Gorgeous weather in the Bay Area these days. Good fun catching up with the incredible Thomas Wolf, cofounder and CSO at HuggingFace!
And we moved fast to become co-investors in a company already :-)

underrated thing about being >30yo is you start to see compounded outcomes differentiate in your friend group
career: people who grinded at a law firm for years become partners and make millions / yr. same w/ doctors
health: people who wear sunscren religiously have no wrinkles

startup cto when the ceo hits the prospect with "oh yeah we've been working on that and were planning to release it next week"
☔@Whotfismick
When your boss says "we'll get it done somehow" and you realize you're the somehow

@dazzeloid feel like office hours are even more helpful in this period

me when suddenly all w26 companies are fundraising and no one wants to do office hours anymore

seeing YC founders experience the first check feeling is beautiful
one of my favorite parts of working at YC so far

have been wearing @fortwearable for the past few months. now lifting without it feels like running without a heart rate monitor.
so insane to be able to track minimal effective dose per muscle group.

Autonomous fleets can drive themselves, but they can’t operate themselves.
RoboDock builds robots that automate operations in AV depots, starting with charging and vehicle inspections.
Congrats on the launch, @nicenewgal and Zinny!

AWS for harness engineering. I keep seeing "agent harnesses are the new infra layer", and this is the first product I've seen that makes developing/iterating/hosting them easy
Y Combinator@ycombinator
Agent apps don’t win on the model, they win on the harness. But creating that harness is painful. @terminaluse is hosting infrastructure for background agents built for iterating: fork filesystems and try multiple agents in parallel. The platform is CLI-first, which allows your coding agents like Claude Code & Codex to help you debug, hypothesize improvements, and analyze outputs. Congrats on the launch @v_raja_, @stavros_fil, and @filbalu! ycombinator.com/launches/PSJ-t…

i fear it is getting divorced to do your startup

.@_hex_security is building AI agents that hack your systems before real attackers do. In weeks, their agents uncovered critical flaws at dozens of unicorns, earning over $250K in bounties. Hex already protects companies processing billions in transactions and millions of user records. Congrats @zer0day, @menace_codes, and @hzzzaifa on the launch! ycombinator.com/launches/POq-h…

Quarterly reminder that you do not need any of these things to apply to YC:
- revenue
- users
- a good name
- a good domain
You only need the fire
