BIG NEWS: Opus 5 is here...and I *hate* working with it. And yet in a blind taste test, I ranked it above every other model (even Fable and my beloved GPT-5.6) What I cover in my day 0 review: 00:00 Why I have model fatigue 03:15 First impressions 06:12 Opus 5's neurotic personality 14:39 Why claude slop makes my blood boil 16:55 The mechanics behind my blind benchmark 18:30 The leaderboard reveal 23:25 Final thoughts and how I'll actually use Opus 5 With all the twists, turns, and (a little bit of) silliness, this is one of my favorite review eps yet.

Before Fable got released (and pulled) Mozilla was quietly testing Claude Mythos against Firefox's 10M line codebase. The result? Over 400 security bugs fixes, including ones that had been hiding in the codebase for over a decade. Brian Grinstead, distinguished engineer at Mozilla, walked me through the agentic bug-finding harness behind the model. His take? It was 50% mythos / 50% setup. In this ep, Brian walks through: - why you can't just point a model at 10M lines of code - how to write a good goal/loop pattern - killing false positives with a verifier - why it's good to "lie to the agent" And guess what? This isn't magic - you can write your own similar harness in less than an afternoon. Watch now on YT:

Local models aren’t fast and honestly they’re not cheaper (yet!) than your frontier model sub. BUT, you can burn infinite tokens 24/7– and that when things get interesting. That’s why Alex Finn runs a fleet of Mac Studios, a DGX Spark, and an RTX 5090 machine to power ambient AI across his business. In this ep, Alex shows me his local AI setup, including: - how he chooses his hardware - Tailscale to stay connected - how cc and local models work together - his software factory: from build loop to rocket emoji Plus, we have the honest OpenClaw vs Hermes debate 🦞 A big ty to our sponsors!

Soooo Thariq has straight up changed my life with these 5 words: "HTML is the new markdown." It's so obvious in hindsight: while .md is simple to write and agents can read it well, it's a total slog to eyeball as a human. In this special ep recorded live at Code with Claude, Thariq walks me through how he: - uses HTML artifacts as interactive specs - builds throwaway micro-UIs - maintains a living design system in HTML - prompts Claude with "whatever is needed" to give it room to actually think He also tells us what comes after the SWE + PM role 👀 As always, a huge TY to our amazing sponsors: 🔀 Celigo - Intelligent automation built for AI: 🪪 Persona - trusted identity verification for any use case: Watch now on YT:

Fable 5 (aka baby Mythos) just dropped. Is it as scary (or scary good) as they claim? My thoughts after some early testing: - smart smart smart (crushed SWE bench) - but do you always need hyper intelligence? - faceplanted on one-shot design in a way that shocked me - i'm not sure about dynamic workflows + complex subagents. they work, but at what cost? - def knocked out technical work well - ootb bad at making technical docs + specs for humans. probably really good docs for agents. but nearly impossible to parse prose. - A++ vision and document formatting. this was my favorite part NOT a daily driver, wouldn't put this model in a meeting, but def will keep it back in the server rack, churning out code.

While your team is just getting started vibe coding prototypes, the team at Stripe is vibe coding a full vibe coding platform. Owen Williams ⚡ is a design manager at Stripe who built Protodash - an internal AI prototyping tool that lets designers and PMs spin up real, clickable prototypes in minutes. In this ep he walks through: - why generic AI tools produce "blurple slop" that doesn't match your design system - how he built a full prototyping studio on top of dev boxes with cursor + cc - why more PMs than designers now use Protodash - the design review mode that lets teams ship feedback direct in the app Plus, we talk about getting to the ultimate dream: demos, not memos. ty to our sponsors! 🧠 CESAR - Intelligent automation built for AI 💻 Cursor - The best way to code with AI Full episode on yt:

good news: /goal in codex has solved all my problems bad news: i'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs while the agents do all my bidding it's no secret i'm a little bit obsessed with codex, and /goal is a big part of that. i put together a 30m ep on /goal including: - what it is - how to write a good goal - how to drive bug zero with Vercel Sentry and codex - two non-technical use cases for goal, including cleaning up 4,000 emails over 4 hours A HUGE thank you to our wonderful sponsor, Mercury - radically different banking loved by over 300K entrepreneurs:

