“Yeah, and then they got that sixty million dollar injection, and then it became fast all of a sudden.”

“I am still a cursor guy for the simple fact that I enjoy programming, I enjoy coding, like this sort of robs me of the fun.”

“Like, I remember v zero when it first launched, it was pretty bad. Like, and like anyone who was a developer, is a developer using it was terrible. But like, you know, two, three months in, it's one of the best ones out there. So I have no doubt the same thing…”

“I truly believe if you're trying to build something that you that you want users to use, you're going to have to get your hands dirty.”

“I think a little bit of audacity, a little bit of thought and care, and a little bit of taste goes a long way nowadays and more than the models getting better, because it's going to get easier, it's going to get better, it's going to get faster, but unfortunat…”

“Don't over obsess. Obsess on MCP skills, et cetera. I'm not saying don't get into these. I'm not saying don't read about them. I'm not saying don't use them, but I can almost guarantee you these things are not the reason why your product isn't working, right? …”

“I generally wouldn't go over 50%, meaning like the anthropic model Opus 4.5 has a 200,000 token context limit. The moment, in my opinion, you've got over a 100,000 tokens, meaning you're using the same session. It starts to sort of deteriorate. That's when you…”

“If we were to sit here eye to eye and you haven't built anything, deployed anything, there isn't a URL that I myself or Greg can click on that you've built, you have no business using Ralph. You literally have no business using Ralph. I would first get good at…”

“Now we're starting to get to a point where even myself, like I'm reviewing a lot more code than I write. And I never thought I'd be able to say that in the early months of 20, 26.”

“And then you have a lot of people have agent.md files or cloud.md files. Now I'm just going to say off rip, 95% of people don't need this. The reason being is, again, you have to assume that the models are already good, right?”

“The mental model I now have is I will not push anything to production, meaning I will not allow code to go live unless the score is greater than four out of five, right?”

“Like I asked my Astra agent to calculate how much of how much I've been using, like the subscription price, but also like in terms of API price, how much like I've been using in terms of model costs. And in the last week I've spent over 24,000 dollars. Mind yo…”

“Anthropic is sweating for sure because for the first time I would like, if I, if someone asked me pick a subscription, I would cancel and drop my Anthropics subscription. I would cancel Claude. Astra's that good.”

“I did that for one of my apps and speeds went from 800 milliseconds to literally 20 to 30 milliseconds, right?”
