@sang_wen @genspark_ai GO WEN!! 🔥

@aaron_epstein u called?? i'm a designer (ex-dropbox), and i quit my job to start a company. here's the thing: most designers don't WANNA be founders, but they're perfectly positioned to do it. proof: i built our entire front-end in 30m at a hackathon and got our first customer that same day

More designers should be founders. And we want to back them at YC. Over the next decade, as new coding tools make it easier than ever to build and ship products quickly, great design is going to matter even more.

@aaron_epstein get us into @ycombinator?? you asked founders to rethink how agencies will be built. we built an ai that gets startups press coverage - pay only when stories land. $1k revenue week 1, 10% response rate (20x industry avg). let's chat?

as a seattle seahawks fan since february 2026 i can’t put into words how much this all means to me

@gracepace_ LOL I love this

“I wrote ‘Pontiac’ about the intensity of teenage love and loss, which I think many people write off as shallow, but I personally think is anything but.

"It’s also a reference to movement and transportation - you are going through this very important stage in your life with another person."

"I talk about the car so much, because it’s one of the only physical things that could anchor me in the memory of that time.

"All of the things you couldn’t say, because you didn’t know how to, all the ways you hurt each other without meaning to, and the ephemeral intensity of falling in love before you knew what it meant.

"The loss, then, is not just of the person, but of the time.

"The love often persists past the expiration of the relationship, not only because the person meant so much to you, but because they are inextricably linked to your own process of figuring out who you are in the world, and you to theirs.

"Neither person has learned how to negotiate their boundaries yet, and you end up falling into another person just as they might fall into you.

"When you involve yourself in an intimate partnership so young, you end up guiding another person through the pain of adolescence just as you’re learning to navigate it yourself.

"Neither person has learned how to negotiate their boundaries yet, and you end up falling into another person just as they might fall into you.
