Big announcement on The Panel Podcast today! Join us for it live in 10 minutes: www.youtube.com/live/sxASjnz...

If you've been a listener of any of my podcasts, you won't want to miss today's announcement. 2 hours.

My tasks board for my @openclaw agents is much more useful when grouped by agent, showing each agent's queue of scheduled/recurring tasks. The status view (todo/doing/done) is there too, but not as useful here. Just build your own tools.

You wont want to miss this one!

Whoa this video went wild on YT this week 👀

Setting up OpenClaw with a multi-agent "team" has been... a process. Question after question to figure out. Some technical, some strategic. I detailed it all in today's video. youtu.be/bzWI3Dil9Ig

Good morning

Saturday listen: Delton 3030

I built 3 not-simple apps: - A multi-agent OpenClaw dashboard - A voice notes / markdown file manager - A content feed reader In 3 days. 👀

Putting an Agent Team to work in Claude Code today...

The Builder Methods Pro library has been growing so I gave it a refresh. Now easier to navigate into the series: - The Claude Code Course - Builder Stories (builders share their screens!) - Project ride-alongs.

Tip: Run /statusline to customize your Claude Code status line. Mine has: - Project name + current branch. - Context window %

Started an app yesterday (finishing today) called BrainDown. One of my favorite names to date.

Shipped an update to Design OS today. Improvements: - Much faster AI design workflow (without sacrificing steps or quality). - Optimized the hand-off so that Design OS gives your coding agent the frontend UI layer, less prescriptive on backend. buildermethods.com/design-os

New behavior I noticed in Claude Code: If I give it a big task, it sometimes enters plan mode on its own and makes a plan. I like it.

"Today's builders understand that the value we bring has moved to the bookends: the up-front thinking and the final push across the finish line. The messy middle — the grunt work of implementation — is where AI thrives (if we let it)." – @briancasel.com

First few days impressions of Opus 4.6: Same excellent performance as 4.5. Most noticeable improvement is it recognizes my intent faster, with fewer iterations to get there. Instead of 4-6 drafts, we get to something shippable in 1-2.

Hundreds of builders in the community. 20+ hours of workshop recordings. 50+ hours of video lessons. Monthly live Q&A sessions. Claude Code training. If you're a builder, we're waiting for you inside Builder Methods Pro. buildermethods.com/pro

Live in 15 mins!

Meet my crew. 🦞

Took me a minute to see the use-case (I don't need it to read my email or make restaurant reservations). But I get it now. It'll be my first (true) AI employee that plays a real role in our operations. Mac Mini arrives today (not into the vpn idea). openclaw.ai

Many jobs-to-be-done can (and probably should) be built as simple agent skills. It's often better than buying an off-the-shelf SaaS or even vibe-coding your own app. 👀

Writing, like code, is easier to ship now. Still need original ideas. A point of view. Taste. Voice. But you don't need to toil over getting the first words on the page anymore. And yes, you can still publish things that are authentically you.

For years I couldn't make a weekly newsletter stick. So many half-baked drafts trashed because I didn't have time to get what I wanted to say into a shippable state. Now I don't miss a week:

How many tokens have been spent on LLMs tripping up on Rails 8 auth defaulting to naming the column 'email_address' instead 'email'?

Agent OS v3 is out. Legacy codebases are a challenge in AI development. Your agents can scan your files, but not the knowledge and decisions baked in between the lines. Agent OS enhances (doesn't reinvent) what Claude Code does well. New video & docs here: buildermethods.com/agent-os

There are so many "one-off" mini-app builds we can just spin up now, on demand. Instead of a traditional slide deck, why not an interactive presentation as an app? Instead of a written proposal, why not an interactive pitch + buy button?

Agent OS v3 strips 70% of its codebase and somehow is even more useful now—especially for working in legacy codebases into 2026. Releasing this week.

Claude Code live questions session is on tomorrow for Builder Methods Pro members. You in? (the discount code is still good 👇)

My new productivity system: 2 deadlines per day. Ship something by lunch. Ship something by dinner. I think I'm 50x more productive when food is on the line. 😅

"You clearly aren't trying to chase the algorithm." True. Also, turns out the algorithm tends to like that 😊

Join us live today. Should be a good catch-up with Jordan!

When I started Builder Methods last year, I thought I'd be navigating the shift to AI alone. Turns out, thousands of builders wanted the same thing — training and community, no hype. Rewrote and refreshed buildermethods.com for 2026.

Clipboard history is especially useful when prompting AI all day. So many screenshots in there! Also added keyboard shortcut to CleanShot's scrolling capture feature for long page screen grabs, which I drop into prompts and specs constantly.

2 Raycast keyboard shortcuts I'm way too late to have in my life: - Text snippets - Clipboard history

A muscle worth building for better prompts: Frame your feedback around the end result, goal, or emotion you want to get to, with whatever you're building or creating. Avoid micro-directing specific changes and how to make them.

The real game changer: ⌘ + → takes you to the end of a line in a Claude Code prompt now.

Today's project: "Hiring" a video production manager.

Spent way too much time building a system for generating on-brand illustrations for Builder Methods, whenever and wherever I need them.

New course: Build with Claude Code Not a user manual. It's practical, workflow-focused training on how professional builders actually use it. Included in Builder Methods Pro. Early access is open now (with $100 off). Kicking it off with a live AMA on Jan 20. buildermethods.com/pro/claude-c...

Armchair quarterbacking someone else's business is not helpful. You can't possibly have more actionable information than the founder does--primarily their motivations and priorities.

We're going live (3pm ET) for the first panel podcast episode of 2026. @justinjackson.ca talking predictions, new product's we're working on and... www.youtube.com/live/681hQAX...

Put blackout shades on all the bedroom windows. Huge sleep improvement. Also, apparently I snore now.

You can just build things.

Claude just told me it's bedtime.

The best designers are exceptional systems thinkers, which makes them dangerous product builders in 2026.

2025 was like the first season of a sci-fi show: Just there to orient us in this weird new world. 2026 is season 2, when the story really gets going.

This was my first use of Design OS on a real, shipped app. Took about 7 work days start-finish. Smoothest design- to-build process I've done yet. Full walkthrough of the process is available inside Builder Methods Pro.

Reading every response is impossible. Missing important ones is expensive. So I built InboxSummaries: It reads my incoming surveys, etc. and surfaces insights, trends and opportunities I'd otherwise miss. Using it daily now. Should I open it up? inboxsummaries.com
