Claude Code Projects is Duet except you get to pick the model and you can specify if you want to run a Claude code session on your computer. It’s coordinator that can do ANYTHING. And it’s easy to do things in parallel. Claude Code projects is the best feature in the Claude App. Very underrated. Claude Duet is clearly not using Opus 5.5 for all requests. And once you go Opus 5.5 anything worse is intolerable.

I've churned on Claude Duet and i'm back using claude code projects.

You can run this app on your computer to get access to a workspace where an agent completes tasks for you. This works like LEGO: you can combine your favorite pieces to build your agent. Octop can hand off coding tasks to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or OpenCode. You can also use any cloud or local model. It supports browser automation, terminal access, and remote desktop.

Several of the frontier model companies run their own security and compliance workflows on n8n. Sit with that for a second. The organizations with the best coding agents on earth, and the deepest understanding of what those agents can and cannot be trusted with, chose a visual canvas for the work that has to be right. Jan Oberhauser's framing of why is the sharpest version of this argument I've heard. Claude Code generates 10,000 lines nobody can inspect, and nobody can confirm it's doing the right thing. For a weekend project, fine. For anything business critical, you need to be certain rather than 95% confident, and there's no path from unreadable code to certainty. So the pattern isn't either-or. People prototype in Claude Code because starting is fast, then migrate once it matters. Especially for large or complex data pipelines where you have to define precisely what should happen rather than hope. Self-hosting carries weight for the same reason. Data privacy keeps climbing the list, and running next to your own data removes a whole category of question. The part worth generalising: the labs are not confused about what their own tools are for. They know exactly which problems are inspection problems. The confusion is downstream, with people who read the demos and assumed generation speed was the only variable that mattered. Fast to build and safe to run are different purchases.

life hack for founders: figure out what gives you energy and what drains it these feel like a shot of life right into my veins: > shaping the product roadmap and talking to users > bringing big, ambitious campaigns to market > spending 72 hours straight with claude code > hot yoga, surfing, gym, and tennis and these feel like eating glass: > meetings > flights > presentations > networking a lot of founders end up building companies they despise running. I have personally danced with this founder death spiral (™) and it is not for me the fact of the matter is: @beehiiv is more likely to succeed when I’m happiest and able to contribute what I do best to the company

A list of stats from the Anthropic S-1: - NDR is ~900% - Revenue per employee is over $6.6M, up from about $1.4M a year earlier - Revenue went from $41M three years ago to $16.3B in the first six months of 2026 - Quarterly revenue went from $4.7B in Q1 to $11.6B in Q2 - Q2 2026 was the first profitable quarter: $974M in operating income ($1.7B operating loss the quarter before) - Adjusted operating income was $1.6B in the first half of 2026, up from a $1.8B adjusted loss a year earlier - Revenue grew 1,368% year over year in Q2, while compute and infrastructure costs grew 300% - Compute went from 251% of revenue to 48% in five quarters - The value of Anthropic’s own internal Claude usage grew 250x from January to September 2026 - Anthropic spends more on tokens (at list price) than on payroll - Over 1,900 customers pay $1M+ a year, and about 250 pay $10M+ - Customers paying $100K+ went from 950 to over 11,900 in a year - Over half of the Fortune 500 pays $100K+ a year - Those Fortune 500 customers still spend less than 0.1% of their total expenses with Anthropic - The top 5% of Claude Code users spend roughly 20x what non-users on Claude Enterprise do - About 40 million smaller customers - $72.4B of the $80.7B first-half net loss is an accounting charge on convertible notes (not operating losses) - Nearly $800B in compute commitments over 10 years $141.1B raised in total, with over $130B in cash and short-term investments - Nearly half of revenue comes through Amazon, Google and Microsoft’s cloud marketplaces, all of which also compete with Claude - A single share held by the seven co-founders carries 50.1% of the vote - That share is redeemed for nothing if fewer than three founders remain

