Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Full write up: open.substack.com/pub/nseldeib...open.substack.comRunning Towards (and Past) 35!Running, aging, ambition, and my 35th birthday wish: your support for Runtoberfest 010
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 03/09/2026My birthday isn’t for another couple of weeks yet but sharing my wishes early. Happy Virgo season! 110
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 03/09/2026However, my birthday wish, which I'm breaking taboo and putting out there, is all about running. Specifically, my ambitious crazy goal of "Runtoberfest" and finishing 4 races in the month of October. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I've been feeling weird about turning 35. Not because I'm getting older necessarily (though I am) but because it's been a period with a lot of change and a major birthday feels more like an afterthought. 1 ultramarathon + 1 trail half marathon + 1 "virtual" marathon + 1 x 5k. 110
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 21/07/2026New on the CodeYam blog: Workflows for the Win! We felt this concept was so important that we wrote two versions: one for developers using technical language, and another for curious new-to-software or non-technical readers. 000

Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I wrote up my experience, reflections, and advice for anyone considering applying (with the important caveat that my experience was as part of the inaugural 2021 cohort). blog.nseldeib.com/p/applying-t...blog.nseldeib.comApplying to the South Park Commons Founder Fellowship: My Experience and AdviceReflections from a member of the inaugural 2021 Founder Fellowship cohort. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Applications for the Fall 2026 @southparkcommons.bsky.social Founder Fellowship are now open. Five years ago, I almost didn't apply. Looking back, it was one of the most consequential decisions of my career. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Two conversations have stayed with me since Vercel Ship NYC last week so I wrote up a few reflections, with post title inspired by the conference wall art: "You Can Just Ship Things." blog.nseldeib.com/p/you-can-ju...blog.nseldeib.comYou Can Just Ship ThingsNotes from Vercel Ship NYC on AI-native software development, history, and the future of building. 010
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 12/06/2026As distance between an idea and a working prototype has gotten dramatically smaller, I've found myself building more. More thoughts on this: blog.nseldeib.com/p/what-if-cr...blog.nseldeib.comWhat If Creativity Was the Constraint?What happens when the distance between an idea and working software becomes dramatically shorter? Some thoughts on creativity, curiosity, and AI-powered building. 000
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Can you share more? 000
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Wrote more about trail running, questionable decisions, supportive strangers, and what this all made me realize: blog.nseldeib.com/p/on-stubbor...blog.nseldeib.comOn Stubbornness, Trail Running, and Questionable DecisionsReflections from my first intentional trail race (plus a couple other endurance experiments) 010
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 21/05/2026It gets framed as a flaw, but in the right contexts, I think it’s a superpower. The same stubbornness that gets me through endurance experiments also shows up in startup founder life. 230
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Last weekend I ran my first 24K trail race. Then, because my race tracking failed and I’m apparently very stubborn, I ran another half marathon the next morning for NYRR virtual race credit… then climbed the Manitou Incline 😅 Now that my legs have recovered, I’ve been reflecting on stubbornness. 110
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 18/05/2026If you’re curious about where AI is helping (and falling short) in software development or product design, I highly recommend this piece. blog.codeyam.com/p/the-two-xs...blog.codeyam.comThe Two X’s ProblemWhy AI-designed brands feel like AI-designed brands 010
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Dani brings exactly that. She combines deep experience in traditional design with relentless curiosity about emerging AI capabilities, and her perspective here is thoughtful, practical, and worth reading. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 18/05/2026What often feels missing from the conversation is nuance: the perspective of someone who deeply understands design craft and is actively experimenting at the frontier of these tools. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Lately, I’ve seen a growing wave of conversation, here and elsewhere, about AI-generated design: hacks, workarounds, prompt files, hot takes about “taste,” and plenty of roasting of AI-designed products. Some of it is entertaining. Much of it feels incomplete. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 18/05/2026At CodeYam, we’re lucky to work with an incredibly talented product designer, Dani, who’s been pushing the limits of what AI can (and can’t) do in software product design. blog.codeyam.com/p/the-two-xs... 120
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 15/05/2026On a long training run recently, I had an "aha!" moment. There’s something powerful (magic, even) about bringing together a group of women each attempting a very hard thing. Startups can be lonely. But there’s also deep connection in shared ambition, vulnerability, and honesty. FFR embodies this. 030
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 15/05/2026As a second-time attendee at the Female Founders Retreat, I had a surprisingly hard time putting this year’s experience into words. I wrote up my thoughts on The Magic of Attempting Hard Things here: blog.nseldeib.com/p/the-magic-...blog.nseldeib.comThe Magic of Attempting Hard ThingsReflections on my experience at the 2026 Female Founders Retreat. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Full thoughts here: blog.nseldeib.com/p/networking...blog.nseldeib.comNetworking Tips for HumansEspecially if you hate networking. 000
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I wrote up some of the approaches and lessons that have worked well for me over time, especially as someone who had to learn this through practice rather than natural charisma. Hopefully some of it is useful, especially for folks who hate transactional networking as much as I do. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 06/05/2026For me, networking is much closer to cultivation, curiosity, empathy, vulnerability, listening, experimentation, and genuine human connection. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Recently, I’ve been reflecting on something I think is one of my superpowers: networking. Ironically, I hate the word “networking.” It evokes transactional interactions, performative conversations, people aggressively collecting LinkedIn connections or pitching each other. That’s not what I mean. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 23/04/2026I wrote a longer recap of the Demo Day and shared more about the presentation here: blog.nseldeib.com/p/vercel-ai-... Photos by Natalie N Photography. www.natalienphotography.comblog.nseldeib.comVercel AI Accelerator Demo Day Experience: Introducing CodeYam EditorWrapping up the Vercel AI Accelerator with a Demo Day in San Francisco 010
