Is it possible to get a proper mission-style burrito in LA? Every time I'm back in SF I think "why can't we have this."

What happens when AI makes software 100X cheaper to build? Been thinking about some non-obvious implications: https://www.flyingpenguins.io/p/what-happens-when-software-gets-100x

Today we’re launching Robodocs — an AI assistant that turns your Google Drive into a Github profile. It tracks and analyzes your writing, and gives you a Claude agent that automatically has access to your docs. Oh, and we built it in a week…

I would like to: - take a sample of ~100 memecoins launched in the past few months - look at all of the wallets that profited from them - rank those wallets by some quality metrics - follow all of the best wallets on @interface @wijuwiju.eth @annoushka.eth is this a solved problem?

Hey founders, what do you do when someone promising emails you about a job, or you meet them IRL, but you aren't hiring at the moment? Does anyone maintain an effective talent radar in a way that's simple enough to actually stick to for stuff like this?

Does something like Composer for memecoins exist? - Community can create strategies (set of rules) - User can adopt a strategy (stake money on it) - Platform/protocol makes trades following the strategy Alternately, are there any good "hire a degen as a service" marketplaces?

Spoiler alert: hiring interns to post unhinged content isn't going to be a sustainable marketing strategy for startups. New post on why companies should stop trying to beat creators at their own game and instead do what they do best — build products 🚀

The ability for small crypto apps to generate revenue quickly makes it such an interesting space to build an AI-enabled product studio. We've seen what happens as the cost of creating memecoins goes down by 100X — memeapps are next. The other related opportunity is for chains/ecosystems to think about devrel differently. Instead of building for developers, they will create building blocks for roboagencies and AI-enabled studios/teams that want to launch an app a week. The natural endpoint of course is for ecosystems to create their own version of Replit Agent and basically allow people to spin up new apps from a prompt, but creating quality products in that method is a ways off even for products outside of crypto.

If you're a founder of a venture backed company and you have a killer idea for a lead-gen product that would go viral, we'll build it for you for a stupidly low price or even for free. Want to create a few cool case studies of what we @ Robo can do before🎄 DMs open.

The next Bell Labs won't need a cash cow. It'll need a distribution cow. Just published "The New Moonshots" on why AI means innovation hubs will come from lean teams with great distribution, not deep pockets. Unlike cash, which gets spent, distribution compounds. Also included: - why having a lot of excess cash might actually be a hindrance - my prediction on the market demand for "internal indiehackers" https://www.flyingpenguins.io/p/the-new-moonshots

Last week, I talked to two founders — one that spent $200k to get an MVP built in 8 months, and another that got a similarly sized MVP built for $10k in 20 days thanks to AI. I wrote about why I think the majority of venture-backed MVPs will be built by centaur agencies by 2027. https://www.flyingpenguins.io/p/centaur-agencies-are-coming-for-your

Now that the dust has settled on the news, I wrote down a few reflections on selling Build. Including how most people had no idea we ran a monthly hackathon/accelerator with thousands of builders almost entirely automated via AI, with one employee half time per week.

Build now has close to 10k builders and 50+ partners, and we'd love to support projects that help make it better, including: - better ways to find and get up and running with partners - tools to create/discover demos - better versions of "request for projects"

One thing we’ve learned from Build is that even the best infra companies see huge dropoff from awareness to adoption. Published a new article on “Invisible builders” and why the reason for churn is much simpler than what many people think (hint: it’s not PMF). https://www.flyingpenguins.io/p/inaction-is-the-real-competition
