- i love andrej karpathy. i loved it when he introduced the term “vibe coding” i hate when everyone else says it — does that make sense at all
- "Airlines are credit card companies that fly planes as a side hustle" I think about this quote a lot
- Cursor is being opinionated about where they think SWE is going and I like it It’s only been ~6 months but we’ve really sprinted from AI-IDE to CLI to background agents as the UX for AI driven development Most folks will still prefer CLIs for the next 2-3 months, but very clearIntroducing Cursor 2.0. Our first coding model and the best way to code with agents.
00:00 - The new link experience on X is actually insane? Super snappy, doesn’t take you out of it, and it feels like it’s super obvious in hindsight Last time I felt this way about a consumer product UX was snapchat’s swipe to switch views Incredible work by @nikitabier and the @X team
00:00 - What do PMs at LinkedIn do, genuine question
- Anthropic has had the most significant AI product contributions for a lab by a long shot, almost charitably Artifacts (text to app), MCP, Claude code (CLI) — they’ve innovated and created entire product sectors, and billion dollar companies are modeled after their creations

I’m rooting for themWe've raised $2.3B in Series D funding from Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Thrive, Nvidia, and Google. We're also happy to share that Cursor has grown to over $1B in annualized revenue and now produces more code than any other agent in the world. This funding will allow

- 1/ Today, @seriesfinancial is announcing our modern, flexible ERP-alternative called an Enterprise Operating System (EOS) to automate finance & operations stacks for businesses to save them time and money, as well as our 25m in funding. seriesfi.com/blog/the-launch
- In hindsight, absolutely nuts that a single startup (clubhouse) was able to get even the product teams at slowest/largest companies to ship clones at breakneck/historic pace (twitter, slack, etc)
- Taylor swift went 3.5 hours nonstop: - singing with no loss in quality - dancing choreo/playing instruments with no loss in energy - commanding an entire stadium stage as a SINGLE person She has like Olympian level strength and stamina Wasn’t a fan before this past month buti think it’s safe to say i converted my bf into a swiftie last night
