I'm someone who still really likes tab complete models (though I use them far less than before, sure). It struck me today that local models are probably good enough nowadays for this. Surely folks are doing this but I can't find great resources. Anyone have any? M4 Max + Neovim.

Introducing the first end-to-end open AI commerce stack from @getsaleor Most AI commerce today is surface-level, a chat box layered on top of brittle systems never designed for agents. Today we’re announcing the first open, end-to-end AI commerce stack: ▰ Agent entry layer (ACP and more) ▰ Conversational storefronts (Ink AI) ▰ Typed GraphQL commerce core ▰ Commerce as Code ▰ Clean extensibility architecture Not AI on top of commerce. Commerce rebuilt for AI. saleor.io/blog/end-to-en…

Terraform is powerful, but it was never meant to be a developer-facing interface. Our latest article explains how Terramate Catalyst separates configuration from code, giving developers a simple interface while platform teams retain full control of IaC. terramate.io/rethinking-iac…

Sequoia just called the end of an entire go-to-market era and most SaaS companies won’t realize what hit them for 18 months. Product-led growth was built on one assumption: humans would try the software. The entire playbook since 2010 optimized for human discovery. Beautiful landing pages. Frictionless free trials. Viral invite loops. Slack, Dropbox, Zoom, Calendly. $200B+ in market cap created by winning the user’s first 5 minutes. None of that matters if an agent is picking the software. Claude doesn’t care about your hero image. It can’t be impressed by your Dribbble awards. It’s reading documentation, parsing user reviews, checking API reliability, and matching features to use case. All the surface-level polish that convinced lazy humans to click “sign up” becomes irrelevant. The new PLG funnel isn’t landing page → free trial → activation → conversion. It’s agent query → documentation scan → feature match → recommendation. Which means the new moat looks completely different. You don’t need the best onboarding. You need the best documentation. You don’t need viral loops. You need structured data that agents can parse. You don’t need a beautiful UI for the first session. You need an API that an agent can actually call. The companies that won PLG hired designers and growth hackers. The companies that win agent-led growth will hire technical writers and developer relations engineers. And here’s the part nobody’s pricing in yet: agents don’t have loyalty. They don’t have switching costs. They’ll recommend Supabase today and something better tomorrow if the documentation is cleaner or the pricing is more transparent. The stickiness that made PLG so powerful, the network effects and learned behavior, doesn’t transfer. Sequoia is telling you the entire distribution layer is being rewritten. The question is whether your product is optimized for human attention or machine parsing. Most are built for the wrong audience.
TBPN@tbpn

Sequoia partner @sonyatweetybird says we're going from the age of product-led growth to the age of agent-led growth. "You see this most clearly if you're using Claude Code actively. It says, 'Hey, for a database, you should use Supabase. For hosting, use Vercel.' It's choosing for you, the stuff you should be using." "Product-led growth brought us closer to the vision of 'best product wins,' but ultimately people are still lazy. They can't read all the reviews, and they kind of default to what looks cool on the website." "Whereas your agent has infinite time to go and make these choices for you. It can go and read all the documentation, read all the user comments, and figure out [what you need] for your use case."

There’s nothing cooler than seeing teams win with the tech we’re building. Today: how Alan tackled a massive infra migration—moving hundreds of Terraform resources from Cloudflare provider v4 → v5 across stacks in just a few weeks. 🧵👇

Large-scale provider upgrades are rarely “just a version bump.” Pierrick Gicquelais (Alan) shares how they migrated 200+ Cloudflare resources from v4 to v5 in 3 weeks, and how isolated stacks and Terramate orchestration made it manageable. medium.com/alan/how-we-mi…

All my new code will be closed-source from now on. I've contributed millions of lines of carefully written OSS code over the past decade, spent thousands of hours helping other people. If you want to use my libraries (1M+ downloads/month) in the future, you have to pay. I made good money funneling people through my OSS and being recognized as expert in several fields. This was entirely based on HUMANS knowing and seeing me by USING and INTERACTING with my code. No humans will ever read my docs again when coding agents do it in seconds. Nobody will even know it's me who built it. Look at Tailwind: 75 million downloads/month, more popular than ever, revenue down 80%, docs traffic down 40%, 75% of engineering team laid off. Someone submitted a PR to add LLM-optimized docs and Wathan had to decline - optimizing for agents accelerates his business's death. He's being asked to build the infrastructure for his own obsolescence. Two of the most common OSS business models: - Open Core: Give away the library, sell premium once you reach critical mass (Tailwind UI, Prisma Accelerate, Supabase Cloud...) - Expertise Moat: Be THE expert in your library - consulting gigs, speaking, higher salary Tailwind just proved the first one is dying. Agents bypass the documentation funnel. They don't see your premium tier. Every project relying on docs-to-premium conversion will face the same pressure: Prisma, Drizzle, MikroORM, Strapi, and many more. The core insight: OSS monetization was always about attention. Human eyeballs on your docs, brand, expertise. That attention has literally moved into attention layers. Your docs trained the models that now make visiting you unnecessary. Human attention paid. Artificial attention doesn't. Some OSS will keep going - wealthy devs doing it for fun or education. That's not a system, that's charity. Most popular OSS runs on economic incentives. Destroy them, they stop playing. Why go closed-source? When the monetization funnel is broken, you move payment to the only point that still exists: access. OSS gave away access hoping to monetize attention downstream. Agents broke downstream. Closed-source gates access directly. The final irony: OSS trained the models now killing it. We built our own replacement. My prediction: a new marketplace emerges, built for agents. Want your agent to use Tailwind? Prisma? Pay per access. Libraries become APIs with meters. The old model: free code -> human attention -> monetization. The new model: pay at the gate or your agent doesn't get in.

This company is going to change the world of cloud computing...
felipehuici@felipehuici

🚨I'm beyond ecstatic to announce that we've raised $6M in seed funding to launch Unikraft Cloud -- the only platform that can start *any* workload in < 10ms and scale to 100K+ instances on a single server with instantaneous scale to zero...think catering to millions of users on a few servers instead of an entire data center. All of with strong, hardware-level isolation of course! 🔥 A huge shut out to our amazing investors @heavybit @vercel Ventures, Mango Capital, @Firestreakvc , @FlyVC and @_firstmomentum for believing that a group of tech geeks could build a fundamentally different and exponentially better cloud platform -- that dream and vision is now reality. 🙏 To my co-founders @nderjung and @s_kuenzer , an immense pleasure to be sharing this amazing adventure with you, and now the sky's the limit! 🚀 Oh, and if you're unhappy with and disillusioned with the way the cloud works, here's a message of hope: there's better out there, come check us out! (Link to Business Wire release article in the first comment below 👇)
