"I've been building that up where if I'm working with this and something goes wrong, I would essentially hop into the place where I have these skills and say, 'Here's what happened. Give me a suggestion on how to improve this skill so this doesn't happen again.'"
"The process itself of building this was very much prompt driven, I'll say, chatting in Slack and saying, hey, wouldn't it be nice if we had a hub for this"
"OpenClaw finally allows me to get to because it's actually doing the heavy lifting... I want to be able to take photos of a lesson that I do and then just upload them and have the actual OpenClaw log the full lesson contents."
"So what I can do is say send all five states signup flow to Figma. Now the agent's going to do is read my codebase, understand what I'm referring to when I say those five states, and for each one of those, it's going to individually import that one by one into Figma"
"I thought it might be fun to have a deer in a New York City apartment. I got these images. They're definitely on par in terms of general style."
"I have to give kudos to Cursor. I'm still a Cursor girl. I think Cursor does a good job of building harnesses for all of these models."

"When you use sub agents, it will spin up three different agents and each of those agents can have their own persona... I found really good results with this kind of framework"

"Cursor has background agents. You know everything has you you codeex you can kick off online."
"In VS Code in cursor and whatever your IDE is, loading a project at the multi-repo level is really important."
"Multi-person collaboration, multi-player collaboration in a way that prompting code in something like a Codex or a Cursor or Claude Code really isn't built for."

"For example, I use this Remotion best practices one to let me import components and regularly create videos really, really quickly."
"I love Remotion, too. Again, uh programmatic video generation. Super super cool."
"Linear is an incredible tool. It's doing some triaging."
