Introducing Vesta
The AI for your closet
Vesta gives you daily outfits based on your wardrobe, your schedule, the weather, and your style.
The days of having “nothing to wear” are over.

One of the big changes in venture that Bennett and Kevin discussed is needing to understand a new type of founder -- researchers, which historically didn't always make for great founders but are obviously a huge part of the AI era.
"You have to listen so carefully...every word from a great founder will have so much meaning and intention about what they're gonna build."

My guests on Uncapped this week are @kevinhartz and @BennettSiegel, co-founders of the early stage VC firm A*. They've backed companies like Notion, Mercor, Ramp, Decagon, Similie, and many more. They also announced a new $450m fund today. We discussed the state of venture capital firms in the current AI cycle, what it means for seed specialists, trends with great founders, and what they're seeing in AI.

Agentic engineering > vibe coding
Dan Lynch@danlynch
Code generation isn't the moat. Engineering is. Last week I sat on a panel at the SVB Experience Center with Sanjeev Dhanda (@GoogleDeepMind) and @abhiaiyer (@mastra) on the move from vibe coding to agentic engineering @constructive_io @SiliconVlyBank @Kristopherfloyd

Meet Human Operator from MIT Media Lab: a wearable that lets AI temporarily take control of your hand using electrical muscle stimulation. Watch it crush piano, draw perfectly, and mix cocktails like a pro — all from a simple voice command. “I gave an AI a body.” This isn’t sci-fi. This is tomorrow. #HumanOperator #MITMediaLab

This is exactly why, and completely validates everything we do at @constructive_io because RLS is complex and must be managed or you'll make every mistake that @PlanetScale is assuming here. We solve all of these issues, and then some 🚀

Postgres RLS sounds great in theory: embedded access control right in the database. In practice, there's complexity in policy configuration, managing your attack surface, and performance implications. Our latest article takes a deep dive into RLS.

The spurs = one of the best leadership cultures on the planet for almost 30 years and counting

The "Ripple Effect." After Game 4, Mitch Johnson said some things about Victor Wembanyama that were subtle… But carried real weight. That’s accountability- and he’s not wrong to put it on Wemby. That's what a damn good coach does.

Love it, I always say think of your company as a financial product when talking to investors

Yesterday at the @postgresconf I spoke about secure-by-default, modular Postgres ⚡️ As agents start generating applications, the database becomes the trust layer. Security can’t be a follow-up step anymore—it has to be the starting point. This is what we’re building at @constructive_io

@samuel_spitz @MisbahSy @samuel_spitz I’m hosting an “from vibe coding to agentic engineering” event with silicon valley bank on May 1st, would love to have someone from Replit. We’ve got databricks, Deepmind, constructive involved

Remotion vs Hyperframes
Same prompt, asked Opus 4.7 to make these.
Which one is better?
HeyGen@HeyGen
We built our launch video in Claude Code using HyperFrames. Now it's yours. Open source, agent-native framework. HTML to MP4. $ npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes RT + Comment "HyperFrames" to get the full source code of this launch video (must follow)

The real reason founders move to SF isn’t the capital.
It’s the hallway conversations.
So we built a hallway.
Launching @superherohotel: 6 floors in a historic 1920 Nob Hill building.
10-min walk from @frontiertower.
Members have raised $150M.
Events have pulled 70K.
Sleep at the hotel. Build at the Tower.
Come for 4 weeks. Ship, raise, break through 👇

"Speed wins."
"You have to be willing to commit to being fast. You can't have long bureaucratic processes. You can't have a risk-averse posture."
@pmarca explains the OODA loop — and why the fastest operator controls the narrative in business, media, and politics:
"There's a framework called the OODA loop, originally developed for fighter pilots and later for broader military strategy."
"It stands for observe, orient, decide, act. It's basically the decision-making cycle."
"If speed is the thing that matters, then the person who gets through that cycle the fastest is the one who's going to win."
"If you can have a sustainably faster OODA loop processing cycle than the next guy — think about what happens… You operate and make a decision within an hour. The other guy is still inside his own OODA loop when you make your decision. He's only halfway through his process and now has to start over. You've changed the parameters of what's going on."
"This is also a big explanation for what's happened in traditional media."
"The New York Times has its own OODA loop, and it's like 24 hours to go through its process."
