... they did. A $2 billion acquisition came undone, compliance required a deletion, and everything they'd built there since December 29 went dark along with the account for at least two days. The short version of the news: Manus announced on August 11, 2026 that it is returning to independent operation as its deal with Meta unwinds. Data created by affected users on or after December 29, 2025 was deleted on August 23 24.

... product better for anyone who signs up and worse for anyone who won't, and I don't know how to weigh those against each other when the second group is invisible in my analytics by construction. Every draft announcement I've written reads either defensive or like I'm dressing it up as a feature. "We've added accounts" is not what happened. I also can't tell whether this matters or whether I'm agonising over something maybe ... ... forty people will notice. I don't have the numbers to know which is itself a consequence of the thing I just took away. So for anyone who's tightened a free tier: did you announce

... suddenly lose access to all AI. But what happens if , one day, access to the leading American models is restricted more broadly? We would still have European models, open-source systems we can operate ourselves, and Chinese alternatives. But there is no guarantee that another major power would never make the same decision to protect its own strategic advantage. AI is no longer just another software category. It is becoming infrastructure. It will shape education, healthcare, national security, research ... ... world are American, and Europe should continue working closely with the United States. But cooperation and dependency are not the same thing. Technological sovereignty does not mean refusing to use foreign technology. It means having a real alternative

... Except it was sitting there as a phone , with no manufacturer, under the name I'd given it years ago. Here's why, and it's a nice little lesson in how device discovery actually works: An Apple TV announces the same services a Mac and a HomePod announce

... that uses a user's personal computer, not a computer on the cloud, thats what made it to spread to 180 countries and tens of thousands of users in a short amount of time. Today, I am excited to announce that we are experimenting with something new, something called NeuralOS, it's the next evolution of the Neural experience. With NeuralOS, intelligence stops being an app you open and close and it becomes the OS itself, it becomes the computer ...

... airport lounge. A recruiter posting "Excited to share that I'm hiring!" for the fourteenth time this week. A motivational quote about hustle printed over a sunset. Three humblebrags disguised as life lessons. One "I'm grateful and blessed" announcement with 4,000 likes. And somewhere, buried under all of it, maybe one actually useful post. This is the daily reality of LinkedIn for most programmers. They tolerate it because they feel they have to. They hate it because, honestly ... ... what the actual job entails. Developers have noticed. Only 12% of developers use LinkedIn as their main source of technical information, according to a Stack Overflow survey. Most are on the platform purely because they feel they have no alternative

... before my last launch i read all the standard advice. post consistently, be everywhere, announce loudly, batch your content. i did a bunch of it and it mostly did nothing. what actually moved the needle was embarrassingly small. a handful of real conversations. one question i asked in a forum out of curiosity brought more of the right people than every announcement

... like that. Then it became a content strategy. What Happened to Build-in-Public When enough people saw that building in public could attract an audience, the practice shifted. Instead of genuine transparency, it became a formula. Day 1: announce the idea. Week 2: post an update. Week 6: excited to share the launch. Week 10: lessons from our first 100 users. Week 20: we are shutting down, here is what I learned. Every step packaged as content. Every milestone ... ... audience was waiting. The problem: most of the time, nobody was. The Spam Problem Platforms that reward product posting attract product posting. Twitter filled up with "building X in public, follow along" threads. LinkedIn feeds drowned in announcements

... funds will boost open-source / Postgres tools, grow the platform, and liquidity for the employees. Two months ago, @Supabase announced 8,000,000 developers building with the platform. [1] They're now nearly 10 million, with databases launches growing by 600% over the past year. Read the announcement

... things are circulating on the internet simultaneously this week: A tweet about how a human beat a machine (a 10-hour livestream in which a human sorted packages and compared it to the productivity of a robot). Or an announcement of a Microsoft AI chief that predicts AI will automate most white-collar work within 18 months. While I don't think there will be a complete replacement of humans in either case, I do think we will see mass ... ... everyone overnight - they ll just move much faster with fewer bottlenecks. Comment from Alper Tayfur(@alpertayfurr): I think white-collar work gets affected faster because most of it already lives inside software. But the real split is not blue vs

... thought we knew We assumed enterprise customers wanted the same things as our small business users, just more of it. More security. More control. More features. We never talked to them. We read blog posts. We looked at competitor pricing pages. We guessed. Here's what we missed: Procurement cycles. Enterprise deals take 6-12 months. We had 30-day sales cycles. We weren't built for that. Security reviews. We needed SOC2. We didn't have it. Customers asked ... ... person asking loudly means nothing. 47 people asking quietly over six months means build it. What's your system for separating signal from noise? Comment from Imed Radhouani(@imed_radhouani): @absheikh  Thanks for this!! The "customer you want vs

... months ago, we ran an experiment with our own data. At Rankfender, we tracked 5 of our own competitors across 8 AI systems. We log their share of voice, citation velocity, content gaps, platform variance. Months of raw numbers sitting in a dashboard. I pulled 6 months of data and fed it into Claude. One question: "Based on this, who is most likely to overtake us in the next 6 months? Show your work. Use the data. Don't summarize ... ... Give me the numbers." The answer changed how I think about competition. The dataset: 5 competitors

... more a matter of other priorities... Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): Maybe they waited for that moment when Jay Graber steps down and the new CEO, Toni Schneider, because the growth was stagnating... so maybe they could announce the funding under a new growth phase narrative ...

We made a deliberate choice not to cut corners on the AI layer because the AI layer is the product. Long-form content repurposing requires a model that can hold narrative across 800 words, match a brand voice consistently across ... ... different formats, and write something you'd actually publish not something you spend 20 minutes editing into shape. We tested the alternatives

... administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him. Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract. Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours , people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude. What stance do you take toward big tech companies after this? Are you staying loyal to ChatGPT, or are you switching ... ... interface and the continuity of context. That's where the real switching cost lives. Claude has genuinely earned trust through better reasoning and less hallucination on complex tasks. But the power user shift isn't really about Sam's announcement

... handle most of the work, what exactly are all those other meaningful tasks that AI wouldn t be able to do? What will the surplus employees do? Clean office windows? Probably not. Today (or rather yesterday), Jack Dorsey announced nearly a 50% layoff, explicitly citing AI as the reason. So I m curious about your perspective: What will all of us (or at least half of us) do when AI replaces a large portion of our work? Will ... ... What I m seeing is that AI compresses teams. The same output can now be achieved with fewer people, which changes hiring math more than it changes human value. The real shift, in my opinion, is not manual trades vs
