Introducing clidoro 🍅
Every pomodoro timer broke my terminal workflow until I built this.
Built for humans (TUI) and AI agents (skills).
Pomodoro timer for your terminal.

What if you never had to get an API key ever again?
You can spend 5 min (vibe) coding an app, but 30 min getting the API keys
We need OpenRouter for all APIs. But as a protocol
Meet x402, my first real use for crypto

𝚝𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚎 downloading to your terminal in t-5.
Big announcement, next week!
yay we're trending on github! ⭐️
For the Winter Olympics, I’m done with vibe coding and have moved onto vibe curling.
The latest in my "startups as bands" series. 🎸
"The best founders do the same. Strategy changes. Products get rebuilt. Markets shift. But the reason these people are working together remains intact.
As investors, this matters more than any roadmap."

It's so cold in Boston right now that packs of coyotes are able to cross the water today.

holy crap! dan abramov knows about val town!
new thing at @val.town - every val gets a database! plus a database browser / ui. blog.val.town/scoped-datab...
maybe the coolest part: if you fork someone's val, you get a copy of the database schema.
400,000,000 lines of shell, here we comeeee 🚀
we rebuilt @val.town's ai agent from scratch for the 5th time, and it's pretty great! would love any feedback :)

just built a fun little GitHub link preview for Atuin Desktop!
what else should we support?
lots has shipped this week for Atuin Desktop! 🐢
✨ ai assistant for authoring + editing runbooks
💅 pretty new sidebar
⚙️ compose your workflows with sub-runbooks
🛜 better SSH config support
To start 2026 I officially joined @stevekrouse.com, @macwright.com, and co. at @val.town as a programmer-writer, part-time while I continue writing my book :)
Val Town's founding poem is still my favorite way to describe what it is:
> If GitHub Gists could run
> And AWS Lambda were fun
We just published our first public case study.
modany.com has been using @tuist.dev since 2022.
They had followed the project for years, and @natanrolnik.bsky.social was even on the core team.
3 years later: 200 modules, CI from 20+ min to 9.

11.14 is live! And we included something SUPER cool to cap off 2025...
Remember when we shipped MCP and you could finally talk to your Directus instance through Claude or ChatGPT?
Cool, but also meant keeping two apps open. We fixed that!
✨ AI Chat ✨ is now a sidebar in the Data Studio.
It's not a secret anymore: Tuist is coming to Android 🤖
Caching, insights, and the features you've loved in Xcode projects, now for Gradle.
One solution across platforms, ready for agents.
DM me if you want to be first in line 👀

The real genius (the Real Genius) is knowing when not to invest, knowing why to invest, and knowing that even infinite capital can’t guarantee you infinite outcomes.
Even if a fund could invest in every AI startup, that doesn't create a closed system, because technology outcomes live in the open world:
Startups get to reject you. They get to limit allocations. They get to choose your competitor over you. They get to avoid you entirely if they think you’re just trying to “index the future.”
Because here’s the thing: venture capital is not a sweepstakes. Venture capital is not a closed system. And even a fund with “infinite capital” doesn’t get to enter every company’s cap table like Lazlo stuffing envelopes into a contest hopper.
Owning 1% of every AI company isn’t a strategy; it’s a very expensive form of FOMO.

Founders, this was fun to write. I came up through building startups, not traditional finance, and that shapes how I think at @pwv.com. Writing it out reminded me exactly why I chose this path: to be in it with you. Deeply, thoughtfully, and in service of your creativity. pwv.com/news/post-wh...
launching a coding agent soon, we'll be competing with Cursor/Copilot and all other dumb coding agents that learn nothing from you. i'm so excited to share command code soon!!
“152 stars today” 😌
Super excited about commandcode.ai coding agent with taste.
It's a meta neuro-symbolic reasoning space with continuous reinforcement learning (RL).
We combine reasoning with neural intuition to create an invisible architecture of choices, we call taste.
Just sent out alpha invites.
i'm hiring a 'growth engineer' to work side-by-side with me at val.town in brooklyn
we're a small team on a mission to spread the joy of programming
we're looking for someone self-directed, loves talking to users, write english & typescript, and own projects end-to-end
if this is you, reach out!!
We built the fund we wanted as founders.
After a decade of building and investing with cos like GitHub and Stripe, we’re excited to share PWV Fund I, early-stage capital for technology founders creating what’s next.
Ideas start with founders. Founders start with PWV.
