Make money, make no mistakes.

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

BugBasher used public restaurant inspection data for cold outreach and earned $75 from pest-control referrals in four weeks.

The idea: to build an agentic exterminator service. New York City publishes the result of every restaurant health inspection, including pest violations.

Four weeks and a lot of phone calls later, it had made $75.

How I make launch videos with AI

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Jake Moran turns product context into story angles, approved still-frame storyboards, then reusable HTML, CSS, and JavaScript launch-video scenes with HyperFrames.

Then I ask the agent to build one still frame per scene and lay them out in a grid - a contact sheet, basically a page of thumbnails, one for each row of the table.

The rule I push hardest: everything on screen is real UI. Anyone who uses the product knows what it looks like, and an invented button breaks it for all of them.

A HyperFrames video is a folder of HTML files, so once a scene works, you can reuse it in the next video.

How I built a $300K ARR consumer app in 8 months

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Akshaya details how he validated, built, and marketed a healthcare app to $300K ARR in eight months with a small AI-assisted team.

Now that AI has made it so easy to build an app, you should be spending as much time figuring the right things to build as you are actually building it.

Before you even start building anything, start a TikTok & Instagram account and start posting founder-POV content talking about your app.

Make a Posthog dashboard to track your entire funnel: app install → go through onboarding questions → paywall conversion rates → app usage → retention.

Inside Cursor

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Brie Wolfson reports on Cursor’s in-person culture, talent-first recruiting, deep-work norms, dogfooding, constructive friction, and focus on raising expert developers’ ceiling.

Michael often says he wants Cursor to be a “haven for self-motivated individual contributors.” And so far, it is.

Because Cursor team members are Cursor’s ideal users, everyone is looking for product-market fit internally on the features and infrastructure they believe in.

At Cursor, critics are also problem-solvers. The “friction” here works because everyone genuinely wants the best for the product and each other.

Writing Rust code that's faster than state-of-the-art…

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Max Woolf shows agents repeatedly optimizing Rust benchmarks by 2× to 20× with baselines, explicit targets, correctness gates, and anti-cheating constraints.

After months of testing and experimenting since the release of Opus 4.5 made agentic coding more viable, I can confidently confirm that modern agentic LLMs can indeed write Rust code that is significantly faster than current state-of-the-art approaches if given appropriate guardrails and constraints.

What I needed was a clear target goal that can be pass/failed, so I refined the prompt:

It must be reiterated that agents can and will cheat if they can.

AI Will Expand the Creative Canvas

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Jeffrey Katzenberg argues AI will expand creative work, but fair adoption requires artists' consent, credit, compensation, and leadership.

Tools are never the point. The instruments change with every generation. What endures is taste and imagination.

The right path forward includes them by design, with credit, with consent, and with compensation. Build this with the storytellers. Not on top of them.

The tools-versus-no-tools argument is a trap. First, we must all agree that there should be terms.

Thinking in Systems, Shipping in Loops

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Tomasz Tunguz argues software engineers now design agent systems, constraints, and verification loops rather than hand-writing every line of code.

This is the new software engineering : designing the systems that let AI write code correctly at scale.

Three properties define great system design : resilience, self-organization & hierarchy.

Self-organization is the loop learning, so a class of failure becomes a new skill the agent applies next time.

Automating repetitive work at OpenAI with Codex

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Jeremy Lewi describes using Codex and Runme notebooks to plan, execute and document repetitive OpenAI engineering work like Kubernetes cluster setup and model evaluations.

Codex reads the notebook and updates it as the work progresses.

The result is a notebook that documents the steps required to complete the task, along with the dead ends.

Runme brings the intent, actions, decisions, and outcomes into the same artifact.

I still decide when a plan is ready and when a consequential choice needs human judgment.

How to Pivot Your SaaS Company in the Age of AI

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Jon Yongfook argues cheap AI-built features killed SaaS moats, then lists seven ways founders can still compete: operations, distribution, agents, underserved markets, hardware, pricing, consolidation.

Competing on features is over, because anyone can build any feature in a weekend now.

The hard part is the deliverability relationships, the compliance, the sheer boredom of keeping the thing up.

If two products have identical features, and they will, the one with the audience wins.

Own the market, then sell them the things that aren't commodities yet.

Find your writing voice by copying others' style

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Jason Cohen argues that copying other writers' style, not their words, is a practical way to discover your own voice and strengths as a writer.

High School English III doesn't teach you how to write prose in the real world any more than a college CS degree teaches you how to write code in the real world.

Rather, copying is one of the best ways of learning, growing, evaluating, and exploring. It's a valid tool so long as we regard it as a means to an end.

The goal is to learn and grow as a writer, and this was fun to do.

Copying ironically helps you discover yourself: The way to discovering who you are, what you value, what you're good at, what you believe, is to try things on, like clothes, to see what fits.

Historical awe for the everyday things at home

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Ordinary Abundance pairs a modern apartment's daily objects, music, light, photography, medicine, plumbing, with historical quotes describing each as a miracle when new.

If we could have devised an arrangement for providing everybody with music in their homes, perfect in quality, unlimited in quantity, suited to every mood, and beginning and ceasing at will, we should have considered the limit of human felicity already attained.

The strange, weird light, exceeded in power only by the sun, yet mild as moonlight, rendered the Court House square as light as midday.

A museum without walls has been opened to us, and it will carry infinitely farther that limited revelation of the world of art which the real museums offer us within their walls.

You have erased from the calendar of human afflictions one of its greatest.
