I just spoke with a founder who is buying several factories. The first thing he wants to do is rip out Salesforce, Oracle and SAP, for which they’re paying a combined $1m per month. If you have experience with this please DM!

@koomen Give me a couple of months. Or a couple of mil and I’ll get it done in a couple of weeks.

@koomen The first thing the new owners are planning is taking that pesky fence down.

an IOI 2x gold medalist, a Navy explosive ordnance officer, and a 17 y/o intern at Coinbase walked into Chase Center last weekend... ...and I interviewed all of them. I found 12 of the most ambitious builders and founders at YC Startup School, out of over 6,000 people. from all over the world, all with the same energy: earnest, creative, resourceful - including one who built a rocket out of salad bowls. PS: you can still apply late to YC F26. 00:00 — Intro 00:28 — Meet the founders and builders 02:01 — What they’re building 09:17 — Should you go to college? 10:46 — Why they started 11:58 — Advice and what’s next

@koomen this sounds insane why rip them out? as opposed to building a layer on top that can work with Salesforce/Oracle/SAP?

@NicolasBuilds @garrytan I think this is almost certainly a factor. However, gstack launched after most of the P26 batch had been accepted so its effect would only be visible in S26 and F26, long after the trend started.

The percentage of YC applications containing the word "wedge" went from <1% in spring 25 to >20% in summer 26

@theo A week of reading applications and thinking "back in my day (one year ago) founders didn't talk like this"

@koomen Fascinating. I wonder if this is helping to inform hypothesized GTM. Like, the founder wasn’t thinking about a product wedge - and then the model guided them in that direction.

@Kazanjy I think it's mostly a product of founders using LLMs for help with writing. Opus seems to love that word for some reason.

@koomen Are you viewing this as a good or bad thing? Founders learning staged business models is probably better than trying to boil the ocean!

@nichochar "delve" spiked in w24 and has since returned to pre-gpt4 levels. For all the attention it got the spike is relatively small!

@Zach_Kamran i had the same thought! I (claude&codex) did some rough analysis and you can clearly see the different eras in tech represented in the language founders use in their apps. will have to do a longer writeup at some point..

@koomen It would be really interesting to see a chart of words that have changed most in terms of frequency

@morajabi emdashes started growing in 23 and really hit their stride in 24. Interestingly, space-emdash-space spiked in S25, just like "wedge", coinciding with the first opus launch in the spring of 25

It autonomously built and deployed this with a public link that you can share: - …4e-77c96774dcd9.apps.smolmachines.com I think the YC team here is working on an interesting open source agentic dev environment:
