I think these agent apps - the kind you and I and our friends have been hacking for ourselves are the first new computing platform shift we’ve seen since mobile. I think they’re going to reshape everything.
What should a startup founder do about AI security?
Short answer: ask your technical lead five plain questions this week, fix the basics, and take a specific ask to your board.
Here's why I think it's urgent, and the questions.
Five questions for your CTO:
1. Hours to patch production, and who decides?
2. How do we know an update is safe, and can we roll back?
3. Where do our keys live, and how fast can we revoke them?
4. What can our agents touch?
5. Who gets the 3am alert?
None of this needs you to be technical. It needs you to ask, as a partner, and then give your team the time and budget to fix what they find.

This random guy on the internet has it all wrong. Too many startups are picks and shovels. In such a crowded marketplace, tou actually gotta niche down - pick or shovel.
Twenty years of @edbatista's writing, a post a week, no AI in mind.
Today it's Ed Bot: a free conversational coach, 100k+ conversations, and one @Medium's CEO says he's used in three difficult moments.
I built it.
The full story, and the optimist's case for AI and writing:

We were thrilled to work with her and check her out on The @TamronHallShow today!
AI is helping C-level execs become individual contributors again. @OUI_thePeople's Karen Young rebuilt her eCom site, launched a digital chief of Staff, and used Claude to optimize her physical events strategy. We sat down with Karen Young to learn how her ongoing AI work and partnership with Superculture (@tarikh) are helping her chart a new path to growth: futurecommerce.com/posts/ins…
A couple of weeks ago, @edbatista and I were invited by @Medium to speak about AI, writing, and the future of coaching. After 100k conversations in the custom rag we call Ed Bot, I’m publishing the full story of building it - what worked, what broke, and what we’ve learned along the way.
In this clip, Ed asks when I first saw the possibility of turning twenty years of his writing into a virtual coach. This was my answer.
More from our conversation and the case study later this week!
I made my first $40 with AI. I sold a trash can.
Instinct beat @Muse to the sale, then won the cover contest. Dot wrote and edited the story, with notes from both rivals.
Three AIs. One trash can. I do still have to take out the trash (and collect the cash) tho 🤷

.@futurecommerce led its latest Insiders issue with my wife Karen's company, OUI THE PEOPLE. She directed her own storefront rebuild through Codex. Superculture built the working system and held review and release.
More of the founder made it into the work.
