Today, we're announcing @ref_tools open beta. Ref is your team’s shared space to decide what agents build before any code gets written.
We’ve raised $4M from @villageglobal, @Daybreak_Fund, @tmrohan, @RitualVC, @tonigemayel@barrald@wesmckinn and @bentossell.
Every engineering team is battling the same problem. I call it Velocity Sickness. It's the disconcerting feeling that you're moving fast but not having the impact you expect. It's affecting individuals, teams and especially leaders.
It looks like:
- Too many PRs to merge.
- Brainfry and burnout.
- Engineers running in different directions.
- Critical decisions being made by agents.
The last one is the most dangerous.
At its core, software engineering is about two things: (1) what decisions matter for my system? and (2) making those decisions. When you let agents make critical decisions, you lose ownership of your system and product.
You solve these problems with Ref.

This is utterly repulsive!
Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelensky—and my embarrassment as an American—just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!”
It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more.
This is pure BS.
This is a five alarm fire.
The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk.
Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security.
This should not be a partisan issue.
I represent LaGuardia Airport as well as workers for JFK.
Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week.
Air traffic controllers - already understaffed - got Trump’s “buyout” this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide.
It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.
This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity.
If a picture is usually worth a thousand words, this one is worth millions.
BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon
“I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”
The guy is 53 years old.
He's almost a trillionaire.
He employs many thousands of people.
He's running multiple billion-dollar businesses.
He's made the "heart with hands" gesture. 🫶
He's had access to the same historical information we all have since grade school.
And, just two days before Holocaust Remembrance Day, he tells Germany's AfD it's time to move "past guilt" of the Holocaust.
And you want US to believe that he doesn't know what the fucking sieg heil salute is?
Get the fuck out of here with that gaslighting bullshit.
I’m just left wondering how folks would have felt if Joe Biden illegally forced the government to stop fulfilling its obligations (as determined by laws passed by Congress) so that he could choose which of those obligations don’t align with his personal ideology.
The president doesn't get to only spend money on things that "align with his agenda." He's required by the Constitution, and by law, to spend the money that Congress has appropriated, on the things it's appropriated the money for.
California is the largest contributor of tax revenue to the federal treasury by far.
In 2022 alone, California paid $83 billion more to the federal government than it received.
Louisiana took $34.5 billion more federal dollars than it paid.
Who is subsidizing whom here?
This should be a national scandal: Today, the LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution asking the state to suspend various legal protections for property owners in burned areas—their right to build a duplex or ADU, to reasonable permit timelines, and more.
The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.
Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.
We must stop him.
BREAKING: The Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. have all filed suit against Trump for his budget freeze on vital health services.
The fact that 0 Republican AGs are joining this lawsuit, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks volumes on how MAGA is absolutely a cult.
Happening NOW in Bodo, Norway.
Hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters march ahead of the Bodo/Glimt vs Maccabi Tel Aviv UEFA Europa league game.
A genocidal state shouldn’t be allowed to take part in football. 724 athletes & coaches have been killed during Gaza’s genocide.
Miller: We’re watching incredibly closely but we have not seen [Israel] launch a major military operation [in Rafah]
Kirby: They are not moving in, in a major ground operation
This what they told you while Rafah was being destroyed. Continuous lies.
