The evidenced stack.
app / uses
Bank of America
“Yeah. I got, I got the tool. Uh, what, like, I hate, I use Bank of America. I hate bank, I hate the app. Mm-hmm. I hate the web. All banking websites just horrible.”
other / likes
Wiki approach
“I like the, the Wiki approach. Uh, my, I’m actually like, uh, you know, obviously I spent some my time at cognition, which, uh, you, you know very well.”
person / uses
Ted Chiang
“You were very excited because I read Ted Chiang over the holidays and I was very inspired by this short story called Understand, which apparently is, like, pretty old.”
app / uses
Overcast
“I used to use Overcast. So it would just link to the Overcast page.”
other / uses
Snip

Scaling DevTools
“I think I strongly recommend Jack Bridger's Scaling DevTools, as well as Turner Novak's The Peel.”
app / uses
AI News
“So that's what basically I use AI News for. I have a lot of prompts and a lot of steps and a lot of criteria and O1 just kind of checks through each kind of systematically.”
tool / built
Bolt.new
“It's funny because I built on top of the fork of Bolt.new that already has the multi LLM thing.”
other / uses
XML
“I use XML in other models as well, and it's just a really nice way to make sure that the thing that ends is tied to the thing that starts. That's the only way to do code fences where you're pretty sure example one start, example one end, that is one cohesive unit.”
app / uses
DevIn
“I used to tell people go to the DevIn demo and look at the four things that they offer and say each of those things is a startup.”

01 / disagreement
I think we'll go into suite agent in a little bit, but I kind of reject the fact that, you know, you need to choose one prompt and like have your whole performance be predicated on that one prompt.
