Last month, I did something that felt slightly insane.

I took our product description, fed it into ChatGPT, and asked it to build a competitor. Not a parody. A real competitor. Better features, better positioning, better everything. I told it to be ruthless.

It did!

The output was polished. Confident. Structured like a real go-to-market plan. It named features we don t have. It positioned itself against us. It looked like a threat on paper.

Real talk I can vibe-code a feature in hours but spend days figuring out what users are actually complaining about.

  No system. Bugs in DMs. Feedback in emails. Screenshots in random Slack threads.

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.

As usual, Y Combinator came up with segments that are worth investing:

1. Cursor for Product Managers
2. AI-Native Hedge Funds
3. AI-Native Agencies
4. Stablecoin Financial Services
5. AI for Government
6. Modern Metal Mills
7. AI Guidance for Physical Work 8. Large Spatial Models 9. Infra for Government Fraud Hunters 10. Make LLMs Easy to Train

Every vibe-coding session starts the same:

Here s the context again
Here s what I already tried
Please don t repeat this

That friction killed my flow, so I built Blocpad (CLI).

It keeps context with the project, not trapped in chat history tasks, decisions, notes, all local.
AI reads the state. No re-prompting.

If you use AI dev tools daily, you ve probably felt this:

You start a new session and immediately have to re-explain:

• what the project is

• what you already tried

• why certain decisions exist

• what not to repeat

Not because the AI is bad.
Because the workflow forgets.

I use Cursor. I ve tried Codex CLI. I ve played with Gemini CLI.

They re impressive at generating code.
They re bad at remembering work.

Every new session starts with:

• re-pasting requirements

• re-explaining decisions

• re-linking docs

• re-defining scope

I ve been experimenting with a CLI workflow that removes the most annoying part of AI-assisted dev:
re-explaining context every single time.

Instead of prompts like:

Integrate Stripe payment gateway with X, Y, Z

I just run:

New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.

Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?

We re thrilled to announce that PdfGPT just got a major upgrade it s not just for chatting with PDFs anymore!
