精选理由

YC老板说把工作流程写成Markdown文件再挂个定时任务,AI就能当员工天天干活,一次干对。想用AI放大个人效率的可以听。

AI 摘要

YC总裁Garry Tan在a16z播客中提出“tokenmax”概念,主张创始人应在单次请求中加载80万至100万token。他将可复用的任务流程封装为Markdown文件加代码和测试,再放入cron定时任务。Tan认为这样的Markdown文件相当于一名永不失误、可无限次执行的员工。他强调小团队借助AI能实现过去400人团队的效果。

Garry Tan says AI enables a single markdown file to act like an employee: "If you really want to tokenmax, you have to use something like Hermes Agent or OpenClaw... let me load a million tokens or 800,000 tokens into any given request." "For a CEO or a founder, it actually makes a lot of sense to do that, and you have to give yourself permission to tokenmax in that way. What you get is, you get to live in 2028 today." "You do some feat of strength, and then you turn it into a markdown file plus code plus tests that can be reused and put into a cron job." "A markdown file is an employee. It's an employee that will do the job perfectly every single time, and it'll do it as many times as you want." @garrytan @illscience Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter a16z @a16z Garry Tan on YC, First Principles Thinking, and Progress in the Age of AI Silicon Valley's advantage is that it gives weird, ambitious outsiders permission to try, find one another, and become insiders through building.
