Heard of so many NYC engineers struggling in SF w/o access to real bagels.

Honestly, I get it. Being in NYC and eating 10x better bagels is wild

Heard of so many FAANG engineers struggling w/o elite tooling at startups

Honestly, I get it. Going to a bigger company and seeing the 10x better infra is wild

Hosting 🤖+🥯AI Bagels in NYC next Wednesday @ 9am with Percepta AI

Come swap hot takes on the potential(?) log loss of white collar jobs and the newest chapter of the OpenAI/Anthropic saga with other AI researchers and SWEs IRL

I see all this excitement about "CC cooked this up" and "just use CC" and wonder why everybody is talking about Cream Cheese 🥯

congrats to the grep team on the raise!!

[murat 🍥 @mayfer]

🔥 Today we’re excited to announce new funding for `grep` (at a $1.3B valuation) to continue building the foundation of agent observability and text search infrastructure.

grep began as a humble UNIX utility in 1973. Since then, it’s evolved—through recursive innovation and the rise of ripgrep—into a core platform for developers, sysadmins, and agents. Our tools now power engineering and AI teams across @OpenAI, @Anthropic, @Meta, @Cloudflare, @Replit, @NASA, and thousands more.

Over the decades we’ve iterated from grep to `egrep` to `ripgrep`. Our goal has always been to figure out what intelligent agents of the future need to see, filter, and extract—and then build the tools that make that possible.

While our journey is still just beginning, we also want to take a moment to reflect on how the space (and our role in it) has evolved. You can read our reflections and details on this funding milestone here:

We also share more about the funding that will power our future there. Thank you to @IVP, @Benchmark, @Sequoia, @CapitalG, and the open-source community for their belief in the enduring power of regex.

What excites us most today is what’s next:
grep 5.0 with AI-assisted pattern synthesis
ripgrep Cloud, bringing distributed search to agent clusters
pgrepGPT, an agent-native process discovery layer
And new no-code integrations for autonomous observability pipelines

We’re in the midst of a transformation in computation itself. grep and ripgrep will remain at the core—helping humans and agents alike find what matters, faster.

I feel like this one held up

[Sherry Jiang is at ai engineer singapore @SherryYanJiang]

a lot of sf startups work 996 bc deep down they know they’re not building anything differentiated. speed is the only edge left when you’re making the 57th lovable for excel.

@ShayneRedford Is script a proxy for underlying language family? Presumably languages that are related but have different script should still show strong transfer?

There has been a lot of buzz about this article. Some personal takeaways:

* Working weekends --> make trillion dollar company 💰

* I would gladly join an AGI cult. But a payment app cult? No thank you

* Note to self: don’t get a tattoo of company logo

If you're in your 20s in NYC right now, a couple of years eating bagels will lead to serious Dad bod.

[Matt Turck @mattturck]

If you’re in your 20s in tech right now, a couple of years at OpenAI, Anthropic or a great AI startup will give you 10x the career juice of any MBA or graduate degree (and a lot less debt).

In tasks that can be partitioned but which require communication among the subtasks, the effort of communication must be added to the amount of work to be done.

Everyone always talks about the mythical man-month. But what about the mythical agent-hour?

More AI agents will not solve most problems (yet).

due to tariffs the optimal learning rate has dropped from 3e-4 to 5e-6

We have been advising on bagel tariff policies with a little help from AI
