Submitting to the App Store sucks. It's like filing your taxes by hand. So we just launched a single publish button. It's like turbo tax but for vibe coding.
my days are increasingly babysitting agents. it's like slack but on steroids
Steven got this role by @'ing me on X Did great work, fast. Shoot your shot.
Did one small stint as an AI QA tester with @dhruvtruth Great experience TBH And I think, I ended up learning more from the job 😄 Prompt engineering skills just upped in 2 weeks
I will never get over you can now just talk at a machine and create software It's magic We're all fighting over the best way to create that software But we've entered the recursive loop. The tools get better and the software gets better
background agents becoming so cheap you use them as slot machines try four, continue from the best, throw the others away
Becoming an RL diehard in the past year and thinking about RL for most of my waking hours inadvertently taught me an important lesson about how to live my own life. One of the big concepts in RL is that you always want to be “on-policy”: instead of mimicking other people’s…

that's bait
PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.
Funnily enough, Soham was our first engineering hire in 2022 Really smart and likable; enjoyed working with him We realized pretty quickly that he was working at multiple companies and let him go I can’t imagine the amount of equity he’s left on the table

the browser really does disintermediate huh tried dia and feel my chatgpt sessions down
all the alpha is in how your ux lets the models do magic for people
I really like the term “context engineering” over prompt engineering. It describes the core skill better: the art of providing all the context for the task to be plausibly solvable by the LLM.
