Most companies have messy email signatures. So I built a tiny app for Lovable that fixes it Everyone gets: → A consistent, on-brand signature → A live preview → One-click copy for Gmail, Superhuman, etc. Sharing the exact prompt below so you can build the same thing for your team Lovable prompt: "Build a minimal, professional email signature generator. 1/ Features: → Form inputs: Name, Title, Phone, Twitter/X → Live signature preview that updates while typing → Copy button that copies the signature as HTML for email clients → “How to import?” modal with steps for Gmail, macOS Mail, and iOS Mail → Light and dark mode toggle for the preview 2/ Design: → Clean, minimal layout with warm muted colors → Centered content with generous whitespace → Rounded inputs with clear (X) buttons → Subtle fade-up animation on load → Fully responsive on mobile 3/ Signature output: → Company logo at top linking to website → Name in bold → Title and company in muted gray → Phone and Twitter/X separated by a bullet if both exist → Pure HTML with inline styles for maximum email compatibility"
BREAKING: Apple’s chip chief Johny Srouji informed CEO Tim Cook he is seriously considering leaving the company and would likely continue his career elsewhere rather than retire. Apple is urgently pushing to keep him. He remains at least for now.

Paramount is launching a hostile takeover bid to buy Warner Bros. They are going directly to shareholders with a bid valued at $108.4 billion (Source: https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/paramount-hostile-takeover-bid-warner-bros-discovery-1236603175/…)
Meta's CTO told me Llama 4 was a “disappointment” because it “didn’t have a point of view” and “wasn’t amazing at anything.” He told me Meta’s new model — the first since it revamped the AI team under Alexandr Wang — was just made available to Meta employees internally. I’ve heard that Meta plans to release this model in the first half of this year, and that there are still internal debates about whether/how to open-source it. Bosworth wouldn’t confirm timing but said the following: “It's hard to say because obviously, there's a ton of post-training you have to do. It is looking really good… Once you build the model internally, you stabilize it, then you figure out what the strategy is to bring to the open source community.” More from the interview in Davos here:

Naval Ravikant: “The future will be almost all startups” “I firmly believe that the efficient size of a company is shrinking very rapidly, and so the future will be almost all startups.” In the clip below from a 2012 interview, Naval speculates that information technology will reverse the centralizing force of economies of scale following the Industrial Revolution. “I think the contract work trend is going to increase, and I think the size of your average company is going to decrease. I think we’re going to see more and more billion dollar businesses built by four or five people, and it’ll stay at that.” He doesn’t think we’ll see many more companies like Facebook or Google with tens of thousands of employees: “I think any entrepreneur worth their salt could today build Facebook with a few hundred people… Facebook and Google are in the situation that large companies end up in where the founders know that 80% of the people are not really needed, they just don’t know which 80%.”
A lot of people build startups to win the lottery instead of building the thing they'd build if they’d already won. The companies I'm most drawn to are ones that founders build as machines to do the stuff they want to do with other people who do, too.
We should stop categorizing people as “technical” and “non-technical”
• 50 former founders work at Cursor • 35 former founders work at Notion What other companies do this?
Claude Code is meaningfully changing the roles we hire for @browsercompany, and what’s newly possible with the people we already have. We have designers putting up PRs left and right, non-engineers prototyping their own ideas, and engineers getting the leverage to try more experimental work (that often ends up working!) without negatively impacting the main things they’re on the hook for. In short, thanks to Claude Code, we’re running more experiments and learning faster. It feels like our entire team just got personal e-bikes to explore and paint with code. I know this sounds a little hype-y, but I’m sharing for other founders: Yes, AI thinkbois are annoying on X and it’s mostly noise, but this one is real. If you don’t work Claude Code-native ASAP your team’s going to get left behind (like fully embracing a mobile-native product in the early 2010s). We’re still grappling with what this will change about how we work and hire, but a few things are clear at @browsercompany going forward: - Compensation & talent bar. We will pay a premium for exceptional talent, especially people who are native to the Claude Code way of building. - Perks & processes. We will treat our teammates like a record label treats its artists: our job is to get them into flow, keep them in flow, and help more of their ideas ship. - Creative ambition & freedom. We will do fewer things as a company, but with a breadth and depth within those things — and tolerance for risky bets — that wasn’t previously possible. This also means hiring for new types of roles — to define, design, and oversee this new way of working. That’s why we’re opening a new “Design Producer” role. Someone to lead coordination for all of our product work on @diabrowser. The JD is now live on our jobs page, but the TL;DR is: you’ll coordinate the work of our world-class design team (and other creative collaborators). Especially how our product leaders and their work intersects with (a) other functions internally and (b) collaborators externally. It’s a “come run the record label” and “design the recording studio” role. Help us figure out how an AI-native design team runs, especially one that feels like you’re working with classmates on a creative studio project in college than tech company. The best part of this opportunity are the people you’d be working with. It’s a star-studded crew to learn from, empower, and collaborate with every day. Our designers built the original Medium product, headed up software design for Tesla, led Apple’s Safari browser, and were responsible for some of your favorite features in WhatsApp. Finally, this new “Producer” role is roughly modeled on Apple’s producer discipline. We’re eager to meet design leaders who want to try something more creative, newly-challenging, and IC-Y; or very senior designer ICs who want to coach and collaborate without intense people management. If this sounds interesting, please apply via the JD on our site, or reach out to @dustin or me (my DMs are open here).. You’ll work most closely with the two of us and @tfeener. Our ambition is for Dia to be a person’s primary workspace on their desktop computer. More importantly, we want to design our dream place to work for the next decade. Come help us shape it?
Some U.S. tech firms are beginning to recruit for so-called “996” roles—an intense work schedule borrowed from China’s startup culture that runs from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, per Forbes.
Hiring designers for Claude Code What we’re looking for: high craft, uses Claude Code or other agentic coding tools regularly, experience shipping *really* quickly.
Everyone is freaking out about what @nikitabier has just said about replies. I mean, it’s pretty obvious isn’t it? Reduce the quantity. Increase the quality. I want replies to be value accrual, not deferral. I want them to be expansive, not redusive. Let's improve the conversations we’re having.
Companies' internal tooling will become a set of Lovable apps with dependencies between them, all built by the people who actually use them.
Anthropic's @_sholtodouglas says Dario Amodei's internal communication style is producing a compendium of essays in the company's Slack that will have effectively charted the history of AGI once we get there. "He has a really, really cool communication style. He quite frequently puts out very well-reasoned essays. And throughout Slack, we'll have giant essay-length debates [about them]." "The essays are really nice because you can go back and read all the past ones, and it tells the history of Anthropic." "In many respects, it will be one of the better things, a decade from now, to chart the history of AGI. We'll be reading these compendium of essays." From his appearance on the show last month.