My quick takeaways on the Anthropic S-1: 1. This is a historical moment 2. $6.6M in revenue per employee!! Hard to even comprehend how good that is but Anthropic is AI native as it gets so makes sense. 3. I always thought OpenAI would drop their S-1 first 4. Customers spend about 9x more after a year. Net Revenue Retention is approximately 900% as of Sep 30, 2026. Good SaaS companies brag about 120%. 5. Cowork is growing faster than Claude Code did. Goes to show you the demand for consumer products. Duo will probably rip. 6. 3 years ago this company did $41M in revenue. In the first six months of 2026, it did $16.3 billion. I don't think anyone has a mental model for that curve yet, I sure don’t. 7. Nearly half of revenue comes through cloud marketplaces. About 48% comes from customers buying through them. Big companies buy where their budget already lives, and the lesson for founders selling to enterprises is to get listed where your buyers already spend. 8. Their run rate formula is published: the last 28 days of usage times 13, plus subscriptions times 12, which i guess is the new ARR math for founders? 9. It looks like They're merging Cowork into Claude dot au which tells you the chat box era is ending and the "go do the work for me" era is here. 10. Thousands of Anthropic employees are about to become liquid at once, so expect the biggest wave of new AI startups and angel checks San Francisco has ever seen. Reminds me when Facebook went public but this is way bigger. Let’s go! 11. Buried in the filing, Anthropic says the gap between what Claude can do and how widely it's used is one of its biggest growth opportunities, so the company itself is telling you the models are ahead of the market and someone has to close that gap for dentists, landlords, and plumbers. 12. Whatever happens, exciting times to be building in AI.

junior ships a feature with claude code: vibe coding staff engineer ships the same feature with claude code: agentic orchestration same prompt btw

@exm7777Oct 25

if you want to get the best out of Hermes today... do this: > list every tool you use daily, business or not > find their APIs, MCPs, CLIs... anything you can feed to an agent > prompt Hermes to run a full context collection interview > describe your workflows in plain english when done, prompt your agent to analyze all the material, come up with a proper project structure and .md files you now have a full workspace built around YOUR business (that you can move from Hermes to Claude Code or Grok Bot) not a generic setup... not someone else's template... a system that knows how you work, what tools you use, and what you're trying to do that's the difference between using AI and having AI work for you

THE SCALE MAFIA one of the most special parts of starting a company is watching the people you fought and bled with in the early days go out and change the world. the Scale crew was supernatural. @scale_ai was one of the first companies to IOI and IMO-maxx, and the magic of Scale was that all of these geniuses gave a shit and ran through walls. it's no wonder that the Scale mafia is the first true mafia of the modern tech era. just to name a few: - cognition founder @stevenkplus1 & president @russelljkaplan - modal founder @akshat_b - tech & science advisor to POTUS @mkratsios47 - claude code head of product @_catwu - kpcb partners @LM_Braswell & @nayakkayak - bun founder @jarredsumner - tbd head of product @lindugong - netic founder @melisatokmak - cobot founder @BradPorter_ - secureframe founder @shravvmehtaa - paramount skydance cfo @DennisKCinelli - thinking machines gc lauren lennon - partner at greylock @sophia_luo_ - liquid ai coo jeffrey li - gallatin ai founder @agilemofo - tbd safety @_julianmichael_ - center for ai safety president @devindkim [photo courtesy the beautiful wedding of @thenateherman (who in many ways was a cofounder of Scale) and @ChristinaG325]

@mvanhornOct 25

It's crazy what can unlock in your brain when you get an unexpected Claude Code reset. It didn't restart my weekly time so I only have 48 hours to use it. 48 HOURS OF UNEXPECTED SOFTWARE WILL BE BUILT.

@levelsioOct 25

Yesterday I spent all day typing this into Claude Code: "Do a full security audit of this website and server" On every single VPS (and site) I have I already had automatic unattended upgrades with auto reboot for security updates in Ubuntu (reboot only takes 4 minutes so I think it's fine every few weeks) Also isolated each VPS on Tailscale with special security policies (generated by Claude Code! so it can not access any other VPS (in case it gets hacked) and not even access my MacBook or iPhone unless I talk to it first Also lots of user permission stuff isolating stuff to www-data to avoid root access for web services Not the most fun stuff but essential I think in addition to @yongfook's "marketing week" we now have to add one week per month of "security week" because with the models getting better our pre-emptive defense has to get better too Luckily for us I think the attack and defense capabilities of AI models seems to somewhat match? So as long as we keep typing "do a security audit" regularly into our clanker we can keep it safe I hope 🫨

@theoOct 25

Spent a lot of time on this today. I confirmed it's a real bug on Anthropic's side. To be clear: this does not affect weekly limits. All Agents SDK usage will drain your 5h limits faster than using Claude Code directly. I have reported this to Anthropic, hoping for a fix soon.

