I messed up. At our YC afterparty, we offered free tattoos and said we’d be happy to interview anyone who got one. What I thought would be a fun, memorable way to meet people was, in reality, reckless, and instead came across as tying a permanent tattoo to job opportunity, which showed poor judgement. Even though participants chose their own tattoos and no one was asked to get our logo, I should have understood the pressure and power dynamic created by connecting tattoos to hiring. Regardless of said intent, turning a celebration of personalized art into a company stunt was poorly exercised judgement. We’ve taken the posts down and have spoken to everyone who participated. We’re also ready to cover associated removal costs with anyone facing any delayed regret. I’m sorry to the people we put in that position, and to everyone who expected better from me. There’s no clever explanation here. I got carried away, and I was wrong. For the facts: interviews were available to everyone regardless.

@philbog yeah you’re insane for that sure

@treejordan yeah can I crash tomorrow-Sunday?

don’t forget to pet your robot friends

@ShubhamInTech big moves

Introducing Agnost AI (YC S26): Product Analytics for AI Agents. Analytics was never built for chat & voice. And that is the new interface. Your users' hidden feature requests, bugs & churn hide in conversations with your agent. Analyzing 1M+ daily. Yours are still unread.

@alexisohanian i knew a kid who ate a lightbulb once

Want to start a company? Great. Get an appetite for glass. You’re gonna chew it every day.

@kushagrchitkar this is everything

Introducing CodeAlmanac, the context layer for your engineering team. For years, critical codebase knowledge has lived across people, docs, and old conversations. Agents start from scratch every time. That era is over. CodeAlmanac let’s you make a shared wiki for your entire engineering team, and give the entire product context to each agent on the team, making it the 10x engineer. One command to install. Open source.

yeah, but can fable do this?

@TracerML holy shit

Today, we’re introducing Echo: one adaptive model built entirely from a pool of open-weight models. On our first internal task mix, Echo reached Fable-level results at roughly 1/3 of the total inference cost. Try it: echo.tracerml.ai

the office security camera is picking up ghosts

@chrislevan24 so basically we

pitch your company in 3 words.

@kushagrchitkar that’s the beauty

@dani__munoz linkedin games? i just call it cold outbound

another day of being the first person at the office just so I can play the linkedin games without anyone interrupting me #priorities

@MemoryLaneCN are there medical metrics backing your solution specifically (as in is it proven, by what %, to help)?

There's 10 days left to apply to YC. If you're thinking about applying, do it. If you want feedback, drop one sentence sharing what you're working on below, I'm giving feedback to every single person.

@anieasyy Are the current downloads teams? What's the breakdown of % of solo users vs team users?

@treejordan Teams, forgotten context as a problem is a lot more amplified with multiple contributors

@navaneethvb I need more context on the industry - how long is this process taking right now and what’s the scored outcome if there is one vs your tool?

@treejordan We help teams train custom AI models cheaper and much faster by automating the entire pipeline from data pre (labelling excluded) to training to evaluation.

@anieasyy To teams or individual devs? Who is the first who is going to pay?

@treejordan Building a shared context layer for dev teams, 700+ on Discord and 300+ stars in under a month. Solving dev’s being blocked if not given context on how things work if they haven’t built it. Github: github.com/Autoloops/grep…
