I made my own launch video in plain TypeScript.
No After Effects. No animation libraries. No stock music.
Every frame is a function of time, every cut lands on the beat, and the soundtrack is synthesized in the browser with the Web Audio API.
Agent mistake that keeps showing up: it makes the failing test pass by editing the test.
Fix: tell it the tests are read-only.
Tests are the spec. The code is what's allowed to change.

That’s why I’ll never share my SaaS to the founders community
Sell to people who barely use ChatGPT
😅 @marclou inspired me by churning from Beehiiv to vibe-code his own newsletter tool
so when DataFast hit me with an upgrade popup yesterday, I pulled a Marc on Marc 😭
moved all 23 sites to my own Hetzner server in one morning:
🧰 backfilled 3.6M visitors + 7,600 Stripe/Polar payments across 23 sites
🚀 12x–225x faster queries (benchmarked from 1,152ms → 92ms)
📊 ripped out Recharts for native SVG (bundle 536kB → 96kB)
🔌 custom Stripe, Polar, GSC & ClickHouse connectors
🤖 direct MCP access for my coding agents
🇪🇺 100% first-party on EU Hetzner (no 3rd-party sub-processors, no GDPR headaches, no adblockers)
💸 $0/mo, unlimited events
honestly it's just more responsible to self-host your analytics anyway, you own the raw visitor + payment data instead of leaking it to a 3rd party and can ensure you fix all the latest security dependency issues and your Stripe keys don't leak and you can make improvements for your specific stack
he was right: once you have a server and an agent, you don't click "upgrade plan" anymore
SaaS-pocalypse
Harness tip: put your rules in the project file, not the prompt.
"Never touch migrations" belongs in the repo once, not in your head every session.
The AI-era skill that holds up: writing a clear spec.
If a stranger or an agent can build the right thing from your description on the first try, you're ahead of most people.
If you're job hunting: a live project people can click beats a resume bullet.
Someone can open it in ten seconds. They can't open a bullet point.
Keep shipping while you apply.

Brother you just havent been alone for long enough for you to develop multiple personalities like us serial entrepreneurs yet - don't worry it will come for you.
Atleast that's what Princess Fred the Product Management Fairy is telling me right now.
8 years of shipping for clients, 2 years shipping solo.
Solo taught me more about what people want. Nobody hands you a spec when you're the only one in the room.
The pancake.ai party guestlist just dropped and I'm already jealous of everyone in SF this Thursday.
it’s genuinely MIND-BLOWING how many cool guests are coming to the pancake party to break a Guinness World Record
folks from @OpenAI @SpaceX @Apple @nvidia @harvey @Waymo @mercor @crusoeai @Etched @sesame @databricks @harvey @Etched and many more tier-1 companies
it's going to be legendary
see you at @corgicafeco this thursday

AI agents aren’t just answering questions anymore. They’re shopping on people’s behalf. Today we’re launching Scope Journeys for Muse and Instinct.
Want to see how agents purchase from you? Book a demo: tryscope.com/
See what agents are trying to buy, follow their buying decisions, and find out what stops them from purchasing.
Scope identifies the issue and prepares the fix. All you need to do is approve it.
See how it works 👇
An agent's memory can be a folder of markdown files it reads at the start of every session.
What you tried, what failed, what you decided.
You don't need a fancy app. Plain files work.
SEO tells you how Google ranks you. It doesn't tell you how an AI agent reads your product.
Scope shows what agents compare, where they lose confidence and why they pick a competitor. Then it fixes it once you approve.

Most shipping work is invisible when it works.
A faster page, a fixed edge case, a form that no longer breaks.
Nobody notices. That's the job.
