Can you share the warning? I made a public page and would say it was not clear to me this was a consequence of doing that. The warning as I remember it (a month ago) makes it sound like the information on this page is going to be public -- not - oh yeah the email addresses of everyone who edited this page will also be leaked.

Really nice release. Excited to see this out in the wild and hopeful more companies leverage this for better end user privacy.

Great post. I've thought about what I want for better Vibe Engineering:

Each agent needs to deliver a fully working App/URL/Build so the functionality can be tested & verified.

Today AI IDEs deliver the diff + an explanation. Excellent. But give me the full build, a build I can share. A build that represents what it would be like shipped. When it comes to user facing functionality, a real build is how product owners verify a feature is complete.

Learn from Vercel -

A key part of Vercel’s magic is the automatic deployments for each branch. When working on a project with per branch vercel deployments - a team gets the immediate value of:

Shareable work - now others can see/test/give feedback on the great new feature you’ve developed - and their only work is to click a link (not git pull a branch and attempt to run locally)

No more “it works on my machine”. It either works or it doesn’t.

Confidence that if released, you know exactly what the user will experience. Give me automatic deployments for each agent, for each PR. And keep them available to spin up / re-use later.

I want to be able to re-launch it 3 months later and it just works. The reason we don’t do this today is the cost of the engineering - but with docker et al + AI agents, the cost of the eng work drops 99%

Deliver the deployment in such a way that immediate feedback to the AI could be given. This way minor tweaks can be executed immediately by the AI meaning that I can just wait for the minor tweak, review and then merge. This means the PR gets shipped NOW.

I did. Were you trying to get VCs to know about you? Or more like a twilio billboard that just said ask your devs?

Out of interest, what is the thinking behind sending a physical mailer to what feels like a large fraction of San Francisco?

Both why send it and why send it with very little info included on the page?
