@KartiPC @NTA_Exams You should also shut down all the shopping malls since there might be a theft in one of them. And close the roads because I heard someone was speeding.

Today is the last day to apply to @ycombinator Summer 2026.

Applying to YC changed the trajectory of Algolia, and my life. We were two French founders with a search API and a dream. YC gave us the network, the clarity, and the urgency to build something real.

If you’re on the fence: just apply. The worst that can happen is you don't get in. The best? Everything changes.

There he said it. Waiting for an essay on crypto as a legit technology from @paulg

[Paul Graham @paulg]

@romlib_ Crypto is a legit and indeed inevitable technology. Usually such things are net positive.

@manav2modi Please share, how do I access your video. Pretty sure that video plays a pivotal role.

Don’t try to compete with the agent on speed of execution. You won’t win.

You become harder to defeat when you stop needing perfect conditions. Train when the day is bad, work when the mood is flat, speak when your voice shakes, and recover when the plan breaks. The man who can operate without emotional permission eventually becomes dangerous.

First here is the lawyer for second time founders. 🙂

[Will Henry @ItsWillHenry]

Second-time Founders is my favourite gender :

1) no deck until someone asks three times

2) first hire is a lawyer

3) distribution for the product before the product exists

4) "we don't need a big round" and means it this time

5) replies to every customer email personally because they know what ignoring customers cost them last time

6) sleeps 8 hours and ships faster than everyone else

7) the only person in the room who isn't impressed by the term sheet

Second-time founders are the best breed of founders

@kunalvg I was thinking about an AI sending you triggers on a monthly or quarterly basis, or when your dasha/phase is changing rapidly. Say sare about to start or guru ki mahadasha about to start. Something on the lines of major events.

Salon is a real estate game
Malls are a real estate game
Restaurant is a real estate game

Dmart is winning because it’s into real estate
Macdonalds won because it’s been into real estate.
