The key summary message here summarized by ChatGPT is about "what is a SW programmer to do in the age of AI SWE's": Scott portrayed the synergy as transforming engineers into architects: Devin plus Windsurf IDE creates a seamless, AI-powered coding environment, streamlining task…

DeepWiki just had its biggest week ever. It's now at >2.5 million lifetime users and also recently crossed 1 million MAUs (up 70% compared to the previous month). What should we build next? (If you're interested in working at the intersection of product & research, DMs open)

We’re soooo back
Claude Sonnet 4 is back via first party support from @AnthropicAI! Available at 2x credits (limited time discount) per request for Pro and Teams users. That’s 250 requests a month!

BREAKING: Claude Code PMs Boris Cherny and Cat Wu have returned to Anthropic after a brief stint at Cursor.
