  • Why AI Makes It Harder to Ship Good Products

    Why AI Makes It Harder to Ship Good Products
    2026/04/22
    Andrew and Sean dig into Clawdgate, the growing developer complaints that Anthropic has been quietly throttling Claude's default thinking power after locking in enterprise deals. They also get into Sean's Salvo orchestration system, why waterfall specs do not work even with AI, and why scope creep is the silent killer hiding inside every AI coding workflow.

My phone is gigantic.00:02.84AndrewI want to throw Claude out of the window.00:06.04SeanWhy? What's going on? How dare you speak about my boy, Claude?00:13.07AndrewHave you seen all the chatter online? Like there, I don't know if it's like just my feed or what, but I'm seeing a bunch of people complaining about Claude getting worse.00:15.63SeanYeah.00:23.62AndrewLike, uh, and like the, the hypothesis I've seen is that, that, um,00:23.98SeanTotally.00:30.65Andrewis that Anthropic has been kind of throttling down Claude's default thinking power, or like like basically how much time and resources it spends thinking to save money.00:45.99Andrewlike they The theory is that they like used the masses to get people excited and build hype for Claude so they could sell enterprise deals. And now that they've got the enterprise deals, they're like throttling down how good Claude is for the masses by default.01:03.27Andrewbut But I think you can still like adjust the settings to get it back to where it was. i haven't really tried to tinker with it.01:10.37SeanYou gotta make an ultra think, man. You gotta turn on ultra think.01:15.65AndrewWait, is that a thing? Is that a setting, UltraThink? Or is this...01:21.16SeanIf you type in ultra think, something will happen. But I think it's just called slash effort max now, not ultra think.01:26.29Andrewyeah, yeah, yeah.01:27.67Andrewyeah01:28.95Seanmaybe ultra think is still a thing though I'm not super sure I know that all of Facebook uses ultra think do you see that Facebook's and internally has a competition of like how like they're all token maxing because there's a leaderboard of how many tokens you're burning and one guy's burnt like01:44.88AndrewIs this why people are like making fun of, I've seen a bunch of people talking about how stupid it is to like reward people for like maximizing tokens.01:52.34Seanyeah01:53.92AndrewIs this where this is coming from?01:55.41SeanYeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. 100% it is. Yeah. But have you turned on your Claude buddy? Do you have your Claude buddy yet?02:05.24AndrewSo no, is this, is this like a default cloud thing or is it something you have to install?02:08.36SeanYeah. Yeah, yeah. No, Claude code, just type in slash buddy. You got like a random buddy. I got a common turtle. his name is His name is Flukish, but I like to call him fuckish.02:23.08Seanhe' He's kind of an asshole. Like, it tells you, like, a personality rating, and it's, like, everything else is not helpful. Like, ability to debug, like, zero. Ability to whatever, zero. Snarky, 95. Yeah.02:36.12AndrewSo sounds like you, they they cloned you.02:37.69Seanyeah I know.02:39.68Andrewthey somehow just interpreted you.02:42.32SeanI'm just a common turtle, man.02:43.62SeanHmm.02:44.22Andrewand So I use i exclusively use Claude inside of Conductor. And so I've never actually like looking directly at the Claude metal. Like I'm not and the Claude code interface.02:55.56AndrewI'm always seeing it inside of just the sort of conductor wrapping.02:58.95SeanYeah. Yeah.03:02.35AndrewAustin was just showing me a version, like an yet another03:07.92SeanYeah.03:08.88Andrewuh one of these things it's called superset which is apparently like conductor but you're more you're getting more of the direct cloud code experience which i don't know if i need or want03:13.18SeanOh, I saw that. Yeah, yeah.03:23.47SeanYeah.03:25.69AndrewBut yeah, what i have also i have not tinkered with my like default fault Clawed settings at all.03:25.81SeanYeah.03:35.42Andrewlike i I haven't done the EffortMax thing yet. I haven't messed around with my ClawedMD file. I've just been like just been rolling with with what I get out of the box. Austin also raves about a set of skills called superpowers that I heard Ian Lanceman talking about some recently too.03:56.24SeanHave you seen people talk about like impeccable? Okay.03:59.16AndrewOh, is this the is this kind of like the UI?03:59.36SeanU-I-S-H.04:02.80AndrewWell, I still don't, yeah, so no one knows what UiASH is going to actually be, but it seems like similar vibes.04:03.00SeanYeah. yeah04:10.84SeanYeah, someone... i saw a post yesterday about someone talking about how, like, a before and after they got to use ...

