> It's devastating for the AWS community. Ross Barich and Jason Dunn have done so much to build and support the AWS Hero and AWS Community Builder programs and both were fired by 3am text message. Sigh.
If you check out the comments on Jeff's LI post, you'll see how much he is loved by the entire AWS community.
Laravel shipped an official MCP server before Rails, Django, or any other major framework. I cracked it open to see how it works.
Turns out it's not magic: It's a well-built MCP server that exposes the web framework's app's internals through JSON-RPC. Database schemas, routes, config, error logs, even browser console errors. Laravel Boost was also one of the first plugins to get published in Claude Code's official marketplace.

After 14 years of coding, the bottleneck isn't code anymore. It's specs.
Nader Dabit runs five agent loops in perpetuity now. The code writes itself — but only if you tell it exactly what to write.
I put together a practical guide to running autonomous coding sessions that span multiple context windows and keep making progress while you're away from your keyboard.
OpenAI's CFO published detailed financials showing a near-linear relationship between compute capacity and revenue: ~$10B per gigawatt, consistent across 2023-2025.
Key numbers:
- 2023: 0.2 GW compute, $2B revenue
- 2024: 0.6 GW compute, $6B revenue
- 2025: 1.9 GW compute, $20B+ revenue
They're introducing ads to ChatGPT's free tier (Altman previously called AI ads "uniquely unsettling"). Still burning ~$9B/year with profitability targeted for 2029-2030.
The business model is essentially: subscriptions + API + ads + healthcare vertical + commerce. They're speedrunning what took Google/Meta a decade.
Interesting strategic detail: they're diversifying compute providers away from Microsoft dependency, which explains the Stargate project with SoftBank.
