@ShaperofCulture There are some elderlies tho that can be actionable too. But I hate conversations like this
Its a waste of the little energy i have left after experiencing nigeria daily

I’m currently in a meeting full of elderlies. It is interesting to me how they generally talk around a matter. They don’t talk on it to address it and highlight actionable steps needed to solve that matter. No. They instead dance around it.
Anyways, e don tire me. I’m craving

Anthropic engineer:
"You're not supposed to babysit the model. Put it in a graph, and it catches its own mistakes and runs a dozen tasks at once."
In 25 minutes he breaks down exactly how Anthropic builds agents that run in parallel, check each other's work, and recover when one fails.
Worth more than any paid course you'll find on building agents.
Watch it, then read detailed guide on graph engineering below.

We removed ~80% of the Claude Code system prompt for our newest models, this is what we've learned about writing system prompts, skills and Claude.MDs for them. x.com/i/article/2080…

I was there 😅
I was quite double minded if I wanted to fly from Nigeria for this event but I think it was easily the best event I've attended in the last decade. Firstly, I think when I listened to founders ideas, I saw that I was way less ambitious which means it'll be worse if I sit with an SF founder just like @dessaigne has said before.
And to cap it all, I met a doctor who requested we come try @pisgah_ai in some of his partner hospitals in France. Beyond all these, listening to @t_blom and @greybaker was a peculiar moment especially because Monzo was one company I loved in my early career but I just could not get in 😂; I said well, it's been five years since I last attempted to join but at least I got to chat with Tom today😂

Supabase (YC S20) is one of the fastest-growing developer platforms in the world, with more than 10 million developers using it. As AI coding agents like Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and Codex have taken off, they've become the backend powering millions of AI-generated apps. At Startup School Paris, @Supabase co-founder and CEO Paul Copplestone (@kiwicopple) sat down with YC's @dessaigne to discuss why AI coding agents have changed the way developers build software, how open source helped Supabase compete with the cloud giants, and why the next frontier is self-driving databases. 00:56 — Paul's Origin Story 02:13 — Two Failed Startups First 04:12 — Why Postgres?

@Scobleizer @paularambles @maticrobots @pisgah_ai Hey @Scobleizer I have sent a dm; would love to chat when you have the time. Thanks 🙏
English
@Scobleizer @paularambles @maticrobots Wow, looks like many great products were launched in your home 😅; from Siri to many others and now this.
I should probably launch @pisgah_ai there too 🙏; that may just be the secret sauce to explosive growth 😂 (of course you get lifetime discount😎)

Maybe it’s too early to say but everytime I write a line of code or leave my home to a hospital on @pisgah_ai, I always get more excited to have this run as my life’s work and my tiny contribution to the continent and the world obvs

A startup doesn't have to be your life's work, but if it is, you become much harder to defeat. You play the long game and you outlast everyone. Because practically everyone else is an opportunist by comparison.

Fable just found a 15-30% memory efficiency improvement in Turbopack / Next.js, nearly autonomously.
@tobi asked me today: what have been your “holy s***” moments with AI?
My answer was: it’s every single week. And it’s accelerating. In fact, “WTFs/day” might just be my favorite metric for AI progress.
It’s one thing to read benchmarks or stories online. It’s another to watch these machines pull engineering feats every day.
3 days ago? Sol helped us find novel vulnerabilities in some of the most audited code in the world. Today? Fable helps us ship this large optimization of a very complex Rust codebase. I just saw some results of work we’ve done to shrink binaries by 10-20x. List goes on.

Hey @Tesla_Optimus you must admit: the bar keeps getting raised every month. Er, week.
That thing about exponents is on my mind.
Very hard to catch and gets worse with each double. So rewards fast, and correct, decisions. A new kind of AI maybe? @blevlabs just told me that he thinks he has something that gives an advantage. Will see. But he is winning a lot of people over. More news is his to tell, but he was in a great mood Friday night.
He was the second 21-year old I spent a lot of time with. Another was at Dimensional’s open house.
These people are so alive. And can learn so fast. And if you ever get to look into genius young eyes you will see the future is pretty cool indeed.

Customers always love to be petted😅. Today, I spent time with lab scientists in a prime hospital.
First, they were all "cagey", then I decided to make some jokes, order food and mehn😂 they talked to me for 2hrs with so much enthusiasm to see @pisgah_ai solve their issues.

Almost 60 years after the end of Nigeria's civil war, two former adversaries meet for the first time. One was a Nigerian army officer, the other a Biafran corporal. The men met as survivors with a message for the younger generation of Nigerians.

@samuelarogbonlo Yes o. I have a lot to say about him sef. I’m sure you’d like to hear it. 😹

This is truly good. I was afraid it would look very "AI-sloppy," but I tested it on an application, and the @paulg brain suggestions are very natural and incredible.

Founders: I built you a YC application reviewing agent with @hyperagentapp. Hyperagent's ability to quickly create agents to do a variety of things is pretty darn cool. This took me 13 minutes start to finish. Thanks to my friend Jeff Stevens who let me run his slide deck through my new agent. In the video below I give you some of my own thoughts about @YCombinator and @paulg and what they look for. I've been following YC since the beginning, was at its first Startup Schools and have interviewed many YC founders over the years. It's all about clarity and traction. Which my new agent will help you with too. It'll review your application and your slide deck and give you feedback about where your company is strong or weak for a YC application. 13 minutes. Nuts. Here's the prompt I used: "Build an agent called Paul Graham Brain, a YC application reviewer. The user pastes in their pitch deck or memo as text. The agent reviews it the way Paul Graham and a Y Combinator partner would, using its knowledge of Paul Graham's essays and strong YC applications as the standard. It rewrites the pitch in his sharper, clearer style, and it scores the application with honest reasons for the score. No external tools or connections needed. The user pastes their pitch, and it returns the rewrite and the score." And in the video here you see how it works.
