Ditto sells CRDTs. Atoms does not. Our engineers just use them. So we’re giving our implementation away for free. Introducing Lithium CRDT:

Sort of like Ditto for mesh networking. But 4x more memory efficient for the types of data we sync, 10x faster serialization, and strictly typed. Check it out.

vibecoder asks claude code to build a chat app, gets a working prototype in 20 minutes, immediately tweets "just killed slack and discord"…

brother you don't even know what a distributed system is. you don't know what database replication means. you have no idea how websocket connections behave at scale or what happens when 50k people are online at once and someone's message needs to show up in 200ms across 3 continents

slack has engineers making $300k+ who have spent a decade solving problems you don't even know exist yet. race conditions, eventual consistency, message ordering, presence systems, file storage at scale, search indexing across billions of messages

your app works on localhost with 2 connections. that's not the same thing as "killing slack" that's a college homework assignment

the prototype is maybe 0.5% of what makes these products actually work in production. the remaining 99.5% is infrastructure, reliability, edge cases, and years of iteration on problems that only surface when real humans use your thing at scale

and the worst part is the confidence. "yeah its not perfect but ai one-shotted it, just need to adjust a few things and deploy" - the few things you need to adjust IS the entire product. thats like pouring a foundation and saying you basically built a skyscraper, just need to adjust a few things

ai is genuinely incredible for building tools and prototypes. i use it every day. but there's this weird thing happening where people who have never shipped anything to real users at scale now think the hard part of software is writing the first 200 lines of code

it never was bro

EXCLUSIVE: @travisk says his new company Atoms will expand City Storage Systems' work into "more efficient mines for Earth's industries" and "a wheelbase for robots."

"There's a lot of room for specialized robots that do things in an efficient, industrial-scale way."

[travis kalanick @travisk]

Atoms.

"Go all the way until it hurts. If you're doing something and it's easy, it's not valuable." - @travisk

"If anyone says a strategic thing was easy, I'm like, 'You messed up. You could have gone way further. More competitive advantage. More differentiation. Get it together.'"

Today, @tryprofound is excited to announce our $96M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by @lightspeedvp with participation from @sequoia, @kleinerperkins, @mattevantic, @saga_ventures and @southpkcommons.

When we started Profound 18 months ago, we had two fundamental beliefs about where marketing is heading:

1. Every company will care deeply about how AI talks about their brand.
2. Every marketer will use AI Agents to do their best work, faster.

Those beliefs are becoming reality faster than we imagined.

Now, we serve more than 10% of the Fortune 500 and are the number 1 leader on the G2 grid for AEO.

To double down on that momentum, we’re taking two big swings:

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: AI workers that take marketing teams from concept to execution.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: certifications and cohort-based learning for marketers who want stay at the forefront of AI marketing.

@kevinwildes I had to hear all week long about how Drake Maye was gonna toss 3 TD passes against the Seahawks. Excited to see you enter on a stretcher Monday morning 💀

I love seeing feedback on AI coding tools from companies which get feedback from their engineers, and evaluate tools based on this feedback + usage.

Data from CloudKitchens:
- GH Copilot: widely-used
- Cursor: used
- Windsurf: dropped
- Devin: dropped
- Claude Code: evaluating

🚨 Sandwich Souper Bowl 🏆🥪 🥊

Folks it all comes down to this. David vs. Goliath. Can #BreakfastSandwich, a scrappy underdog all month long overcome #FriedChicken, the powerhouse program yet to be tested? Who will hit the “you can’t see me” 👋🏻 tomorrow PM? #SammySmackdown🏆🗳️

We’re close to our fundraising goal of $5,000 to fight food insecurity in our community.

Help us with the final push!
