In 2020 I was a music school owner who never thought he would do anything else. The pandemic and an Instagram ad for @bubble changed my life. In 2021 my new remote career brought me down to Florida with my wife and son. 🧵⬇️

Optimism is why founders start companies…and it's also why they miss the warning signs. @Behance founder @scottbelsky joins @emmanuel_s on The New Build to unpack why the trait that gets you going can be the same one that blinds you. Listen below.

You know why I don’t buy the “everyone will build their own software” take? I can build this. I have the tools. I know how (probably). But I don't want to. I want someone else to to build it maintain it, and charge me for it.

I want the following in Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode... 1. Pinned Messages: Let me pin assistant messages to the sidebar for things I want to keep track of but am not ready to address yet. Render as a checklist & jump navigation. 2. Notes: Give me a scratchpad for thoughts while working.

Today we reduced headcount by 22%. The business is the strongest it's ever been. So I think it's important to be direct about what I'm seeing and why. First, I made this decision and I own it. I did it because the way to operate at the highest level of productivity is changing, and to win the future, ClickUp needs to change with it. Second, this wasn't about cutting costs. Most savings from this change will flow directly back into the people who stay. We'll be introducing million-dollar salary bands. If you create outsized impact using AI, you'll be paid outside of traditional bands. Most importantly, I have the deepest gratitude for those affected. We're doing this from a position of strength specifically so we can take care of people properly. Everyone affected receives a package aimed at honoring their contributions and easing the transition. I only see two options: wait for this to play out gradually in the market or be honest about what I'm seeing and act proactively. THE 100X ORGANIZATION The primary change is that we're restructuring around what I call 100x org. The goal is 100x output. The roles required to build at the highest level are fundamentally different than they were a year ago. Incremental improvements to existing systems won't get us there. We need new ones. That means creating enough disruption to rebuild rather than iterate on what's already broken. The common narrative is that AI makes everyone more productive. It doesn't. Many of the workflows of today, if left unchanged, create bottlenecks in AI systems. These roles will evolve. But waiting for that to happen naturally means falling behind now. The 100x org is actually heavily dependent on people - infinitely more than today. This is only possible with 10x people that have embraced and adopted new ways of working. THE BUILDERS, AGENT MANAGERS, AND FRONT-LINERS — THE BUILDERS: 10X ENGINEERS I don't think most companies have internalized what's actually happening with AI in engineering. The common narrative is that AI makes all engineers more productive. That may be true in isolation, but at an organization level - that is the farthest thing from reality. Here's what we've validated recently at ClickUp: the great engineers, the ones who can orchestrate, architect, and review, are becoming 100x engineers. They're not writing code. They're directing agents that write code. The skill is judgment. AI makes the best engineers wildly more productive, and everyone else using AI slows these engineers down. Think about it - the bottlenecks are (1) orchestration - telling AI what to do, and (2) reviewing - what AI did. Everything is leapfrogged and no longer needed. So who do you want orchestrating and reviewing code? And how do you want your best engineers to spend their time? If your best engineers are spending time reviewing other people's code, then this is inherently an inefficient bottleneck. These engineers can review their agent's code much faster than reviewing human code. The new world is about enabling your 10x engineers to become 100x. The wrong strategy is to push every engineer to use infinite tokens. Companies doing this are celebrating 500% more pull requests. But customer outcomes don't match the volume of code being generated. I call this the great reckoning of AI coding, and every company will face this soon if not already. More code is just another bottleneck to the best engineers, and ultimately to your company's impact as well. — THE BUILDERS: 10X PRODUCT MANAGERS Product management and design roles are merging. Designers that have customer focus, become more like product managers. And product managers that have intuition for UX become more like designers. The bottleneck of user research is gone. It takes us just one mention of an agent to kickoff research and analyze results. The bottleneck of product <> design iteration is also gone. The product builder iterates on their own, along with agents and skills that ensure alignment with quality and strategy. Also controversial today - I believe that the wrong strategy is to have your PMs shipping code - that just introduces another bottleneck that the best engineers will waste their time on. To be clear, PMs should be coding but they should do this in a playground to iterate, validate, and scope. That code should not go to production. Everything outside of managing systems, orchestrating AI, and reviewing output becomes a bottleneck. That's why the other roles that are critical along with these are the systems managers (to reduce bottlenecks) along with a bottleneck you can't replace - customer meeting time. — THE SYSTEM MANAGERS Ironically, the people that automate their jobs with AI will always have a job. They become owners of the AI systems - agent managers. We have many examples of these people at ClickUp. The underlying systems in which we operate are absolutely critical to get right. I think most companies are delusional to think they can iterate on existing systems and compete in this new world. You must create enough disruption so that old systems are deprecated entirely. If there's any definition for 'AI native' that's what it is. — THE FRONT-LINERS In a world that will become saturated with AI communication, the human touch will matter more than anything to customers. This is a bottleneck that you shouldn't replace - even when agents are high enough quality to do video meetings. One-on-one meeting time with customers is something that shouldn't be automated. The systems around the meetings should be - so that front-liners spend nearly 100% of their time with customers. REWARDING 100X IMPACT In a world where companies are able to do so much more with less, where does that excess money go? In our case, much of the savings in this new operating model will flow directly back to those that enabled it. We must reward people that create productivity accordingly. This aligns incentives on both sides. Plus, in a world where your best people create 100x impact, you can't afford to lose them. You should aim to retain these employees for decades. The context they have and their ability to efficiently orchestrate and review will be nearly impossible to replace. Compensation bands of today should be thrown out the door. We're introducing $1 million cash/year salary bands with a path available to nearly everyone in the company if they produce 100x impact by creating or managing AI systems. THE FUTURE Nearly every company will make changes like these. The ones that do it proactively will define what comes next. The future is not fewer people. It's different work, new roles, and better rewards for those who embrace it. We're already seeing entirely new roles emerge, like Agent Managers, that didn't exist a year ago. ClickUp is positioning to lead this shift, not just internally, but for our customers too. I've never been more certain about where we're headed.

