In 2026, you are not being replaced by AI that writes better code. You are being replaced by the cost center you represent.
Product-Market Fit used to feel like a milestone you reached, but now it feels more like something you constantly maintain.
• Usage metrics feel less reliable on their own when users are interacting through APIs and agents workflows
• If your product disappeared tomorrow, ask yourself whether your customers would panic or just switch to the next tool.
• You can’t just rely on buying ads anymore. The stronger companies are building community and education with the product.
Thanks @MadronaVentures for hosting.
Spent some time digging into the @cursor_ai SDK and they are really growing beyond its IDE roots well into this 'third era' of coding.
You create and run Cursor agents from code, using the same agent system but now you can build your own workflows around it. (ngl, it took me a bit to fully understand the shift with so many layers)
Checkout Cursor cookbook and try it yourself:
1. Use the SDK to load SDK-aware context
2. Run the app and connect it to Cursor Cloud Agents
3. Modify the UI live with Cursor Agent
Back at @ai2incubator on a really nice day to talk about AI governance. Did you know that major insurers are already starting to exclude AI-related damages from standard liability coverage?
Pretty major shift, AI risk is becoming something enterprises are actively pricing, governing, and planning around.
Thanks to @glean for sponsoring this time.
Got the chance to finally spend more time with latest @cursor_ai 3 and you can really feel the workflow shifting.
A lot of it now feels intentionally built around planning first, and managing context instead of constantly fighting it.
The smaller details are especially good too: lightweight planning flows, less UI clutter, and scoped changes. It weirdly feels less like using an IDE and more like supervising a team.
Really great direction overall. Thanks for the demo, a lot of thoughtful stuff packed in there.
The team is working through the backlog and we’re actively investing in improvements to the application process. Thanks for your support!
App Devs: we owe you an update. App approval times have slowed down in the past few months as we've seen a huge increase in submissions.
We are committed to making sure the apps in our App Store are high quality, secure, and impactful tools for our merchants, and that means we don't take approvals lightly.
We're actively working to bring review times down through product investment and ops ramp up. We will keep you updated as this improves.
Thank you for all the feedback and patience 🙏

I’ve felt this too. AI collapses the cost of validation, you can ship a rough thing in days and see some signals.
The bottleneck shifts to problem framing, sequencing, tradeoffs. The hardest part is getting people to agree. Is there a tool for this? :)
The fastest teams aren’t skipping strategy, they’re compressing it into tighter loops. Net, AI raises the bar on real product judgment.

Amazing work, Waymo. You're one step closer to taking on the true final boss: this 7-way uphill, downhill, blind-curve boss fight in the city.
Exciting expansion! @Waymo now serves the whole SF Bay Area Peninsula from SF to San Jose and is taking riders on freeways.
