I’ve been working on a thing. For a while. I’m very, very excited about it. Come check out Great Expectations!

We're excited to introduce Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex agents in Mastra.

Starting today, Mastra is now a meta-harness:

We’re excited to announce today that @mastra has raised a $22M Series A led by Spark Capital.

This brings our total capital raised to $35M:

[Sam Bhagwat @calcsam]

we raised a $13m seed round from 120+ of Silicon Valley’s top investors

for @mastra, the leading TypeScript agent framework

Congrats, @TMobile , after 5+ hours of customer support calls, you have unbroken the cell line that you broke on our first call.

The second line still doesn't work, though.

[Abe Gong @AbeGong]

Wow, vibe coding absolutely does not work for tiptap/Prosemirror extensions.

@isidoremiller How does the orbit chart work?

Hey, @OptimizerAI, I paid for a subscription, but my account is still stuck on Free Tier settings. Only 100 credits; can't download SFX.

What gives?

[Abe Gong @AbeGong]

I'm kinda disappointed every time I get to the end of the month and haven't maxed out my Windsurf credits.

[Abe Gong @AbeGong]

Unit testing is such a good complement to vibe coding.

For the past six months, I haven't checked email directly, but rather have relied on an AI email assistant to triage and draft emails for me

This is an example of an "ambient agent"

We're open sourcing the code today, as well as a hosted version for people to try out

@calcsam @pzakin Hex (https://t.co/0Rodl4z6Tl) is an interesting case study. They're riding that line right now.

[Abe Gong @AbeGong]

@calcsam @pzakin I tend to agree, but it depends on the level of displacement felt by copilot users.

If the agent gives them superpowers---awesome.
If the agent eats their job---very tough transition.

[Abe Gong @AbeGong]

@pzakin And just to be clear, I mean "use chat to instruct the bot how to edit code."

[Abe Gong @AbeGong]

@pzakin Windsurf is the first IDE where I've found chat to be a viable interface.

I haven't used Cursor much. In VSCode, I've found autocomplete to be super useful, but chat isn't usually reliable enough to be worth using.

[Abe Gong @AbeGong]

@pzakin Strong agree. I've been trying out various permutations of this workflow in windsurf, with pretty good success.

@ericmjl This resonates

@andygrove_io @criccomini I'm very much hoping that we can get to critical mass sometime soon.
