When we first launched Basedash over a year ago, our vision was to be the most AI-native BI platform on the planet. Back then, the state of the art was simple text-to-SQL within the query editor of a single chart. Meanwhile, we actually had a prototype of this full-dashboard agent (but it wasn't good enough to launch). Now that models (and our internal harness) have evolved, we're excited to bring the dashboard agent to everyone. Connect any company data, tell it what you want to track, and we'll build the dashboard for you.

worst feeling in the world is getting pulled out of focused work for a meeting best feeling in the world is when it's a no-show

@realaicoach I agree, actively working to automate as much of my job as possible

@MaxMusing What are you doing to remove yourself from the company? To be clear, I understand your argument, but by extension, the optimal number of employees is zero, including the founder.

hiring someone to do a job is almost always easier than setting up an AI workflow right now. honestly probably cheaper too. do it anyway. a person doesn't get smarter every 3 months when a new model drops. a person doesn't scale to 10x the workload overnight by spinning up more compute. every AI workflow you build today is an asset that compounds. every hire is a fixed cost that doesn't. we're betting everything on AI infrastructure at Basedash and it's not even close.

@sibaiisaac I actually (partially) agree with the idea. Just arguing semantics 🤷

@MaxMusing No I think he’s using it right. He’s wrong about his prediction but he’s using the word right. He means the user interface will be AI. “The way you interact with machines will be using AI” aka UI. He’s wrong but that’s what UI means.

it’s sad to me that the term UI has collapsed to exclusively mean pixels on a screen

@Khushanshdev this is the ultimate UI

@MaxMusing So what else is it supposed to be?

@hobdaydesign Bring back GUI!

@MaxMusing To be fair, a “user interface” has been pixels on a screen in 99% of cases for ~all of the history of commercial software. But yes, I also don’t like it when people use terms in the wrong way.

@bilalfarooqui uh oh not this again

Lots of DMs asking “who is a tier 1 VC” so in no particular order: - a16z - thrive - general catalyst - accel - benchmark - sequoia - founders fund - kleiner - first round - lightspeed - bessemer Who did I miss?

@Kappaemme1926 1. Be a god OR 2. Make some money

Vibe coders, would you take 1. Claude Max in 2010 OR 2. $1,000,000

@artman @linear Just sent you a DM with a video showing a few scenarios

@MaxMusing @linear Let me know if you can pinpoint what scenario makes it laggy and we'll fix.

man, the new @linear review feature is actually good. I can finally work with 10k+ line diffs. still laggy in a few places but miles ahead of GitHub and Graphite.

@TomasReimers @linear Yup mostly scroll/diff loading lag. Sent you a DM with a video in case that's helpful!

@MaxMusing @linear Anyway we can help over at Graphite? Is it specifically scroll lag?

we migrated Basedash over to GPT-5.5 as soon as it launched it's good, but inference is 2x what we were spending on GPT-5.4. promises of better token efficiency are very use-case dependent

@GarettMacGowan hell yeah

@MaxMusing I saw him buy a huge call option position on Intel quite a while back. I was already heavily invested in Intel, cost basis $19.84. I decided I might as well shift some of the position into long-dated options. It worked out.

hold up I think this @leopoldasch guy is onto something

@Ydj79 @linear Nice, sounds similar to Graphite's "Tour" feature which I love

@MaxMusing @linear Yeah game changer! It provides summaries on the left panel about what has changed so you can click on that and shows you relevant code.. that way you don’t have to read through the several lines of boilerplate and can focus on the main logical flows

@tommoor @just_be_dev @linear Is that something you can emulate in Linear-land?

@just_be_dev @linear We have that behind a flag, looking into why it's not enabled 😅 One problem is that GitHub doesn't allow mentioning apps which sucks, so you just have to type the at-mention out in plaintext and know that it will work

@linear I'd really, really love it if I could chat with the linear agent in a github comment, similar to the claude github integration. Just being able to CC it to make a follow up issue would be huge.

@sarimrmalik @linear It’s worth the wait

@MaxMusing @linear gotta try this

@tanishqk @linear I skim

@MaxMusing @linear you actually read the 10k line diffs ?

@_notnotjake @linear Graphite is great but I find it chugs on big PRs

@MaxMusing @linear really? better than Graphite and Devin PR?

@Ydj79 @linear Haven’t tried! Is it good?

@MaxMusing @linear Have you used devin review?
