light on coding, onboarded users. met the wonderful team at reducto ( @tboser @sidpagariya @aditabraham & others). they told me alvin on their team is ripping $4k a month on claude code, wtf is he doing?!? this picture was his reaction

sid in particular was psych'd about straude, even though he doesn't use claude much himself. he told me we should add codex & opencode support. he's a big fan of gitbutler and showed me how it works. thx sid for the great feedback (& onboarding video)!

nice chat with thomas on why there hasn't been a breakout ai product with strong network effects -- chatgpt, cursor, openclaw, nano banana, etc. all work just as well for me whether or not you use it. whereas linkedin & strava have such strong moats because other ppl are on it.

we went to jeson's soft opening (6k sq ft builder workshop in the mission), then walked to billiards night hosted by delve/gumloop/reducto. met someone who does "attention coaching" i.e. she works 1-on-1 with clients to help them quit phone addition and regain the ability to focus. naturally, tiktok is her top-of-funnel so a lot of her time is spent making tiktoks 😂 modern problems call for modern solutions. opportunity is everywhere.

apoorva (instacart founder/ceo) wants his team to hit 3B tokens/day/team member by end of q2. founder-led companies like coinbase, shopify, ramp, resend are all sprinting on this 🤔
