Jack Bridger

New episode with legend of all DevTools legends @rauchg: - Hire people who ship - Prioritize end-user experience over DX - How @v0 puts design first - Why @vercel is an invention machine

Happy 4th July American friends. Typing this while claude code is debugging some automations for me. Thanks for all the amazing tech. Glad the tea went in the harbour.

Recording an episode with @crtr0 on hackathons today. What stuff should I ask about running great hackathons?

For anyone wondering how easy it is to build a tool using voice agent... Watch @jacksbridger's short video showing off his awesome personal assistant agent (+ how he gave it a voice with @uselayercode) 👀

Inviting podcast guests with voice while scrolling twitter (with @mastra_ai and @uselayercode) Featuring an invite to @mattzcarey 😂 github.com/jackbridger/gu…

First time I'm the one answering questions. StreamPot story, lessons and acquisition (exact details $) 00:44 - Origins 03:31 - Launch 05:44 - Scale issues 14:40 - Co-founders 20:20 - Video = hard 26:11 - VCs 29:58 - ittybit acquisition 34:50 - How much? 40:20 - Lessons

When I first started Scaling DevTools, I worried that founders wouldn’t want to talk about marketing - like it might feel too icky, especially to technical audiences. But now I realise there are tons of benefits. One of them is this strange kind of *meta* marketing: For…

London devtools people, go hang with Paul!

Paul @kiwicopple - CEO and cofounder of @supabase finally came on to talk culture, marketing and how to avoid DevTool enshittification. 00:00 - Intro 00:31 - Scaling company culture 07:37 - The enterprise dilemma 11:11 - "enshittification" of DevTools 15:00 - Configuration…

Paul gives some really useful lessons here on culture, marketing and when to say no. But also. He is so nice and down to earth. As is his cofounder Ant. Though I suppose you might expect that from two guys who named their -$2B company after a Nicki Minaj song.

We acquired streampot from @jacksbridger last week. I've already had some great conversations with streampot users, and I'm sure this acquisition is a win-win-win for other users, for Jack, and for ittybit

Quick update: @ittybithq are acquiring StreamPot and StreamPot will be closing down at the end of October. Thanks to everyone who used StreamPot, tried it out, gave me advice, contributed etc. I won't pretend this is a big success but I've known @PaulAntWilliams since day one…

Even if AI translation has zero latency and therefore there is no *point* in learning because we can all communicate through a babelfish device... "In German, for example, the verb comes at the end so the minimum latency is the whole sentence" - @adhsu on @latentspacepod…

Having some fun with @mastra_ai. Almost done automating some of the boring parts of doing a podcast: uploads (video + podcast), show notes, chapter generation etc. The funnest step: getting reference links for everything mentioned. Rough method if interested: 1) chunk the…

What do SDKs look like in this brave new world of AI and MCPs? I think it's time to move on from them. dev.to/paulasjes/self…

🇬🇧 Great AI vibes in London—got together an incredible crew of builders and hackers working on AI dev tools and infra for drinks. Everyone’s building something cool.

Tonight!
