Adam Sumner reposted thisAdam Sumner reposted thisToday we're launching Bevyl. I've spent 10 years at companies like Airbnb, Loom, and Hightouch, but I've always been a builder at heart. The problems I love most sit at the intersection of deep technical challenge, complex user workflows, and new technology. When I met my cofounder Nina Liu and she walked me through brand video editing, I knew this was it. Marketers are expected to post 2-3 short-form videos a day, the editing is painfully manual, and I knew exactly how to build it. Nina lived this problem firsthand running Kite Beauty and seen it at scale advising F500 CMOs at Accenture. More on her story in another post. AI video tools on the market today are barely scratching the surface. They optimize for virality and clickbait while brand trust gets destroyed in the process. So, we built Bevyl. Bevyl is a video editor designed from the ground up for short-form (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) with AI that actually understands your brand voice and visual style. A few things I'm proud of: 1. We've built a full video editor from scratch. It works end to end and I'm proud to show it off! 2, We're shipping fast with a small, exceptional team that cares about craft. 3. Early users are saving 2-3 hours per video, which adds up fast. Huge thanks to our early users and everyone who gave us brutally honest feedback along the way. If you're creating short-form content every week, try it on your next video. Link in comments. P.S. The video attached was made in Bevyl in about 3 minutes. #buildinpublic #startups #launch

Adam Sumner liked thisAdam Sumner liked thisYour assumptions are a significant risk to your startup. Whether you’re a seasoned tech vet or a first-time founder, blindspots can kill otherwise great product ideas. Here's how we counter this risk: 💡 The Lean Startup Approach 1. Validate assumptions with research and data You’re building your product to solve a problem. But what if your solution isn’t helpful for others with the same issue, or your pain points don’t match theirs? We all suffer from confirmation bias, so it’s critical to validate your assumptions about the landscape, best solution for the problem, and target market before investing resources in developing anything. 2. Invest in strategy Once you’ve validated your hypothesis, use the data you’ve gathered to inform your product strategy. Identify goals, KPIs, and metrics to track progress and success. Distill the highest-impact points of your value prop into a feature matrix, map out user journeys, and create a roadmap for developing your MVP. And prioritize high-quality development of the most critical features for your users. The ones that resonate most with your audience will generate the most engagement and traction. 3. Design, develop, and launch a high-quality MVP An MVP isn’t about perfection or solving every facet of the problem. It’s about putting your best foot forward—building a simple yet effective solution. One that gains enough traction for you to glean insights for iteration as you search for product market fit. With it, you can start answering questions like: ➡ Am I headed in the right direction? ➡ What do my users want next? ➡ How much is it worth it to people to solve this problem? 4. Stay humble Once you’ve launched your MVP, don’t take your finger off the pulse. Based on the goals and KPIs you chose, set up analytics to track user behavior success. If it’s unexpected, drill deeper into those signals. Listen to what users are telling you through their actions. You’re on the right track if you’re seeing high conversion rates and NPS scores + low abandonment rates and time-to-task. But if not, seek detailed user feedback—and stay humble and agile; many successful companies originated from pivots. 5. Allocate resources wisely When you’re starting to build a product, your main goal is to use the initial resources you have to properly validate your concept validation to secure more capital and help find product-market fit. These resources are precious, so staying lean and investing only in high-impact initiatives is critical. Prioritize: ➡ Intuitive experience > aesthetics ➡ Development best practices > quick but shoddy programming ➡ Creating an ‘a-ha!’ moment > high feature density This approach will extend your runway and show investors you’re strategic and fiscally responsible. There’s a lot more to say on this topic, but these are some of the principles that guide our product development clients. What would you add to this list? #productmanagement #productdevelopment #mvp

Small RNAs, DNA methylation and transposable elements in wheat
BMC Genomics
More than 80% of the wheat genome is composed of transposable elements (TEs). Since active TEs can move to different locations and potentially impose a significant mutational load, their expression is suppressed in the genome via small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs). sRNAs guide silencing of TEs at the transcriptional (mainly 24-nt sRNAs) and post-transcriptional (mainly 21-nt sRNAs) levels. In this study, we report the distribution of these two types of sRNAs among the different classes of wheat TEs,…

Everything is a File: Why Claude Cowork’s Abstraction Matters Anthropic recently released Claude Cowork, and its underlying architecture is worth noting: coding agents are treated as general-purpose agents, and the workspace is abstracted as a filesystem. This approach is particularly interesting to me. During my time at Databricks building a distributed filesystem, we found that files remain one of the most durable abstractions for developer productivity. They provide a standardized interface for: 1. Version Control: Leveraging existing tools like `diff` and `git` for auditing. 2. Scalability: Files allow for straightforward programmatic manipulation in parallel. Agents know how to use battle-tested command line tools. 3. Persistence: They are cost-effective to store and easy to reproduce across environments. We’ve seen this pattern drive significant innovations in storage. Big data frameworks like Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, and even serverless PostgreSQL variants have moved toward treating object storage (files) as the primary storage layer, separating it from compute to achieve better elasticity and reliability. The Implications for Agentic Workflows: By adopting a filesystem abstraction, Claude Cowork generalizes filesystem manipulation by treating it as the primary interface for AI action. It brings the rigor of developer workflows—like branching and state persistence—to a broader audience, allowing anyone to manage digital projects with the same predictability and auditability we’ve long enjoyed in engineering.

Ethan Mollick finally covering Claude Code is significant. He's one of the most influential voices in practical AI adoption, and this will introduce it to hundreds of thousands who've never touched a CLI. His examples - the $1000/month business, the civilisation game - demonstrate real capability. But what he describes is the starting point, not the ceiling. What's emerging in the community is Claude Code as Persistent Infrastructure: orchestration systems that maintain context across sessions, skill libraries that accumulate domain expertise, agent networks handling entire business workflows autonomously. Ethan's right that the interface is intimidating for non-technical users. But the DOS terminal didn't scare away a generation - people learned it because the capability was worth the curve. Claude Code is the same: it rewards System Thinkers regardless of coding background. The skill is process design, not syntax. If his article gets you experimenting: don't stop at one-shot tasks. The power emerges when you think about continuity.

A post by the maintainer and author of the python-chardet who used AI to re-implement the LGPL code and change the license to MIT! This is legally questionable. Fun twist, Dan works for Monarch Money, which I use so it's possible that I've help pay for this work! I've opened a ticket with Monarch to make my concerns clear.
