Curious: have folks seen a drop in coding standards for production since vibe coding came about?

I’m joining @saranormous, @prnvrdy and the team at @conviction! The past two years have been the best. I’ve enjoyed the freedom to travel with my family and (assistant) coach my son’s Little League teams, all while continuing to try to help some of the founders and companies I’ve worked with over the past decade. These two years have confirmed that I love hanging out with my family … and it’s really fun to spend time with amazing, ambitious, impatient entrepreneurs. We are living through the most exciting technological change of our lifetime (of anyone’s lifetime?). We are on the cusp of having an infinite supply of intelligence. We can literally just convert electricity into intelligence. It’s hard to sit that one out. I have known Sarah Guo for years. She’s one of the smartest, hardest-working, most connected and admired investors out there. Founders love her. Over the past two years, she and the team at Conviction have built one of the most exciting new firms in years. In just two years they have partnered with @harvey_ai, @MistralAI, @SierraPlatform, @cognition_labs, @HeyGen_Official, @cartesia_ai and more. That’s pretty good. In a short period, Sarah and Pranav have emerged as the partners of choice for AI-native companies. Even more impressive than the track record is the ethos, ambition and culture of the firm (sarahguo.com/blog/conviction). At Conviction, we are building a small, hands-on team that deeply understands the technological revolution that is underway, that can serve as a connector between the builders at the center of it and that has the patience, independence and conviction to take an extremely long-term perspective. And it’s fun to be back at a startup! There are cardboard boxes everywhere and a random humanoid robot hanging out in the kitchen. The most fun I’ve had in my working career was the early, fast-scaling days at Facebook – it’s fun to be back. I have been fortunate to work with some amazing teams and founders over the past decade (thank you!). Luckily I’ll continue to work with a few – @getcaptionsapp, @clay_gtm, @NotionHQ, @Rippling, @Statsig – for the rest, please don’t be a stranger. I am grateful to Sarah, Pranav, Christy, Niki and Vivian for welcoming me in and trusting me to be part of the team. And lastly and most importantly, I am so grateful to my wife and my kids who have hung out with me for the past two years and have been supportive of this new journey.

Scaling Automatic Neuron Description We trained open-weight models that automatically describe the patterns of neuron activations in language models, producing high-quality explanations on par with a human expert. Full report: transluce.org/neuron-descrip…

Apropos of nothing: I reread this @JuddApatow interview of @chrisrock every few months. I probably think about the "Come on the boat" line at least once a week. It so perfectly captures the perspective and humility you need to stay focused and to stay fresh.

After working on improving CI system for the last two years at @figma, I just want to say how interesting and challenging the scope of the work is, and how often it's overlooked by a lot of engineers because it feels "back-office"-y.
