@mboverell @esthercrawford @nilslice There are dozens of us! I last tried to get a group together with @ilyasu but it was half-hearted. Other folks top of mind at differing stages: @gaganbiyani @hpalan @dodeja @andrewmason

It's a great time to build a product for architecture review boards.

@Mqsley Eventually? Does that suggest everyone will build their own bespoke software and have Devin maintain it? Sounds like an expensive nightmare. On a long enough time frame maybe…

Had a few hours on Sunday so I tried vibe-coding Qualtrics. Honestly, incredible.

Should I ship it?

Before my time at GoDaddy, the company built their own version of Microsoft Word. They killed it within a few years.

Just because you can build all this stuff should you? Are you going to maintain it? Who's going to fix it at 10pm on a Sunday night?

What are you going to be the best at?

What's the German word for when you spend more time doing something with Claude than it would have taken to do by hand?

@scottastevenson Would welcome a similar service for startups: help me make sure we have enough insurance coverage, understand true churn risk, logo usage etc. Such a PITA

Claude using Google Forms for their feedback system...

Reddit is being destroyed by sock puppet accounts asking SEO-bait questions.

"What do you think is the best tool for X? Why is it better than Y?"

Mods are mostly filtering this crap out but man does it get tiresome.

Tragedy of the commons.

Chaos / stability in my life can be measured by how big my stack of periodicals is (aka time for recreational reading), and how long my Wordle streak is (aka time awake at 3am to complete it)

@raphgoldz @weweb_io Congrats on the launch!

I've been writing investor updates religiously every month for the last 5 years. They take about 1-2 hours depending on the month but well worth it for the accountability + feedback loop.

Last month I started writing a skill to automate it and it took about 30 minutes. This week finished the skill and output took 10 minutes.

Still high quality and my own thoughts - it's pulling from Granola recordings, Mixpanel, the Great Question MCP etc - but time savings means I can get it out on the 1st of the month without fail.

@kobyjconrad @tsarnikolas2 Vanta definitely do not. Every audit we go through is a massive PITA.

@danielzarick Long been my dream bike. So many mods you can do. Though as my wife says “dream bigger”

[Ned Dwyer @nedwin]

@BayAreaREMatt Crazy price for that location IMHO

@jonathannen I'm about a week behind the SOTA - still on Cursor. Still plenty of time in the Claude desktop app but again the perf issues are killing me. Will check out Warp and Slalom