Bullish on @cursor_ai.
The cursor fall-off is going to be studied for decades. I don't know any engineer who uses them anymore. Not to say that others don't, but it's obvious that they're no longer on the tech frontier. Still, a $60b outcome in 4 years is nothing to sneeze at...

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

"Worse than web3?" No, definitely not.
Wow, another Ai tool that does the same sh*t the one yesterday does. Disappointing to see people I follow and know take a paycheck for this stuff. I only have 7.6k followers and I get asked for quotes to participate in launches like this. It’s all trash. Worse than web3?

It's so hard to describe the vibe difference between Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 (for coding) GPT is smarter and can unblock you, but it gets stuck in stupid ways and strangles itself with context sometimes. Opus will go down the most insane paths and refuse to acknowledge obvious answers, but it understands intent better and has more taste. Whenever I use one for more than an hour, I always reach to the other to "clean up". Best part? All of this changes every few weeks 🙃

Always love seeing well known folks talk about Crohn’s! I was diagnosed at 5 years old and took Remicade for almost a decade
Apr 27
MrBeast opens up about living with Crohn’s disease "When I was 15, I just started going to the bathroom 8, 9, 10 times a day not digesting any food. You drop weight rapidly and it hurts like crazy, it feels like someone's stabbing you in the gut with a knife constantly" "I'm on an extreme medicine called Remicade where you basically nuke your immune system. I just got the flu, I got covid six times, I got shingles, I get sick all the time" "It's pretty brutal to be honest. I live life on hard mode"

Image upload is live in the Bubble AI Agent — hand it a design reference or a mockup and it builds out that interface in the editor. It's also gotten better at understanding your app, so expression generation and responses are more reliable across the board. A picture is now worth a thousand prompts. 😉
