Our engineers have been fanboying over this episode with Vercel founder @rauchg all week.
I asked him how he’s built this much loyalty and trust with developers.
“Trust is gonna be one of the most valuable moats for a post-AGI business.”
But he says “trust is an output, not an input.”
Meetups and any tactic you can point to “probably ain’t it.”
What earns it is the unglamorous work: security, fixing bugs, simplicity, great documentation.
This week on Library of Minds, the legend Guillermo Rauch joins us to talk about competing with AWS, selling to agents, building verification loops for agent evals, deciding which SaaS tools to replace, and raising his “six sub-agents” (his kids) in an AI world.

Somewhere right now someone is scrolling a website we built.
Watching a game under a brand we designed. Registering for an event through a platform we developed.
That never gets old. New reel. Proud of our team @wheelhouse_llc and the work we put into the world.
New @wheelhouse_llc website is live. With more case studies and clearer studio positioning.

The Knicks just completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history by erasing a 29-point deficit to take a 3-1 series lead against the Spurs.
Waze is one feature away from saving cyclists' lives.
They already crowdsource potholes, police, and crashes. What if they added cyclist reporting?
Same model. Same network effect. Just a new layer of awareness. @waze ?
I mocked up what it could look like. Thoughts?
My Concept: Strava "AI Mode" Imagine a new tab where the interface shifts from a feed to a conversation. Instead of just seeing that you hit a PR, you can ask why.
dentify Weaknesses: "It looks like your cadence dropped significantly in the final 200m compared to your fastest time."
Actionable Plans: "Build me a 4-week interval plan to shave 15 seconds off this specific segment."

Donald Trump announced he will place a 90-day pause on some tariffs, walking back his announcement last week.
The move led to a surge in stocks, including sports apparel stocks like Nike, Adidas, and Lululemon, which all saw their shares pummeled last week.

10 things the Republicans have done in the last month
1. The official White House account posted this horrifying video with the caption: “ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight.” As you watch, I want you to imagine the depravity of the entire Republican Party to post a video that glorifies this cruelty.
When mass deportations happen, people die. Families are separated. Children are bullied. Some grow up orphans.
