Reads for Builders
In a fast changing world, it's easy to miss the swaying disruptions. I was struggling, too. So I built my bookmark system to continuously learn. Hope you can also benefit from this curated list.

Is the end of the AI subsidy era upon us?
It's been a full month since our last edition. We'll keep things more consistent from now on. This last month, there's been less revolutions and more iterations in the AI space. People seem to understand what's a real possibility and what's noise now. The next major shift might be upon us, though: is AI nearing the subsidy era end?
Re-learning is the only way to thriving
Builders are spending multiple hours with Claude daily. The reason? Their capacity of turning vision into reality was always capped by other people’s resources. Designers. Developers. Human-hours beyond their capacity. With AI, builders are unleashed. Now, the only limiting factors are their speed of re-learning how to do stuff with AI and the number of hours they pour into a project. And for the real builders, spending multiple hours crafting new stuff isn’t pain. It’s joy.
The changing nature of our jobs
This week we're diving into the seismic shifts reshaping tech: AI is fundamentally changing what makes a great engineer, how teams are structured, and which founders deserve backing. From "vibe coding" tools to new team models orchestrating AI agents, we're watching the industry rewire itself in real time.
AI Launches galore
This week's launches showcase AI's expanding reach across product development, design, and marketing—from Claude's new autonomous capabilities to Google's video generation tools reshaping creative workflows. We're seeing the infrastructure for AI-native work solidify, with design systems becoming machine-readable and autonomous agents handling everything from coding to customer acquisition. It's a pivotal moment where AI integration shifts from experimental to essential across industries.
A calmer week than the last 12...
This week we're exploring the practical side of AI adoption—from building internal agents that actually work to understanding what tools like Claude can't do. We've also rounded up insights on e-commerce transformation, startup funding realities, and a curated list of open accelerators to fuel your next big idea.
Replit Agent 4 Launch + Extra reads
Replit Agent 4 just launched and I truly believe it's a real game-changer you should be learning today — especially if you're starting a new company now or soon. This is a curated list of topics about Replit Agent 4 and extra bookmarks from other topics collected since last edition.
First Edition
This is the launch edition for the weekly reads. This list is much bigger than I intend to have on the future ones, because it's a compilation of my last weeks' bookmarks. I have starred some articles — if you're running low on time, focus on the must-read gems. Expect the next lists to have 15 to 25 bookmarks.
