Pulse 1.0 lands this weekend 🎉

First, the part that matters most: Thank You.

When I launched Pulse here, genuinely didn't know it would make it #10 globally on Product Hunt.

You downloaded it, broke it, told me exactly what felt right and what needed work, and sent me bug reports at 2am. Every single one of those shaped the app.

How do you use your time more effectively when you are a busy entrepreneur?

The more projects and responsibilities you have, the more you try to organise your time better and accomplish as much as possible in the shortest amount of time.

Not to mention when you have a family and want to make time for your personal life too.

Your agent does something wrong. How far does it reach before anyone notices?

Two months ago I asked here how people stay aware of what their agents are doing, and @getosmo replied with something that has been quietly rearranging my roadmap since.

I had been treating "can you undo it" as the line for when an agent should stop and ask. He took that apart. Irreversibility over-fires and under-fires, he said. It over-fires on things that cannot be undone but that nobody cares about, like the agent writing a log line. It under-fires on the ones that really hurt: a mass email to 50k users, or a migration you can only roll back after downtime. "Reversible on paper, ruinous in practice."