  • Why We Stopped Paying for Cursor and Switched to Claude Max

    Why We Stopped Paying for Cursor and Switched to Claude Max
    2026/04/13
    Andrew ditched Cursor for Claude Max and the economics made it an easy call. In this episode they get into the Meta Monster pivot toward content optimization, why Claude hallucinated an entire Wix API, and what the switch to Conductor actually looks like day to day. Links:Andrew’s Twitter: @AndrewAskinsAndrew's website: https://www.andrewaskins.com/MetaMonster: https://metamonster.ai/Slackletter: https://slackletter.com/Sean’s Twitter: @seanqsunMiscreants: http://miscreants.com/Margins: http://margins.so/Sean's website: https://seanqsun.com/For more information about the podcast, check out https://www.smalleffortspod.com/.Transcript: 00:00.47SeanCool. Thanks. What's up?00:03.03AndrewNot much. I haven't seen you in like three fucking months.00:06.58SeanYeah.00:06.74AndrewHow are you?00:08.06Seanah I'm good. Q1 is finally over. RSA is finally over. So now it's time to worry about Black Hat.00:15.45AndrewJesus.00:17.14Seanum But.00:19.03AndrewQ1 being finally over means we're like even closer to the death day for Metamonster.00:19.26Seanah00:25.67SeanOh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.00:27.03AndrewHave I told you this, that like Austin and I were like, if if it's not working by the middle of the summer, we're gonna, we need to like pull the plug.00:34.90SeanYou have. You have. yeah What would you do if you pulled the plug? Would you start a new thing, or can I finally hire you again?00:43.25AndrewDude, i I have, I don't know, is the short answer, but I have lots of thoughts. Like part of me wants to to buy a trad business, which is what I've been calling brick and mortar businesses lately.00:53.78AndrewAnd every time I say it, it makes people cringe, which is why I continue to say it.00:56.04SeanThat's horrible. du't That's disgusting. Mexico City is changing you. i can't believe you'd say that.01:02.13AndrewWhoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.01:03.16Seanforpin01:05.14AndrewNo, that's just me having a stupid sense of humor. You can't blame Mexico City for that.01:07.90SeanNo, no, it's good.01:09.10AndrewMexico City way too beautiful a place to blame for that.01:09.88SeanIt's good. Speaking, speaking of trad related things, have you seen the documentary?01:14.26AndrewOh God, where is this going?01:18.45SeanHave you been, ah have you been, ah did you watch the Manosphere documentary on Netflix with Louis Thoreau?01:24.79AndrewNo, but my little sister did and she was like, you have to watch it.01:28.22SeanIt's so good.01:28.28AndrewAnd i I haven't watched it yet. Yeah.01:30.15SeanIt's so good. It's all Ben and I could talk about at RSA.01:34.26AndrewNice.01:34.32SeanSorry.01:35.00AndrewHave you seen Project Hail Mary yet?01:37.11SeanNo, I hear it's good, but i don't know what it's about.01:38.71AndrewI hear it's really good. Yeah. Oh, you didn't read the book?01:42.21SeanNo, I don't read.01:43.86AndrewI forgot.01:44.73Seanyeah i think I think if all books were in AI chat bubbles, I would read all of it, but they're not. so that's01:52.77AndrewThat's the lamest thing you've ever said to me. It's almost as bad as trad businesses.01:59.32Seanit's It's probably worse.02:02.68Seanum How you been?02:03.89AndrewDude, I've been good.02:04.43SeanHow's life?02:06.32Andrewum We are working on a pivot for Metamonster. i am becoming, I'm embracing the fully AI-pilled by boy life.02:10.74SeanOK.02:18.71SeanOK.02:18.81Andrewum i still love Mexico. Yeah.02:23.66SeanGood.02:26.68Andrewyeah02:28.11SeanOK, can you tell me, can you just tell me what you're pivoting to before I like rip my hair out? Because I really need you to build some features at the moment.02:35.48AndrewSo it's I call it a pivot part somewhat facetiously. um02:39.31SeanOK.02:40.45Andrewwe're We're not really pivoting, like the tool is still going to work the same way it does now, um but we're going deep on content optimization.02:46.03SeanCool.02:51.03AndrewSo we're building we're building a single page view where you can still update metadata, but we also do SERP analysis and content recommendations for you and help you auto apply them.03:04.79Andrewum And so we're we're going to be adjusting our positioning to more directly take on ClearScope and Surfer. um03:15.96Seanand air ops.03:16.09AndrewSo the Yeah, air ops a little bit. I think of air ops as a little bit different. I think of air ops more as content orchestration, um like generate content at scale, whereas we're more content optimization.03:30.78AndrewSo like take your existing content or like new pieces of content and help you optimize it. Yeah.03:38.01SeanSick.03:39.39AndrewYep.03:40.43SeanCool.03:40.44Andrewum03:41.18Seanis Is this like a like like an editor that I'm writing in? And then, OK, cool. And then you can publish the web flow.03:49.05Andrewah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.03:50.40SeanOh, good, good, good, good.03:50.74AndrewTotally, totally.03:52.44SeanYou should do it.

