AI is so much better at Git than I ever was. Mesmerizing.

Today I'm annoucning a project I've been spending nights and weekends on It's called Cadenya - @cadenyainc Cadenya is the agent runtime that layers tools, agents, and objectives so you can test safely and improve quickly. Read the docs: cadenya.com/docs

Yes, AI can write code faster than most people now. And it can write good (maybe even great) code in the right hands. But consumer expectations have also changed. So the gap between where software needs to be on launch day in 2015 versus today is incredibly wide. It might still take you just as long to launch an MVP today as it did back in 2015. But you'll have more to show. Hopefully, at least!

The Unix philosophy of "Treat every output as an input to another program" is alive and well in the AI Era. We humans were the runtime between outputs of our tools (Copy and paste, drag and drop), but now with agentic tools and loops, the outputs of one tool call can be used in another without us. AI is the difference maker here. I can accept user intent and unstructured outputs (from our hands, mouths, our other tools) to generate structured inputs between systems now. Build small and useful tools for your agents. Let AI decide how it composes them together.

Some people are passionate about painting, charity work, baking. I care about APIs. And in the AI Era, I'm convinced they'll matter more than anything you could be building right now bobbytables.io/p/the-future-…

Turbopuffer is one of the most transformative platforms being built right now and people need to go play with it to understand why. One of my favorite tools I've played with recently.
we are finally pushing state of the art in full-text search expect a lot more on this front, but strong entry into the last month of the year.

Can someone at @Atlassian tell me why the issues API has so many SSL errors now? It's... kinda insane. No API should throw this many SSL errors and it's very new behavior.

If you want a VC that knows how to throw down an amazing event, look no further than @MenloVentures . It's not even halfway done and I'm ready to run through a wall (or climb it). And @venkyganesan has jokes.
