This Week's Updates - October 30th
What I shipped this week
Skills and Agents
- Made improvements to how the onboarding conversation recommends aides.
- Made improvements to the MCP server and support for authentication in Claude Code.
- Add an LLMs.txt file to skills and agents.
Uristocrat Mixtape
- We fixed a bug with how tracks load on crated mixtape.
- We fixed a bug with pulling album covers from Apple. If a track’s image can’t load, you now see a “♪” placeholder instead of a broken icon.
What I'm Reading
Prestige Traps and Technological shifts by Jack Raines. Jack uses PE as his example but I couldn't help but transfer the analogy to tech and to PMs and Engineers. What happens when AI can do your job faster and better with the right harness? System architects?

What I'm thinking about
- How do you have teams collaborate in Claude and ChatGPT and see the thinking that resulted in an LLM's output?
- Ephemeral apps: How do you spin up apps for discrete tasks for all knowledge workers, not just engineering, so someone can get something done quickly and then spin it back down once it's no longer needed?
- How do you run CI/CD with Agents spinning up PRs? I previously used GitHub Runners for my actions, but that led to some hefty bills, so now I run self-hosted runners. However, I can't help but think we need a different way to handle CI/CD with AI coding agents. Seems others are thinking about this as well.

If you’re a parent the number one thing you can instill in your child is entrepreneurship. The way many of your parents taught you to move in the world is no longer valid. The job is not promised. There isn’t even “job” anymore. There’s money. And you must make it. Creatively.… https://t.co/y9llU4EtRI

Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse.

We gave it 19 gene therapy vectors in a spreadsheet, a mouse model of epilepsy, access to a motorize surgery rig with cameras and one goal: reduce seizures.
It picked the drug. It picked the brain region. It derived the… pic.twitter.com/P2ykp3aToo
i've been building the most ai-pilled company in the world for 2 years. let's trade notes:

- spawn is ten people
- we spend 30x payroll on AI tokens
- and ship almost as much as anthropic
- our agents pick their own names
- and profile pics
- and remember everything
- they… https://t.co/49DRAxsoir
