I remember when Common Projects were only known by artists and type designers. And you wore them with APC Petite Standards and you spent most of your time on Tumblr reposting Lawrence Weiner’s art. How the hell did these become the VC uniform?

“Is that a @comet jumper?” You better believe it. I’m not much of a car guy. As a kid, my father drilled into my head that they’re costly, depreciating assets. But I am a definitely a browser guy. Comet is my whip.

@rsms: y’all should make a font, it’s not that hard. @soleio: yeah ok, tomorrow.

@its_unks @Kailzer @signulll Typically Claude will write like a brief, so not actually context but it gives context. For delegate tasks this is great because Claude can just take in all the new data

@henrymodis @Kailzer @signulll so other ones just won't have context, interesting. I use Superset rn so I run them next to each other and kinda just copy snippets between them as needed. this is way smarter

not a single person i have ever spoken to uses gemini for coding. this is still very very weird. why is gemini so bad at coding when google has scoured the web full of code for decades?

@its_unks @Kailzer @signulll As long as you have all CLIs installed and authed you can just tell Claude to use them. So like “do a deep research on soy bean farming, tell Gemini to do the same, and then compare notes when you are done” I do stuff like this all the time. Asking them to work together

@signulll @henrymodis still be cautious with that, I tired that and Gemini misses a lot of things. I had to check a few times and gemini tends to "summarise" lines.

I’m still experimenting with the automated part but to manually do it you can just tell Claude to use the Gemini cli. In Claude.md you should be able to prompt it to happen automatically if you describe what scenario. I do have an automated codex code review that runs as part of a prepush commit hook, so that’s deterministic.

@kyleturman In 2009 I worked at a healthcare tech company that had to send people to their hospital customers to teach them how to use compute mice

my sister just admitted that for the last year she thought vibe coding was taking a gummy before writing code 😂

It’s a lovely paradox that, often, the less you understand something, the more likely you are to innovate on it.

Craziest part is we all knew each other already in high school! Along with @randomjohnnyh (Perplexity cofounder), @demi_guo_ (Pika CEO), @stevenkplus1 and Andrew (Cognition), and many others. We all grew up in different states but met thru the olympiad scene. Vividly remember this line from @alexandr_wang when we were around 19: "I hear people saying they want to find the next Paypal mafia. Why shouldn't it just be us?" Glad to see @chameleon_jeff get the recognition he deserves :)

@karrisaarinen Definitely feels like there's nobody who holds the same level of ambition combined with uncompromising commitment to principles around the things you described. Compromise is easier!

I keep thinking I miss having someone like Steve Jobs in the industry. He had some standards. He cared about quality, coherence, and making great products. He could be ruthless and he had plenty of flaws, but it still felt like he and Apple were trying to make something genuinely great above all else. They had their opinions and you could respect that. They didn't try to force you, but make their case why they think it's good. Now tech feels driven by trend chasing, fear, scale, revenue comparisons, endless games and everyone talks their book. Investors come first, business goals next, and users last if not at all. I wish there would still someone like Steve still around

Perplexity started as a small business tool for ourselves. We had 4 people and no revenue with AI at our fingertips. The pivot to Computer is actually a full circle. Founders are using it to grow companies that matter to the economy and their communities.  It’s rewarding to see it now powering small businesses and startups in big ways. Perplexity is still a startup. We just 5X’ed revenue from $100M to $500M with only 34% growth in team size. 2x revenue growth in 2026 with same small team. And we’re just warming up. Everyone here works at a small business, and everything we build is for people who build.

*SEEKING SUMMER INTERN* I'm bringing on an intern this summer to work with me at the studio. Work on real pre-launch consumer products, and see the inner workings of a small design practice. Requires some IRL time in Berkeley, so likely a @UCBerkeley student. Apply below!
