turns out when you turn 40 they just give you this stuff for free

AI is reshaping how software gets built. From AI agents writing code to developers becoming more like project managers, the landscape is changing fast. We talked with Ben Vinegar (Ben Vinegar), Co-Founder of Modem(Modem), about: • How developer tools are evolving with AI

My favorite “pelican riding a bike” challenge is asking ChatGPT how many letters are in its name with my kids. They think it’s the funniest thing on earth when it’s wrong, and hopefully teaching a valuable lesson along the way.

What if your PM generated banger visualizations for every bug your customers hit?

👋 Welcome to our newest teammate, Justin. All Modem employees get a maxed-out PC workstation from 1997 – no expenses spared. We can tell he's thrilled!

Instead of killing your company, consider asking Modem: "Are we working on the right things?" It will compare your shipped PRs to what users are actually asking for.

can't decide which animated character best describes my development flow: 1. vibe engineer a bunch of wild ideas over the weekend 2. spend the rest of the week refining slop & getting them merged

i think the biggest difference between Tim Hortons and McDonald’s is that a farmers wrap is pretty good while a spicy snack wrap is literally the worst thing I’ve eaten in decades, maybe in my lifetime h/t internetVin

i've had something like boudbot running in slack with a team of mine aince november, and i think it's the most useful inference based program i've written so far, specifically it being designed for team use. baudbot looks neat!

Monday will go down in history as one of the best timed product launches of all time

Coding isn't holding you back. Product work is. Introducing Modem, your dev team's auto-triage PM. It listens to user signals 24/7, finds problems before you do & does the work you're slow at – filing tickets, pinging teammates, closing the loop. Sign up today at Modem

Modem now supports Event Automations! Automatically spin up a Modem cloud agent to do product work when: - high priority topics are detected - new feature requests emerge - PRs ship, and more!

stopped tracking yc launches manually. everyone ships too fast. Modem for orchestration + Attio mcp + KERNEL mcp handles it all in natural language now.

we use modem to build modem, and it's cool to see how each connection makes the agent 10x more useful for our team
