Thirteen days from now, the FDA convenes a panel that has never convened before. On September 23, 2026, the Molecular and Clinical Genetics Panel sits down to vote on Grail's Galleri test, the first multi-cancer early detection test ever to reach an FDA advisory committee.

Five straight days inside Claude Code, shipping, prototyping, handing off to his dev team, and coming back for more. It is the kind of week that either produces a business or produces a burnout, and the whole episode is really about the difference between those two outcomes.

She describes seeing the name in her mind's eye, getting up, and telling her team they were pivoting that day. The word was Twinnin. She had spent the previous year running AI KAT, making AI-generated video ads for clients like Capital.com and Reckitt's Dettol brand. On one project she needed a trader character.
