@ryancarson A temp solution while waiting for basic access is to use oAuth via Google console for ‘read only’ access + pair it with the Google analytics MCP and then have the LLM write Google ads scripts that can make the changes via Google desktop app

It’s a super-pain-in-the-ass to get Google Ads API access setup (you have to submit an app with “reasons” and wait for approval - to control your own ads 🙄) so you can programmatically control your ads campaigns. But once you do, it’s amazing to work with Devin on running campaigns. I have a ad report sent to my inbox every morning too. We used to pay an agency SO much money to do this at my previous startups.

@Benioff ❌ software to ❌ to GUIs!

Welcome Salesforce Headless 360: No Browser Required! Our API is the UI. Entire Salesforce & Agentforce & Slack platforms are now exposed as APIs, MCP, & CLI. All AI agents can access data, workflows, and tasks directly in Slack, Voice, or anywhere else with Salesforce Headless 360. Faster builds, agentic everything. 🚀 #Salesforce #Agentforce #AI venturebeat.com/ai/salesforce-…

@pumfleet @calcom Re: the business model of open source products with paid hosted versions, since we can now point our agent at the OS repo and selfhost within a few mins, is the OS + paid hosted version viable anymore? I know this was always possible but was way harder before agents

Open source is dead. That’s not a statement we ever thought we’d make. @calcom was built on open source. It shaped our product, our community, and our growth. But the world has changed faster than our principles could keep up. AI has fundamentally altered the security landscape. What once required time, expertise, and intent can now be automated at scale. Code is no longer just read. It is scanned, mapped, and exploited. Near zero cost. In that world, transparency becomes exposure. Especially at scale. After a lot of deliberation, we’ve made the decision to close the core @calcom codebase. This is not a rejection of what open source gave us. It’s a response to what risks AI is making possible. We’re still supporting builders, releasing the core code under a new MIT-licensed open source project called cal. diy for hobbyists and tinkerers, but our priority now is simple: Protecting our customers and community at all costs. This may not be the most popular call. But we believe many companies will come to the same conclusion. My full explanation below ↓

@bryan_johnson I had a feeling that there must be some benefit to your body having to cool down on its own vs using a cold shower or ice bath after

@greynguyen @WHOOP I’ve never heard of competitors of whoops but downloading bevel now

@WHOOP just filed a lawsuit against us. A $10B company with 800+ employees is scared of us, a 20-person team making health tracking accessible to all. Rather than focusing on product and innovation, Whoop has decided to use its newly raised capital on lawfare. In this video, I share our side of the story, explain why their claims are baseless, and why we believe fighting back is the right thing to do.

@carrynointerest @awilkinson @Polymarket @chamath Sounds like you’re the one who’s not so sure!

@KyleBolts @awilkinson @Polymarket @chamath “Down” doesn’t work that’s absurd. You’re an AI maxi who believes OpenAI will have a large impact Let’s make it down 40% since you believe so much

Software is about to look a lot like ecommerce. Shitty margins. Unlimited competition. A hard way to make a living. Why? Because over the next few years, Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI are going to drink the software industry's milkshake 🥤 If you were looking for a hotel in 2010, this is how it went: 2010: Google "hotels in New York" → Google links you to TripAdvisor. But by 2020... 2020: Google "hotels in New York" → Google shows its own hotel booking system integrated directly into the search results. RIP TripAdvisor 🪦📉 (check their stock price 2015 vs today) Google made a fortune by building products that captured demand on the keywords where they had the most traffic, like travel. But Google had finite resources. They only had so many developers to build these products, so it only made sense to do this for the largest categories: hotels, flights, shopping. This same thing is about to happen to most digital services and software products. Except this time, the constraint that protected smaller categories is gone. 2025: Ask ChatGPT for the best CRM software → It directs you to Attio, Pipedrive, and Zoho. 2028: Ask ChatGPT for the best CRM → It builds one, imports your data, and runs it for you at a fraction of the cost. The difference between OG Google and today's frontier models is that OG Google needed human engineers to build each vertical product. OpenAI, Anthropic, and the Google of today (Gemini) won't have this constraint. When the cost to build and maintain software approaches zero, there's no reason to stop at hotels and flights. You do it for everything, on demand. Right now, vibe coding is still fiddly. It requires a human in the loop, it's insecure, and it depends on third-party hosting and infrastructure. But I expect the frontier model companies to build out their own vertical infrastructure to run the software they generate, removing the current friction entirely. Think Claude's artifacts, except full-fledged digital products—hosted, maintained, and updated by the same AI that built them. The moat for most software companies isn't the code. It's the switching cost and the ecosystem lock-in. When an AI can rebuild your tool in seconds and migrate your data automatically, that moat disappears. Everyone understands that vibe coding = infinite competition. But this is different. They're taking your customer before they can even get to you. So, software becomes a lot like ecommerce. Near zero margin unless you own distribution and aren't reliant on Google/Meta for customers. TLDR: They drink your milkshake. They'll drink it up.

