@loombotic We’re launching the world’s first quick-turn, high-mix, fully automated wire harness production line.
Our goal is to make wire harnesses as fast and easy to order as PCBs or sheet metal.
Customers can already upload a harness design and get an instant quote. Starting today, these parts can now be produced on our automated line.
We’re starting with Mini-Fit Jr., with more connectors coming soon.

This was a fun conversation with Matt and Eric about design and how they built and rebuilt @triggerdotdev 3x before finding product market fit. Congrats on your Series A, guys!
Y Combinator@ycombinator
Trigger.dev lets developers add AI agents to their products with a simple SDK, handling execution, long-running workflows, and reliability so they don't have to. Over 90% of their usage now comes from agent workflows, and they recently announced their $16M Series A led by Standard Capital. In this episode of Founder Firesides, co-founders @mattaitken and @maverickdotdev sat down with YC's @koomen to talk about three versions of the product before finding product market fit, how building async infrastructure for two years accidentally put them in the perfect position for the agent era, and why they think the future of computing is programmatic checkpoint and restore — freezing and resuming compute on demand.

Introducing the Stage CLI: a better way of reading your AI generated changes via a guided, elegant UI
Our early users begged us for a way to use the Stage chapters experience before they open a PR, so we did
Open source and runs completely locally. Just run /stage-chapters in any coding agent

Sure you can earn a billion dollars. I've been teaching people how to do it for 20 years. The way you do it is to start a company that grows fast. You don't have to do anything bad to make a company grow fast. You just have to make something people want.

AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”

ro khanna’s net worth is north of $100 million (possibly over $200 million) and he’s a sitting member of congress. on what planet is he not “the wealthy and powerful”
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
The wealthy & powerful know that if I succeed they have major issues. They have seen me fight against the Epstein class, for a billionaire tax, against aid to Israel, & against the war in Iran. So they have taken to launching ad hominem attacks on me. I welcome their hatred.

One of the impressive things I've seen Michael do during the batch is iterate on his hardware prototypes as quickly as some founders do with pure software products. Congrats on the launch @michaelblhssn!

I have changed my mind on how AI will impact jobs in America.
Previously, I believed AI would replace many entry level roles typically filled by young employees. The technology would then work its way up the organization and eventually reduce the total number of jobs in a company.
The data is saying something different, so when I get new information I am willing to change my mind.
The number of software engineers being hired has been increasing. The number of open software engineer roles is growing.
The number of new college grads who get hired has increased 5.6% over the last 12 months. The unemployment level for people aged 20-24 years old who have a college degree has fallen from nearly 9% to almost 5% as well.
The Wall Street Journal recently wrote “AI created 640,000 jobs between 2023 and 2025 in the U.S., according to an analysis by LinkedIn of job posting data, including new white-collar positions such as Head of AI and AI engineer.”
And I am starting to see companies throughout our portfolio aggressively hiring to keep up with the demand for their products and services.
If AI can make employees more productive, which is widely accepted as fact, then companies are going to want as many productive units of labor as possible. This is a key reason why I am changing my mind.
AI appears to be a magical technology that will make companies more productive and more profitable. The net result will be more corporations, more startups, and more jobs.
All three are big, positive wins for the American economy.

Introducing Stage, a modern code review platform that you’ll actually want to use.
We got tired of using GitHub to review AI generated code so we rebuilt the review process around the way you already naturally think, letting you ship faster and with more confidence.
Try it out on your next PR and let us know what you think:

Unpopular opinion: AI will not reduce net employment, might actually increase it.
To wit: AI-enabled coding increases Boom’s demand for software engineers. Because AI enables everyone to code, we now need more people to ensure architecture foundation is solid.

Whether design belongs in Figma or Claude Design is a distraction from a bigger shift.
1️⃣ Design will become autonomous. More helpful to think of it as 𝙳𝙴𝚂𝙸𝙶𝙽.𝚖𝚍, used by your coding agents running your software factory.
2️⃣ Specialized “personal” design tools generated by teams will proliferate. Design is a capability, not a tool. I agree with @rsms that there are many facets of design, and multiple tools are required.
I love prompting in @v0 and it’s become the place where I can channel my inspiration, explore, communicate. But I’m also seeing a new generation of products that use the v0 Platform API or Sandbox and put design on autopilot.
There are next-generation agents like @tryflint and trybloom.ai generating design & brand systems and maintaining them autonomously. Flint can even keep your website and content up to date and its design consistent. No human prompting needed.
From this we will see the emergence of fully autonomous companies with agents like nanocorp.so and durable.ai, which go a step further and grow and advertise your business.
tl:dr; The future looks very different from the present. AI is a true discontinuity. The “here’s the existing thing but with AI and ${jobTitle} is cooked” is short-sighted.

Today we're open sourcing open-agents.dev, a reference platform for cloud coding agents. You've heard that companies like Stripe (Minions), Ramp (Inspect), Spotify (Honk), Block (Goose), and others are building their own "AI software factories". Why? 1️⃣ On a technical level, off-the-shelf coding agents don't perform well with huge monorepos, don't have your institutional knowledge, integrations, and custom workflows. 2️⃣ On a business level, the moat of software companies will shift from 'the code they wrote', to the 'means of production' of that code. The alpha is in your factory. Open Agents deploys to our agentic infrastructure: Fluid for running the agent's brain, Workflow for its long-running durability, Sandbox for secure code execution, AI Gateway for multi-model tokens. (Because of our focus on Open SDKs and runtimes, this codebase is a gem even if you're not hosting on Vercel.) TL;DR: if you're building an internal or user-facing agentic coding platform, deploy this: vercel.com/templates/temp…

I want to share some difficult news. I was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and I want you to hear it directly from me.
Treatment is starting immediately and will include multiple strategies over the course of about a year. While I will be stepping back from some of my usual activities, I will continue to support SV Angel founders, who I love with a passion.
SV Angel remains unchanged. Topher has made all of our investment decisions for the better part of the last decade, and Ronny joined as Managing Partner in 2024. They bring experience from nearly every major technology cycle in Silicon Valley and are now focused on partnering with founders building the future of AI. SV Angel has a deep, experienced team that remains fully focused on supporting exceptional founders.
With a more focused and balanced schedule, I can prioritize treatments while helping SV Angel founders at inflection points like we always do!
I’ve chosen not to share the specific type of cancer since I don't want speculation about my prognosis. I appreciate your understanding and respect for this.
I am optimistic about my prognosis. I am fortunate to have the best/amazing team of UCSF doctors in San Francisco, and as you know, I never back down from a fight.
Thank you for your support, it means a great deal to me.
