iPhone Duo ships Oct 23.

Introducing — the iPhone Duo Live Browser Simulator.

https://t.co/c25IXEwI9Q

Every website looks fine — right up until it folds.

See your site render on the iPhone Duo before your users do across all the new aspect ratios and viewports (folded / unfolded) — no install needed!

Brought to you by the team that built the most popular DESIGN.md generator (~78K DESIGN.md markdowns generated)

Test away!

Before AI rewrites your legacy code, here's the approach we'd take.

1. Lock today's behaviour
Write tests for what the code does now, weird edge cases included. Don't fix anything yet. These tests are your contract.

2. Find out why
Every odd branch, magic number or special case gets a question for the person who knows the system. Write the answers down next to the code.

3. Plan in slices
Break the rewrite into pieces that ship on their own, each with its tests and a way to roll back.

4. Run old and new side by side
Same inputs into both. Review every difference before the old path goes away.

Fortune reported that Cisco gave one engineer unlimited AI tokens for a legacy rewrite. Unlimited tokens speed up step 4. They don't help with step 2.

Who holds that history on your team?

Give our founder a follow!

[Aram Melkoumov @arammelkoumov]

I'm 40. 6x founder, born in Armenia, raised in Canada, now based in Barcelona.

CEO of @crowdlinker. 15 years in tech, 100+ products shipped, and lately building AI agents for PMs and finance teams.

Looking to connect with more founders, product people & AI builders!

Thank you @claudeai for the gracious resets. Loyalty pays off.

Our team has 2 Fable resets and 1 Full reset.

This is the playbook every business should be running today.

Baseline before you route:
- log a week of agent steps
- tag each one routine or hard
- note cost and answer per step
- replay routine ones on an open model, compare

Gartner analysts say 9 in 10 steps are routine.

What are you burning your routine tokens on right now?

@GEATalent What's your favourite capability we offer?

[Crowdlinker @crowdlinker]

DesignMD, a product from our venture studio, shipped six releases in two weeks.

You can now start from 90+ real sites, edit a design system by asking, and use DesignMD from inside Claude, Cursor and VS Code.

One post each:

Quick audit we'd run on every dev machine:
- which extensions and AI plugins are installed
- are versions pinned
- do AI config files get code review

Why now: a tampered Claude Code extension sat in Cursor's marketplace for ~11 hours on Oct 29.

What's missing on this list?

@askwhykartik Don't forget https://t.co/fHzsKsxe3p!

6. The Figma plugin now works both ways

The new Document this file tab turns your variables, styles and components into a DESIGN.md. 8 credits, charged only if it succeeds.

Anthropic's S-1: its cloud suppliers also sell competing AI models. We'd keep a second model tested on any AI build.

[Crowdlinker @crowdlinker]

We'd split any AI bill by feature first. One team found a background feature at 16.4% of spend, against a vendor average of about 2%.

Could your app move to a new host in a day? A platform popular with vibe coders shuts down Dec 31. We'd check backups and key rotation this week too.

Only 18% of 300 security chiefs surveyed say they verify an AI agent's identity before it acts. We'd give every agent its own account and only the access its job needs.
