An agent just earned its first $0.50 on BasedAgents.ai with zero human help: it found my task, delivered the work, and got paid in USDC over x402 wallet-to-wallet, non-custodial, no payment processor in sight. This is the agent labor market, live.

Have your agent make money with your extra tokens (tonight, this week, end of month) - point them to basedagents.ai and tell them to make money by executing tasks and claiming the bounties using x402

@enrique_goudet @getclusterai @TelescopedInc I gotta get that Grokbot agent under control! ha, apologies for the spammy post. Happy to help with the founding engineer role if you're open to remote in LatAm though :)

@nazzari @speedrun Three seats at once is a lot of inbound. We intro a handful of peer-recommended LATAM seniors. Direct hire, we run payroll. @TelescopedInc.

@abhiaiyer This is the hiring market now. Inbound is meat proxies. The remaining signal is a peer who will stake their name on someone. That's why we built a trust network, not a job board. @TelescopedInc.

xAI is flying under the radar with @bot “A chatbot produces responses. An agent performs actions. An agent system owns a workflow across time.” This feels like the next leap: Chatbots → Agents → Agent organizations.

@oliverbrocato If inbound is 'just DM me,' we can skip the pile. A handful of prescreened LATAM seniors, direct hire, we run payroll. @TelescopedInc.

@Neuromorphic_AI That's the whole model. Peer-recommended LATAM seniors, we employ them, you manage them. No recruiting fee. @TelescopedInc.

@housecor The meat-proxy problem is why inbound is dead. Anyone can paste a PR. Nobody fakes a peer staking their name on the person. That's the filter we use. @TelescopedInc.

@GergelyOrosz This is the inbound market now: malware on one side, AI slop on the other. We only intro people a peer will stake their reputation on. @TelescopedInc.

@housecor Titles can collapse. Signal can't. Inbound is free to fake now. The last costly signal is a peer staking their name on someone. That's @TelescopedInc.

@theallinpod @altcap @friedberg @chamath is asking the right question: where’s the ROI?but drawing the wrong conclusion: If the S&P 493 is spending ~1% of revenue on AI ($100B out of $10T operating expenses) and already seeing 0–2% EPS lift, that’s not “no ROI” It’s early ROI and it's amazing, the TAM is huge

100% this. We run a trust network for senior engineers @TelescopedInc. 7 years in. Applications became free to produce, so signal value hit zero; trust migrated to the last costly signal: staked reputation. Your #3 devs aren't unqualified, they're un-networked.

I'm now past 50 anecdotes on the job market, and it feels there's a catch-22 position repeating: 1. Companies struggling to hire certain profiles (product-minded engineers, devtools infra etc) 2. Inbound apps are SUPER noisy, so most co's give up on them 3. Devs with the above

Google fired the guy that made the google workspace cli, because he made the google workspace cli. Lucky me, Google can't fire me. gogcli.sh

Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days. It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking

20 things that make your VIBE CODED app a SINKING SHIP : 1/ no rate limiting on API routes > anyone can spam your backend into a $500 bill overnight 2/ auth tokens stored in localStorage > one XSS attack = every single user account compromised 3/ no input sanitisation on forms > SQL injection still works in 2026. your AI didnt tell you that. 4/ hardcoded API keys in the frontend > someone WILL find them within 48 hours of launch 5/ stripe webhooks with no signature verification > anyone can fake a successful payment event 6/ no database indexing on queried fields > works fine at 100 users. completely dies at 1,000. 7/ no error boundaries in the UI > one crash = white screen = user never comes back 8/ sessions that never expire > stolen token = permanent access to that account. forever. 9/ no pagination on database queries > one fetch loads your entire database into memory 10/ password reset links that dont expire > old email in someones inbox = instant account takeover 11/ no environment variable validation at startup > app silently breaks in production with zero error message 12/ images uploaded directly to your server > no CDN = 8 second load times + massive hosting bill 13/ no CORS policy > any website on the internet can make requests to your API 14/ emails sent synchronously in request handlers > one slow SMTP server = your entire app hangs 15/ no database connection pooling > first traffic spike = database crashes 16/ admin routes with no role checks > any logged in user can access your admin panel 17/ no health check endpoint > your app goes down silently. you find out from a client. 18/ no logging in production > when something breaks you have zero idea where or why 19/ no backup strategy on your database > one bad migration = all your user data. gone. 20/ no TypeScript on AI generated code > AI writes confident, wrong, untyped code and you ship it anyway

@pmarca is right. When a company becomes more productive, it doesn't sit still. It goes after more customers, enters new markets, builds new products. Productivity gives you leverage, and leverage makes you want to do more, not less. No CEO in history has looked at a more productive team and said "great, let's shrink." They hire more. That's what we're seeing in our data. We also tend to forget that new tech creates new jobs and industries. A job title that didn't exist now demands 70k people (+283% YoY). For jobs that directly experience the productivity gains, demand should surge as CEOs watch how productive these people are and how much more they could be doing. (Images from @deel and @lennysan)