It's like a bubbly thing, sounding thing.00:52.18SeanOh, mine is a ding.00:54.12AndrewNo, maybe maybe the bubble is something else.00:54.20SeanMine is like a shark.00:56.16AndrewI don't know.00:56.88SeanThe bubble is like when you send a message.00:56.97Andrewsome Somebody. Oh, maybe. Yeah.01:00.56SeanYeah. Yeah.01:01.36AndrewYeah. Dude, did you get any sleep last night? We were chatting at like 1.30 a.m.01:09.48AndrewSecret pod.01:13.37SeanYeah. I still have like three hours. It's not that bad.01:17.44AndrewMan, that's so much sleep. what You must be wide awake fucking alert.01:21.96Seanyeah Well, I was going to ask you if you had any sleep last night, but you know.01:33.12AndrewI actually didn't fall asleep until like 3, 4 a.m., something like that.01:33.70SeanYeah,01:38.72AndrewI have a new favorite Dropout show. can't you You know Dropout, right? We've talked about Dropout.tv, best streaming service the internet.01:44.46Seanyeah, yeah. Yeah, college humor.01:49.32Andrewon the internet01:52.82SeanOh,01:52.96Andrewuh they have a it's not a new show i've but i i was finally catching up uh what is it called the parlor room where it's like a they played board comedians played board games and you watch so it's like right up my fucking alley i'm cursing a lot today sorry02:05.75Seancool.02:07.93SeanNice. It's okay. It's because don't have any sleep. I get it.02:13.93SeanUnlike me, who slept a lot.02:18.89Andrewuh have you ever heard of blood on the clock tower02:21.94SeanNo, no, no,02:22.83AndrewIt's like a deception game, kind of like mafia kind of vibes, but more complicated and there's, it looks really fun. The thing that makes it, I think, complicated is like the players, the roles that players get can change every time.02:37.96AndrewAnd you, there are multiple players who can have roles where they think they're one thing, but they're actually something else. They're getting, false information.02:44.69Seanno.02:46.28AndrewSo you can be the marionette, which is like you're controlled by like the big bad. You can be a drunk. You can also like get poisoned or something. And then there's like so there's all this stuff where you're like trying to piece things together, but you have to also consider the fact that you might have incorrect information.03:08.46Andrewlike the stuff you think you know about yourself might be wrong. It's chaotic as hell.03:12.93Seanthat's pretty cool that's pretty yeah that's pretty cool interesting okay that's it every time i hear deception game and i hear like mafia i kind of roll my eyes and internally just because i can't like there's there's just so many you know there's just so many of this like but but i think i think that's a nice that's like a03:14.95AndrewSuper fun. Yeah.03:25.54AndrewSure.03:29.61AndrewI know.03:35.68Seanan Actually, interesting spin on it.03:35.71Andrewyeah Some of them are a lot better than others.03:37.95SeanYeah.03:37.98Andrewlike kuup is pretty fun. Secret Hitler is pretty fun. Generally I don't love deception games though because I like i hate lying, I'm a terrible liar.03:47.70AndrewBut my strategy is usually just to be as chao like as chaotic and suspicious as hell even when I'm not the the like person so that that way if I do get the like big bad, everyone's just like Andrew's just being Andrew, he's just an idiot.03:55.67SeanI see.04:02.77Andrewlike Ignore him.04:03.10SeanNice. Nice.04:05.49Andrewi have to like access access because i know i'm going to access when i'm uh actually in trouble04:13.25Seanit's like It's like the opposite of like just always pretending you're bad at lying. So everyone thinks always telling the truth.04:22.08Andrewit's kind of the same thing it's kind of the same thing ...
