AI workflows aren’t just for prototypes.
I rebuilt parts of the @codeyam.bsky.social website using an agentic coding workflow...and it is almost production-ready.
Curious: would you trust AI-generated code in your own projects if humans reviewed it first?

We ran an experiment: can AI tools build real, functional software from a natural language prompt?
The result: a deep dive across 7 “vibe coding” tools, from v0 to Lovable to Figma Make.
All built something, but not always what we expected.

Been diving into how AI is reshaping software development.
Not just faster code, but better feedback loops, more intuitive tooling, and sometimes strange bugs.
Wrote a piece on what I’ve been learning through CS50, vibe coding tools, and building in the in-between. open.substack.com/pub/nseldeib...

On Learning How to Build Software in the AI Era, With and Without Coding
Despite working at software companies for over a decade, I held roles where I often looked at code but rarely touched it.

Just published a practical guide to recruiting quality user research participants when you're bootstrapping the process 🔍
At CodeYam, we've learned that talking to the wrong people = useless data, no matter how good your questions are.

As a founder wrestling with the speed v. quality tradeoff, I'm fascinated by AI tools promising both. Our product designer tested four AI-native tools to redesign our @codeyam.bsky.social site.
The result: impressive speed, but real limitations.

No matter how good AI becomes, one fundamental challenge persists: communication.
Despite significant AI progress, effectively communicating with LLMs remains a significant and under-appreciated problem that will hold back AI's value.

This is crazy, egregious, beyond the pale. Musk has legitimate influence and power and is pushing to jail a political opponent. A prominent senator. This is as anti-democratic as it gets.
Elon musing about prosecuting schiff isn’t mere politics, it’s a lot more than that. I wish Schiff would explain a little bit more of what a norms crusher this is.
No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Spent two days with the Boldstart community in Miami talking AI-native software development.
We're not just changing what we build, but HOW we build. Everyone's using AI tools, DX is evolving rapidly, and we're seeing early signs of a B2A (business-to-agent) future emerging.

Did I always know I wanted to become a founder?
I get asked this question all the time.
Today, I shared the journey that led me from to the @southparkcommons.bsky.social Founder Fellowship and creating CodeYam with my co-founder Jared.

Morning thoughts on successful founder-market fit and the roles played by effort, ability, and luck.
These are distinct yet interconnected factors that you can influence but cannot perfectly control as a founder.

Isolation and abstraction are two useful techniques that humans use to navigate complexity and large amounts of inputs.
Historically, we've applied these concepts to great effect when developing software.
But what about when developing software with AI?

New product feature shipped! Our goal with CodeYam is to make it easier to understand, test, and deliver valuable software changes.
To do that, you have to tame software’s complexity. This demo shows how we try to do that for CodeYam itself.

Earlier I was looking for great product-oriented demos of software products. Found a 16 year old "DropBox" demo @dropboxofficial.bsky.social that certainly fit the criteria. Not sure if it was successful or not at the time, but it's incredibly product-centric.