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Huge thanks to the Vercel team, especially Caroline and Alli, for such a thoughtful accelerator program. Now, back to building. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 23/04/2026It was our first time demoing the product publicly. As with any live demo, I left with ideas for how to improve it, but the conversations afterwards were energizing. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 23/04/2026While “simulation” is a familiar term, software simulation is new for most people outside our team. The idea is to help you actually see and understand what AI is building, making it easier to build, iterate on, and maintain complex applications. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 23/04/2026My goal was to introduce the idea of software simulation for AI-native software development and demo our new CodeYam Editor live. The demo showed two apps I built with CodeYam (a mobile app and a Next.js web app) using Claude Code as the AI agent. 200
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 23/04/2026🚨 3 minutes and 30 seconds. One new category. Two live demos. No pressure, right? 😅 Last week I presented CodeYam at the Vercel AI Accelerator Demo Day at Okta HQ in San Francisco. 110
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 25/03/2026After years of relatively quiet and focused R&D, we're excited to start sharing more of the CodeYam (@codeyam.bsky.social) vision and what we’re building. blog.codeyam.com/p/the-ideal-...blog.codeyam.comThe Ideal Software Development ExperienceWhat might building software look like in the Star Trek universe? 010
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 25/03/2026That thought experiment has led us to some concrete ideas about the future of software development. Today, we published a new vision post sharing how we think the development experience will evolve and why simulation may become a core interface for building software in an AI-native world. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 25/03/2026If you push that frontier lightyears forward, you arrive somewhere closer to Star Trek. Imagining what creating software might look like in a world where powerful tools and intelligent systems are normal starts to reveal new possibilities for how humans and AI could build together. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 25/03/2026You need to stay grounded enough to create and consolidate real value and build quality, not slop. At the same time, you need to be daring enough to operate at the frontier and capture the speed of what’s happening. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I like to think of us as a crew of battle-tested optimistic realists on the frontier of new technologies. That mindset feels necessary in the wild west of AI-native software development. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 25/03/2026What might building software look like in the Star Trek universe? Our team at CodeYam, especially my co-founder @jaredcosulich.bsky.social, has a bit of a superpower: blending imagination (often influenced by science fiction, fantasy, and history) with deep, pragmatic problem solving. 231
Reposted by Nadia EldeibJared Cosulich @jaredcosulich.bsky.social · 14/03/2026We need a phrase, akin to the "uncanny valley" to describe a technological landscape that is far more complex and nuanced than we expected. Self-driving cars are insane! - but they can't handle weather. AI is insane! - but it still struggles to remember things you talked about 10 minutes ago. 121
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 14/03/2026That’s a great point! One thing that I found challenging on this was that it was so tough to get good data, so I don’t feel confident that doing things differently would matter. That’s part of what motivated our second Show HN experiment, but different approach did not change results. 000
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Some things surprised me, and some of the common advice didn’t quite play out the way I expected. If you're planning a launch on either platform soon, I hope this is helpful. blog.nseldeib.com/p/what-i-lea...blog.nseldeib.comWhat I Learned Launching CodeYam CLI & Memory on Show HN and Product HuntStartup founder lessons from building in public 000
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 13/03/2026After our Product Hunt launch this week, a few founder friends reached out asking if we had any learnings or best practices to share. I wrote up an honest (and somewhat long, sorry) reflection on our recent launches to Show HN and Product Hunt, including the prep work and what actually happened. 340
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Shorter feedback loops when building software with agents is crucial! How to shorten and speed up iteration is an obsession. 020
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 11/03/2026We’ve been running it on our own repo for the past few weeks and are seeing fewer repeated mistakes and much less manual context maintenance. Free, runs locally, no login required. We launched it on Product Hunt today. Would love feedback if anyone here tries it. 010
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 11/03/2026CodeYam Memory runs a background agent that reviews coding sessions, identifies confusion patterns, and generates targeted rules with proper scoping. You review and approve everything. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 11/03/2026While digging into this we discovered Claude actually has a native rules system that lets you target context to specific parts of your repo with path matching. Nice primitive, but managing those rules by hand was not sustainable for us. So we built CodeYam Memory. 100
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Over the past few months we’ve been using Claude Code heavily for software development. One issue we kept running into was memory. Claude Code would repeat the same mistakes and our claude [dot] md files would slowly get stale. 120
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 10/03/2026CodeYam CLI & Memory's a small-but-mighty free tool we built after running into repeated issues while coding with agents: context gets messy, mistakes repeat, & memory quickly goes stale. Would love for folks to check it out over your morning coffee or tea tomorrow ☕ Appreciate any support! 000
Nadia Eldeib @nseldeib.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Are you on Product Hunt? After years of lurking, I’m finally launching my first product there tomorrow. If you’re on Product Hunt, feel free to follow me at “nseldeib” and I’ll happily return the favor. Tomorrow morning we’re launching CodeYam CLI & Memory for Claude Code. 100
