Most PMs are still prompting agents. The job is shifting to designing the loops that do it for you.

Loop engineering means you design a system that finds the work, hands it to an agent, checks the output, and decides what's next. You define the goal and the stopping condition. Your job shifts from operator to architect.

You stop crafting prompts for every task and start designing the environment the agent operates inside: the context it starts with, the verification criteria it runs against, the memory it carries between sessions, and the evals that tell you whether the output actually met the bar you set.

The catch: a loop running unattended is also a loop making mistakes unattended. The PM who uses this to move faster on work they understand deeply gets compounding returns. The one who uses it to avoid understanding the work gets compounding debt. The loop doesn't know the difference, you do

Padel is the most networked sport in Miami by far, more than golf. I have played sports my entire life and I’ve never seen a sport that leads to more connections than this. It’s become an edge to meet people

showed a few users something new on demo calls recently and watched their faces shift from polite smiles to genuine shock

“wow” moments are my north star metric now

most SaaS companies set up Stripe once and never touch payments again

meanwhile they're losing 12-15% of transactions to silent failures, leaving BNPL revenue on the table, and duct-taping 4 tools together

we're moving $4B/yr across 20K+ businesses fixing exactly this with the enterprise-grade stack we've built

if your payment infra is an afterthought, it's costing you more than you think

this is what the other side looks like: https://t.co/YZtoxinjUd

FanBasis went from $1M run rate to $100M in 4 years. Then went from $100M to $1B+ run rate within 12 months.

My first employees and our CPO were both there before any of that, back when there was no traction and no guarantee it would work.

They stayed because they saw where this was going and wanted to be part of building it. When people show up because they believe in the vision, you never have to convince them to care - they already do.

That changes everything about how a company operates.

A small team of believers will outperform a large team of people collecting paychecks every single time.

The energy, the urgency, and the sense of ownership are completely different, and you can feel it in the work.

Small vision attracts small people. Big vision attracts the kind of builders who want to create something that actually changes an industry. If you're not excited about where your company could go, nobody else will be either.

Today we turned on beta for the Fanbasis affiliate system for our first two sellers.

6 months. 2 conferences (one international). 50+ seller conversations. ~250 Linear tickets. One Platinum Lovable badge I didn't plan on earning.

Thanks to Codex, can now push complex PRs and ship high-leverage features too

[jay jayewardene @rakith]

A core PM responsibility is protecting team velocity.

If you can push simple PRs, you should. This way engineers can focus on high-leverage problems
