Excited to open source Sightmap! Sightmap is a YAML spec + CLI that keeps a runtime map of your app. Views, components, requests, and memories, designed for agents to author and maintain. Every verification run gets smarter and burns fewer tokens. github.com/sightmap/sightmap

specs are half "intent engineering" (thanks @jonbell) and half archeology specs should never state an archeological fact without you being able to instantly reference the source working with the incredible @AdamMocarski on making this idea beautiful and useful today
if software is spec, what if we got AI to make specs that weren't slop? working on this (very inspired by the beauty of makingsoftware.com by @danhollick)

david showed me a demo of @obvious agents a few months back, and it was the first time i saw enough of the stack coming together that a normie startup could continuously and safely delegate complex, multi-hour engineering (and non-engineering) tasks to a non-human.
tomorrow we kick off the 3rd cohort of startups we've invited to use Autobuild, the internal tool driving the insane autonomous build velocity at @obvious (nearing 1000 PRs a day from 10 engineers) each co is shipping 12 weeks of roadmap this is the frontier, build accordingly

I’m frequently asked, “As a manager, do you ever miss designing?” Design leadership is still designing. Designing opportunities. Designing careers. Designing teams. Designing organizations. All of those are still customer-centric business problems to solve.

Adobe's pivot to SaaS is one of the most impressive tech stories that I haven't heard many talk about. Now a 110+ billion dollar company ($20b more than Salesforce for context).

When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you. xitter.cf/realdonaldtrump/status…
Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI - A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!
