Working remotely takes some practice, but the majority of the lessons are a subset of HOW TO RUN ANY COMPANY WELL. Remote work is a bright flashlight in a dark room; it illuminates so much blind bullshit and ineffectiveness. Dare flip the switch. t.co

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

Coming shortly, 𝕏 will publish everything demanded by @Alexandre and how those requests violate Brazilian law. This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached. Shame @Alexandre, shame.

Melania, the documentary no human wants to see, has a budget of $40 million, $28 million of which is “licensing fees” paid to the Trumps. FYI to all the MAGAs who fart out “hE dOnAtEs HiS saLaRy!!”, that one $28 million Bezos bribe is **70 years** worth of presidential salary.

I owe the television part of my career to Joy Reid, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Senator Mark Kelly

The Signal incident is what happens when you have the most unqualified Secretary of Defense we've ever seen. We're lucky it didn't cost any servicemembers their lives, but for the safety of our military and our country, Secretary Hegseth needs to resign.

My theory is that Phil and Sarah did not want to shove AI into everything at XBOX so they were forced to retire and resign. Microsoft is replacing them with someone with a strong background in AI and no experience in gaming. This is just getting insane.

More than 1 million people downloaded Codex App in the first week. 60+% growth in overall Codex user last week! We'll keep Codex available to Free/Go users after this promotion; we may have to reduce limits there but we want everyone to be able to try Codex and start building.

Fable one-shotted a Rust rewrite of the TerminalTextEffects Python library in 11M tokens. Startup time went from 87ms to 2ms and rendering speed is up by 9.6x. Now zero dependencies and a 3mb single exec 🤯 t.co

I just hoped back on Kimi K2.7 for some work yesterday. Hadn't been using it since GPT 5.6 and Fable. But great reminder of just how good these open-weight models have gotten. For what I was doing, Kimi was faster and just as good. Excited for K3!

The Omarchy 4 branch is now 30,000 lines of new code. The majority of it was written by GPT5.5. It's been so, so good at QML. You still need to review, but there's just no way this scale of a conversion would be feasible without AI in a reasonable time. t.co

I think it's great that all the model providers are coming out with their own CLIs, but let's be honest, no dev is going to want to have five different CLIs installed. They're going to want to learn and use one tool with all the models. For me, that tool is OpenCode.

I love the models Anthropic are offering, but I seriously hope it's a mistake that they're blocking alternative harness providers, like @opencode, from working with their subscriptions. Seems very customer hostile. t.co

Apple exodus set to continue. This is the price of keeping a bean counter at the head for so long. Cook's legacy will not improve by dragging his own departure out any longer. Maybe he should do like Ballmer and buy a basketball team?
