2024: a yc application and a thesis few people were excited about today: - $15m series a - notion, xero, and some of the world's biggest media companies and storefronts trust us with every release - grew from 2 people to 16 - 1,000x more test volume than a year ago - shipped web, android, ios + free self-serve 2 years ago i was burning four hours every thursday manually testing releases, telling myself there had to be a better way this june our agents analyzed 62,052 test failures that's 2,000+ hours nobody had to waste, and a lot of bugs your users never met some mornings i just sit there like… how is this real lol if you're building right now, go chase the problem everyone else already made peace with the fact that nobody's excited about it yet is usually why it might just work out

THE CRISIS BEHIND THE HOUSING CRISIS In today's NYT piece, I wrote about how the housing fight is both about housing *and* retirement. We made the house do two jobs at once, and it's pitting the old against the young.

Upper-middle-class families are in a weird dead zone with college. They make too much to qualify for meaningful financial aid, but not enough to casually write $100,000 checks every year without it completely changing their life. So the kid looks rich on paper, gets little help, and the parents are expected to absorb the cost of a house down payment every single year. College pricing has also obviously become absurd.

Before vibe coding became a thing, programming was already evolving in that direction. It already increasingly consisted of installing and configuring stuff other people wrote, without reading the source.

Traveling with my wife and we’re picking a movie to watch together. She wants to watch Devil Wears Prada 2 but I’m really interested in seeing Zoho CRM, the CRM for Everyone.

best of luck @t_blom! if you hadn't been at yc, hyperspell wouldn't be where we are today 🙏 honestly company brains might not be a category without you congrats to anthropic on getting one of the best of the best
Tom Blomfield@t_blom

Personal update: I'm taking a leave of absence from YC to join Anthropic. I'll be working with @NotTomBrown on the compute team. Powerful AI has the potential to improve the life of every human on earth and, as we enter the early stages of recursive self-improvement, availability of compute becomes one of the most important issues to solve. I'm excited to get started 🚀

On the complaint that Nolan and Wilson's Odysseys sound "too modern": Everybody is going to have their own preferences, and there's no accounting for taste, but one of Emily Wilson's best points about modern expectations of ancient stories is that we want all of antiquity to sound like Shakespeare, but the Odyssey was composed ~3,000 years ago, while Hamlet is just 400 years old. We are much, much, much closer to Shakespeare than Shakespeare was to Homer.
Global Box Office@GlobalBoxOffice

Our ★★★★★ review of THE ODYSSEY, While Nolan’s screenplay is certainly not the most accurate to its source material, it captures the soul of Homer’s tale, outstandingly translating into images the most magnificent comeback story ever told.

“The real challenge, then, isn’t whether the United States or China will build an overwhelming, insurmountable advantage over the other. It’s whether either can figure out how to realize the benefits of A.I. without ripping apart its social fabric. Neither has found the answer yet.” A good articulation of where we are and challenges ahead on AI policy from @ericschmidt and @selinaxuxinyue nytimes.com/2026/07/11/opi…

True. But the whole joke about Frasier on Cheers is that he’s a snob. There was no expectation anyone would have read Edmond Rostand and a couple years before there was a huge Steve Martin film based on Cyrano, “Roxanne” which introduced the drama to the zeitgeist. Cheers was a thoroughly middle-class show where the intellectuals Frasier and Diane were the frequent butt of jokes. I find the class politics of Cheers super interesting.

There’s an episode from Cheers where Frasier and another guy are quoting from Richard II and Cyrano de Bergerac. 34 million Americans watched this episode.

I believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books and movies at different stages of your life. the plot never changes, but your perspective does.

Ten years ago you could make jokes about Jane Eyre and Dracula on twitter and most people would get them; nowadays I have to explain references to Alice in Wonderland and The Hobbit as if we’re living in a very on-the-nose film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451.

Ayn Rand's villains seemed like cartoon caricatures when I was 16. Pretty unbelievable. As an adult, I now realize they were the most realistic aspect of her writing. And of course it was. She was writing from experience, having grown up in the USSR.
Alex Finn@AlexFinn

Something strange has happened over the last 10 years When I was a kid, every tech publication (Wired, TechCrunch, Engadget) truly loved and celebrated technology Over the last 10 years they all collectively decided they absolutely LOATHE technology. Every article is a hit piece. Every entrepreneur and creative thinker is being destroyed. The greatest inventors of our lives are being villainized. A lot of people are saying it’s because we live in a clickbait culture and hate is what drive clicks, but I don’t buy it If hate drove clicks all of these publications would be thriving. Instead, they’re all failing, going bankrupt, laying people off and on top of that I literally can’t name a single person who reads any of them There is a such a massive opportunity right now for anyone who’s willing to start a tech publication that actually celebrates and loves technology. I’m DYING for a version of Wired that actually covers real tech with an optimistic lens, and I know many other are too. Might have to f around and do this myself.
