Today's newsletter is sponsored by Setapp — the content is ours, the distribution problem they're solving is real, and we'll tell you why.

Today: a context layer that briefs your AI before you open the chat, a personal website that looks like it took a week but didn't, and a game designed to give you the same adrenaline as a 3am PagerDuty alert — with a leaderboard. Also: whether taking VC money is actually worth it anymore.
