🥲😭

@tanmaigo Ok will be there

Today is exactly 30 days from when we said goodbye to slack for 70+ people, and replaced it with PromptQL. ⬇️ DMs are down 66%. ⬇️ The number of SaaS tools is down 20%. ⬆️ PRs submitted are up 50%.  ⬆️ PRs merged are up 25%. AI adoption has skyrocketed at work. There's no central AI team that needs to build custom agents, we just add "skills" to our wiki. We do product spec, implementation, review and ops/SRE together, with claude-code and codex to take on specific coding tasks. AI to help us answer RFPs for customers and AI to keep track of office pantry inventory, and order stuff on Instacart. If you consider yourself AI-pilled and if you're free at 10a PT tomorrow, join us online or in-person for a small launch event to get a glimpse of what our future of work might look like! Link in 🧵

Blast from the past: worked on a robotic waiter idea on EDDIE for the Microsoft Robotics@Home Competition — Microsoft Robotics Studio, Windows, C#, OpenCV, and getting Python to cooperate. Programmed it remotely from Singapore because the robot couldn’t be shipped. Wild how much has changed since then. So much more is possible now. Happy Pi Day! 14 years 3 months ago.

Einstein's birthday, and Pi Day today. Because March 14 is written as 3.14 in the US, the first 3 numbers in the irrational number Pi. And what could be more irrational than thinking that, exactly 25 years ago, two batters could last through the whole day and lead India to one of the greatest ever test victories against the Australian juggernaut. March 14th, Einstein Day, Pi Day, & Dravid and Laxman Day!

Brings back Jalandhar memories

Yup

This week's episode is mostly about robots. Kyle Vogt is one of very few entrepreneurs to found 3 business valued at over a billion dollars - Twitch in 2006, Cruise in 2013, and The Bot Company in 2024. If you've caught any other Uncapped episodes you've probably heard some investors saying that home robots are close and they'll be a giant new market. @kvogt is building them, and talking to him made me as bullish as ever. Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction (0:34) Why robotics is suddenly booming (3:31) Special-purpose vs generalized (5:32) Designing robots people actually use (9:00) Building for scale and affordability (12:17) The myth of humanoids (15:04) Trust, safety, and privacy in your home (17:51) Robotics intelligence (21:01) Why Kyle keeps starting hard companies (22:32) The 100-person rule and elite teams (26:10) How to actually ship (27:28) What home robotics will do first (35:05) Home security and other applications (38:41) Tesla vs Waymo (41:08) When to sell a company (42:41) Marathons

Hey @AravSrinivas—love Perplexity Patents. Idea: pipe results into PatentDock → auto-build draft/claims and export .docx. We use Google Patents with our own ranking on top. Mind taking a look? patentdock.com

Courage is the only remaining moat.. for venture investors. Recommend reading the full piece by @nchirls 👏

@budapp This is awesome

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people; and idiots discuss local real estate. (Completing Eleanor Roosevelt)

Stop using LLMs as your silver bullet. Developers: "LLM will solve this" → product fails → "AI isn't ready yet" LLMs work when they translate between humans and systems. Wrote about it here: devchandan1.substack.com/p/stop-asking-… #AI #LLM #ProductDevelopment #TechTwitter

Awesome 🤩

AI has transformed how we write, code, and design. Not sure if it’s reached the workbenches of everyday builders — the hackers, makers, and inventors. When it does, creating hardware could feel as fast as writing code. What would your tools do, if they could think? #makers #hardware #AI #3Dprinting #physicalintelligence #FutureOfMaking #diy
