This was the wildest product sprint of my life. Decided to go all in last Thursday night, pulled multiple all-nighters, and honestly wasn’t sure I could do it. But I finally shipped!
I built Cursor for vibe coding games.

Yes, USAID could use reform, but this is demolition. Trump braids together cruelty, ignorance and shortsightedness, and calls it policy, as the world's richest men go after the worlds poorest children. My column: nytimes.com/2025/02/05/opini…

Enter Stewy! 🎩 He's not just any board member; he's got a decent chunk of Waystar-Royco and access to extra capital. With that kind of power, he could easily become an activist investor and maybe even go hostile.
