I just published “Scaling Engineering Teams” https://t.co/8AhPhyW52f

Love to hear it! Find anything exciting?!

[Olivia Fu @olivy2333]

@AntiFreeze Congrats on launching! I installed it, and it works really smooth 😎

[Seth Blank @AntiFreeze]

Thanks @thisiskp_ ! We hope people love it!

Ever wonder what your claude is actually doing?

"Spotlight by Backplanes" reads your Claude Code and Codex sessions to give you session reports that help you get recursively better.

They're live on PH today - check em out👇

1 million percent yes! The sheer number of new places people do work in the dark is astounding! And it's more than the mistakes, it's also the things they do in one place to save time, that don't get replicated elsewhere. So much we should be able to see and learn from!

[James Cham @jamescham]

@AntiFreeze Makes sense! Keeping people from mistakes on Cowork is a real problem! (And then imagine Google Spark…)

[Seth Blank @AntiFreeze]

@jamescham Not yet, but it's on our shortlist! Cursor is our #1 ask right now, with Cowork on its heels.

[Seth Blank @AntiFreeze]

We asked Claude to fix one file. It read 47, including the SSH keys.

Spotlight reads your Claude Code + Codex sessions and shows you what actually happened: what to fix, what's burning tokens, what's worth reusing. Free.

Today, @lightspeedvp is announcing that we’re leading a $35M Series A in @pika_labs, the company that’s redesigning the entire video-making and editing experience with AI.

Founded by @demi_guo_ and @chenlin_meng, Pika is making it possible for anyone to create high quality video through their state-of-the-art video model and creation platform, both of which launch today.

Check out the below video (featuring an animated @elonmusk) to see why Pika's model and product are so mind blowing, and why we're so excited to partner with this team, alongside existing investors @natfriedman, @danielgross, @eladgil, and more.

I’m going to share with you all something I shared with someone on an advisory call this week:

Stop rewarding the academic theater of PM best practices.

I’m tired of folks thinking you put insights into a magical PM framework and a great business spits out the other end.

15 min meeting: psychopaths

30 min meeting: worst of all worlds, both too long and too short

45 min meeting: you just f'd up my calendar

60 min meeting: seriously? a meeting? for an hour?

[Charity Majors @mipsytipsy]

I have ranted about the absurdity of the term "full stack engineer" (I mean, show me the web dev who also writes their own device drivers 🙄) but I'd like to recant.

Annoying it may be, but it's the term we've got to describe the most significant shift in eng roles since devops.
