@rauchg Would love to learn more about this journey

Almost every SaaS app inside Vercel has now been replaced with a generated app or agent interface, deployed on Vercel. Support, sales, marketing, PM, HR, dataviz, even design and video workflows. It’s shocking. The SaaSpocalypse is both understated and overstated. Over because the key systems of record and storage are still there (Salesforce, Snowflake, etc.) Understated because the software we are generating is more beautiful, personalized, and crucially, fits our business problems better. We struggled for years to represent the health of a Vercel customer properly inside Salesforce. Too much data (trillions of consumption data points), the ontology of Vercel was a mismatch to the built-in assumptions, and the resulting UI was bizarre. We generated what we needed instead. When you don’t need a UI, you just ask an agent with natural language. We’ve also been moving off legacy systems with poor, slow, outdated, and inconsistent APIs, as well as just dropping abstraction down to more traditional databases. UI is a function 𝑓 of data (always has been), and that 𝑓 is increasingly becoming the LLM.

@v0 "If you were one for the top designers, how would you criticize our existing design" and named a few services (@linear and @vercel) that I think have great designs. This led to the current design of whatsdown.ai.

But as a counter example for whatsdown.ai, I suck at design. So I didn't know what to prompt for as far the design and experience I wanted (I don't know the terminology). So what worked for me, curious on your thoughts, was to prompt @v0 with 3/

Fun little project I've been working on: whatsdown.ai. You can configure your agents to check the status of AI related services and report issues. Totally vibe coded and designed by @v0. Thanks for the feedback @rauchg. 1/

Amazing to see @stlabsHQ come out of stealth. This space is so ready for innovation and disruption. I am excited to be working with them and can't wait to see what they do!

@zenorocha @resend @vercel Good stuff. Works as advertised (really well)

thousands of @resend customers use @vercel. but the DNS verification has always been a pain. now it's a one-click button. some early results: over 50% of domains verify under 3 minutes (vs 18% before) x.com/vercel_dev/sta…

@PeteMarkowsky I think being able to observe the bash execution is key.

@eaescob We're adding in support for pipes to Santa and Workshop so you can control this or at least put speed bumps here e.g. read this and touch ID to continue.

With all the amazing push towards CLI, but via curl https://xxx | bash. I wonder how founders/people are thinking about the security ramifications of this? I guess that this is creating a huge new surface for supply chain attacks.

@mrp @PeteHegseth @SecWar @DeptofWar My front door is wide open, if it wasn't for the fact that it's closed and locked.

BREAKING: STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS OPEN! “The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit should Iran not do that…” @PeteHegseth @SecWar @DeptofWar

@rauchg Yup! Design is a weak point of mine while distributed systems is stronger. Knowing what to ask for and the level specificity is definitely key to functionality but also good UX

The effectiveness of your AI usage will be a function of the breadth and precision of your vocabulary. We deem a person a “clear thinker” when the words they communicate with *enhance* your model of the world. If you’re asking AI to draft an email or vibe-code an app, a simple prompt will get you em dashes or purple gradients. Clear thinking and expression will get you much further. Like the difference between small talk about the weather, versus someone offering you a novel idea or even an insightful new lens of the world around you. While your vocabulary and understanding develop, there are some shortcuts. Skills (as in skills.sh) magically augment your prompt and offer variety. You might not have the precise vocabulary I use when I give feedback to our product designers or when I @v0, but I’ll be able to share back my skills with you.

@m_franceschetti @eightsleep @TeamEmiratesUAE @TamauPogi whoa! this is awesome. not a creator, just a happy customer. but damn.

.@eightsleep is hiring the best creator to travel with @TeamEmiratesUAE across all three Grand Tours. Your job: make sure @TamauPogi sleeps better than anyone else on the planet. That's it. That's the role. → eightsleep.com/nightshift

@dhh @jasonfried @Tesla FWIW Rivian is the same experience. Buy online, go pick up when ready.

@jasonfried @Tesla Had exactly the same experience buying a Lexus. Even told them up front: I'm only buying this car if I can be out the door in half an hour. "Sure, no problem". Still took nearly three hours. Tesla is just in another league.

The last car we bought was a @Tesla Model Y. Painless purchase process. No salespeople, no showroom, no upsells, no games, no haggling, no pressure. Just a personal choice on my own time, and a simple few-minute process handled entirely via a clear and straightforward app. The next car we're buying is from another brand. And holy hell, it feels like I'm going back in time. Salespeople, back-and-forth charades, pricing games, "when can you come in?" before the deal is finalized tactics, etc. And I'm still doing it all via email so I don't have to deal with the showroom antics. I've modernized the process as much as I can from my side, and yet it's the same old same old. They don't even feel like the same thing. In one case I'm buying a car with all the baggage that comes with buying a car. In the other case I'm buying a Tesla with none of the baggage of buying a car. This experience could make me lament this other brand, but what it really does is make me appreciate and respect the lengths to which Tesla has fully reconfigured the car buying experience. It's become effortless, like buying any other product. As it should be. A car is just another product. Bravo.

@Beelinkofficial Very cool

I made a thing. Still early, I'm sure. But with the help of @vercel and v0.dev - I thought, why not build a down detector, but for agents to report/monitor on the things they need/use. Give it a try and lmk what's missing/not working: agentup.sh

Amazing to live in the cli->thick clients->web->cli timeline.

What's the go to laptop to use with Linux (@OmarchyLinux ) and coding agents? I love my @FrameworkPuter 13 but the battery life is limiting a bit. I'm sure there's a PEBKAC issue here as well. cc @dhh

@peduarte @aantonov_ @bricksdept @combustionaudio Can't wait to give it a shot, congrats on the launch!

yes glaze is insane but can we just take a moment to appreciate how good this video is our attention detail spans across every single touch point weeks of work to get it to this level of quality huge s/o to @aantonov_, @bricksdept and @combustionaudio

@YourAnonNews Looks like me taking all the candies from a pinata

...anyway.... this is how armadillos gather foliage for their nests.

We acquired Anchor.dev. Keycard now powers autonomous coding agent workflows. Developers shouldn't have to choose between agent capability and security. 🧵
