User feedback is lovely (like, makes me emotional, lovely ) but reliability swings between 25-95%. We ve diagnosed most of the issues now, though there s always a new edge case waiting.

... didn t matter how good the hardware was if the software wasn t ready. Luckily, we realized we had already been building two companies in parallel: one for the Wispr hardware and one for Flow software. But we were still a small startup. We knew we could only get one thing to PMF at one time, and we just had to pick our battles. We saw that if we built the software layer first a magical voice experience that actually ... ... completely and gave all our attention to Wispr Flow, the voice dictation platform. Our investors supported us. They had seen some inklings of this and seen plenty of founders unable to make the tough call of killing their baby. Still

... like button. Benchmarks, benchmarks, benchmarks Benchmarks should always be taken with a grain of salt . They are effectively a snapshot of a models capabilities under near perfect conditions. Sort of like the Big Mac you see on the ads vs the Big Mac you get in the bag. It gives you a good idea, but they're far from a perfect measure of real world usage.

But context, accountability, and community still

... other words, writing good prompts in plain language might be as valuable as writing code itself. At the time (late 2022), I chuckled at that idea. I treated tools like ChatGPT or Copilot as handy assistants, sure, but I still considered real coding to be me typing out logic. Yet here we were in 2025, and Karpathy s casual tweet had put a name to a practice that had been stealthily creeping into my own workflow. The more I thought ... ... might be the defining skill of the next generation of developers. It s not about giving up on coding; it s about leveling up how we code. After all, writing good prompt instructions or reviewing AI output is still

... everyone I'm one of the founders of TableMint, a platform we built after watching way too many restaurants still struggle with clunky paper menus or overpriced hardware setups. So we built something simple: A smart menu that works instantly with just a QR scan no apps, no tablets, no tech headaches. Here s what it does: Guests scan a QR code and get a beautiful digital menu (with images, videos, upsells, and more). They can order and pay right ... ... reduce staff pressure. We ve already got a few early adopters testing it, and they re loving how easy it is to get started and how much smoother the guest experience feels. If you know a restaurant that s still

... getting better at handling more and more tasks on their own. For an AI Agent to have long-term value, it must be able to understand, remember, and adapt to a user's evolving preferences and context ---- something LLMs still struggle with due to their limited memory and continuity. Also, not many vertical AI Agents seem to be breaking out yet. Off the top of my head, I can only think of Icon, telli, and Exa. Curious to see what ...

... apps, the way they were managed and the monetization model went downhill. From a set of popular apps, suddenly hate started on Reddit and no one recommends them. I only worked on the project for 6 months, but I still found the genesis of this story quite sad.

... screen videos with Adobe but it takes forever to find the right video or photo to match to the story I'm narrating. Comment from Frederik Bussler(@frederikb): Right now they can't realistically do marketing. Content they produce still has the "AI slop" tone of voice, and these agents often fail and break at a simple log-in screen, so it's way faster to just do it yourself or hire someone.

... world GTM data is anything but neat. My growth-side scars forced us to embrace messy CSVs, half-baked CRMs, and marketing timelines measured in hours, not sprints.

... founders, we automate ads, analytics, and customer support yet influencer marketing still feels like sending carrier pigeons. You reach out to a creator. They might reply or vanish for weeks.

... just launched a fun little side project called the Dev Atrophy Test - a quick quiz to see if your coding brain still holds up in the age of AI. It's not anti-AI (we love AI!), but let s be real: with autocomplete and copilots doing half the work, it s easy to lose touch with the basics. This quiz is a playful check-in to see if those foundational dev skills are still

... first impression of the actual device was that the plastic finish felt a little underwhelming, especially if you re used to the polish of Apple or Nothing devices.
