Does Any Startup Write Code Themselves Anymore? (Investment Banker Turned Tech VC)

I was an investment banker in my early 20s and decided to switch to VC as a potentially better alternative for my career. I previously thought that startups writing code with AI was generally a bad sign, that it meant they weren't the strongest technically. (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Folk)

Is this now the norm for startups? How recurrent is it to have a fully vibecoded codebase?

Before you start frying me, I have been seriously disconnected from the tech sphere and major tech news for several years.

I figured I'd ask here because I'd rather hear from actual regular developers than get the polished bs VC answer.

Lemlist for multichannel outreach or something else?

Working on a project with a tight budget, mainly cold email + LinkedIn sequences. Lemlist covers both channels in one place which is why I'm kinda leaning towards them but how solid are they actually right now? Haven't touched the platform in a while (probably over a year at this point) honestly not sure if there are sharper tools out there or if it makes more sense to just build something with n8n.

Any suggestions? Any feedback is appreciated.

Lakeview Loan Servicing $26M data breach settlement closes June 22, up to $5K

Got the breach notice from Lakeview back in 2022 and completely forgot about it until I saw the settlement listed on classaction.org last night. Posting in case anyone else missed the deadline reminder.

Quick rundown:

Lakeview Loan Servicing (the second largest mortgage servicer in the US) had a data breach in October 2021 that exposed Social Security numbers, loan numbers, and other personal identifiers. The class action just settled for $26 million.

If you received a breach notice from them, you qualify. Two payout options:

Up to $5,000 if you can document out-of-pocket losses (identity theft costs, credit monitoring you paid for, miscellaneous expenses, plus up to 2 hours of lost time at $20/hour).A pro rata cash payment from whatever is left of the fund. No proof required for this one.

California residents get an additional pro rata payment under the CCPA on top of either tier. Everyone in the class also gets one year of free credit monitoring included.

Filing deadline is June 22, 2026. The claim form is on the KSACMS settlement portal (the official administrator).

Mortgage servicers send so much paper that most people probably tossed the notice in 2022. Worth digging through old mail if you had a loan with them.
