[David Boskovic @dboskovic]

we were spending too much time "carrying water" between agents

- here's a spec build it
- address the pr comments
- fix the failing CI

so we made an agent for overseeing the SDLC e2e (Autobuild)

we invited 10 startups to use it last week in SF (NYC next week!)

what it does:
- plans out entire feature builds across dozens of PRs
- oversees the coding agents as they work
- babysits PRs and addresses human and agentic review
- conducts security, performance, and architectural reviews
- QAs the work and records videos of the outcomes
- monitors logs for issues after staging release
- collects ux feedback from humans and address them
- indexes all the concepts in your codebase
- automatically writes updates to your team about what shipped
- knows the current rollout state of features
- maintains running sandboxes with a full dev env
- dogfoods features before reporting success
- engages with you in slack as it builds
- automatically fixes reported issues
- nags you for PR reviews when needed
- optimizes your CI so it's not shit (big bottleneck for velocity)

we're planning on making this the most insane building experience for established companies with a focus on quality/safety and human collaboration while accelerating velocity by 1-2 orders of magnitude

if you want to join us in NYC next week (Thur/Fri - May 7/8) or future workshops lmk - we're onboarding up to 50 companies at a time by helping you ship 12 weeks of roadmap in 2 days - a sort of reset on baseline velocity

no cost to attend beyond the inference you burn (you'll build a lot so not for the faint of heart)

@benjaminakar best merch in the industry

[Drice @driceroland]

Today we’re launching Norma.

A small stainless steel object that blocks distracting apps when you scan it.

I built it because every screen time tool I tried was too easy to disable.

Making the action physical changes everything.

If you're a designer and happen to be in any of these cities on these dates, don't miss the chance to connect with @permanent

[PERMANENT© @permanent]

Two years since starting @permanent. Exciting times.

We’ll be in NY (March 1-7), SF (9-17 March), and LA (19-24 March) to meet our founders and friends and would love to meet some of you, too.

In each city, we’ll be hosting an intimate dinner for designers. Limited seats, but we’d love to have you.

[hugo @hugdcc]

@albertzimtea one of your best works 🫦

@steipete @tembo is unmatched

[Obvious @obvious]

we are officially out of alpha and have started working through our waitlist (❤️ to @AnthropicAI for bumping our limits again today!)

to honor this moment, the many long days, and the many late nights poured into this work these last few months, here's a peek behind-the-scenes

[Celeste Amadon @Celesteamadon]

Known is finally live on the App Store.

San Francisco feels a little different this morning.

For the past few months, we’ve been building a new kind of dating platform for the post-swipe era. 
Known is intentional, designed to get people on real dates.

Love is coming.

@itsalfredw Congrats! 🔥

@niclasernst @permanent @ciaosaba @DavidBielenberg i’ve never worked with more talented designers than @AntoinePlu and @hugdcc and it’s not even close

[niclas @niclasernst]

I’m so proud of everyone at @permanent. When I started my career, I couldn’t have possibly imagined a better outcome. And it’s still so early. Beyond grateful for everyone that’s part of this journey.

@ciaosaba and @davidbielenberg and I go way back. Like, YouTube and Skype community way back. They’ve been along for every step of the way. I barely spoke English when I met Paolo.

@antoineplu was the first person I reached out to when I was building my team at Pipe. We placed @paulfaivret at V7 and eventually he joined us; I couldn’t be more excited to support him in everything that is next. Getting to know @theausarr in the process has been a blessing.

We knew we needed to develop talent when we started this, but no one could have imagined the trajectory that @hugdcc and @albertzimtea would take. Genuinely impressive.

Been trying to get @bollmann0x in the mix for the longest time. Glad we finally did. And I’m beyond excited for what @raghaav will do and achieve.

And of course, couldn’t wish for anyone else but @leonguaiana at my side. The epitome of a people person. None of this would work without him.

We’re very intentional about who we add to this group. Can’t wait for the next few people to become a part of this.

@albertzimtea life starting to feel like a movie
