Top Long-Form Content

1. We Built an AI Employee in 62 mins (Cursor, ChatGPT, Gibson, Crew AI) (Podcast)

   1. What we liked: Just the right depth video walk through of building a powerful agent with demonstration of the actual tools.

2. The Death of Product Development as We Know it

   1. What we liked: Outlines a practical new methodology—prototype-and-prune—that prioritizes working software and real feedback over exhaustive documentation and static plans.
