Spilling some beans š¤« This very startup is actually looking for their first design engineer:
tasklet.notion.site/Staff-Deā¦
It's an incredible opportunity, owning the product design end-to-end. They've identified that great design is essential for them.
Funnily, I've told the founder to *not* look for a "design engineer." I told him, the most cracked product designers are all AI-pilled and now working with code anyway. If that's you and you're remotely curious, highly rec to get in touch with the founder.
Oh and, did I mention, it's the Firebase founder?!

Today's quality of life improvement in @NotionHQ: draft PRs now have their own distinct visual state to differentiate them from open PRs.

FIFA is and always has been a scam organization. Itās a shame such a beautiful game is connected to such an ugly group. The entire ticketing process has misled fans who just want to experience a lifelong dream.

Iāve had a side project called Conductor for a couple years now. Different space but I considered conductor.build when buying a domain. Still have released nothing. Goes to show that you gotta ship or youāll end searching for a new name. Good luck to the team. Great name.

Big news for @conductor_build!
We've raised a $22m Series A from Spark and Matrix.
We raised this round from @ilyasu at Matrix, who also led our seed round and is joining our board, @nabeel at Spark, @ycombinator, and founders of Notion and Linear. We're grateful to be working with investors we trust and admire.
Hereās how we got here and where weāre going:

The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction.
That gets the future wrong. The best things arenāt built alone.
In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for:
ā Think Together

The internal discourse around naming this new block `header_4` or `sub_sub_sub_header` was my favorite part of this launch. Choosing names that won't shoot you in the foot in a decade is hard. Don't let perfect stop you from shipping.
Heading 4 is finally here š¤ The years of ājust bold the text and pretendā are over.
Rolling out now.

LLMs unearthing the fact that the average dev is not very good at code review and generally just LGTMs it most of the time

Me trying to understand the Vite / Void ecosystem naming. But really, Vite looks great and it's awesome that it is open source.

I'm in search of the best agentic development environment. I have recently tried:
- Claude Code (CLI app)
- Codex (CLI app)
- OpenCode (CLI app)
- Intent
- T3Code
- Amp
- cmux
- Superset
- Polyscope
- Constellagent
What else you got?

Support open source! And urge your employer to directly support the tools you build with and rely on. @brian_lovin has been a huge proponent of this internally. Kudos to him for getting people paid.

Dashboards are a natural evolution of Notion's "blocks within blocks" system design, just applied to database views. Right now you can only nest other views within a dashboard. But what if you could add other blocks in there too? š¤
Introducing Dashboards. The bird's-eye view your databases needed.
Boards, tables, charts, timelines ā all in one clear, glanceable DB view. Rolling out now.

Yes here is my 10 minute breathless rant about why I'm so excited about Notion Workers Custom Agents...
Context:
I spent this afternoon building a custom agent to help me manage Shiori (a side project I shipped last weekend). I gave the custom agent everything it needs to understand what's happening in my product (email, log drain, sentry alerts, stripe payments, etc) and to do work on my behalf (access to coding agents).
In an afternoon of tinkering, this agent can:
- Diagnose bug reports proactively by looking through past email conversations, system logs, and database records
- Draft replies to user questions with the correct answer based on past email threads, or help me proactively reach out to churning paid users
- Self-construct a database of feature requests with an understanding of who is requesting the feature and how they're using the product today
- Answer any question I have about how people use the app and what I should be thinking about next
- Initiate Claude Code workflows to open PRs proactively in the background when someone sends a bug report or feature request
This custom agent is now my "Side Project Chief of Staff" (I don't really know what a chief of staff does but this sounds right).
I didn't write a single line of the worker code because I didn't need to: models are so good that I can link to the Workers readme, yap my desired outcome into a microphone, and I get a super-personal and highly-capable AI agent out the other side.
So fucking cool. The future is now!
I'm excited to see what everyone makes.