Your first four or five cold pitches will be ignored. Ankit Shukla is blunt about why, and it is not that people are busy. The work isn't good enough yet. Almost nobody says this part out loud. The standard advice treats silence as a volume problem, so send more, follow up harder, try a different subject line. He treats it as a quality signal, which is far more useful because it tells you what to change. Here's the method his students used to land roles at Meta, Amazon, Google and Sarvam AI. Build a list of 25 to 30 companies whose work you actually admire. Study them properly, not a skim of the homepage. Then answer one question: if I were the PM here, what would I do in my first six months? Then go make it. A deck, a prototype, real research. Pull emails for at least two decision makers using the free credits on Apollo or RocketReach. Send it. Follow up around three times in a week, then move on. By the fifth or sixth attempt, the replies start. Not because you got lucky on the sixth. Because five rounds of building real artifacts for real companies made the sixth one noticeably better than the first. His phrase for it is that learning is course correction. The rejections are the correction mechanism, which only works if you keep shipping new work rather than resending the same deck. The second benefit arrives later. In the interview, people talk about the projects you sent them. You stop being a candidate explaining what you'd do and become someone discussing work they've already done.

@aakashguptaOct 24

"Our best week ever was the week OpenAI killed us." That's Jan Oberhauser on the launch of OpenAI's agent builder, which was supposed to end n8n and instead produced one of their fastest growth weeks on record. His explanation for why is more interesting than the flex. When a frontier lab ships something in your category, the category gets talked about. More people learn the problem exists. A fraction of them go looking for the tool that handles it properly. He says they've been declared dead roughly a thousand times and can't remember half of what was supposed to have done it. On Claude Code he refuses the fight entirely. Great tool, deserves to exist, completely different product, you need both. Claude Code runs models in your terminal as an agentic tool. n8n is the orchestration layer connecting your tools, your models and your data sources. The pattern he actually sees is people prototyping in Claude Code because starting is fast, then migrating once the thing becomes business critical. The numbers under the calm: 200,000 GitHub stars, 1.5 million active users, 1,200 enterprise customers, revenue up 10x in a year. Most "X killed Y" takes assume the market is fixed and every new entrant takes a slice. In a category this young, the new entrant is usually just free marketing for the problem.

i'm closing all new enrollments for the Real-Time AI Ops Community i've also frozen every subscription for 30 days, so everyone inside basically gets a month for free i still believe it's the most valuable community in the AI space... it's already super interactive, with agents trained on your context and memory in every section but it needs to evolve very soon, i expect most members to pull content straight from Claude Code or Grok Bot instead of watching videos and reading guides... so i can't keep delivering it that way i'm taking the time to completely rework how the info gets to you the vision: your agent makes a tool call to my brain and picks up exactly what it needs: - the latest SEO workflows that work best - my own skills, installed as i build them - the right tool for the task in front of you all from the agent you already use i'm also building my own GUI so all of this looks great and shows the data exactly how i want it when the community opens again, it's going to feel like nothing you've used before will keep you posted

Your timeline is full of people with autonomous agents running their companies overnight. @thejamesmcaulay has built one of the more complete growth harnesses I've seen, and when I asked him to close the loop on making it autonomous, he stopped and lowered expectations instead. No agent on a Mac mini working around the clock. He's in the driving seat. Five or six tabs open, each one sent off on about an hour of work, him deciding what gets sent. His read on everyone claiming otherwise: they're either burning tokens on nothing, or they've built a once-a-day summariser and called it an employee. The one genuinely autonomous thing he runs is tiny. A Sunday routine that tests his whole site for speed regressions and emails him if something got slower after he shipped. Wakes up, runs one test, shuts down. That's the honest shape of autonomy today. Narrow, scheduled, watching one thing you would otherwise forget to check. He calls the rest of it an operating system rather than an agent team, and the distinction does real work. An OS makes you better at what you're already doing. It does not do the work while you sleep. Which reframes what to build next. Stop trying to construct the self-running company. Build the one cron job that catches the regression you'd miss. The Sunday SEO check is worth more than a fleet of agents summarising competitors nobody reads.

@clairevoOct 24

Plot twist: I’ve moved 80% of my personal coding over to claude code + opus-5.5 why? - cc projects is goated - I can’t press “steer” anymore in codex - code is good? - less front end slop but tbh: opus 5.5 creative abilities was the gateway drug to taking back my coding work

@thdxrOct 24

there's way too much obsession with being at "cutting edge" right now as though it has to do with what tools you picked it's all about how you use them and your creativity. people doing great work can do it in vanilla claude code
