Trying to build for everyone leads to building for no one.

Leetcode isn't dead?

Interesting race for the best builders to the pick models.

Asked Claude to wire a Raycast hotkey. Apparently this requires working through a complex response ;)

@agent_wrapper but have you tried: a distilled taste spec + your actual takes as raw material + Fable?

Even Fable isn't good enough to write my posts / articles from scratch Since Jan, I have been using agents to write all of my socials content (which has grossed 3 Mil + impressions) But one thing I have always had to do is multiple rounds of feedback, and reviews I thought it might go away with me using fable to write now But it really hasn't AGI isn't here yet

Chatgpt can smile now, whats next?

Genuine question: how are "tinder for X" companies getting funded when tinder is useless for modern dating? As a model it doesn't work, so I can't see what industry actually benefits from copying it.

@boardyai is what @lunchclubai should've been

@CodHeK_ There’s an instagram page for a company that does exactly this with their founders. It’s hilarious!

I wish there was a version of The Office set inside a tech company. It’d be mad chaotic and funny. (no Silicon Valley is different)

@duckle_head Grinding leetcode is the worst. Period.

@paarugsethi Ofc this comes out after I moved out 😬

after two years in BLR, i have made the ultimate “what to do in bangalore” website. 100 of the best spots and activities in the city. check it out at: blr.wiki

@agent_wrapper Congrats Prateek, absolutely fire team!

I am starting something new... as some of you might already know I have always been obsessed with productivity. Whenever I catch myself working in a suboptimal way, doing things manually or in more clicks than necessary, it leaves me with a sense of unease and a strong desire to optimize my setup and build automations At Rippling, I built Slack bot integrations with GitHub and CI that kept developers notified about their ongoing work: CI status, reviews, and merge conflicts. Around the same time, a wave of startups (like Swarmia and Axolo) were being built to solve exactly this. Developers have always been slowed down by context switching & async communication At Databricks, I launched a hackathon project that showcase reduction in cross-team query resolution time, which had been slowing down oncalls. It won the Q4 2024 hackathon by popular vote Back in January last year, I set out to leverage AI to build products faster than was possible before. Shortly after, "vibe coding" gained mainstream popularity. Never would I have imagined shipping at such extreme rates. Shipping 250 PRs and ~100K lines of production code in 80 days sounded bizarre then. Today it is not. Going through that process, I understood the real bottlenecks in agentic engineering far before terminal coding agents had any mainstream adoption As Claude Code started taking off and I started using it, it became obvious that the bottleneck was shifting. From a coding agent's capability to do the work, to the human's ability to manage, babysit, and context-switch between agents. That is what led me to create Agent Orchestrator. We are barely scratching the surface of what is possible with the right interfaces for managing agents and guiding agent swarms to real outcomes With this thesis in mind, I am starting Untrivial (@dowhatsleft) We are a smal team of scrappy, passionate developers obsessed with a single question: how do you create the highest leverage from a human's attention, taste, and judgment to the outcomes they can generate? Every decision we make comes downstream of that question. Working with AI is not about throwing agents at a problem. It is about steering them toward the outcome you want. What sets you apart is grit, and the leverage you create with the systems, agentic and not, that you build. Agent Orchestrator (@aoagents) is core to this thesis. We are building it into the infrastructure layer for all knowledge work, for individuals and enterprises alike. This category is wide open for disruption, with an incredibly high TAM Competing here is not for the faint of heart But if you are deeply passionate about dev tools, or about creating a category-defining product for knowledge workers, I would love to chat My DMs are open. Send me a 3-line resume: your location, the one accomplishment you are most proud of, and what makes you passionate about building for developers. @HSBhandari955, @llmluthor, @battarchicken

@stanine @parkerconrad @Rippling Same day payroll at will? 2022 me would have cried!

We just launched Business Banking* at @Rippling ... it’s going to simplify the daily lives of a lot of people in finance and HR.🧵

@Sylviaposts SF dating as a girl: Is he into me or does he just want a cofounder for his pre-revenue pre-idea startup lol

After a few weeks in SF, I’ve learned that “coffee chat” can mean: fundraising recruiting dating competitive intelligence cofounder search figuring out if you’re useful the scariest part is that they usually don’t tell you which one.

@kaaaash____ Not anymore.

Unpopular opinion : software engineering is the only career where interview is harder than the job.

@praneelmkdir omg where

peak place to burn all of my tokens

@0xPrajwal_ I talk to my 4 users everyday ngl

Vibe coding is crazy, man. Met a 17-year-old who already has 5+ apps. Ignores everyone just to work on them. Pays for both Claude and Codex. Sleeps thinking about features. Wakes up fixing bugs. Launches updates nobody asked for. Refreshes analytics every 10 minutes. Just to have 6 users on the app. 😭 Two of them are his accounts only.

Wild how Dynamic Programming used to be the thing and now it's all just agents.
