@johnyang100 raising off our anthropic citation was a trip transformer-circuits.pub/2025/july-upda…

@rackSpreader1 put me on rackSpreader1

ok why am i getting so many followers and dms wtf

@djcows desperate mf sitting here waiting

my timeline has become too political, please don't mind if i post a few trillion dollar startup ideas to reset

dating app that has your message context and dates other agents for extremely optimized compatibility with everyone on the app who says no?

@mskoriwilson free will was a good gen z motion

The best way to build a life you're proud of is to stop waiting for permission.

@MaxMynter machine learning is just data science ml is so sexy fuh

What happened to data scientist being the sexiest job of the 21st century?

@olegakbarov the fun part of vibe coding is that the ui and shit actually looks so cool to us nerds

my physics textbook in college was great but lacked interactive examples, catching up now

@Prathkum i got drunk on my 21st birthday and put 2000 git commits on my 2024 git history was more like 400

AI killed the illusion that a big commit history means you are a good engineer.

@rackSpreader1 i put real pants on at 3:30pm today

whats the dress attire for startups?

@peter_ishere @Tristanrhee3 the fun part is that some people's attention and thus output was tailored more to the old type of thinking i was always more of a speed reading scatterbrain and so ai felt right

@Tristanrhee3 Using ai needs a different type of thinking, like explaining something to a toddler with super-speed

most founders using AI stopped thinking and didn't even notice

@jesse_vermeulen holy lock in sell this to me

finally cracked the code for liquid glass on the web

@kirillfbc Let's! building maingen.ai for ycs26

looking to connect with people on X if you’re into: AI agents building products open source content systems YouTube growth Web3 & TON shipping fast sharing what works currently building: Want2View (content research) Atlas Repo (open source discovery) FabricBot (Telegram payments & referrals) say hi and tell me what you’re working on 👋 always looking for builders to learn from

@curlysaarthak generally this gets you into more complex problems with more money or you can found and be broke

best career advice I can give: work on insanely complex problems even if its an underpaid job

@ishaansehgal exactly which companies are you suggesting to avoid?

building your company on an AI model that secretly evaluates your prompts and silently nerfs your outputs is a total loss of trust and a massive single point of failure

@annieqyang i hardspecced my neovim AFTER cursor was solid the balls on me man

I miss going to my coding editor and actually typing out code.

@KlausCodes managing people must be easier taking frustrations out on agents all day my co-founder curses at his models despite it only functionally burning through our yc deal tokens but he's happy idk

Engineering is more about architecting agents now And honestly I don’t complain, it’s fun

@josssiiiah reading code is disincentivized and sometimes even shipping product is too (market proof comes in many forms)

To be clear, this isn’t meant to be a dig, just musings about how the process incentivizes a particular set of skills

I wonder how many YC founders could pass a basic system design interview

i spent my last semester in SF moving everything class related to virtual

@josssiiiah i never learned to code in basic once you're a yc founder you see everyone else is behind the times for sure

@SamuelRSolomon @jenny_wen people tend to forget that bad functionality existed before vibe coding now the limit is the amount of testing

@jenny_wen There's a lot of bad software out there. In the age of AI there's no real excuse for it.

these days, i find myself getting super frustrated at software i know was made by humans, but that i know AI could have done a better job of.

@thejustinguo second yerba buena island

new startup idea: san francisco without SOMA
