We spent too much time manually adjusting content to print layouts.
If this can be applied to magazine layouts, it would be an absolutely game changer.
Every website you’ve ever used is broken in a way you never noticed and it’s been this way for 30 years...
A Midjourney engineer finally just fixed it.
It’s called Pretext:
A tiny library that lets websites lay out text the way magazines and newspapers do, with text flowing around images, wrapping into columns, and fitting perfectly into any shape, all at 120fps.
This has been basically impossible on the web for 30 years. Every website you’ve ever used relies on the same clunky system from the 90s to figure out where text goes on screen. Pretext bypasses it entirely. 500x faster.
The demos look like they shouldn’t be possible in a browser. Go look.
The Build vs Buy conversation should be happening everyday.
Apps and products are ridiculously easy to build now with AI but does it make sense to build or just buy the final product is still the ultimate question.
Product management is becoming the new bottleneck, according to Andrew Ng.
"I don't see product management work becoming faster at the same speed as engineering. I'm seeing this ratio shift."
He's right. Engineering velocity has maybe 10x'd with AI agents in the last year. Karpathy went from 80% manual coding to 80% agent coding in a few months. Teams can now run code review, testing, documentation, and bug fixes all in parallel.
PM velocity... I think it's maybe 1.5x faster for most people. Research gets done quicker, drafts come together faster, but the core PM work (judgment calls, trade-off decisions, stakeholder navigation) can't be fully automated because it requires organizational context that no model has yet.
And that's why PM is becoming more valuable. When engineering is cheap and fast, the bottleneck moves upstream to "what should we build and why," which is the PM function.
But being the bottleneck and being valuable are two different problems. The fix is building PM agent workflows that match the speed your engineering team now operates at. If your engineers ship in hours and your product decisions take weeks, you're the constraint.
We invited Claude users to share how they use AI, what they dream it could make possible, and what they fear it might do.
Nearly 81,000 people responded in one week—the largest qualitative study of its kind.

We’ve been doing the same at Firecrown with Claude Code and Wordpress. You drop the tool into any project, run an initialization command, and the agent goes to work. It analyzes the code, combs through the Git history, and existing chat logs to create an AI developer. Incredible.
We've been building an internal Claude Code plugin system at Intercom with 13 plugins, 100+ skills, and hooks that turn Claude into a full-stack engineering platform. Lots done, more to do. Here's a thread of some highlights.
i built 31 n8n workflows this month that replace
the most overpriced saas tools businesses pay for.
→ $299/mo email marketing platform — replaced
→ $199/mo social scheduling tool — replaced
→ $149/mo lead scoring software — replaced
→ $99/mo form + crm connector — replaced
→ $249/mo client onboarding system — replaced
total saas spend eliminated: $11,388/year
total time to build all 31: one weekend
i documented every single one in a free pdf.
reply "WORKFLOWS" + repost and i'll send it to you
(must be following so i can dm)
We’ve been doing this using Google Drive as the marketplace.
This makes it tremendously easier to scale usage across divisions.
If you aren’t using Claude to automate repeated tasks, you’re missing out on time saving opportunities
