Came back to my X account after 10 years.

It was Twitter back then. Now it’s X. The algorithm, the community, everything has changed.

Looking to connect with people in tech, developers, AI, product, startups, anyone building or learning.

If you have good tech accounts to recommend or just want to say hi, reply below.

Starting again.

Buzz Plugins Megathread

Of all the new updates in Buzz, the most significant is plugins.

Plugins is a solution to the age old Microsoft line: that people only use 5% of the product features, it's just not the same 5%.

We don't think about Buzz as a product or even as an agnostic agent platform. We think of it as a network harness: many teams, any agent harness, each working it's own way, all connected.

For that to work, every team needs sovereignty over it's own corner. Your workflows, your tools, your rules. You shouldn't have to bend how you work to fit buzz. Buzz should fit you.

Plugins make that possible. You decide what Buzz does, how it behaves, and what it connects to. Nobody have to approve it, and you don't have to wait on a roadmap. Because every team's setup still plugs into the same network, what one team builds can make every other team better.

Our mission is to unlock as much of your teams potential as possible. With plugins you get the keys to the kingdom. The only limit is your imagination.

We will be coming out with a plugin marketplace at one point until then feel free to send examples to @buzzdotxyz and we will share the best of them in this thread.

Anyway lets check out some of the plugins that's already been built.

5 powerful ideas from a book can be more useful than 50 pages you quickly forget.

Write down what stands out.

Capture the lessons that challenge your assumptions or offer a better way to approach something.

Your notes become a personal collection of ideas you can return to whenever you need them.

Do you take notes while reading, or trust your memory to do the work?

Tonight’s code word: @Cloudflare

I'm going all in on @Cloudflare. Migrating as many of my services over to there as possible.

The deciding factor: their excellent MCP. Honestly this has made my life so much easier that any service without one this good will be left behind.

Domains: Moving everything from Squarespace
Storage: Moving everything from S3
Email: Moving from Sendgrid (Keeping one project on @loops)
Workers: Moving a bunch from Heroku/Render

Plus more. Excited.

30 minutes of focused reading can be more valuable than 3 hours of distracted page-turning.

Don't read just to finish a book.

Read to understand an idea, discover a new perspective, or solve a problem you're facing.

The goal isn't to count pages. It's to take something meaningful away.

Do you read to finish books or to learn something new?
