At scale, all B2B products converge. It’s reports, alerts, workflow, permissions and approvals all the way down.
In B2B “build something people want” often turns into “build all the custom reports that Jerry on the finance team at {customer} thinks he wants”

Oh, so we're just going to ignore Rippling's advances in quantum payroll here?
In Silicon Valley almost nobody talks about quantum computing. In Washington DC it comes up all the time. What to make of this?
I'm not a fan of Trump or tariffs, but this seems like a very smart move by the Trump administration:
The YC part is lowkey a bigger mic drop than the $16.8 billion part
The data is clear: companies using Rippling maintain about half the G&A headcount of those using anything else. For early-stage startups, that translates directly to more time spent on building instead of on back-office work.
Our founder @parkerconrad is known for his candor: "Whenever founders ask for my advice, I tell them: 'Don't start a company. It's a terrible idea.' The journey is soul-crushing and harder than most people realize." But if you're already on this path, the last thing you need is…
Toku has been involved in a legal dispute which has recently been made public. Court filings detail that the CEOs of Deel and Liquifi conspired to “crush Toku” in a scheme involving multiple spies and the theft of over 25,000 confidential documents.
TIL: "A large-scale playroll engine to process payroll on a global scale ... likely cannot actually be built without significant advances in ..." *checks notes* "... quantum computing."
Wait, WTF? Deel is claiming you need quantum computers to run payroll...
