Wrote up something about what I learned at a startup program I went through last month

Used to think real intelligence meant cutting everything else away. Had it completely backwards.

You can usually tell quite easily who's actually sharp vs who just locked themselves in a room and ground out one skill.

@NickADobos Yeah, it's less about replacing GitHub’s social graph, and more about replacing the workflow around it. Agents need issues, branches, and PRs to complete work

@ericzakariasson A public api for flexing all-time token usage on portfolio sites would be sick

[Carlos Manuel Cejas @cmcejas]

Coding agents make @github reliability more important, not less.

The loop is often:

issue -> branch -> PR -> CI -> review -> merge

If that whole loop lives on GitHub, then the agent is only as useful as GitHub is up.

@cursor_ai moving into more of that workflow makes sense.

[Carlos Manuel Cejas @cmcejas]

Composer 2.5 was ridiculously strong for this. @cursor_ai

[Carlos Manuel Cejas @cmcejas]

I vibe-coded a custom CRM for our startup over the weekend before our cold outreach sprint. Every feature is built around how our team actually works.

One-size-fits-all SaaS feels dated when internal tools are this easy to build.

Why pay for software that wasn't built for us?

@notmcrowley Still wondering if they would've succeeded...
