If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking outside the chat box

coding is solved.
but engineering is not.

don’t mistake the two.

Whatever people say, you have the freedom to do anything. The only thing stopping you are the consequences of doing it.

As a society, we've traded off taste for speed and efficiency

[Dr. Simon @goddek]

You can see the decline of society just by looking at what we used to build versus what we build now.

We made it to @TechCrunch's 2026 Startup Battlefield 200.

@marketrix_ai will be at Moscone West, San Francisco, Oct 13-15.

Here's what we're actually building.

Meme of the year. 😅

Note to myself - In this day and age, clarity is everything. Use AI to make life less boring. But if you can't function without it, you are just "artificially intelligent".

[Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp]

When Copernicus proposed heliocentrism in 1543, it was actually less accurate than Ptolemy's geocentric model - a system refined over 1,400 years with epicycles precisely tuned to match observed planetary positions.

It took another 70 years before Kepler, working from Tycho Brahe's unprecedentedly precise observations, replaced Copernicus’s circles with ellipses - finally making heliocentrism empirically superior.

Terence Tao's point is that science needs a high temperature setting. If we only fund and follow what's most state of the art today, we kill the ideas that might need decades of work to surpass some overall plateau.

you can outsource your thinking

We just launched @marketrix_ai User Testing Agent on @ProductHunt!

Most QA tools test what you tell them to test. But real users don't follow scripts.

Marketrix flips this. Our AI agents explore your product the way real users do, uncovering bugs, edge cases, and UX gaps automatically. No scripts. No manual test cases. Just autonomous QA that actually thinks like your customers.

We built this because after years of watching teams burn cycles writing and maintaining test scripts, we knew there had to be a better way. Instead of telling the tool what to test, you let the AI figure it out, just like a real user would.

Here's what makes it different:
- No scripts required
- Works across staging and production
- Generates test cases automatically
- AI agents explore real user journeys
- Continuous validation before release

We're live on Product Hunt today and would love your support. If this resonates with you, head over and give us an upvote and drop a comment. Your support truly means the world to us as a small team building something we believe in.

Interesting quote I saw today: “The flaw in connecting dots from past successes is that, it discounts why others who did similar things failed”

[Simplifying AI @simplifyinAI]

Someone just built a fully open source mocap system that works with cheap webcams.

TL;DR WebMCP turns web UIs into APIs. Soon, software will have both backend and WebMCP APIs.

For developers - this means you'll have to build not just backend APIs, but also WebMCP APIs for UIs.

It's a matter of time before both these APIs converge to just one MCP API.

WebMCP is coming to Chrome!

Here's a video of how it works.

This means, web apps and web sites can now be designed in a way that makes sense not just for humans, but also for browser agents. When browser agents call these tools, they would work just right. Finally, they get some determinism.

What getting ready for @fdotinc Artifact Festival looks like

@marketrix_ai

[Irosha de Silva @iroshads]

We built @marketrix_ai to make software self supporting.

Self resolving support. Self operating QA. Self updating docs. Self driven walkthroughs.

@yasithdev and I demo it tomorrow, Feb 13 at 4PM, at the Artifact Festival by @fdotinc at Fort Mason.
