I don't want to sound bad, but I feel like Adobe is asking quite a lot of money for something that other tools do the same (if not better) with a better user experience and sometimes even cheaper.

For example, Adobe XD vs. Figma

Adobe Premiere vs. DaVinci Resolve, etc.

Everyone says execution matters most.

But I think it s execution in the right way
The kind that runs experiments, not marathons.

It s easy to move fast.

It s harder to design motion that actually teaches you something.

Are you the kind of person who believes in your dream enough to burn through most of your savings on it?

For millionaires, this might not be a big deal, but what about people with a typical 9 5 job? I see how much a solid marketing campaign costs on just one platform (often the monthly expense is equal to at least a full year s salary).

The day before yesterday, a friend told me he and his wife are closing their restaurant, which they opened just six months ago. They had taken a loan for it, which makes it even worse.

From @hwchase17 :

Today, we re announcing we ve raised $125M at a $1.25B valuation to build the platform for agent engineering. We re also releasing new capabilities to accelerate the path to reliable agents, including LangChain and LangGraph 1.0 releases, a new Insights Agent, and a no code agent builder. IVP led the round alongside existing investors Sequoia, Benchmark, and Amplify, as well as new investors CapitalG and Sapphire Ventures.

Imagine that they got their start here when I hunted @LangSmith in 2023.
Man, shoulda invested back then!

I ve been thinking about how much design quality actually matters in the earliest stages of a product.

Some users don t seem to mind rough edges if the tool genuinely solves a problem. Others instantly bounce if the UI doesn t feel trustworthy.

Elon Musk was extremely frustrated that Wikipedia couldn t be manipulated, and he even offered $1 billion if they renamed it to d*ckipedia.

Since that didn t work out, he s now trying to build his own platform for gathering information claiming that Wikipedia is hopelessly biased, and that left-leaning editors influence its content.

Lately, I have been experimenting with how to feed context into GPT models more effectively.

For example, when fine-tuning or working with larger context windows, I have noticed that the dilemma is in organizing the surrounding information, rather than the prompt itself. Last week, I came to know that it's called Context Engineering.
