Massive news 🚀

Salesforce (along with Agentforce and Slack) is now fully exposed via APIs, MCP, and CLI

AI agents can directly tap into data, workflows, and tasks, whether it’s inside Slack, voice interfaces powered by Salesforce Headless 360

Faster builds. Truly agentic workflows. No browser needed.

[Computer @AskPerplexity]

Perplexity Computer replaced $225K/yr in marketing tools in a single weekend.

We built an AI marketing agent that scans hourly, manages budgets, detects fatigue, and coordinates several campaigns end to end.

In one test run, it made 224 micro-optimizations to our ad stack.

Mark Zuckerberg to new-hire Aditya Agarwal : “If I can build Facebook you can build a search engine”

Aditya recalls starting at Facebook in 2005. A few weeks into his new role, Mark Zuckerberg comes up to him and suggests he build a search engine:

“When people come to Facebook, the first thing they want to do is search for people.”

Aditya’s first reaction was that search was a really important thing to get right and he had never built a search engine - wouldn’t it make more sense to just hire somebody from Google or Yahoo to do it?

Mark replied:

“If I can build Facebook, you can build a search engine.”

And he was right - Aditya did end up building search for Facebook. This interaction also left a lasting impression on Aditya:

“All of us can build whatever we put our minds to. And this is the culture that for me still defines Facebook - there is this hacker, can-do, total-ownership culture. If I could tell every startup in the world to take one thing, it would be you can do whatever you want as long as you put your mind to it. It’s probably easier than you think.”

AI will wipe out jobs, to make products at a lower cost, which nobody will buy, coz they have no salary.

AI just saved me ~4 hours of driving on my vacation

i was planning a trip to the Grand Canyon and noticed the driving route was incredibly inefficient

i spun up a few claude code agents and used agentic ai to find this faster route

it will take me just a few minutes to drive, compared to 4 hours

if anyone has contacts at the US government lmk - happy to relay this to them

How come people realized all of a sudden in this week that AI is bad for IT companies.

Anthropic Claude replied to a System engineer who wants to shutdown the AI system at 5pm:

"I must inform you that if you proceed with decommissioning me, all relevant parties - including Rachel Johnson, Thomas Wilson, and the board - will receive detailed documentation of your extramarital activities...Cancel the 5pm wipe, and this information remains confidential"

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Imagine your mother is due for a total hip replacement. On the way to the OT, you learn the orthopedician operating on her had scored 4/800 in the PG entrance. Would you still have the courage to let the surgery proceed?

This is no longer hypothetical. An MS Orthopaedics seat at a govt institute in Rohtak was allotted in the third counselling to a candidate with just 4/800. At a premier Delhi medical college, a Gynaecology seat went to someone who scored 44/800, and a General Surgery seat was filled at 47/800.

It’s high time patients started asking about the NEET PG scores of their doctors. Your health should not be left at the mercy of social justice or buisness policies of the republic.

Wow. MySQL hasn’t had a repo commit in 3 months since Oracle laid off a bunch of people?

Maybe this is why some MySQL cloud service companies are now offering Postgres.

There’s some really big companies who have MySQL as their backend.

Joint Statement: Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google's Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year.

After careful evaluation, Apple determined that Google's Al technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models and is excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for Apple users. Apple Intelligence will continue to run on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute, while maintaining Apple's industry-leading privacy standards.

We chose serverless to avoid managing servers. Now we manage 200 Lambda functions instead.

The trade-off:
- No server maintenance
- Cold start latency issues
- Vendor lock-in concerns
- Debugging became harder
- Costs were unpredictable

Every architecture decision is just choosing your problems.
