I love when I have a long list of things to do so obviously I spend the day building a personal todo list Mac app instead of actually doing any of them.

Is Jev just ML for normies?

a few ways to retain IC time as a founder: - Invest heavily in 2-3 teammates (radical transparency) - Enforce a no-meeting day with rare exceptions - Attend less than 2 meeting a week per topic/area - Encourage pre-reads for bigger discussions/decisions - "Skillify" any decisions being made more than 3 times - Handoff top of funnel to others (customers, recruiting)

I don't trust landing pages that don't show the product.

I love peppermint caramel macchiatos! Not for the reason you think. @vcapretz loves this drink. I give him a hard time about it every chance I get. We needed a new billing system. It was not on the roadmap. So I bribed him. I told him I would post this if he helped me build it. He did. As of yesterday, sales can structure deals and set quotas the way they want. Product can bill for new features and test new quotas and tiers with almost no extra work. Now I love this drink with all my heart. Thanks, Vitor.

A new employee's first day is so important. Small blips can make a person feel unwelcome or insecure. Using the same principles from UX and applying them to EX (employee experience), we want each new person to feel part of the team (the "Aha!" moment) as soon as possible. For us, that means getting them into Slack. The default assumption was to do this all by email, but email is slow, easy to miss threads, and makes people feel like they are not one of us yet. After a person signs an offer, we add that person to Slack as a guest. Then the person can ask questions and get immediate response, but most importantly, they can feel that they are already on the team.

The hardest part of culture is the balance. Someone asked what principle was hardest to keep from 3 people to 50. I could only think of the failure mode: virtue favoritism. One good thing, left alone, goes toxic. Being kind at all costs and lowering the bar. Praising output no matter the means, and teaching that results buy the right to be disrespectful. The magic happens when a web of virtues are strung together. The work is keeping the tension.

"I don't get paid to say good things about Resend but... it's one of those 10/10, no notes". @pumfleet from @calcom has been such a great partner from the early days and it's been a privilege to be able to support their scaling journey over the last few years.

Couldn’t be more excited to have a fireside chat with @cjc at Resend Forward! You won’t want to miss this!

Who's building Cursor/T3 for operators? They are hyper-focused on dev lifecycles (obviously) but I find myself going back to more generic/closed tooling like Claude/GPT to not have a git-based workflow.

My most recurring failure mode with AI is letting the model run before I understand the work myself, especially for greenfield projects. If I don't know what good looks like, the output is up to chance.

Highly recommend starting companies and having kids.

The highest leverage career advice I've ever received is to work with people smarter than myself. Everything else is noise if that isn't the case.

You know why em dashes are such a big tell? Because who even knows how to write an em dash with keyboard strokes, nonetheless, add 5 in one paragraph?

Not being able to steer mid stream in Claude Code is becoming a massive inhibitor, especially now that agents are thinking and working for much longer periods of time. Cursor has this. Codex has this. Claude doesn't have this. @lydiahallie @trq212 @bcherny 🙏

The most kind and competent team I've ever built with. 🖤

We ask every new user the same question. What brought you here? Recently someone shared this screenshot from Gemini as their response. What wild time to be building. 🤖
