@aakashgupta Agreed with all of this until the Gmail search works part. 10yrs of emails and it’s truly awful. Surprisingly the autocomplete search seems to find things that don’t show up when you actually enter the query.
"Not having a coding experience is becoming an advantage."
Replit CEO Amjad Masad:
"You don't need any development experience. You need grit. You need to be a fast learner."
"If you're a good gamer, if you can jump in a game and figure it out really quickly, you're really good at this."
"Coders get lost in the details."
"Product people, people who are focused on solving a problem, on making money, they're going to be focused on marketing, they're going to be focused on user interface, they're going to be focused on all the right things."
"I think this year it's gonna flip, and I think not having a coding background is gonna be more advantageous for the entrepreneur."

Ran it against a large codebase this weekend. Initial thoughts:
1) Took 6hrs to scan 1800+ commits across last 2 months
2) Found 110 issues (35 of them High)
3) After a 2nd analysis by Eng team w/ Opus, about half of them were real (still great)
4) Were able to address most of those quickly with the auto-fix PRs
5) Couldn't figure out a way to share the results with team members; had to scrape and create a separate report.
6) I expected to have >2400 commits -- it still stays "scanning" but I have no logging to see whether it's actually stuck or done . No notifications and only basic progress indicators as it works.
Overall super useful! Would be great to incorporate some of what Shannon does where it logs in and tries to run exploits through that pathway too.
Screening 40 SaaS deals this quarter. Need a live LBO cockpit that ingests raw QuickBooks/Netsuite + KPI dumps, models leverage / returns, and spits out an IC-ready dashboard in one click.
Give me early Orchids v2 access and I’ll share a real case study—ROI, screenshots, within a week.
🚨 Google just dropped Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview (I/O edition) ahead of schedule.
Why? Because it's so good at coding they couldn't wait for Google I/O to release it.
This is an upgrade for how we'll build web apps.
Here's the details 🧵
I've been finally able to create pretty great pitch decks in 30min of work by - loading in all the collateral into an Ephor project, AI-generating the slide content & structure w/ multiple AI's working together into a "superresponse" then pasting into Gamma and fine-tuning the output & graphics.
This didn't work well at all just a few months ago.
