Been building the 'Cursor for Spreadsheets' ever since I got sick with the flu over winter break and was stuck away from my family with nothing to do. Kept on building thru nights & weekends. It’s called sheetlang[.]ai Since this is a side project, I’m rolling it out waitlist-first. But before you sign up, let me show you what it can do🧵

Was talking to a friend that works at a paper and packaging company in Monterrey, Mexico. They are SO far off from integrating AI yet there are pieces of their workflow that can be automated but you need to fully dive into the know-how of it. Gave me hope that there is still a market that the frontier labs will never ever touch

The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures. > Fred Brooks

Black October

I am becoming a fan of printing the html artifacts, mermaid diagrams and pdfs that my agents produce for understanding concepts

It’s a podcast about nothing

durable objects is all you need

Really cool learnings from this

being on the edge is cool, makes you see what’s missing.. For example, coding with background agents now requires every repo to have a usable ready staging branch where you and your agent can test out changes you’ve made

gonna try and revamp old spreadsheet product using @conductor_build mobile during the weekend

there's so many nuances around shipping an MCP server that no one really tells you about

ship beautiful, useful products

my coding agents at low reasoning effort

there’s still so much to build!

been playing a lot with generating small-form ad based content with Opus 5.5. Made one for my favorite instant-coffee

with the release of sonnet 5.5 I’m not really sure where Haiku 5.5 ( which they said they’ll release soon ) fits in. So confused rn with roles of the medium and small models

my god, everyone’s building the same thing

Vannevar Bush on inventions and inventors “An invention has some of the characteristics of a poem. Standing alone, by itself, it has no value; that is, no value of a financial sort. This does not mean that inventions—or poems—have no value. It is said that a poet may derive real joy out of making a poem, even if it is never published, even if he does not recite it to his friends, even if it is not a very good poem. No doubt, one has to be a poet to understand this. In the same way, an inventor can derive real satisfaction out of making an invention, even if he never expects to make a nickel out of it, even if he knows it is a bit foolish, provided he feels it involves ingenuity and insight. An inventor invents because he cannot help it, and also because he gets quiet fun out of doing so. Sometimes he even makes money at it, but not by himself. One has to be an inventor to understand this.”

well glad we didn’t launch today
