@n0crypt @jorgemanru I think ECS priorities memory layout more so there’s actually no indirection in terms of memory access in contrast to this pattern where everything is behind a pointer. I guess in terms of polymorphic types and the idea of traits behavior it’s pretty similar

• no coding required
• $5k prize
• 4 hours followed by happy hour networking

if you're tired of monkey work like financial modeling and emails, or gpt doesnt really do anything for you:

DM me AUTOMATE to attend

@FarzaTV Been thinking about it a lot with remotion

[Mark Zhang @markintoshz]

Been using Cursor for 6 months, just realized it's better for writing than coding.

Agent mode >> GPT/claude + Canvas

Drafted our whitepaper in 2 hours, turned it into a pitch deck that's better than what we spent 2 weeks on.

Raising tomorrow. Will report back.

@iScienceLuvr Try out https://t.co/OYt8Dt9SQJ, which is like agentic Zapier.

Just connect a Gmail agent to a GSheet agent or put them in an agent swarm.

Hot take on MCP: It is a toy protocol.

It has value in

✅ community-maintained data connector layer

But

❌ no multi-tenancy
❌ no/poor authorization mechanism
❌ poor installation + setup experience

Who got fixes?

UNC hit me with this: chaos breeds the future. Thankful for a room that drove Pathlit forward.

[Mark Zhang @markintoshz]

Chapel Hill’s sharpest minds hijacked our demo—and we loved it. Flew into UNC earlier this week, and they jumped from their seats when we turned ideas into reality in 60 seconds.

[Mark Zhang @markintoshz]

We had a script, but their curiosity flipped it into a Q&A-driven session—turning the demo into our wildest, most electric run yet. Hands down my favorite Pathlit moment.

@emilyzsh @CherrilynnZ I remember building something similar in nature back in the gpt-3 days haha. Nicely designed product!

[Mark Zhang @markintoshz]

@D4vPool @elonmusk That’s an interesting idea 🤔 We built a mobile email client at Pathlit that does something similar

[Mark Zhang @markintoshz]

@_advay_ 5. Returns and Exchanges: Pivoting our product focus back and forth for the third time this quarter 😅

[Mark Zhang @markintoshz]

Myth: AI will replace human jobs.

Truth: AI like Pathlit gives you more time to do the human parts of your job better.

Launch in 6 days. Let's bust more myths together. #AIMyths #Pathlit

@mayakyler Hi! I am building a voice-first mobile email client.

Literally just made my first twitter/X post an hour ago to build a following haha.

Love to connect!
