I write about product management, software engineering and random books I've read. 📚 🦀 Founder @luminovo; prev @stanford @ETH

I wrote an internal strategy memo for Luminovo on what software survives the era of agents, you can find a part of it on my blog: https://t.co/MBrrlMPWt5

@ShlomesLew @mastra Loved the blog post! Did you guys also look into differences between function calling vs structured output for getting structured output? When I want structured output with lots of optional fields, structured output (which needs a union type hack for optional fields) sucks 🥲

After years of procrastination I finally got around to vibe-coding my personal website and wrote a new blog post about my favorite decision-making tool: https://t.co/wJKqSuKI0T

@Smol_AI your newsletter does not display right when Apple Mail has its "Use dark backgrounds for messages"-setting turned on. 😥

Would be amazing if you could fix the CSS of the newsletter, there's probably other Apple Mail users that likes dark mode 🙏

@mick__net @tadasayy @cursor_ai FYI I got this to work. You can ask Cursor what the error message of the MCP is and it will tell you... that helped me debug it (I was missing SSL strict mode, required to connect to Azure where I was hosting my Postgres DB)

@PropelAuth We're considering switching from Auth0 and one must-have feature for us is being able to customize the login page per organization (they want to see their own logo and color when logging in). Is this possible with PropelAuth somehow?

@yoitsmetim @raycastapp did you ever get a reply to this? I'd love to switch from MeetingBar, but the hotkey to jump right into the next meeting is one of my most used shortcuts. 🤔

🙏 If we want to avoid delays, rework and halted manufacturing lines we need a more collaborative approach to designing electronics. Design WITH manufacturers, not for them. Removing hand-offs worked for software developers. At Luminovo we're trying to do the same for hardware.

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

The thing about any hardware manufacturing operation is, if you can’t get even a single part, your ability to manufacture your thing comes to a complete halt. You can try to design around the missing part, but that takes time and can be hard to impossible.

The next weeks will be spent repeating a "How do I get to A? Maps! Not drive! How do I get to B? Maps! Not Drive!"-mantra. Wish me luck!

Somehow my brain, fingers and browser autocomplete successfully colluded against me to regularly land me on https://t.co/qbFXjrj9Mt when I want to look up directions.

[Timon Ruban @timonbimon]

Adding insult to injury: I never really drive anywhere, so I'm a little pissed that it has come to this.

@ThisWeekInRust not sure if it's in time for today's newsletter. But we are looking for more Rust aficionados at Luminovo and just opened a new position. 🙌

@jh_damm Please explain the next time we speak! 😅

[Timon Ruban @timonbimon]

Psychological safety is the very first thing I speak about when a new teammate joins my team. What is psychological safety? Why do we need it? How do we make it happen? I wrote down my learnings on the topic over the last three years, here: https://t.co/GvOelwphkq

[viet @vietdle]

What happened to the chatbot companies that emerged five years ago? And how did Instagram become such a defensible ML-enabled product?

Here, I talk about the common reasons why ML-enabled companies fail to scale and how they can build up defensibility https://t.co/yjGofIirrI

And here is the Terminal Setup:

[Timon Ruban @timonbimon]

I recently found myself telling people again and again how I setup my Mac and Terminal (not sure who was the victim here - me or the people forced to listen to me). To save time in the future and share my "wisdom" with more people I decided to document my Mac & Terminal setup.

[Timon Ruban @timonbimon]

Read at your own risk.
