Me this last week while i was locked in vibe coding (Sorry @Romain_Lapeyre, it's addictive)

The most addictive part of vibe coding: "That will take 2-3 days for a basic version." "Ok let's try" ... ⏳17 minutes later⏳ "It's now working!

I mean hard to stop vibe coding when your ideas are brilliant Seriously

The most anticipated show of the week. This one has more bangers than a Coldplay concert… - Lovable Raises at $2BN & Hits $100M ARR - Is Cursor Worth $28BN at $1BN in ARR? - How Do All Providers Deal with Anthropic Dependency Risk? - Are Seed Funds F**ked? Have Mega Funds Won? - Figma IPO Breakdown: Where Does It Price? My 5 takeaways with @jasonlk & @rodriscoll 👇

Done over 1,000 hires at this point. I’ve got a simple rule now 2 weeks in I do a gut check has anyone on the team told me this person is awesome? If not that’s a red flag. Great hires make life easier for everyone. People should be excited.

1/ listening to @jasonlk on 20VC and loved this point: the moat for AI IDEs (replit, lovable, etc.) isn’t necessarily “we’re on the hottest model.” it’s “we can make smaller/older models (sonnet vs. opus) feel magical to the user.”

Your family will never really understand what you go through as a founder And what it really takes Not really

When two startups each go from almost $0 to $100m ARR in just a few months ... The big guys come out to play, too. (And that's stressful. But you know so, so much. And it's all that you do)

This isn't just theory. In a must-read post, @saastr pulls back the curtain on their own results with AI automation. The Numbers Don't Lie (and they're SaaStr's own): - Their team sent 4,495 AI emails in 2 weeks → achieving the #1 response rate on the platform they used. - An AI vendor they use handled 139,000+ AI conversations in just a few months. - They’ve found that 95% of inbound BDR work can be automated TODAY. ✅ AI's Strike Zone: For playbook-driven roles (SDRs/BDRs), AI can already handle 90% of the workflow. As their own data shows, this is a straight ROI decision. ❌ The Human Moat: For roles requiring deep trust and complex strategy (AEs, CSMs), human value remains the core differentiator. AI can't replicate that. 🚀 The Real Game-Changer: The challenge isn't the tool, but the orchestration. The scarcest talent will be the 'Orchestrators' who design these new human-AI workflows.
