After 7 fulfilling years of building, learning, and growing at @carbonhealth, I started a new chapter back in Feb. For the past 6 months, I’ve been helping early-stage startups go from 0→1. If you’re working on something interesting, hit me up 🤙👇 kerem.co

I think we’ll see a lot more of this. The attackers were going after the AI keys stored on Railway, because an API key is basically a credit card for compute now. Every company running agents is sitting on a pile of these keys! here’s the 10 minute fix. rotate every key tonight, set a hard monthly spend limit in each AI dashboard, give every agent its own key, and turn on usage alerts so you know the second something spikes. someone should build the tool that finds every AI key a company has, rotates them every week and pings you when spend looks weird. charge $99 a month. every startup running agents needs it yesterday.
Railway has been hacked.

Good thing designers are curious creatures by default. Completely overhauling the way you work every 5 years is NOT for the weak 🫠🫠

and now the ai reneissance era. creativity at its peak. and everyone is trying to differentiate with "tasteful" experiences that are crafted by words, descriptions, examples, generated by models.

return of the visual designers. don't underestimate visual interfaces. vision is our dominant sense, shaping how we perceive and interact with the world. its not going anywhere, it's becoming more important than ever.

everything looking the same isn't an ai problem. models hand u the median by default, dragging them off it, applying principles and institutionalizing it is the body of work.

macromedia fireworks walked so sketch could jog and figma could run. innovation needs stepping stones. which dead design tool would u resurrect?

lots of takes about homeview like it's a hardware problem. i dont think it is. it's an intentionality problem. nobody has designed what a wall actually wants from a screen yet. had the @skylightframe cal from day 1. great for a massive interactive cal on the wall. but that's about it.
