Will be in Bay Area for YC's AI Startup School! Very excited

@dessaigne @garrytan @ycombinator so ends by midnight on the 26th (today)?

Today is the last day to apply to @ycombinator Summer 2026. Applying to YC changed the trajectory of Algolia, and my life. We were two French founders with a search API and a dream. YC gave us the network, the clarity, and the urgency to build something real. If you’re on the fence: just apply. The worst that can happen is you don't get in. The best? Everything changes. 👉 ycombinator.com/apply

@michaelzixizhou @ycombinator @zfellows congrats !!

I got into @ycombinator S26! The past 6 months have felt like 2 years: - Turned down 7-figure new grad offers at top companies - Bootstrapped until my bank account hit zero - Pivoted 5 times, and did door-to-door sales for a couple of months - Joined @zfellows and flew out to SF last month - Cancelled my return flight to Toronto - Had wonderful neighbours I'd just met crowd-fund my apartment deposit - Got the call from @aroraharshita33 6 hours after my YC interview ...all without telling my mom. Codag is the crystallization of everything I picked up across infrastructure, systems, and platform engineering. Our thesis is that within two years, agents will be the primary consumer of logs, and soon the primary producer of them. Today's observability stack and dashboards were built for humans to look at. Agents are a different reader entirely, and the infrastructure for understanding systems at scale has to be rebuilt for them. That is what we're building. We start with log compression: turning millions of lines into a compact, cited capsule an agent can actually read, so it stops drowning and starts debugging. I cannot believe I get to work on this full time - I wake up every day looking forward to building more. To everyone who made it real: @carterkev, @cory, @aroraharshita33, @amiklas, @nemild for taking the bet, the neighbours who backed a stranger with a laptop, and the countless friends that support me. Thank you. We just published an open source CLI and algorithm for log compression, fully free at codag.ai. If your agent debugs production, I'd love for you to try it, or just to talk. Got a lot more coming soon, and most of it will be open source. Now I should probably call my mom 😰

@samlambert @fatih @hiradp hahahahaha

@fatih @hiradp if he keeps up with them we will be sending him to turkey

I’m back home after an amazing two weeks in SF. It’s been almost 5.5 years since I left the Bay Area. I tried to meet with almost all my friends, but still couldn’t make it with some. The vibe in SF is real. Also Labs are indeed dominating almost every conversation. Feels surreal to be surrounded by people who just love doing things. Also real engineers still think about how to efficiently use LLM’s and not just doing tokenmaxxing for the vibe. Probably will the miss the conversations the most. I’ve also met some of my new coworkers for the first time, seeing them in person makes everything better. I had tons of American/SF food. The Bird’s Spicy Fried chicken was just how I left it the last time I had. Blue Bottle is becoming kinda the new Starbucks, so I also seen people choosing other alternatives, but it’s still fully packed and I still like their espresso blend. But Paper Son Coffee and Saint Frank were my two favorites.

heading to San Francisco for @ycombinator's Startup School. out of 30,000+ applicants, honored to be among those selected. looking forward to learning from incredible founders and the YC team. if you're in SF that weekend, let's meet up! ☕

@haskologlu @FranceenTurquie sen nasıl bir kralsın amk ya

Siz muhattap alınacak bir kurum değilsiniz. Sizinle ilgili tüm iddiaları ülkenizdeki basın kuruşlarına bugün ileteceğim. Onlara da ağlarsınız lütfen silin diye. Büyükelçiniz Antalya’ya gideceğine önce yerinde oturup sorunları çözsün. Beni de her denileni yapanlarla karıştırmayın. Sürecin sonunda görüşeceğiz.

İbrahim Haskoloğlu, vize konusu ve Fransa Büyükelçiliği bünyesinde sözde bir vize dolandırıcılığı ile ilgili yaptığı paylaşımların ardından Büyükelçiliğimiz ile görüşmüştür. Bu konuda herhangi bir kanıt sunmadığı için kendisinden iddialarını geri çekmesi istenmiş ve bu 1/2
