The Vercel security breach is a reminder that each and every SaaS tool your team uses IS a security risk of its own - especially if they need broad data access to eg email, internet docs etc (many AI tools do just this) Security teams onboarding new vendors happens for a reason.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Frames the idea around what the reader stands to lose, which is more motivating than gain.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Mechanisms: Loss aversion
Written for: SaaS founders and operators

Ox Alpha (stealth model) is free for the next week - 1M Context - Multi-modal - Zero Data Retention Generous rate limits, near unlimited usage We have capacity for 100T tokens per day, lets see what you can do

I canceled our subscription to the LA Times because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with them being silent. In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is the only way to show I’m standing up.- mh #ThankYouMarielGarza 🙏

My mom just told me she cancelled her subscription to The Washington Post. She reads every one of my stories. It was a heartbreaking call. I understand why she did it, but I asked her to reconsider. To anyone who has cancelled or is thinking about cancelling, here’s what I said:

Usage limits are up, effective today we're: 1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans 2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans 3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models

I've heard a lot of questions about Fable's availability on subscription plans. While it will come off subscriptions after July 7th, we aim to restore Fable as a standard part of our subscriptions as soon as capacity allows, as we mentioned in our original blog post.

SpaceX policy regarding data retention. It is actually helpful for debugging issues if we can retain some amount of data, so allowing this would be appreciated, but your privacy settings are always respected.

Exiting a market is understandable and Uber has done it many times before. Each time, it gave a few weeks of heads up, then shut down, paid drivers + offboarded, closed operations No idea why it would not follow the “usual” playbook Suggests it will never go back

Ok, THIS is wild, never expected anything like this: Uber exited Nigeria… no warning, just shut down the app, on the spot. When riders were mid-trip ?!! This is what a startup that just went bankrupt would do, not a $150B corporation. Uber operated in Nigeria since 2014 (!!)

To everyone who said or liked posts on “SaaS is dead! AI is killing it” - no it’s not: Meta will be paying Slack easily ~$20M/year for a chat product Ask yourself: if they could build something with 2 devs + AI why not do it? They’d save SO MUCH. Because they clearly cannot!!

I just heard: a large company is moving from GChat (Google's Chat product) to Slack, because... Slack has much better agent operability (true) Who thought AI+agents would be a big selling point for Slack? Or that Google would sleep on agents + GChat!

This is what the government defending its residents looks like Make no mistake: NONE of this self-restraint is voluntary. It’s after Meta lost a lawsuit to California (class action by 29 states) about platform child safety. If they don’t do, they’ll be regulated stricter

Damn: 160 employees $100M revenue 177% net revenue retention (a customer who spent $100 a year ago now spends $177) Full-remote Basically no emails Obsessed with performance Some of the best engineers I worked with before now work at Linear Linear is 🔥
