You don't have to trade quality for speed anymore. The future has arrived.

At HumanLayer, we’re on a mission to solve the AI slop code problem. In 2025 we open-sourced our Research, Plan, Implement framework, now deployed inside fortune 500s like Block and Uber - places where shipping slop is just not an option And that was just the beginning. Today, we’re opening access to HumanLayer - an Agentic IDE, collaboration platform, and building blocks for your software factory. HumanLayer enables engineers solving hard problems in complex codebases to: > move 2-3x faster across the entire SDLC (not just coding) > maintain rigorous standards for system architecture and program design Hundreds of engineers at companies of all sizes are already using HumanLayer to ship fast without sacrificing quality. I'm excited to invite you to try humanlayer today at humanlayer.com, and I'm even more excited to see what you build. @0xblacklight and I are deeply grateful to our team, our customers who give us so much incredible energy and feedback, our investors who have always been in our corner, and our friends and family who have supported us along this crazy journey if you're a staff or principal engineer trying to make AI coding work at scale for your team, we'd love to hear from you as @swyx likes to say - let's make this the year of no more slop

Ploy has led to a fundamental shift in how I think about my website and marketing. The "ploys" are actionable, useful, and gave me ideas I would never have thought of before. Highly recommend to anyone building.

AI is making marketers lazy. So we made the website do the work instead. Today, we're launching @ployai: the all-in-one marketing platform that turns your website into your hardest working employee. And we're coming out of stealth today with a $27M seed led by @ycombinator and @firstround. I spent 12 years at Webflow as the founding CTO where I built the product, but also started our marketing and sales teams that drove our fastest periods of growth. That experience made one thing obvious: the website is the center of your business. And it's only more important in the age of AI. Foundation model apps can generate assets. Point solutions can optimize pieces of the funnel. But nothing runs the whole growth system: your site, brand, CMS, CRM, campaigns, analytics, SEO, AEO, and customer data all working together. Until now. Teams at @hex_tech and @clay_run, and growth agencies like Tonik and TNT Growth, are already powering sites on Ploy. Hex is generating on-brand ABM pages at scale, Clay is using its data to power a programmatic SEO engine, and TNT Growth is spinning up a landing page for each of their clients’ ads. Wake up every morning with a report from Ploy - with what it did, and what it wants to do next. Approve it. Ship it. Or be lazy and just watch it cook.

For most of history, expertise was scarce, constrained by time and reach: one person, one career, one lifetime. Now, for the first time, we can encode, evaluate, and scale it. We believe the wisdom that once took a lifetime to build shouldn’t take a lifetime to find. Today, we’re excited to announce that @AfterQuery has raised a $30M Series A at a $300M valuation and that we’ve since surpassed $100M in annual revenue run rate, to build the data layer of professional AI.

"Rather than requiring teams to configure multiple monitoring systems, @sazabi collects log data and uses AI to interpret it at scale." Excited to share this article by @pgillin from @SiliconANGLE, one of the best-known and most technical reporters to cover the observability market. I'm excited about this one b/c it doesn't stop at "logs are all you need"... 👀 Instead, it digs into some specifics about our technology and how we're leveraging AI for literally everything - from speeding-up investigations to generating alerts automatically to reducing storage costs. I know many of y'all are curious about how Sazabi works. This one's for you! :) Link in the comments. 👇

@morganlinton I look at that as a client-side problem. Can be solved via progressive discovery, it's just that most clients decide to load every tool into the context window when they shouldn't be

@bernhardsson CI has become the bottleneck for nearly everything for me recently. Having an agent finish a feature in 2 minutes, then waiting 20 minutes for CI to finish, kills productivity.

CI feels more interesting today than it ever was. Writing code has gotten a lot faster, but this shifts the bottleneck elsewhere. I’m excited about sandboxes as a primitive for massive parallelization of tests.

@diptanu Yeah I think we'll see sandboxes move to be more stateful over time. The issue is going to be maintaining that state while also keeping cold start latency low.

My prediction for the DX of sandbox infrastructure is that they will be invisible. Harnesses which need an isolated file system will be implicitly sandboxed. Managing life cycle of sandboxes feels primitive. Call the harness over HTTP to start a session starts the harness in a stateful sandbox automatically. Once the agent finishes its work, the infrastructure needs to suspend it and bring it back for subsequent sessions. This is it.

@morganlinton Yeah, agreed still a lot of ways to do things wrong with MCP. No silver bullet, but I do like that it has at least some standards if you do decide to follow the spec.

@MattLenhard Well security is up to you whether you're using MCP or CLI. I've seen a lot of ppl totally screw up security slapping an MCP on top of an API and letting agents have access to creds.

Hey hey everyone! Wanted to let you know we just released Storage out of beta! This means all apps can upload images, documents, etc. with Instant. Free apps can store up to 1GB and paid ups can store up to 10GB and then $0.125/GB after.

Noticing a lot of AI Overviews showing up instantly. Probably Google now doing caching of answers and not generating again and again!

@glenngabe can be especially problematic when a staging subdomain is inadvertently indexed.

After surfacing this two more times recently for newer clients, I decided to write it up -> Find your subdomains. Know your subdomains – The SEO importance of finding all subdomains for your site. Oh, and this can impact ads too... There are some quick ways to surface all subdomains for your site (especially ones with search visibility). And rogue subdomains could cause problems both SEO-wise and for your ads. I cover several tools for finding subdomains along with why you want to be fully aware of those subdomains. Don't get blindsided. gsqi.com/marketing-blog…

@ViperChill Honestly surprised it’s not even higher. The last report / roundup you put out was one of if not the most interesting things I’ve read all year. Easy to see all the hard work that went into it.

Humble (re)beginnings. So many cool (to me) content angles I'm working on at the moment. First one will be wrapped up in ~2 weeks. These numbers are without sending emails / posting on social, which I'm hoping to grow the most.

@NicheDown Pretty surprising that Google still struggles with hallucinations at such a fundamental level, while sites like perplexity seem to have least have them somewhat under control

@dejanseo The problem is that Google has so competently muddied the waters over the years that people don't know what to believe even when the facts are right in front of them.

@glenngabe Certainly a better experience than what you get with Google natively. I would also be worried if I was a comparison shopping affiliate site reliant on traffic from organic.

Alarms are going off at Google HQ right now 🚨🚨 -> Perplexity introduces a shopping feature for Pro users in the U.S. "For shopping-related search queries, the tool presents users with visual cards that have details of the product, pricing, and seller info, a short description, and the pros and cons of the item in question. Users can click or tap on the card to read more information, including reviews and detailed key features." techcrunch.com/2024/11/18/per…