2 moms, 5 mac minis, 7 kids, infinite OpenClaw🦞 ideas This episode with Jesse Genet might be my favorite How I AI yet 🦞🦞🦞 🦞 🦞 After a tricky start, I finally found my groove with Polly the Clawdbot, and most of that was thanks to being inspired by Jesse. She shows us: - how she runs her homeschool using Obsidian, her iphone camera, nano 🍌, and openclaw - why she decided to invest in fat stacks of mac minis, for physical partitioning of her personal data - what an army of AI agents can do for a busy mom of 4 who "wants it all" Plus we talk endlessly about how AI is perfect for parents aka people "with no hands."

I'm really loving Claude Design more than I thought I would, so much so I blew through limits on 2 (!!!) accounts testing it. So here it is, the $200-in-overages Claude Design review + walkthrough you've been waiting for. I show you: - how to set up (or steal) a design system - why I think product marketers are sleeping on Claude Design - who I think this product kills (spoiler: not Figma) - my nits + feedback, which mostly have to do with latency--so much time sauteeing onions--and how every time I test an anthropic product, I get rate limited before a magic moment. BONUS: I walk through the brand new ChatGPT Images 2.0 model, which gets rid of typography slop and improves significantly on layout work.

Anyone can build, and agents are the new user. Jason Levin is the founder of Memelord Technologies, and built a meme app to $100K ARR on Bubble before vibe coding was even a thing--and now he's letting his marketers loose in Cursor to acquire users any unhinged way they can think of. In this week's episode, Jason and I cover over 10 AI workflows including: - plugging memelord into OpenClaw🦞 for fully agentic viral videos - a no-screen/no-voice way to capture ideas in the dark without waking his wife - how his marketing team vibe codes free tools that pull hundreds of thousands of emails He also tell us why why agents are about to become memelord's best customers: "they don't overthink, they just yolo straight to the tokens."

As an EM, running engineering standups where everyone's dead-eyed and reciting what they worked on is, in Ryan Nystrom words, a huge waste of time. So he built a Notion AI agent that preps his team's standup before the meeting starts, so he can code right up until it begins. In this ep he walks us through: - The "Hot Potato" 🥔 custom agent that scans Slack, GitHub, Honeycomb, and yesterday's meeting transcript every morning at 9am - How he @-mentions Codex from inside a Notion task and gets a full PR back in 10 minutes - Spec-driven development: talking into Whisper → spec → one-shotted implementation - Why CI speed is now your AI adoption ceiling Plus he shares why this is his favorite prompt: "I literally don't know what I'm doing. Explain it to me." ty to our sponsors! 💼 WorkOS - Make your app enterprise ready today 🔀 Orkes - The enterprise platform for reliable applications and agentic workflows Full episode:

Sure, everyone loves Claude Code but if you ask non-coders: they're all obsessed with Cowork. JJ Englert at tenex is one of them, and he's giving us the power user's guide to getting started with Claude Cowork. In this ep, JJ walks me through: - How to set up Claude Cowork projects (hint: it's just a folder on your computer) - His "brain" file: a doc that tells Claude who he is, how he works, and who he works with, so he never has to re-explain himself - 3 AI agents with different personas that review your work before you share it with real humans My favorite take from this ep: Cowork teaches you the mental models of Claude Code without ever opening a terminal. If you've been stuck in chat mode wondering how to actually get AI to do work for you, this is your episode. ty to our amazing sponsors! 🔀 Tines - Start building intelligent workflows today 🖱️Cursor - The best way to code with AI Full episode:
