Sitting in on the @NotionDevs launch watch party in Toronto.
Notion’s docs UI is deceptive — there’s always been a powerful DB platform under the hood.
The new dev capabilities (sync, CLI, managed agents, etc…) crack it open.
“Stripe's marketing org is betting that AI should not be an occasional tool but the default mode for all work.
But they also understand that most employees won't upskill themselves. They'll need someone who is embedded within their teams to build alongside them.”
Stripe just created a role that didn't exist 12 months ago (and they're paying multiple six figures for it)
It's called the Forward Deployed AI Accelerator.
They are hiring AI-native individuals to work directly with their marketing teams to fundamentally change how they work.
Each person will be assigned to a cohort of 20 marketers. Their job is to build custom AI tools and agents and coach each marketer until they are self-sufficient.
Basically, work with marketers until they automate their jobs.

If you are AI-pilled, this is probably the role for you.
And this also gives a clear picture of where every organization within a company is heading.
@MatthewBerman@agentmail https://t.co/P570irjDtm is like https://t.co/sGkm4RlCqN with backend, cron jobs, email, frontend.
Its incredible. You can just build.
@bentossell@FactoryAI Your announcement was the first email I read this morning. Love the transparency + shared journey. Congrats on the new role. Perfect fit. 🤘
🚨 BREAKING: Google just turned Gemini into an AI operating system.
At I/O 2025, they launched a full suite of tools that go way beyond chat.
Here’s what just dropped and it’s wild: 🧵👇
@tomosman@glideapps This was the last piece of advice from my wife!
“Worse than Paris?”
“Worse than Paris.”
Meanwhile in Toronto we’re leaving our laptops lying around on cafe tables without a second thought 😅
I spend a ton of time with Gliders, but talking to users != being a user.
Gotta get in there and build things.
So I swung back into builder mode with @glideapps this week.
Feels good.
Biggest difference from vibe coding? Starting with backend structure, not frontend UX/UI.
@mdcrowcroft@thinking_slow IMO "think like a media company" still resonates
Just gotta think like a better media company than the trash content mills pumping out shlock surrounded by Taboola placements
