This doesn’t mean you should never grind at 100% effort. I think there are probably two or three times a year where I work as hard as I possibly can: long hours, intense focus, thinking about the problem from when I wake up to when I go to bed. But I reserve this mode of work for when the rewards are really high. For the rest of the year, I take it relatively easy.
There is a matter of luck involved in this too, or skill. And the headline is so damn salicious!
Read this before you vibe-code another app by Yael Grauer
The danger, he says, is when a personal app drifts into the realm of business software and stores shared, hosted data without anybody realizing that shift has happened. And, he says, the calculus changes when vibe coding moves away from local apps for tracking migraines or meals or package deliveries and enters the realm of apps that handle customer logs, medical data, financial records, or internal documents.
This is when you need to know what you’re building, or know enough to prompt the agent to build it for you.
WhatsApp head Will Cathcart is stepping down after seven years by Emma Roth
Will Cathcart, who led WhatsApp for the past seven years, is stepping down from his role as Meta appoints a new leader. On Monday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Facebook that Kunal Shah, the founder of an Indian fintech startup called Cred, is taking over as the head of WhatsApp.
I used to use Cred at a time. My account is still there, and I guess it still has access to my Gmail.
The pessimist in me thinks Meta is doing this for the financial data Cred has on Indians.
The other aspect could be Kunal could help monetise WhatsApp somehow? Which would mean WhatsApp moving on from its messaging roots. Messaging could end up being a feature, instead of being the main thing. Which would be sad. WhatsApp used to be good. Not now, of course, but it used to be. I wish more of my circle was on Signal.
Tim Cook says RAM expenses are ‘unsustainable’ and Apple is going to raise prices by Emma Roth
Apple is getting ready to take the wraps off its latest lineup of iPhones later this year, though it’s unclear how big an impact the memory shortage will have on pricing. The WSJ estimates that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost $1,299, a jump from the $1,099 iPhone 17 Pro.
Thanks AI.
And, I guess I will keep my 16Pro for longer now.
SpaceX is officially buying Cursor for $60 billion by Robert Hart
Days after its massive IPO, SpaceX says it is spending $60 billion to buy Cursor — a bet designed to help Elon Musk’s sprawling rocket / AI / social media behemoth win over lucrative enterprise customers and close the gap with AI rivals like Anthropic and OpenAI.
This is an all-stock deal. After the IPO, does 60 billion matter for SpaceX?
