Launched our invite-only beta with a few customers about a month ago. Last week we surpassed 200 weekly active users. Let the fun begin.

Software is like stand up comedy. You don’t know if it really works until you put it in front of a live audience.

Another incredible post from Paul Stamatiou. These qualities are amplified at an early stage startup, but will make you a more successful designer in any context.

I'm fairly technically inclined (for a designer), but one of the blockers for me getting into the codebase is dealing with dev environment errors.
Cursor removes most of that blocker for me. It usually gives me the command I need to run to fix dependency problems.
AI isn't a panacea. I still need humans to fix stuff sometimes. I will take the advice to "consult with your team" here.
I could potentially muddle through and figure out how to fix it. But there's a good chance that'll take me an hour or two. And simply pairing with a dev will probably resolve it in 5-10 minutes.

I've really been liking Claude Artifacts for knocking out simple prototypes. Prototyping anything with mild logic complexity is a PITA in Figma. Here's a quick example.

As a human, I find this format of writing user stories awkward and confusing and would prefer that you focus on narrative so that I can actually understand WTF you're talking about.
