What did you get done this week?

rust is not well represented in the training data of the current SOTA models but i am becoming increasingly convinced it is the optimal language for models to write in and most importantly get to feedback from the compiler. in many ways, it was designed perfectly for it.

Thursday beers. Bosh❤️

summer is 1/4 of the year you can spend it at an internship with the best FAANG or you can take a break & relax while the best time to build something life changing slips away 10 startups (amazon, stripe, airbnb) we’re all started in the summer by college kids & drop outs who we’re building out of dorm rooms & garages. so we don’t think there’s a better time to start than right now 06.23.25 we’re launching a residency for students, drop outs & recent grads you’ll have 6 weeks working w/ experienced founders out of our San Francisco campus > free lunch everyday > $20,000 in perks & credits > a desk next to 50 founders like you > 40,000 sq/ft campus > hardware lab, gym, gaming room, fat GPUs & everything you need to lock in & up to $250,000 in funding at the end 48 spots are open, reply with what you want to build & we’ll invite you don’t waste this Summer building anything other than what you want your life to be

Our game is obviously inspired by: - Ultrakill - Boltgun - Halo - Unreal Tournament

PSA for Founders: When you raise your pre-seed, having nothing is better than having something. You don’t want to have traction or a functioning product. It will never be enough. You NEED to have identified a customer pain point in a big market that you deeply understand, demonstrate an unfair right to win in the space & distribute to your customers, and have a founding team so strong even a blind man can see you’re going to be successful. My best companies raise $5m with a 2 person team and a dream and then transmute that into millions of dollars of revenue and breakneck growth in 6 months. I’d rather bet on that happening for the 20th time than a guy who’s been working on his company for a year with $100k ARR and a 20% quarterly revenue growth ramp.
