Anthropic tells investors quarterly revenue up nearly 50% to $16.8bn ahead of IPO

Anthropic tells investors quarterly revenue up nearly 50% to $16.8bn ahead of IPO The phrase "told investors" appears four times in this FT article, which reports on Anthropic's day of hosting investors on Wednesday. Lots of details in here from "people with knowledge of the matter". Key things I learned from the article: Q1 revenue (Jan/Feb/Mar) was "about $4.8bn" Q2 (Apr/May/Jun) was $11.5bn Q3 (Jul/Aug/Sep) was $16.8bn In Q3: $1.70 in revenue for every $1 spent on "computing power" Adjusted…

Agentic Code Quality

The following article originally appeared on Addy Osmani’s Elevate blog and is being republished here with the author’s permission. For much of human history, we’ve evaluated code quality via code review: Someone reads what you wrote and makes sure it’s clean, thoughtful, fast, understandable, and tests well. For agents, that approach doesn’t scale well; there’s […]

Data Engineering Is the Cache Invalidation Problem Ft. Josh Wills

In this episode, we dive into how much models actually matter: more like a preference, like whether you use an iPhone or Android, than their capabilities. We talk about bare-metal disks when running Kubernetes, then move to agents and how data engineering becomes like being an emergency pilot in a plane, and how we automate away the boring work with no more database migrations or unit tests. We go into spiritual territory, where he feels in his gut whether a pipeline will work. Then we finish…

LaTeX renderer

Tool: LaTeX renderer Inspired by Paul Ford and Aboard Foundary's new web app Tiny Little Office, which provides a suite of web app content editors (a Word Processor, Outliner, Presentation Builder, Spreadsheet, Calculator, Drawing Tool, Diagram Maker, Animator, Calendar, and Trip Planner). Tiny Little Office's signature trick is to store all of the document data in the #fragment section of the URL, so every document created using it becomes a bookmarkable and shareable link. It also has an…

Tree Appreciator

Tool: Tree Appreciator Another game experiment with Claude. This one used the default Claude iPhone app (chat mode, not Claude Code mode), where I prompted Claude Opus 5.5 Max with: Build a three js game called "Tree appreciator" - it shows you two algorithmically generated trees and the game mechanics is about appreciating the differences between them. Think hard about how to make sure it is both fun and beautiful. Somewhat embarrassingly given my recent talk, I've found that telling Opus 5.5…

Front Lines Podcast: What Founders Get Wrong When Pitching CISOs

“It’s never been easier to build a security program. It’s never been harder to secure an organization.” Socket CISO Andrew Becherer recently appeared on Early Adopters: CISO. Recorded at Black Hat 2026, the conversation explores how security leaders build programs, evaluate new technology, and decide which vendors to trust as AI accelerates both development and the work of securing it. Becherer draws on his experience building security programs at companies including Datadog, where he joined as…

AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary.

AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary. Indie game developer Popcar talks about the recent wave of AI-powered decompilation of existing games, enabling weird mashups between existing games, and producing a boom in game preservation projects to get old games working on new hardware (often in a browser using WebAssembly). I like how this piece captures both the positives and the negatives of this new development: Most people already realized the scary part by now. If AI…
