Why does the current state of site reliability feels like having two heart attacks a week? Why won’t AI-generated code make it into mission-critical systems? My cofounder, Raj, and I had a lovely time speaking with @BogieBalkansky and @sonyatweetybird on @sequoia's Training Data…
Test, test. Is this thing on? 🎤 Big week at Traversal: we’re officially out of stealth and we’re kicking it off with a feature in @FortuneMagazine! Huge thanks to @agarfinks for sharing our story. But we’re not just telling our story—we’re showing it. See firsthand what we’ve…
Troubleshooting is deeply painful for engineers—and costly for their companies. Team @traversal_ai is using AI agents to automate it. We at @sequoia are proud to support the mission of making life better for engineering teams. sequoiacap.com/article/partne…
ChatGPT was a happy accident. At this year’s AI Ascent, @sama recounted @OpenAI's journey from scrappy research lab to platform company, and laid out a surprisingly specific roadmap for AI's evolution in the next 2-3 years. 👀👇 seq.vc/66p
👀 “Wait… Temporal powers @OpenAI's async workflows?” Yes, really. OpenAI uses Temporal to run complex, multi-step workflows reliably at scale. If they trust us to keep things running, imagine what we can do for you. 👉 t.mp/3Spcq5n

The AI opportunity is massive, but only for those moving fast enough to seize it. @gradypb @sonyatweetybird & @konstantine share their thoughts on the opportunities and challenges in AI today, and why this is the time to "go at maximum velocity” in our 2025 AI Ascent keynote.

Congratulations to both @SocketSecurity and Coana! @ndrssndrgrd, @torp_martin, @amoellercsaudk, and Benjamin Barslev are an exceptional team, and they will continue the mission now with @feross & team.
We just bought a company. Why? Because vulnerability scanning is fundamentally broken. And I’m tired of pretending it’s fine. We acquired Coana, the best reachability analysis engine on the planet. The whole vuln industry is addicted to quantity over quality. More alerts, more…
Congratulations to the Coana team, joining @SocketSecurity 🚀🚀🚀
