I like amphetamine. Somehow, more often than not, I start spinning out worktrees and AI tasks right before I have to go. Unlike the happy home office folks, my work life happens 90% at co-working spaces. So, as my teenage sister would say, I crash out if I have to pack home with 5 fresh threads spun off. Or, even worse, if I stay a minute longer at the place I wanted to leave 1-2 hours ago. Amphetamine to the rescue! I usually put it on for an hour or whatever time it will take me to get home and reconnect my network to the iPhone hotspot.

At home, the tasks continue rolling on WiFi or are done on the way. This is an ephemeral issue while we are moving to remote agents and cloud setups, but the notebook will still be the home for many tasks for at least some more months to come.
(Apparently, my computer likes amphetamine, too, given how hot it gets after half an hour in the backpack through the Barcelona summer day - just a word of caution here.)
[AIN#28] AI Nuggets Week 28
As always, good week to hustle your token budgets.

How to Build Your Own AI VP of Marketing Step-by-Step (SaaStr AI)
Step by step build of an agent marketing lead; the org chart thinking transfers even where the tooling is a pitch.
The Dashboard Is Dead: What Snowflake's CMO Does Instead (SaaStr AI)
Agents that answer the question directly instead of dashboards you stare at; BI teams should be paying attention. After hearing about the /morning-brief for the nth time, I started to build my own for engineering. Will probably not be something open-sourceable, but maybe a good one to have for the team.
SEE CMUX SOLVE Multi-Agent Orchestration (Claude Code and Pi Agent) (IndyDevDan)
Multi-agent orchestration across Claude Code and Pi, a different type of "IDE"; I want to look at cmux the same week for restarting sessions when token limits refill. Apparently, the main agent can do anything in the cmux-controlled sessions. But probably there should be better ways for that. I'm still digging Conductor IDE.
Hiring in 2026 vs 2021 (Kai Lentit)
I talked about the tech job market with my 19yo potential co-founder for the next dev community, and I recommended this as a resource to understand the before and after deeply.

All SaaS ideas are agent skills in my head nowadays.
What's the bottleneck right now? When I have a SaaS idea nowadays, I do a thought exercise where I imagine if I can do it as an agent skill, I usually can and sometimes just do it. 🤖

From the real life
Here are stats of AI adoption in my team:
— Igor Alexandrov (@igor_alexandrov) July 11, 2026
• 1,172 PRs merged in the last 6 months – roughly 9–10 every single workday
• ~43% of every PR we’ve ever opened came in the last 12 months
• 2026 is our fastest year yet: 1,286 PRs in ~6 months, already 94% of all of 2025 – on track…
Sol is out, I use it everyday
Bought the 5x subscription, I finally have some tokens and good brain power. Setting everything up doubly now (need to transfer Claude skills, MCPs etc.), but I think it's worth it to be not dependent on one provider. Also, after some research I realized the harness' toolsets (skills, agents, commands, etc) are even less standardized than I thought. I figured OpenRouter or similar tools must have figured this out, but they haven't, so Posts.
GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly this Thursday.
