Talking to smarter folks than me, I'm convinced many of the AI folks in my timeline are full of shit.
Nobody is "running 20 agents over night" and building stuff for actual users. Maybe some are building internal tools or disposable software. Maybe.
But building software people like using? That doesn't get hacked on day one or blow up after the 3rd user? Nope.
I don't even understand what that's supposed to look like. Do you work out a 57 pages document that perfectly describes what you want to build and then summon 14 agents and have them run wild for 6 hours? And what comes out on the other end isn't a broken pile of shit?
Nope. Not buying it.
PS: it may also be that I have an IQ of 82 and can't figure it out.

Fun, but no idea why it was so poorly managed- too many people, mid food, AC barely worked, couldn't hear most of the speakers and when we could hear them, they asked questions like "what are the main takeaways from your journey"
Completely biased but @ConquestBITS demo days >>>

@AbhinavXJ They didn't just invite 2000 people they obviously overbooked assuming a lot of people would cancel
English

how do you invite 2000 people and not have 2000 seats, at least 100+ people are standing

pathetic management at YC startup school India so many people didn't even get a seat to sit and are standing

the least they could’ve done is have a box with a samosa and banana

Tomorrow. YC Startup School India.

yc should book chinnaswamy stadium next time, it can accommodate 25k people.

We had room for 2,000 people at Startup School India. More than 25,000 applied. No Startup School anywhere in the world has ever had this many people apply. Not SF, not NYC, not London. India blew them all away.

@Steve_Yegge Really surprising tbvh. yes claude code is better but every single person I've interacted with at work is writing almost all their code using a claude code-esque agent. Every single team has an AI roadmap for 2026 they MUST meet and I really don't think people are oblivious here

I was chatting with my buddy at Google, who's been a tech director there for about 20 years, about their AI adoption. Craziest convo I've had all year.
The TL;DR is that Google engineering appears to have the same AI adoption footprint as John Deere, the tractor company. Most of the industry has the same internal adoption curve: 20% agentic power users, 20% outright refusers, 60% still using Cursor or equivalent chat tool. It turns out Google has this curve too.
But why is Google so... average? How is it that a handful of companies are taking off like a spaceship, and the rest, including Google, are mired in inaction?
My buddy's observation was key here: There has been an industry-wide hiring freeze for 18+ months, during which time nobody has been moving jobs. So there are no clued-in people coming in from the outside to tell Google how far behind they are, how utterly mediocre they have become as an eng org.
He says the problem is that they can't use Claude Code because it's the enemy, and Gemini has never been good enough to capture people's workflows like Claude has, so basically agentic coding just never really took off inside Google. They're all just plodding along, completely oblivious to what's happening out there right now.
Not only is Google not able to do anything about it, they don't seem to be aware of the problem at all. I'm having major flashbacks to fifty years ago as a kid at the La Brea Tar Pits, asking, "why can't they just climb out?"
My Google friend and I had this conversation over a month ago. I didn't share it because I wanted to look around a bit, and see if it's really as bad as all that. I've been talking to people from dozens of companies since then. And yeah. It's as bad as all that.
Google is about average. Some companies at the bottom have near-zero AI adoption and can't even get budget for AI. They may have moats and high walls, but the horde is coming for them all the same.
And then there are a few companies I've met recently who are *amazingly* leaned in to AI adoption. One category-leader company just cancelled IntelliJ for a thousand engineers. That's an incredibly bold move, one of many they're making towards agentic adoption. In my opinion, that company is setting themselves up for a _huge_ W.
As for the rest, well, it's the Great Siloing. Everyone's flying blind. With nobody moving companies, no company knows where they stand on the AI adoption curve. Nobody knows how they're doing compared to everyone else.
Half of them just check a box: "We enabled {Copilot/Cursor} for everyone!" Cue smug celebrations. They think this is like getting SOC2 compliance, just a thing they turn on and now it's "solved." And they don't realize that they've done effectively nothing at all.
All because of a hiring freeze.
