We are moving past typing syntax and into managing systems. In our latest 'after coding' episode, Slack's #1 employee @johnnyrodgersis and early engineer James Scheinblum tell @keithmadams how they build at Supernice: no more first commits.
Living specs are the ultimate source of truth, and AI agents maintain the documentation. With tribal knowledge eliminated, engineers can step away from daily plumbing and focus on architecture and product taste.

We built the first AI system to achieve the industry standard CAD certification for mechanical engineers.
Our agent autonomously built parts and assembled mechanisms, passing the SOLIDWORKS Professional exam in less than 3 hours.
Details below, including a concerning discovery.
What happens when you pass on OpenAI on day zero? You learn a very hard lesson about how to evaluate exponential curves. Listen to @keithmadams "tsunami rule" below.

How does a VC model the next 7 years of AI? @adityaag from @spc breaks down his 5/15/80 rule and @keithmadams points out the one bias every tech investor is guilty of.

In 2005, @keithmadams and @adityaag were writing code together at early Facebook.
Today, they are investors navigating a new reality: the machines now code better than they do.
Ep 2 of After Coding is live. We talk about AI grief, the 10 year fund dilemma, and why a human typo is the new luxury.
The clankers have the keyboard. Rather than mourn the transition, we find it exhilarating.
Announcing After Coding, a new Pebblebed podcast with @keithmadams. Episode 1 with @josh_wills is live.

Krea is cooking 👨🏻🍳
yesterday, we showcased two major updates coming to Krea: Krea 3 and Krea Agents.
Krea 3 is our new foundation model, with amazing editing capabilities that build on the aesthetic diversity and personalization we developed for Krea 2.
in parallel, we’ve dedicated the past three months to building the world’s best agents for creative work.
Krea Agents is a whole new platform built on top of Krea, with delightful interfaces optimized for agentic workflows.
and of course, this platform will support seamless integration with any of our customers’ existing workflows or agents through MCP or API.
What would you feel like if, in a few years from now, a robot could bring you into a meditative state?
Last weekend, we invited people to experience this future.
We know machines can process data and automate physical labor. But what happens when we ask a machine to automate care?
If someone feels comforted by an AI therapist or a robot facilitating a meditative state, do we actually care that it's just code and motors?
Chelsea, the @taurobots humanoid, took a break from cleaning houses and led this session.
Thank you to @GundersonLaw for supporting this experience.
Our recurring gathering for ML researchers is back on August 26.
ML Suds & Science is an intimate gathering features three short talks covering optimizer choices, architecture decisions, and training runs, followed by dedicated time to connect.

You’ve seen them clean apartments, but what about letting them guide you through a musical experience?
@taurobots have been working hard to master their sound bath skills.
Watch them live on Aug 15
