Just got a monthly digest from PlanetScale on my inbox and they’ve shipped so many blog posts in September that the full list doesn’t fit in the Gmail body. 19 actual engineering posts in a month lol. goated company.

Two of the founders I admire most, @tobi from Shopify and @chacon from GitButler/GitHub have spent their weekend doing two implementations of the design of Origin's git storage layer I published last week. They're both functional already! Just another demonstration that all founders are not the same. These fucking nerds have more money than God and whole-ass companies to run and they spend their spare time re-implementing papers for fun. Bullish as fuck.

Opening my vault. Every animated ad format that's been working lately, I've turned into a Claude skill. > Claymation > Talking objects > Paper animation > skeleton ads > song style ads Add your product and a brief, and it builds the whole ad –> script, scenes, animation, stitched together with voiceover. No motion designer, no manual assembly. Giving away the entire collection. Comment " Vault " and I'll send it over. ( Make sure to follow, so I can DM you )

We're hiring 2 Performance Creative Strategists at Creatify - Scale: You're running creative strategy on 8-figure paid accounts, not managing a spreadsheet of ideas - Execution: You design the AI agents that do the production, then you tell them what to make - Constraints: There aren't any no shoot schedules, no editor bottleneck, no waiting on assets You've run creatives on 7-8 figure Meta or TikTok accounts. You know what converts before the data confirms it. Apply: Send your best performing ad, not your resume. Tag someone who should see this.

Your “AI ads aren’t good enough yet” excuse just expired. Tested both Seedance 2.5 vs 2.0 Same avatar. Same product. Same script. The jump in one version is nuts look at the motion, the way it handles the product, how natural it feels. AI video isn't improving year over year anymore. It's improving version over version, months apart. Whatever looked "off" a month ago deserves a second look. Judge for yourself 👇

The 3rd-busiest advertiser on Meta is a shapewear brand most people have never heard of. We pulled the number of currently-live ads for 28,000+ brands in the Meta Ad Library. The leaderboard says a lot about where paid social is heading. Shopee, Temu, and SheCurve each run more than 20,000 live ads at the same time. For context: the median brand runs 24. What stands out: → 6 of the top 12 are DTC apparel and shapewear brands. SheCurve alone runs more live ads than SHEIN and SKIMS combined. → The rest are marketplaces — Shopee, Temu, SHEIN, Flipkart, Quince. → None of them are running "a few hero ads." They're running thousands of variations at once. The takeaway: the winning ad account stopped being a gallery of polished ads and became a testing engine. You find winners by taking thousands of shots on goal, not by betting on three. And the gap between the median advertiser (24 live ads) and the leaders (20,000+) isn't budget. It's production speed. The brands that can make creative faster simply get more chances to win.

Illustrated paper cutout style, every scene built by one Claude skill + agent, not the usual AI talking head. Paste in your product URL, an offer, or a rough brief. Or drop in your existing video ad with a brief. > It analyzes, writes the script and voiceover > Splits the ad into scenes automatically > Generates the animation scene by scene > Stitches it all together with voiceover on top One Claude skill inside Creatify. No prompting clip by clip. No manual stitching. Full automation, start to finish. Giving away the whole skill + setup flow. Comment " Ad " and I'll send it over.

An agency owner quoted $25K for this animated Ad. We built it with one Claude Skill instead. Here's how it goes: Paste in a product URL, an offer, or just a rough brief. > It writes the script and voiceover like a pro copywriter. > Splits the ad into scenes automatically. > Generates the animation scene by scene, no input needed. > Stitches it all together with the voiceover on top. One Claude skill, running inside Creatify. No prompting each clip one by one. No stitching anything together yourself. Start to finish, it's fully automated. Giving away the entire skill. Comment " SKILL " and I'll send it over. ( Make sure to follow, so I can DM you )

Fable 5 vs Muse Spark 1.1 Ran the exact same brief through both, using Creatify MCP Same product, same brief > No cherry picking. I'll let you be the judge. But I've got a favorite. Curious if you land on the same.
