We’re leading a $100m Series A investment in @tessl_io, launched by @snyksec founder @guypod , to power a paradigm shift in how software gets made. Why does this matter? The AI era calls for more than bolt-on coding co-pilots, as powerful as they can be. Now there’s a huge opportunity to rethink developer workflows from scratch – to create what Guypo calls ‘AI Native Development’. indexventures.com/perspectiv…

Just had an eye-opening convo with a startup founder. They said, "We don't need a product demo video on our landing page. People have short attention spans. Nobody watches those." I smiled and thought, "Ah, the classic website mistake." Here's the thing: Your website isn't for "everyone." It's a love letter to your ideal buyer. You might think, "Nobody reads long copy or watches demo videos." But guess what? Your BUYERS do. They're not just scrolling by. They're investigating. They want to know everything about you. So, go ahead: - Add that long, juicy heading - Write that detailed copy - Showcase those glowing testimonials - Craft a compelling "About Us" page - Answer every question in your FAQs - Include all those footer links Why? Because your ideal buyers care. They read. They watch. They want to know YOU. Don't design for the masses. Design for the ones who matter—your buyers. They're out there, hungry for information. Feed them. :) Remember: Your website is not a billboard. It's a conversation with your future buyers. Make it count. Make it thorough. Make it irresistible to the right person.

Very insightful post from @guypod about a mental model he developed to evaluate AI solutions. Guy plots AI solutions across two dimensions - how much *change* they require to be used, and how much *trust* they require to be useful. These dimensions divide them into 4 primary areas. Interesting to see how today's AI tools and solutions fit in this matrix today and tomorrow! Would love to hear your thoughts and where you think your tools/solutions sit today!

I continue to be completely and wholeheartedly obsessed with Claude Artifacts. Feedback for Anthropic team - please create an access tier between "only me" and "fully public" like google docs and chatgpt, thx

I've been playing around with the Claude 3.5 Artifacts 3.5 feature, thanks to @multikev's tip. I just noticed that you can edit your prompt and then scroll through different iterations.

A major omission AI can help with is onboarding testing. Most developers rarely retest the onboarding flow after initial setup, making it easy to miss issues when new standards or browser updates arise. AI never gets bored and can continuously test and identify improvements in flows that often go untested. #AINative #SoftwareTesting

This bundle of one of my favorite authors @doctorow is only $18 for 18 books. Even more, by buying it, you support @EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation). You can pay more than $18 (hint-hint). humblebundle.com/books/cory-…
