@BhosalePratim@patloeber@twilio This bums me out so much to hear after being there for 9+ years fighting for devs. There's many other companies that have great onboarding, i.e. @ExaAILabs's new user sign up (very prompt-driven), @resend, @typesafeai is great too, and @AssemblyAI (I'm biased on that one though)
I read this and I'm terrified, the situation seems intractable.
In the python ecosystem alone every cpython install, venv, UV is at risk.
Don't get my started on npm, pnpm, yarn, go, rust.
My current 2026 security posture: stay home and only connect to the internet from a trusted ISP.
The winter is coming.

Pi is one of the coolest projects in the AI world today. I'm on their team. Giving developers and companies choice of model, control over the runtime, data, skills, plugins… Excited to have great support on @vercel:

@martschweiger@marclou@denk_tweets drama aside, competition is good! A lot of the ills of software and other industries would be smoothed over for customers if there were more companies trying to solve the same problems
@kevinwhinnery How about a Slack bot? Or that wouldn't work because you need immediate answer back. So like user support agent you can say "connecting you to an agent" while it's spinning up but with a Slack bot/integration you expect an answer ASAP?
Saying software is dead because everyone can create it with agents is like saying movies are dead because billions of ppl have a high res video camera in their pockets
Movies doing better than ever+more ppl make a living from videos, movies, TV than ever
(Analogy from @simonw)
@philnash They can be, I'm not dismissing all of them! Especially if they are hands-on with the tools so they have actual experience. But if they've taken a bunch of money from different companies they often say increasingly unlikely stuff that is detached from reality to get clicks
If you're building (or rebuilding) a developer onboarding experience in 2026, make it what I call "grab-and-go friendly."
Make two things ridiculously easy to find:
1. An API key
2. A prompt I can hand to my coding agent
That's it.
Introducing Gemini 4 Argon, our new frontier model, rolling out to cyber defenders starting today, and more widely as soon as possible. I am really excited by the progress we have made here. Argon is priced at $2 in and $10 out during introductory pricing!
