@bindra_dhruv @zamana_hq All the bestt!

This is why I’ve been hiding from the internet for 2 years…

@contextkingceo Lovee the video!

We've raised $6.5M to kill vector databases. Every system today retrieves context the same way: vector search that stores everything as flat embeddings and returns whatever "feels" closest. Similar, sure. Relevant? Almost never. Embeddings can’t tell a Q3 renewal clause from a Q1 termination notice if the language is close enough. A friend of mine asked his AI about a contract last week, and it returned a detailed, perfectly crafted answer pulled from a completely different client’s file. Once you’re dealing with 10M+ documents, these mix-ups happen all the time. VectorDB accuracy goes to shit. We built @hydra_db for exactly this. HydraDB builds an ontology-first context graph over your data, maps relationships between entities, understands the 'why' behind documents, and tracks how information evolves over time. So when you ask about 'Apple,' it knows you mean the company you're serving as a customer. Not the fruit. Even when a vector DB's similarity score says 0.94. More below ⬇️

@sakshiisahu nothing can destroy you

this work week destroyed me completely

YC just added a new application question: 👉 Share your best AI session to judge your prompt thinking. @aman_jaiinn made a Session Scorer that reviews your claude session on 8 parameters and give you feedback to improve. do give it a try!

@aman_jaiinn So coool

built a claude plugin that reads your claude code sessions and scores them across 8 dimensions prompt clarity, iteration speed, architecture thinking, debug strategy, human judgment, scope control, context management, and tool leverage for each dimension it gives you a specific recommendation on how to improve ran it on my own sessions and found some really useful patterns. run the following commands in your claude to analyze your sessions: /plugin marketplace add aman863/claude-scorecard /plugin install claude-scorecard@claude-scorecard /claude-scorecard do share any interesting recommendation you got

everybody should watch this series at least once. highly recommended.

@maitreya_wagh hahhahaha too funny

A friend who had asked me for a YC referral just called and begged me to rescind it because someone told them that referrals only hold value when they come from “super successful YC companies”……

mantra for next few years :)

@shubh_saras looks awesomee

Raccoon AI 1.1 is the biggest update we have shipped so far. This is the one agent that runs in the web with zero setup, and can handle pretty much anything you throw at it.

@YajasSardana love it!!

loved how clawdbot just rode on the popularity of claude code. crazy name selection and distribution :)

@prachiruns can I ask you few questions around it?

@Nihalgoyal3 Coros!

Ran 12K this morning at 5 AM. Thought about client timelines the whole time. Here's the thing about pacing: I've seen a lot of agencies and designers sprint the first project to impress. Burn out by week 2. Can't sustain quality. Client doesn't renew. We learned from ultras: pace for distance. VC fund: 1-month engagement turned strategic partnership. Ampcera: Started with a website project, retained for 10 months. 2+ long-term clients this year alone. Sustainable timelines = sustainable relationships. That's the difference between a project and a partnership.

@deepigoyal thanks for inspiring!

An important update on leadership changes at Eternal.

recently read Unseen to read the complete story behind this journey. mad respect for him. excited to see what comes in LAT (love the idea) and Temple.

@TheIshanGoswami @RustyRishii superhuman xD

@Nihalgoyal3 @RustyRishii i skip breakfast and lunch

controversial but skipping lunch is the best way to boost my productivity and be in a calorie deficit.

@RustyRishii tried skipping breakfast earlier, didn't work well

@Nihalgoyal3 I usually skip breakfast. and eat only lunch and dinner. Sometimes fruits as snacks in the evening.
