Hiring sucks ... well it used to.

@UseLitmus is now live, backed by @ycombinator.

A few months ago, engineers reviewed every PR our agents produced and 80% required more work.

Today, engineers only review code for 20% of tasks our agents generate. Only 10% of those require actual changes.

We realized that great engineers now no longer build the product, they build the system that builds the product. That’s a much harder but more leveraged problem to be solving.

And it freed up the rest of our team ti also ship code.

Every non technical person is expected to ship and make changes.

When we first started building @spurtest_ , the office was just a couple of laptops a kitchen table. A lot of late nights, duct-taped code, and a vision we were not sure anyone else would see.

Fast forward to last week, standing in our new space in New York, and it hit me how far we have come. The room was buzzing with energy, with teammates swapping stories, customers sharing feedback, and friends cheering us on. It felt like the product and the people behind it had all grown together.
What excites me most is that this new office is not just more square footage. It is a sign of what is ahead: bigger problems to solve, more experiments to run, and more opportunities to build something that really matters.

I am grateful to everyone who has believed in us from the start, and even more excited about what we will create next. Here is to the journey forward 💙.

@dhaber Great post, context brings defensibility by providing the best experience and integrations along with tech for the customer. In another world, the “domain expert” would have been said customer ;)

@balajis Great idea, take this a step further and make your lawyers use AI built for legal work with Vecflow (https://t.co/bLaujbfkvy)

[Sneha Sivakumar @sneha8sivakumar]

We're excited to share that @spurtest_ has raised $4.5M, led by @firstround to allow teams to own high quality testing

We've partnered with some of the most customer centric companies like @wander @ycombinator @LivingSpaces @flynorse to deliver the best user experiences

[Sneha Sivakumar @sneha8sivakumar]

If only @OpenAI was using @spur_dev this could have been prevented 🫡

[Vals AI @ValsAI]

We had the chance to sit down with @twbueler and Joe, the leaders behind VecFlow who build the AI copilot, Oliver. They share their perspective on DeepSeek, developing with agents, and the future of legal AI:

[Sneha Sivakumar @sneha8sivakumar]

Just had 20+ sales calls this week and keep hearing "Found you through Lightcone!" 🤯 From being in @ycombinator to @spur_dev being mentioned in pods that shaped my founder journey. Absolutely wild! 🚀

Why YC means everything to me & you should definitely apply to the upcoming X25 Batch 🧡

[Rutvik Rau @RauRutvik]

@martymadrid I would have to https://t.co/jASpcmsjWT with that

📣 Huge update — I’ve started a new company!

After 4 years at Ramp, I’ve started something new (and we're hiring). The past few years were incredible - being a part of the rocket ship on a ~15 person engineering team to an 1000+ person org, and growing from 100s of customers to 25,000+. The talent, ambition, and teamwork I experienced have set the bar for what greatness looks like—I’m excited to keep that standard into building this new team.

Much more to come on the new company soon — but here’s a preview: Ryan Daniels + I already working with our first partners, saving our customers millions of dollars in legal costs, and there’s a ton of demand to keep up with.
Long term: we’re tackling a massive vertical opportunity worth over $200B, leveraging AI to make a real impact.

We’re growing the early engineering team. If you’re passionate about transforming legal with AI, I’d love to connect! Referrals welcome too!

“Alright, the tests are picking up steam. This is pretty dang good. By god! It’s alive! It’s alive!”

From one of our customers on just Day 2 of using @spur_dev 🫡✨

It’s magical!
