Elon Musk filed to take SpaceX public at a dizzying $1 trillion valuation, despite the company posting nearly $5 billion in losses last year. It is a highly aggressive move that pitches an absurd $28.5 trillion “total addressable market” to retail investors, potentially leaving the public as bagholders if the aerospace company’s astronomical growth projections do not materialize.

AI Workflow Practice: 100% Vibe Coding for Game Jam is today’s standout piece, detailing a solo developer’s journey building a complete Unity game in 21 days relying entirely on “vibe coding”. By directing AI agents like Cursor and Codex to handle code generation, and ElevenLabs for audio generation, the author achieved a 10x increase in code volume compared to previous jams, writing over 31,000 lines of code without manually typing it. The piece is a fascinating look into how agents are reshaping the entire development workflow—from turning messy Notion lists into structured game configs to autonomously debugging Unity WebGL builds in isolated Git worktrees.
