Building beautiful software @Notion, formerly @Shortwave @Firebase @Google @Microsoft

[Raphael Schaad @raphaelschaad]

Spilling some beans 🤫 This very startup is actually looking for their first design engineer:

https://t.co/0wCaTeN0Av

It's an incredible opportunity, owning the product design end-to-end. They've identified that great design is essential for them.

Funnily, I've told the founder to *not* look for a "design engineer." I told him, the most cracked product designers are all AI-pilled and now working with code anyway. If that's you and you're remotely curious, highly rec to get in touch with the founder.

Oh and, did I mention, it's the Firebase founder?!

Introducing: the Notion Developer Platform

New building blocks that help you (and your coding agents) sync any data source, build any tool, and orchestrate any agent.

Today's quality of life improvement in @NotionHQ: draft PRs now have their own distinct visual state to differentiate them from open PRs.

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

FIFA is and always has been a scam organization. It’s a shame such a beautiful game is connected to such an ugly group. The entire ticketing process has misled fans who just want to experience a lifelong dream.

‘Hard to not feel scammed’: World Cup fans say FIFA misled them with ticket allocations, seat maps

The least @elonmusk could do is properly quote tweet creators like @atmoio on his own app so they get paid out for 24M view posts

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Grok will never go to therapy. Never.

Command palettes over chat boxes

I’ve had a side project called Conductor for a couple years now. Different space but I considered https://t.co/TPzb7JbwKd when buying a domain. Still have released nothing. Goes to show that you gotta ship or you’ll end searching for a new name. Good luck to the team. Great name.

[Charlie Holtz @charlieholtz]

Big news for @conductor_build!

We've raised a $22m Series A from Spark and Matrix.

We raised this round from @ilyasu at Matrix, who also led our seed round and is joining our board, @nabeel at Spark, @ycombinator, and founders of Notion and Linear. We're grateful to be working with investors we trust and admire.

Here’s how we got here and where we’re going:

[Ivan Zhao @ivanhzhao]

The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction.
That gets the future wrong. The best things aren’t built alone.
In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for:
— Think Together

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

@transitive_bs Oops 🫣 At least I can assure you the decision wasn't made lightly

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

The internal discourse around naming this new block `header_4` or `sub_sub_sub_header` was my favorite part of this launch. Choosing names that won't shoot you in the foot in a decade is hard. Don't let perfect stop you from shipping.

[Notion @NotionHQ]

Heading 4 is finally here 😤 The years of “just bold the text and pretend” are over.

Rolling out now.

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

@DoneganiJosh Because naming is hard and our forebears did not think far enough into the future

me and my coworkers on twitter:

LLMs unearthing the fact that the average dev is not very good at code review and generally just LGTMs it most of the time

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

@krzyzanowskim Not yet, will give it a try! Looks interesting. Keep cooking.

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

I'm in search of the best agentic development environment. I have recently tried:
- Claude Code (CLI + app)
- Codex (CLI + app)
- OpenCode (CLI + app)
- Intent
- T3Code
- Amp
- cmux
- Superset
- Polyscope
- Constellagent

What else you got?

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

Specs need to be tightly coupled with types

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

Me trying to understand the Vite / Void ecosystem naming. But really, Vite+ looks great and it's awesome that it is open source.

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

@49agents Honestly what a wild UX. Will give this a try. Reminds me a bit of Niri. FYI I had to `cd cloud && npm install better-sqlite3@latest ` to get it working with Node 24.

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

@tanishqk Some cool ideas are coming out of the AI code review wars, but too slow and costly right now for the realtime code pairing I really want

[Jacob Wenger @_jwngr]

@tanishqk Very much agree on the last sentence. Lots of focus on multi-agent orchestration, which is great. But I need help understanding diffs. I want to interface w/ agents at the type system, but am limited to code or chat.
