Ardent (@ArdentAI) let's you clone any Postgres DB <6s at TB scale so coding agents can test their code and engineering teams can ship fast without fear of taking down production. It's already being used by dozens of teams like Supermemory and Surface Labs with 10TB+ of data across customers. Congrats on the launch, @vchennai2! ycombinator.com/launches/QE3-a…
Some personal news! Recently, I stepped back from the day-to-day at @Instacart to focus on investing full-time. I sat down with my friend @jaltma on Uncapped to talk about building Instacart and my philosophy on early-stage investing — check it out here!
For this episode of Uncapped I got to sit down with my close friend @Max, cofounder of Instacart 🥕 We talked about the key moments of Instacart...how it got started, critical wins, tough losses, competitive dynamics, earned insights, going public, and Instacart's future. Max
is there a limit to the number of tabs a google doc can have? asking for a friend.
Its wild that there are already 30+ vibe coding books on amazon when we are just barely starting to figure out what works
I'm going to do deep dives into these capabilities in my newsletter: operationalai.substack.com Subscribe if you want to see evals based on real world use cases, model/tool reviews, and practical advice on how to deploy AI.
When talking to people that don’t really understand AI, I find it helpful to frame it as a set of 10 new software capabilities that didn’t exist a few years ago: - Natural-Language Understanding - the ability to deeply understand written content - Reasoning - the ability to connect facts and context to draw sound conclusions - Planning - the ability to break a big goal into clear, ordered steps - Instruction Following - the ability to stick to detailed, multi-step directions without drifting - Writing & Summarization - the ability to expand notes into polished prose or shrink long text into briefs - Tool Use - the ability to decide when an external APIs is needed to complete a task and call it - Browser & Desktop Automation - the ability to click through unstructured GUIs and web pages when no API exists - Code Generation - the ability to produce clean, runnable code and queries on demand - Image & Video Understanding - the ability to interpret pictures and footage for objects, text, and anomalies - Voice Synthesis & Recognition - the ability to listen, transcribe, and speak in real time with natural cadence It's not a human-like entity that's gonna take our jobs. It's just a piece of technology that can unlock new experiences, products, and automations that weren't possible until recently.
If OpenAI buys Windsurf and then forces us to use only their models I will be sad.
Just tried to join my first Zoom meeting in awhile and of course their website is completely down lol I hate to become more reliant on Google products, but Meet is way better. Let's all just use that for now.
the vast majority of people still have no idea how powerful the current models are
Figuring out 1-of-1 printing for AI generated storybooks has been a pain. All the providers we looked at were either very expensive or had quality issues. We finally have a solution I'm excited about and the first few books are printing soon!!
If you are looking to hire a team of experienced AI Engineers to work on product features, automation, or agents, DM me. More info coming soon.
I'm partnering with some technical founders from the first batch of TimeToBuild to start an applied AI agency. I’m really excited about this for 2 reasons: 1. Helping companies deploy AI is a massive opportunity. Most companies aren’t close to fully utilizing the technology that is available today. 2. I can help more engineers leave their 9-5s to do AI research, explore their own ideas, and start companies. This is the core mission of TimeToBuild.
@adrianpcarbone ya same, many people travel this road and always end up at the same place

This is book 1 in a series I'm making for my 5yo who is learning to read Spanish. He is the main character along with our dog and I am incorporating a bunch of things he's interested in. I expect him to fly through this when the hard copy arrives.
