Some factors to consider are promotions, pip, or just being fired

Exactly the engineers I've talked to are all so EXCITED

At a company like Anthropic, which is one of the fastest-growing companies in the world, there is more work than anyone can reasonably deal with

Yeah exactly, if you're seeing your own stock go up like the Anthropic employees are, it's gonna be hard to not work 12 hours

The Anthropic team looks to be eating all the usecases and application layer. I personally know of many figma + AI startups that are going to feel shaken up with this launch.

Anthropic has distribution on their side, their engineers are excellent (I have ran with them across the ggb in the past and they work 12 hours plus a day regularly.)

I think what actually might be slowing them down is the public releases and pr lol, not ideas or execution

Looks amazing. I've been trying different stacking PR tools and Graphite and this looks to be the most human-centric so far. I'll have a shot at using this within our team soon. Congrats on the launch!

ty! any CEOs or product people at SaaS companies that come to mind to reach out to? I've been trying to get this in front of more people, so far they're always mind blown when they see how the product works

Smart! That's what I do as well for customers when they ask me to build a vibe coding layer on top of their SaaS platform.

Takes very little time and tokens and I get to plug into their platform in seconds.

Nice ty for sharing I was going to build something like this for a customer.

I think just downloading all network traffic and giving it to claude code is the fastest and cheapest approach for 99% use cases.

I'm glad to hear that it resonates! And yes, being able to provide a guardrailed environment has been the biggest problem that we're solving.

Now every customer can get the power of Claude Code and vibe coding in a safe and controlled environment.

I think every company should open source their code [video]

Ty fixed! Allow me to blame it on the lack of sleep as I'm in the current yc batch.

One way to solve it is to partner with the enterprise directly and work within their guardrails

Shameless plug: my company does it, live with Series B companies.

Nice vision, "alternative frontends" is something really useful for horizontal SaaS. We do this for over 2000 customers, from field workers to CEOs of public companies, and it's so satisfying to hear the great feedback when they tell me that they finally have software perfectly adapted to their workflows.

Nice post and I agree that making software with really simple UX for last mile cases is the solution to the SaaS-pocalypse and is something new that was not possible before AI.

I'm solving this from the other side of the equation: we work directly with the SaaS vendors to make vibe coding embedded into their platform. Working with some Series B companies right now, 2000 business users are now able to build any feature they want, within the guardrails of the SaaS vendor. (More info in profile if anyone wants to chat)

Exciting times!

Pyrite or fool's gold, lovely mathematical perfection and a great etymology to match!
