Not a launch post. Just things I wish someone had written down before I spent a month figuring them out.
1. LLMs send partial payloads on write operations
You ask the agent to update a record. It sends only the fields you mentioned in the prompt. The PUT request goes through, returns 200, and you've silently wiped every field you didn't specify.
The fix: before every write call, fetch the current resource state via the companion GET endpoint and deep-merge the LLM's payload on top. The LLM only needs to specify what's changing the executor fills in the rest.
Not hypothetically. Agents can already book, buy, subscribe, and pay invoices. Some founders I talk to have already handed over a card. Others will not let an agent near anything that moves money.
My answer is yes, but only because of how much control sits around it. An agent in our world gets exactly the access it needs and nothing else, and that changes the risk completely.
It s been officially 1 month since I launched my website on Google. Things are running smoothly on the product side, but SEO-wise, I ve hit a brick wall.
Right now, my Moz Domain Authority (DA) is stuck at 1, and I haven't managed to earn a single organic backlink yet.
For those who have been through the early-stage SEO grind:
Agent memory can be useful, but a confident guess from yesterday can turn into a trusted fact today. In our QA process we decided that a remembered selector or repair should only be returned when it points to concrete evidence: a verified run, a passing test, or a repair that later passes. Recency and contradictions can lower its confidence. No evidence, no memory.
If you re building agents, what criteria make a memory trustworthy enough for automatic reuse?
A design problem I've been stuck on and curious how others have solved it.
Say you want to gate parts of an image a user unlocks regions one at a time by completing a step. If you blur or overlay client-side, anyone can grab the original from the network tab, so the gating is fake.
The approach I've seen work: never send the original at all. The server composites a flattened image with only the unlocked regions and sends that. If unlocks are sequential there are only ~N+1 states, so each composite can be content-addressed and cached generated roughly once.
Questions for anyone who's shipped gated/earned media:
I use ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor almost every day, and they're incredibly good at helping me think, write, and build.
But I've noticed something: As projects grow, my workspace becomes a collection of long chats, scattered documents, bookmarks, screenshots, and dozens of browser tabs.
