“For developers and founders, the lesson is straightforward. […] Build at the platform layer or build internal leverage. If you want to sell SaaS, make sure it is vertical, deeply integrated, and ROI-proven. Everything else will get commoditized.” mehmetmhy.com/posts/barbel...

“Almost all bad strategies basically come down from a willful disbelief in what [the] accurate diagnosis is, which means then your guiding policies are kind of incoherent to begin with.” - Will Larson www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9ft...

“When you use AI, I desperately need you to acknowledge, for the sake of the unvoiced: These conjured artifacts of value, generated at your will as if by magic, presently comes from a technology wholly premised on the non-consensual extraction and subsequent erasure of past labor.”

Using AI to write the SQL to build out complex / large scale multi-table testing scenarios is a huge time saver.

The spec development flow of kiro.dev is excellent - Requirements, Design, and Tasks. Makes tweaking the plan straight forward (and a better experience than parsing through a chat log in the side bar). A few bugs (i.e. can't start tasks from editor occasionally) but otherwise very effective!

Ableton Note is a slick app for sketching musical ideas. Hard to believe how much functionality they packed in there. And sending to Ableton Live just works.

I’m riding up a steep technical single track and break stride to let an e-bike buzz past. Different values.

Wedged a ride in between projects today.

Came across this comment in a mobile app discord (not bolt.new's). It succinctly captures this moment in time.

🚨 Big news! We’ve been collaborating with the legendary @tannerlinsley.com and the TanStack team to build something new: TanStack DB — a reactive, normalized, transactional state engine that extends TanStack Query.

Our 6yo used momentum correctly in a sentence... I think kindergarten is different these days.
