After two years, fewer than 30 engineers, and a fraction of the capital poured into earlier efforts, we are officially launching v1 of Zoo Design Studio, this includes our own CAD application, CAD kernel, AND ML model! Please give us feedback!

Apparently, Gen Z is making fun of older generations for never buying big ticket purchases on their phone and always using a desktop. Iāve never felt more attacked in my life by something I didnāt realize I was subconsciously doing.

We started saving GitHub actions logs to our logs storage and being able to chart specific failures by the string of the failure over time is life changing.
oh youāve seen a test be flakey with X error, letās chart it over the last 30 days, yup it is, but it started on this day.

Unpopular opinion: Any engineer afraid AI will take their job must have been pretty "meh" in the first place, since any good engineer knows the job is to automate yourself out of a job and move on to automating yourself out of the next job, over & over again til the end of time.

I'm curious if any college CS courses require running services (outside messing around in a lab) nowadays?
Debugging intuition comes from experience & is built up from years & years of seeing systems fail in different ways.

Under every single CAD application that businesses use is a thirty year old CAD kernel.
Even OnShape and Shapr3d, āmodernā tools use Parasolid a 30 year old beast.
We, on the other hand, are building a new CAD kernel. To use GPUs not just for rendering but for the math.
Yes, open source and hobbyists have created some newer projects in this area but they arenāt used by businesses for production products. They lack features, UX, adoption, etc.

I feel like 99% of being a software engineer is debugging random shit, 1% algorithms. As you gain experience you see more random shit, your random shit toolbox is ever expanding until you can figure out anything w time since itās semi like something else in your toolbox.

If this tweet gets 1k likes I'll waste my weekend benchmarking all the vector dbs to figure out what is real and what isn't. I'll throw `np.array` in the mix as well, and will use some "big data."

Iāve said it before and Iāll say it again, the non-vscode fork is gunna win!
The world's fastest AI code editor is here
Zed is engineered from scratch in Rust like a video game. Not another fork, but a purpose-built editor designed for collaboration between humans and AI, delivering a lightning fast agentic editing experience.

I don't actually get this, like who the fuck are you waiting to give you permission, just do it.
Women founders have been reaching out to me over the past 24 hours about how they donāt have permission to run their companies in Founder Mode the same way men can. This needs to change

okay usually i'd be like "they bought it for the distribution" but in the windsurf / openai case I actually have no fucking clue why, they have a team, they can hire a team, its a fucking vscode wrapper, THEY HAVE THE DISTRIBUTION

uhhh 1Password is the 1Password of API keys
startup idea for you
1Password does $318M ARR managing passwords from toronto canada
now build "1Password for API keys" with a brand that targets the MILLIONS of new vibe coders
developers are scattering credentials across codebases, config files, and environment variables like confetti at a wedding
and all of a suddent there is like 20x the amount of developers because of AI
product creates a secure vault that gives applications ONE access point to retrieve all API keys
your app needs Stripe? requests from vault
needs AWS? requests from vault
needs OpenAI? requests from vault
the vault authenticates and returns the right key - actual credentials never touch your code
MVP features:
ā¢ connects to git repos to find scattered keys
ā¢ automated key rotation
ā¢ role-based access controls
ā¢ usage analytics
LastPass does $250M ARR in the same space
with AI making everyone a developer, this market just 10x'd
pricing ladder:
ā¢free vault (lead magnet)
ā¢ $15/user/month (core product)
ā¢ $20/month security insights
ā¢ $5K enterprise packages
did this get your creative juices flowing?
this is the greatest time in history to be starting a business

what are things in tech that older devs have dealt with that have since been abstracted away and would send new devs into a coma
Iāll start: when youād test coworkers changes locally because there was no CI or when you hosted your website from your computer

The best engineers Iāve ever worked with create art with code. They can abstract complex code into simplistic frameworks allowing anyone to read and understand and contribute more on top. AI will replace the mediocre engineers but it will never replace the artists.

I owe everything in my career to the experienced autistic engineers who gave extremely candid feedback.
You get no where in life if no one is being pedantic in your face telling you why you are wrong.
Hallucinations aside, Iād take an autistic over some happy do gooder any day.
as someone who mostly learned to write bad code in a real world environment with a senior engineer growling at meā¦and later tried to go back and take a couple āfoundationalā CS classes at both Penn and Stanford
learning new things with Cursor, Devin, Claude feels šÆ better
