financial targets and product objectives. If they’re separate, they’ll compete for attention and resources, which means they’ll end up with less of both.
We've been looking forward to this moment all year: we added podcast support to Wistia today! 🎉
So excited to be bringing the marketing-focused tools and features we've built for video to the world of podcasting!
