we built a working Macintosh from scratch! - 3d-printed case (with the og color) - a fully functional 480x640 raspberry pi - boots up in the style of the original Mac UI - custom packaging & manual let's build more things just for fun in 2025

@lifeoflagan @socraticainfo WOW 🤩

hope y’all enjoyed the food @socraticainfo symposium last night!

@adelwu_ Neighborhood trash pickup! Happens both sat and sun

anyone volunteer regularly in sf? looking for a new place to go

@adelwu_ Would love to join 🥳

i am insanely excited to host this event if you've been wanting to try sohn but can't wait in their long lines, i'm partnering with them to host a late night jazzy coworking session! there will be banana oat matcha/hojicha, tea, coffee, pastries, popcorn chicken, AND outlets for every seat 🤩 this will be a pretty intimate event since space is limited, but if it's popular we'll do it again :) comment if you want to come & i'll dm the link! @reductoai @brickywhat @JaySahnan @browserbase

Hi friends! Big news today: Helicone is joining Mintlify 🚀 3 years ago, we started Helicone out of YC W23 with a simple bet: every hype-cycle has a massive observability market, and we felt like AI was going to be even more prevalent. We knew someone needed to build the platform to ingest and make sense of it all. So we did. Years of grinding and a handful of pivots later, we built something real that customers use every single day. I spent most of that time worried about tomorrow and never really stopped to look back. But looking back now: - 14T+ tokens processed - 30k+ sign ups - 36M+ users tracked - Trending on Github last year (5.2k stars) - $1M+ ARR - Product of the week on Product Hunt That still blows my mind. So why Mintlify? In a post-AGI world, a knowledge infrastructure layer is the thing that makes the most sense for companies to invest in. Waymo didn't reinvent the roads, but still needed to learn about them. Mintlify is the information layer for agents building the systems of the future. The overlap with what we were building at Helicone was obvious. Same world, different angle. More importantly, I actually like the team and the product. That sounds simple but after talking to a dozen companies, it's rarer than you'd think. @handotdev and @hahnbeelee are both incredible and formidable founders that Cole and I really admire. Things I learned building Helicone that I think are underrated - A 5-person team can do an absurd amount if everyone is locked in. Headcount is not a moat. - If you have data at scale and need analytics, just pick ClickHouse. Don't overthink it. - The grind is real, and it's fun. But REALLY try not to be stressed when you aren't grinding. That part took me way too long to learn. - It's never too late to pivot and try new things. - Charge more for your product. What's next I'm going to be leading an engineering team at Mintlify and I'm genuinely excited about what we're building. Keep an eye on my X, because I can't wait to be tweeting about it more. Thanks to @coleywoleyyy for being an incredible co-founder. Thanks to our team, our investors, our customers, and everyone who bet on us early. And thanks to my fiancee for putting up with the chaos of startup life. That part is deeply underappreciated. And lastly, thank you @mintlify for taking a bet on the Helicone team. We are so excited for the next phase. More to come. DMs are open.

@drewwilson @valiocon 🙋🏻‍♀️

Who's ready for @valiocon 2026?! Looking at September 10-12th. Same place as before. Who's down?

@gingerbeardman Next year rawrr

@linathelam I should have bought more pens! MOAR

the stationary haul is japan is justified… right?

@yescynfria >:3

@linathelam For u? Yes

@gizakdag So adorable!! Are these stamps related to the projects?

I’ve started sending my proposals to clients with custom stamps I created in Midjourney.

@justinstorre @coleywoleyyy Change of scenery 🤩

This view is inspirational

@yescynfria My favourite before/after post thus far 🤩

before & after

@xElenaYangx 💛 thank u elena!!

@linathelam So proud of u Lina this is huge!!!

my first speaking event at University of Florida tmr! so grateful for the opportunity, really feels like I have graduated from being a participant to now sharing thoughts about pmf

@getthinkable I will take good care of him!

@linathelam I’m so glad we got a chance to meet. And I’m sooo happy that Thinkable got a new home with a brilliant artist! I’m looking forward to go over some photos and draw them in my sketchbook.

Go to places less traveled, learn their ways, leave with gratitude

@NotoriousUSB Ah thanks brian!

@linathelam this is soooo good!! wow 😍

@getthinkable Thanks for the kind words Sanj! I totally get it, while traveling, i find that sometimes you just want to be present in the moment It’s awesome to see that you’ve filled it up after returning, I hope looking thru everything brought back some really warm memories 💛

@linathelam I ❤️ your art Lina. It’s so beautiful and inspiring!!! This trip I brought a sketchbook with me. Unfortunately I’ve only started to fill it after returning. A way of fusing reflections of visited places.

@NotoriousUSB @forum_tokyo Thank you thank you thank you! Memories that will be remembered and renewed next year!

the hardest part of conferences is always the goodbye. how do strangers spend 3 days together and leave feeling like old friends? the magic of in-person events compresses years of connection into a few days. the insights, conversations, and memories from @forum_tokyo are coming home with us—into our studios, our teams, our cities. until we meet again. 🇯🇵

@CherrilynnZ @joshpuckett so fire 🔥

clade code + dialkit = <3

Something new I've been hacking on: draw directly on your interface and leave annotations that agents can see and understand. Opens up a really natural/freeform way to iterate.
