When @karpathy built MenuGen (karpathy.bearblog.dev/vibe-coding-me…), he said: "Vibe coding menugen was exhilarating and fun escapade as a local demo, but a bit of a painful slog as a deployed, real app. Building a modern app is a bit like assembling IKEA future. There are all these services, docs, API keys, configurations, dev/prod deployments, team and security features, rate limits, pricing tiers." We've all run into this issue when building with agents: you have to scurry off to establish accounts, clicking things in the browser as though it's the antediluvian days of 2023, in order to unblock its superintelligent progress. So we decided to build Stripe Projects to help agents instantly provision services from the CLI. For example, simply run: $ stripe projects add posthog/analytics And it'll create a PostHog account, get an API key, and (as needed) set up billing. Projects is launching today as a developer preview. You can register for access (we'll make it available to everyone soon) at projects.dev. We're also rolling out support for many new providers over the coming weeks. (Get in touch if you'd like to make your service available.) projects.dev

6 years on... history doesn't repeat itself, it rhymes

Sure, AI agents can 10x your productivity, but really you should be giving your agents a personality, and 10x joy.

@rohanvarma > All agents are coding agents, and we’re already seeing Codex used across every job function within organizations. 💯 Congrats @rohanvarma! Big moves, I have yet to try Codex, but I'll keep an eye on what & and the team come up with 👀

I’m joining OpenAI Codex to work on the future of agentic development! At Cursor, I got to see the shift from autocomplete to agents. The next step isn’t a better IDE. It’s an Agent Development Environment (ADE): systems and tools for orchestrating agents, reasoning over their outputs, and making them autonomous enough to reliably complete ambitious work. After chatting with @embirico and @thsottiaux, it was clear that Codex is the best place to realize this vision. The team has consistently shipped SOTA models for agentic coding (check out gpt-5.3-codex) and I’m pumped for the future that the new Codex App points to. What I’m most excited about is the broader mission: accelerating the knowledge work economy. All agents are coding agents, and we’re already seeing Codex used across every job function within organizations. I’m extremely grateful for my time at Cursor, working with the incredible team, and I’m proud of what we built together. I’m excited to take an even bigger swing with Codex. If you’re curious to get a glimpse of where we are headed, download the Codex App! If you want to work on this mission, please apply or reach out - we are hiring across all functions! You can just build things.

I've built a fun little app this morning to experiment with colour combinations for my next knitting project. Now comes the hard part: Committing to one pair.

Exhibit 2:

It took us a while to commit to building a Logs product at PostHog. Now it's there, and the marketing around it is some of the best I've seen, even by PostHog standards. It really makes you think whether "joy to market" should play a bigger role in how we decide on next products.

Taking notes 📝

@underthenettle Looks fun! Though I am curious to know what the theme of the girls' night was 😄

The aftermath of girls' night

appreciate they placed PostHog in the P

@jsngr @async Hi! Would be up for chatting 🫡

we're working on something to give superpowers to product managers @async if you're a PM and are willing to chat to help us build something for you, please reply or DM!

The incumbent SaaS vendors who survive will be those who make all of their primitives and data models easily accessible via agents. I want to rip-and-replace vendors that require using lots of in-app UI, low-code, drag-and-drop workflows. I want to keep the vendors that let me work through Claude Code as an interface. Assume non-engineers adoption of Claude Code (and equivalents) will go to 100%. Assume they will be frustrated if they have to click on things. If your product makes users click on things, you're vulnerable.

From "Inside Cursor": colossus.com/article/inside…

This principle from the team building Cursor really resonates: Focus on building for software engineers, even if non-technical people use and love your product. Similar to how we are building many of the products at PostHog!

It was so much fun hanging out at Cafe Cursor and chatting to @rohanvarma! Now I just have to put these Cursor credits to good use 🤓

Convinced the secret to living a happy life is simply allowing yourself to be incredibly excited for coffee every morning.

@IanVanagas I was really hoping this is real :(

Have startup job titles gone too far?

As somebody who has gone back and forth with this, you really only need like two weeks replacing screen time with reading to get your attention span back You’re not permanently fucked and resetting is easier than you think. Put down your phone and pick up a book.

This is also a good list to judge yourself by, and consider how to become a (slightly) better person.