@carrynointerest @awilkinson $Day FY2028 top live revenue is flat or down YOY, $1k stakes. Could make get it listed on @Polymarket. @chamath - take this side of the trade big dog. Who's in?

@KyleBolts @awilkinson Dawg we need terms first What do you propose

@carrynointerest @awilkinson Send 3rd party service

@KyleBolts @awilkinson I would be willing to bet that they do not. If you'd like to make a public bet on Dayforce top line revenue 3 years from now, happy to lock it in with a third party service

@carrynointerest @awilkinson They’ll use one of the 10-20 open source HR software frameworks that are coming and just vibe the last 10%

@awilkinson If you think an HR VP is going to vibe code compliance software for the HR org or trust an out of the box solution from OpenAI you are out of your mind friend

@newstart_2024 @grok but what about studies such as ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22555… - (and other research) compare to this video’s take

Steven Bartlett asks the uncomfortable question every employer faces: “What do I do? Give people three years off when they have a kid?” Erica Komisar’s blunt answer: “Give them as much time off as you possibly can — men and women, whoever is the primary attachment figure. Then give them real flexibility: part-time, job-sharing, working from home, leaving early. Accept that parents with young children won’t stay as late as childless employees. Tough. Life isn’t fair. Healthy children matter more than perfect parity.” The early years (especially the first 3) are the critical attachment window. Prioritizing parental presence isn’t just nice — it’s foundational for emotional health, resilience, and long-term societal outcomes. Employers & parents: Should companies be expected to accommodate long parental leave and flexible hours for young kids, even if it creates imbalance with childless staff? Or is that asking too much in a competitive world? Your honest take 👇

@HarryStebbings Jura

I LOVE coffee and espresso and need an upgrade on the at home nespresso. I don’t want faff and all the cleaning. Buttons only please. What is the best? Help me X.

@jasonfried I’m going with… there’s an open source skeleton of every software shape imaginable and we just point our agent at that and customize the last 10% we need

A bespoke software revolution? I don't buy it. It'll exist. It already exists. Small consultants and big consulting firms have made custom software for years. It almost always sucks. It’s bloated, confusing, and because the client pays, it’s built wrong in all the ways. Who’s excited about bespoke software? Software makers! Of course they're excited about building bespoke software — that's what they do. X is full of them. Your feed is full of people who love making software talking about making software. Of course they’re excited about the revolution. Echo, echo, echo... Most people don’t like computers. Nobody in tech wants to say that out loud. People tolerate computers. They use them because they have to. Given the choice, most would rather not think about them at all. So when someone suggests that AI means everyone will build their own custom tools, ask who "everyone" is. The three-person accounting firm drowning in client paperwork? They want the paperwork gone, not a new system to maintain. The regional logistics company with 40 trucks? They want the routes optimized, not Joe spouting off about this new system he’s been messing around with. The law firm billing 70-hour weeks? They want leverage on their time, not a software project to design. They don’t hate technology. But building and maintaining their own critical systems isn’t their wheelhouse, regardless of how much faster and easier it’s become. It's another job on top of the job. Will these people use AI? Absolutely, for all sorts of things. Will some outliers go deep and build real custom systems? Sure, but they're almost always people who already had some pull toward software. The curiosity was already there. They were dabblers before. Giving everyone access to software building tools doesn't mean everyone becomes a builder. A powerful excavator doesn't turn a homeowner into a contractor. Most people just want the hole dug by someone else. They don’t want the responsibility either.

I first encountered this type of person when I moved to Montreal. I became conscious of a nascent (post-Y2K) World Class. Multiple passport holders, credentialed parents, upper middle class to lesser wealthy.

@chamath Open source it (jira replacement) for the little guys out here?

Our cracked team just used Software Factory to rebuild and replace Jira in a little more than a month. We first spent 3.5 weeks planning. This is Software Factory’s superpower. It allowed our lead PM, Designer and Architect to thoughtfully describe and detail exactly what they wanted. Software Factory then did the heavy lifting in filling in the blanks and allowing our senior tech folks to sharpen the direction of what they wanted. Then in 2.5 weeks 2.5 junior devs built a replacement. This will launch as an updated Planner module inside of Software Factory on Tuesday. It’s beautiful, clean and super useful. Try it here: 8090.ai

@garrethmcdaid @grok can you tell us the number of croissants we’d have to sell to cover the commercial rates, water charges and electricity cost to run the oven at an Art Of Coffee, in a location such as Grand Canal Dock (or Dublin City in general)

Reminder that it costs €35k per annum to employ someone in a coffee shop on minimum wage, but people can't understand why a croissant costs €5.

@eglyman @FoundersPodcast @tryramp @grok what does ramp do and more Importantly are they GDPR compliant

If you’re running a business in Europe or the UK, we bring good news from across the Atlantic. @tryramp launches locally this summer. We’re setting up shop and the waitlist is open. The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year. Europe’s most ambitious companies deserve the same.
