Opus 4.7 has gotten better over the last few days. When it came out was honestly worse than Opus 4.6 IMHO. I've heard great things about Gemma 4 as well - planning to try it out soon

Open source but license it properly - AGPL works best if you are worried about someone making money off your idea. Honestly though with AI everything is copyable - wouldn't worry about that. Instead focus on the fastest path to get feedback and iterate

Very cool! I will definitely try this out - cartoons is something I have been interested in for a while. Will check it out.

I am a little skeptical about pi.dev's super simple, bare bones architecture. But it does seem to be getting a lot of attention so maybe I should check it out. OpenCode is good IMHO but if you are just sticking with Opus on Max, Claude Code is finetuned for it, so would suggest sticking with it.

Interesting. I have not used codebaseinvestigator before but as the maintainer for a small-medium sized codebase (~150K lines of code) I think this is something I should look into. Thanks for the tip!

This is so cool - will try it out. Pure browser based video editing is ambitious. Are you using Remotion ?

Ability to think like a human who will use your product. It's the small details like looking at a web page and understanding if it "makes sense" and "looks good" and what improvement would make usability better. AI can write the code and follow best practices, but the ability to think like a real human user and be a true Product Manager is something that would always be needed IMHO
