Another take on YCSE? Yep, we can’t stop thinking about it either.
It exposes an uncomfortable truth: the low-grade anxiety we accept as normal, just trying to parse what people, companies & everyone in between are actually telling us.

Credit costs shouldn’t be a surprise. But ~half of surveyed CC users said interest or fees made holiday shopping cost more than expected.
Hint: we think there’s a better way to pay. And that includes no late fees or compounding interest.

“It pays to use a product that has your best interests in mind as a consumer, and I think retailers big and small are realizing that everywhere.” -@mlevchin
Max Levchin, founder and CEO of Affirm Holdings, says the company is seeing no slowdown in demand from consumers or retailers, despite concerns about squeezed household budgets and a challenging consumer-spending outlook https://t.co/T84CqZktsm
@LokiUndead Hey there! We're sorry to hear that. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our team at [email protected]. Our team will be happy to help here.
AI makes prototyping easier, but shipping something useful still takes a team. Lessons from our tech team’s PredictPay journey:
- Give ideas a path to production
- Bring every discipline in early
- Make progress testable
- Improve the model and system together
AI makes building easier. Turning an idea into a production system and improving it still takes a strong team working closely together.
PredictPay, our in-house payment risk model, went from “would be cool if it works” to “it works, and it works really well” through demos, thoughtful scoping, AI & ML explainability, production experiments, and many iterations. We’re sharing the full zero-to-v2 journey in the hope that it inspires more people to bring forward an idea and find great people to build it with.
Proud to share the journey with Kyle Gahagan, Skylar Gao, Ross Briden, Patrick Holloran, Fabio Sammarco and everyone across Engineering, Analytics, and Product @affirm who made it possible!

"The grownup way to buy things that matter to you." That's how @mlevchin describes Affirm and what led to our new partnership with @CrateandBarrel. Watch on @FoxBusiness with @LizClaman: https://t.co/gziyNhHWns
In her first year in Affirm’s Early Career Program, Claire Yang found that AI helped her build faster, but she wanted to ensure she was still developing scalable engineering judgement. She writes candidly about finding the balance: https://t.co/AmJfj2ZCdu
