Built an MD5 brute-force benchmark test using Craby (Rust + C++ TurboModule bindings) to get a perspective on how Rust compares to JavaScript for CPU-intensive work in React Native.
The performance gap is mind-blowing
Everyone’s taking the wrong lesson from this.
Cursor scaled to $29B without traditional PMs because they’re building a developer tool for developers. Ryo can walk through the entire product with engineers because engineers are the customer, the user, and the builder. The feedback loop is immediate and everyone speaks the same language.
That model breaks the second you’re building for non-technical users. Product decisions require understanding customer jobs, translating between technical constraints and user needs, prioritizing across conflicting stakeholder demands, and maintaining strategic coherence as the team grows past 50 people.
Cursor gets away with fuzzy roadmaps and fluid roles because every person in those concentric circles (staff, beta users, early adopters, enterprises) can evaluate a live prototype and tell you exactly what’s wrong. They’re not guessing about user behavior because the users are technical enough to articulate precise feedback.
Most companies don’t have that luxury. Your users can’t code. Your stakeholders don’t understand API latency. Your go-to-market team needs a roadmap that sales can commit to. Your support team needs documentation. Your compliance team needs audit trails.
The Cursor model works when the product is the development environment. For everything else, you need someone translating between what’s technically possible, what’s commercially viable, and what customers actually want. That’s the PM role.
Copying Cursor’s structure without Cursor’s context is how you end up with features nobody asked for and engineers burned out from scope creep.

I’m in Amsterdam this week for Open Source Summit Europe! I’m also doing an amazing panel with superstars Dawn Foster, Stephen Walli, and Leslie Hawthorn , we will be discussing different strategies and challenges on educating the next generation of new contributors.
I spend a lot of my time creating pathways for new contributors that enable them thrive and a path to leadership. If you are at open source summit, you should certainly stop by our panel happening in 30 minutes
Africa’s biggest open source festival by @osca_hq is almost here!
From open source software and hardware to design, dev tools, cloud, security, IoT, AI, and lots more.
🗓️ 15th -16th August

gRPC: Better Than REST? Here’s What You Need to Know
REST is great...
But gRPC? It’s next-level for performance & scalability.
Here’s a complete breakdown of gRPC and when you should use it instead of REST
Repomix. com is an open-source tool that lets you drop in a GitHub repo, and it packs the codebase into a single blob optimized for AI Models. It also shows the token count, you can paste it straight into Grok4 / Grok4 Heavy for analysis or code mods.
