When you reach new heights, lower the ladder for more to follow

[Evan Marshall @CoralRelief]

PMs reaching for vibe coding are reacting to the right instinct, but executing it in the wrong layer.
The leverage isn’t in having PMs generate PRs. It’s in having them produce high-quality, constraint-aware specs.

Some news: Move AI was acquired today.

Can't share who acquired us yet (press release coming). What I can say is Move AI is about to be part of what we believe will become one of the biggest home services companies on earth.

To everyone who backed us: my wife Anna, @e14fund, @c10n, Habib Haddad, @pioneer_fund, @taro_f, @StevenEJohnston, @BarronCaster, @CoralRelief, @GraysonPCooper, @anmol_madan, @spenceryang , Carylyne Chan, Daniel Chen, @charleslu1, @jhysum, @mikeyxia, Helen Foo, Blaize Wallace, @pbuick, Eric Delgado, Sunny Mittal. Thank you. You bet on us early and it meant everything.

Quick vacation, then back to it. Staying on with the acquirer to build what's next for a bit.

And on my own time, as a passion project: AI policy in DC. Building this company radicalized me about how much AI is going to disrupt people's lives. Especially focused on labor, and how workers keep real leverage as this tech reshapes their jobs. Feels like the right place to push. If you have energy to help, reach out.

If it's been a while and you want to catch up, I'd love to. Now that I have some breathing room I want to hear what you're up to, or just hang out.

More soon.

@KenjiPhang You could try to use Ito to automate this part

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@SearchDataEng imagine buying a vehicle by only staring at the engine really hard and knowing the spec

@gamalinosqui Looks like this

@gamalinosqui Want to try this automated version of this? ""Adding a screenshot for UI changes builds trust and cuts down on the back and forth""

We offer it to open source for free

@marccampbell Also feels like the human review will be removed from reviewing agent output to reviewing the app evidence that it's working either in a dev container or from photo / video

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@marccampbell I think Github can support this workflow, agentic or human in the loop but there's a final signature after a series of testing

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@LukeParkerDev The bain

definitely need the some test, but nice to trust code review & manual QA to get the LGTM

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@claudeai, is cumin mode working?

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@pachilo This is so funny to me because senior engineers now are devolving to manual review which was never the most fun part of the job

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@backnotprop Appreciate you sharing the team's workflow!

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@SantoshYadavDev Feeling like the review is now moving from syntax to behavioral as the last mile on the agentic loop, especially for larger orgs dealing with collaboration

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@c4rniatto I'm leaning to there being 4 components to PR reviews:
- code (syntax) review
- security review
- behavioral / validation (does the feature match the spec)
- e2e test / ci

It's possible to get an agentic loop on small, well spec bugs that don't require taste, harder on feat

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@housecor Could automate the mocking of these via browser user agents in dev container when PR is opened to test around the change

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@sathaxe how many people did you end up buying pants for?

[Grayson Cooper 🌱 @GraysonPCooper]

@google image search is not nearly as usable anymore.

Searching for images yields compressed images that you have to click through to tik tok, youtube, giphy, etc.
