Have you used Texts and/or Beeper? Which is more reliable for you?
Also open to alternatives - just need an inbox 0 workflow for messages/DMs/etc.
(I'm having lots of issues with Texts lately... weird iMessage read status stuff, and now Signal doesn't work at all).

Excited to get to work with @guypod (third time for @boldstartvc), @anna_debenham, @sjmaple and the rest of an amazing team.
I’m excited to introduce my new company, @tessl_io!
We’re reimagining software development for the AI era, and helping shape a new software development paradigm we call AI Native Software Development.
The AI tools we use for development today are novel and powerful, and we should all invest in embracing them - but they are only the beginning. They optimize dev workflows created before the LLM revolution, bolting on AI at various spots.
To tap the true potential of AI-powered dev, we need to rethink these workflows from first principles, assuming AI is built in. This is what we mean by AI Native development.

if you need some Monday morning listening, @jacksbridger and I finally found time to chat (and recorded it!)

Great products start with great designs.
Design collaboration into your product with the new Liveblocks Collaboration Kit for @figma. Prototype collaborative experiences like comments, mentions, in-app notifications, multiplayer editing, and more!

Learn to set up Multi Agent Systems with @AndrewYNg and Crew!
New agentic short course! Multi AI Agent Systems with crewAI, built with @crewAIInc's founder and CEO @joaomdmoura. In this course, you'll learn how to break down complex tasks into subtasks for multiple AI agents, each playing a specialized role, to execute.
For example, to generate a research report, you might have researcher, writer, and quality assurance agents collaborate. You'll define the roles, expectations, and interactions between the agents—like a manager organizing a team.
You'll work with key agentic AI techniques like role-playing, tool use, memory, guardrails, and cross-agent collaboration. And you'll build your own multi-agent systems that can tackle complex tasks. I think you'll find it both productive and fun to design agents and watch them collaborate to get things done.
Let me know what you think! I believe multi-agent architectures will drive significant progress in AI systems.

TIL about aprilcools.club/ through this delightful debugging story from @PredragGruevski: predr.ag/blog/wifi-only-work…
One of my favorite things at Founder's Day was hearing from @Anna_Debenham on extremely narrow ICPs and how she thought of expanding from Node developers who used open source packages:

"Don’t publish content you wouldn’t share yourself."
Most companies get developer marketing wrong.
Developer marketing is about building trust. It's about showing how to build great products with your technology.

Turns out I am bad at taking photos during events, so glad Ed did!
It was great to spend time with the team and founders. And in a few cases I finally got to meet people I've been talking to for 2+ years.
That's a wrap to an energizing week!

Notifications are essential for any collaborative product. Yet, they’re extremely hard to build.
Today’s release marks our commitment to providing a notification system that is optimized for collaboration and takes minutes to set up.
Let’s dive into what makes it special…
Liveblocks 1.10 has been released.
The new update adds notifications support for Comments:
• A notification system, optimized for collaboration
• Pre-built React components and hooks
• A new webhook event for email notifications
