Its over boys
I’ve left Anthropic after more than a year of working on Claude Code and seeing it scale larger than I ever imagined.
I have really loved working at Ant and believe deeply in the mission, and most of all, the idea of a race to the top.
The idea that if we work hard and responsibly, we can raise the bar and inspire others to great outcomes. And if we all push each other to be better, things can be radically good. I will carry the spirit of this with me forever.
My colleagues at Anthropic are the most talented, thoughtful, competent, and earnest people I have ever met. I am glad they are at the wheel and trust them deeply.
To the community on X, thank you for everything. You’ve made this the most fun (and sometimes stressful) job I’ve ever had.
For me, it is time for a bit of a break before diving into something new.
If you want more excellent Claude Code content, you should follow @addyosmani , @lydiahallie, @_catwu, @ClaudeDevs and of course @bcherny who started it all.
The disgusting orange color is finally dead
Today we rolled out a refined new look for the @claudeai app! Was a blast to work on this with a few of our talented product designers, from sketch to launch in under 3 weeks with the help of Claude and our design system ✨ let us know if you have any feedback!
Spend is at $33 so far and I've gotten 14 installs
God tested me for this tweet
Got the shit beaten out of me in sparring today
Apple instantly rejects my app and claims I’m using remote config?
I’ve never used remote config, and this app doesn’t even have A/B tests
It was literally in review for 10 seconds
Just dropped everything I know about making money with apps after 100x’ing my revenue in the last 5 months

your paywall’s X button costs you 20% of trials
‼️ add a dismiss form instead
here’s how:
1/ trigger on exit: show a short survey when the user wants to close
2/ ask one question (variations of “why not now?”)
3/ for each objection, give an alternative:
too expensive → give a discount
need more time → longer free trial
not sure what’s included → quick feature recap
4/ cap it: show it once per user so it doesn’t feel like spam
5/ check apple’s guidelines: one easy exit, clear pricing, no fake urgency
