  • PREDICTION

    August 7, 2026

    Your next SaaS product may not need a dashboard.

  • THOUGHT

    August 7, 2026

    Why does software still have a menu?

    A menu is a list of everything the software will allow. It exists because the software could never ask you what you wanted. That constraint is gone, and the menu is still here.

  • OBSERVATION

    August 7, 2026

    We built software around databases because machines needed structure. AI may let us rebuild it around human intent.

  • UNPOPULAR OPINION

    August 7, 2026

    A nontechnical founder shouldn't need a technical cofounder simply to understand what their developers are doing.

  • PREDICTION

    August 7, 2026

    I don't think the next generation of software will feel like software.

  • CHANGED MY MIND

    August 7, 2026

  • RABBIT HOLE

    August 7, 2026

    The biggest AI opportunity may not be automation. It may be translation.

  • QUESTION

    August 7, 2026

    Interfaces used to tell us where we were allowed to go. What happens when they can ask where we want to go instead?

  • BUILDING NOTE

    August 7, 2026

    Every product I've built started as a sentence that annoyed me. Usually: that's just how it works.
