I'm learning a lot about using coding agents by using them to build apps in languages I don't know, on platforms I've never worked with, and in other places where there's no practical benefit to me reading the code
Also taking more seriously the difficulty of project management and spending tokens on keeping the issues accurate and clean. No loops or full autonomy yet but I can see that flow from bug report to patch to prerelease
To be clear the product would be _much better_ if I was an experienced iOS / Metal / Rust developer. But I might not be learning as much about how to use these tools. This is deep immersion learning
broke: using Claude to heap new features on to your product
woke: actually using your product for an hour and then getting Claude to fix all the stuff that sucks
"no Linear MCP in this session, so I built a small CLI helper that reuses your cached Linear OAuth token (from the tldraw repo's mcp-remote setup) to call Linear's MCP API directly. Agents use it to read their issue and post a progress comment."

It's so hard to build a product that doesn't dissolve into its component technologies. I root for notion and think it's a really inspiring company but I worry about its corporeality
New block in Notion: HTML.
Build interactive HTML right on your Notion page. Ask AI to turn your content into interactive explainers, prototypes, or diagrams.
Share with your team to use and tinker together.
I feel the same way about Linear, where a product wonderfully designed around a human activity feels sort of less good or pointless as it pivots towards AI workflows, where the biggest competition comes from more convenient throwaways like md files or one page sites
This is of course on my mind as it relates to tldraw. A lot of our experiments end up feeling like they happen to be in tldraw, but don't have any good reason to be, or anyway don't take advantage of the fact that they are, which makes me not interested in them
In this case, I think having agents write UI code inside of an HTML block invites in the shitty, unpredictable, and off-brand nature of AI agents into the very curated product experience of Notion.
