PWV Portfolio Feed

I am going to start posting more here. What kind of database content do people want?

Taste is the biggest engineering moat for you & your team.
Alhamdulillah! 
Let's go!!

Our $5M seed is led by PWV fund of Tom Preston-Werner (Co-founder of GitHub).

Joined by incredible investors and founders:
Luca (CFO, Apple)
Dane (CTO, Cloudflare)
Paul @kiwicopple (CEO, Supabase)
Amjad Masad (CEO, Replit) & Michele Catasta
Feross (CEO, Socket)
Zeno Rocha (CEO, Resend)

Your taste is transparent and stored in a readable taste[.]md file.

You can inspect it, edit it, or reset it entirely.

And you can share it:
$ npx taste push --all
$ npx taste pull ahmadawais/cli

Senior engineers can encode their patterns for everybody on the team.

The benchmarks speak for themselves:

CLI scaffolding: 4.2 edits → 0.4 edits (month 1)
API endpoints: 3.1 → 0.3
React components: 3.8 → 0.5
Test files: 2.9 → 0.2

The improvement compounds.

More usage = better constraints = fewer corrections.

"But what about rules files?"

Rules decay. You wrote them six months ago. Your codebase evolved 100 times since. Now they contradict each other.

Command learns continuously from what you actually do, not what you remembered to document.

Taste is auto-learned/managed/updated!

How? A new AI model architecture `taste-1`.

It's a meta neuro-symbolic model that separates learned constraints (symbolic) from generation (neural).

Your interactions become reward signals. The symbolic layer updates in real-time. No fine-tuning. No batch training.

I asked Claude Code and Command Code to write a simple CLI for today's date.

❌ Claude gave me console.log spaghetti.

🤘 Command Code knew I prefer TypeScript, Commander.js, semantic versioning, -v flag, and ISO date formatting.

Same prompt. Completely different output.

We call the missing piece "coding taste"

It's the thousands of micro-decisions you've built up over years: how you name variables, when you extract helpers, which patterns you reach for, how you structure tests.

LLMs can't see any of it.

They optimize for the statistical avg.

most documentation landing pages fail the squint test

if i can't tell what your tool does in 3 seconds with my eyes half-closed, you already lost me

documentation that looks like a product gets read
documentation that looks like an afterthought gets skipped
