day 3 of building a better IDE than Cursor, Zed & Athas from scratch:
WE NOW HAVE A TERMINAL!
that was such a grind but I can now say we are officially a Vim wrapper
you guys have no idea what will come next...
to the moooon!!!!
day 2 of trying to kill cursor by building the IDE of the future from scratch:
+ automatic layout optimization engine
that way every time AI spawns some UI/file/terminal the whole screen will remain readable
mostly generated by Amp code (but flawed, lots of fixes to do now)

holy shit have kids and make a company at the same time
this is the strongest PMF infinite TAM I have seen in a while
Shortcut – the first superhuman excel agent – is live.
While not perfect, Shortcut beats first year analysts from McKinsey/Goldman head-to-head 89.1% (220:27) when blindly judged by their managers.
We even gave humans 10x more time.
Try Shortcut now (before your boss does).

debugging code is dead, long live vibe debugging!
Ariana is a debugger for vibe coders:
- doesn't require to put print/logging/breakpoints
- can inform Cursor/Claude/Windsurf of all that your code did when it ran
- overlays values of variables on top of your code

introducing Ariana, a CLI and extension to spend 99% less time debugging:
1. install "Ariana - Debugging" in VSCode/Cursor
2. npm i -g ariana
3. ariana npm run <whatever>
4. hover expressions in your code to see what values they took while your code ran
Why & how it works🧵

day 15: hired the most cracked engineer I know @luaroncrew
- worked for Yandex at age 17
- has python code tatoed
- previous CEO of a startup I co-founded (he is trully 100x and can do business)
- fixed bugs and pushed to prod on day 1
day 14: early broken version of managing multiple Claude Code agents from our Agentic IDE
every parallel agent copies your code, creates a branch, and hopefully later will also merge for you
it's all open-source btw

building something great is about faith in your vision and resilience: doubling down when it feels like you should be giving up.
1 year ago, through joining @join_ef in Paris, I embarked on a journey to build Ariana, based on our founding vision of a programming workspace of the future: one that would truly unlock your potential as an AI-augmented programmer.
the same way good old IDEs like IntelliJ or VS Code unlocked your potential as a compiler-augmented programmer, with deeply revolutionary features that we now take for granted: syntax highlighting, error squiggles, issues auto-fix, autocomplete...
keeping that vision in mind through hundreds of calls, tens of prototypes, millions of lines of code, 4 product pivots, and constantly eating the wall of how hard it is to succeed in the dev tooling market, we pushed through our ambitious ideas.
but we couldn't make users stick,
we couldn't raise a good enough seed,
everything we were making was so buggy, so hard to use,
tens of new competitors would show up every week, demoralizing us
and we would constantly receive contradictory advice from more successful founders, making us feel like we didn't know what we were doing
3 months ago, my founding team even split, and I became a solo-founder.
honestly, I deeply understand that my ex co-founder wanted to found something else: it is just an industry for masochists! Only a crazy programmer, one who has lived the last 10 years in a deep obsession for code, can think it matters enough to fight for it
normally, it means death for a startup.
inheriting both the job of CEO and CTO, I went into dark times. I was in constant stress about my administrative duties, couldn't ship much, was constantly feeling like it was over. Every call with my parents would end with "you will soon want to find a job right?"
but my dear parents, when they named me Anicet, certainly they thought it was a unique, pretty name, one that did consensus amongst them. But little did they think that its uniqueness and Greek root would forge my ego: Aniketos or "Invincible"
I've always had that little voice in me
a tiny flame fueled by a huge dream
I can simply never give up at things
petrified but not dead yet, I moved to a forest town in central Finland 2 months ago to lock in with @luaroncrew, our amazing founding engineer
together we've been re-building Ariana IDE, a product which we demoed here before, promising launches, but that was so bad we believed it needed to be entirely redesigned and rebuilt.
this was an enormous task, one, we laughed, would never end before I'd leave Finland mid-November.
yet, through the hardest grind we've ever been through, not only have I resolved all the legal & financial questions coming with my new duties, but we have finally built what we believe to be a great product!
so excited to be launching next week.
never give up!
