Diary of a bootstrapped CEO:

This month we doubled the size of the team! Incredibly exciting and incredibly humbling.

For the first time I’ve really come to realize that to grow a company it needs to grow beyond yourself. That means hiring more talented people than you, that get paid way more than you.

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.

We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

What’s even crazier is realizing that that’s worth it for them

Just learned that Booking Holdings (owner of KAYAK, Priceline etc) spends $5 -7B per year on Google Ads.

That's 2-3% of Google's $250 billion ad revenue.

Crazy numbers

wanna know what makes SF special?

Today I had a meeting at elaichi. While I was waiting apparently there was a YC alum meetup and some guy was late. He asked if I was too, because I was wearing a CarsXE jacket. He started asking me about what we do. It turns out they're in the auto space and they could use our service.

Serendipity…👌

This is so sick!

While we still had Fable, I built this interactive 3D map of the Bay Area with @Levelsfyi compensation data overlaid on top.

You can scroll through the major hubs of the Bay Area and even ride the Caltrain 🚉

lunchflow always an inspiration!

[🚀 @DeenDevelopers]

lunchflow is a proper solo founder story.

amr couldn't connect his bank to his favourite budgeting app. multi-currency, messy spreadsheets, the lot. so he built the fix himself.

now it connects 20,000+ institutions across 40 countries. one guy.

If arteries & veins were bundled in neat parallel cables like the right panel, your body would quickly fail.

That tidy trunk couldn't branch out to perfuse muscles, organs, skin, or limbs—most tissues would starve for oxygen and nutrients. One nick to the bundle = instant widespread damage. Movement would kink or compress it constantly.

The "messy" real network on the left is essential: it reaches every cell with redundancy, local flow control, and resilience. Evolution optimized it for exactly this reason.

Aren’t they one of their investors?

Apple is flat out telling developers to start designing their iPhone apps for widescreen aspect ratios.

This is the biggest hint that iPhone Ultra Fold is coming in September.

is there a website where devs could share email accounts of scammers? these guys abuse your system and then file dispute charges, it's honestly disgusting. I'd be happy to contribute
