Go @temporalio !!!

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

Massive!!! So amped for this!

[a16z @a16z]

As agents increasingly take action in real-world contexts, durable execution is higher stakes than ever. That’s why a16z is thrilled to lead @temporalio’s Series D.

Temporal is the code execution layer for critical workflows. Leading AI labs and AI-native companies, like OpenAI, Replit, Lovable, and Abridge, all rely on Temporal.

Temporal abstracts away that complexity by handling retries, state management, orchestration, recovery, and replay automatically, allowing developers to focus on business logic instead of the difficult plumbing of huge distributed systems.

For long-running agents operating over extended horizons, the durability that Temporal provides is the difference between a compelling demo and a production system.

There are no two people better-suited to solve this problem than Temporal’s cofounders, Samar Abbas and Maxim Fateev, who have spent their careers at the frontier of distributed systems.

We believe Temporal is defining that layer, and we’re thrilled to partner with Samar, Maxim, and the entire team as they build the execution backbone for software that acts.

LLMs = give you answers.
AI agents = take action.

In 30 seconds, Marcus Merrell from the @saucelabs podcast, Test Case Scenario, explains the difference and why it matters for the future of automation.

Happy Pi Day

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

Why did the boat start smoking?

Pier pressure.

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

For @SeleniumHQ developers, every feature has to work across five languages. AI helps bridge the gap, but the real game-changer? A shared language that makes moving across the codebase seamless.

The best teams don’t just write better code. They make it easier to work together.

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

How do you get an astronaut's baby to go to sleep?

You rocket.

Is AI being used as a shortcut for quality?

👉 Do you trust AI to test your code?

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

The real obstacle to AI revolutionizing development? Us.

Are we bold enough to rebuild processes and make AI a true collaborator?

Can we ditch the fantasy of "one tool to rule them all" and embrace smarter, leaner AI teamwork?

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

AI tools promise to revolutionize everything, but are they making us smarter or lazier?

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

AI was seen as a potential means to revolutionize developer productivity, but the 2024 DORA report tells a different story...

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

AI was hyped as the big solution to developer productivity, but the 2024 DORA report paints a different picture.

Our full conversation coming tomorrow..

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

Depending on who you ask, ChatGPT is either a game-changer or just an incremental upgrade.

Here’s the real question, though.

Are we celebrating meaningful progress or are we just too dazzled by small wins to demand true innovation?

[Jason Baum @JasonEBaum1]

Is AI development living up to the hype, or are we stuck in a loop of promises without delivery?
