Being a parent is wild because you could be in the middle of a mental breakdown and still have to pretend to be dinosaur

This right here is why we invented slow motion replay

Narrative violation: Finding it's more fun to work within Cursor than in the native Codex or Claude Code apps.

Not a massive difference, but just enough to keep me there. And obviously easier to play with new competing models as they come out.

Nice work, Cursor.

I’m entirely convinced that the key to life and happiness is having low expectations for things outside your control and high expectations for things within it.

Just had ground beef and Reese's delivered in 15 minutes by drone to my front yard. What a time to be alive!

Okay wow Anthropic just figured out how to weaponize the billions in enterprise commitments it has locked up

This new marketplace lets companies route their existing Anthropic budget to third-party tools like GitLab, Lovable, Snowflake, Replit, etc...

One contract. Many products. Zero new procurement headaches. This could turn into a pretty big moat that has nothing to do with model quality

Is there a term during marriage for buying an acorn squash every week, throwing it out, and then buying another one for eternity?

hot take: 60% of PM work can be automated right now

and the PMs who can't adapt will be outdated in 2 years

what's already automatable:

PRD writing:

- brain dump → structured PRD
- includes edge cases humans forget
- consistent format
- 30 min → 8 min

meeting notes:

- transcript → action items
- better at capturing who said what
- doesn't forget shit
- 45 min → 5 min

user research synthesis:

- 20 interviews → top patterns
- includes actual quotes
- frequency analysis
- 4 hours → 15 min

competitive analysis:

- scrape competitors → feature comparison
- finds gaps you miss
- weekly updates automated
- 3 hours → 20 min

roadmap prioritization:

- feature list → impact/effort scores
- explains reasoning
- consistent framework
- 2 hours → 25 min

what's NOT automatable:

- vision
- strategy
- stakeholder management
- making final decisions

the math: 25 hours/week → 10 hours/week on execution
leaving 15 hours for actual thinking

my PM friends get defensive about this

"but AI doesn't understand context"

neither do half the PMs i've worked with

adapt or die

this isn't a threat, it's a timeline

One of the best things that can happen to your career is having a good boss, especially in your early years.

When people use the word "juxtaposition" I imagine that beforehand their heart beats really fast and they think "I'm about to say it!"

[Dr. Dominic Ng @DrDominicNg]

By age 18, you’ve already spent ~90% of your in-person time with your parents.

By 30, it’s closer to 95%.

I feel like at this point I've just accepted that I will be paying for ChatGPT, Granola, and Wispr Flow forever (and it's worth every penny!)

I can feel the heaviness of the 1997 through the picture.

Spotify is introducing DMs.

Later this week, users 16 and older will be able to message one-on-one on the app.

[sugarplum @proseluvr]

ironically no sentence has changed the trajectory of my life more than "how lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" and the fact that it's from winnie the pooh makes it even more impactful tbh

they hired the Coldplay singer’s ex-wife lmao
