Now open to consulting projects/teams cuz I’ve been getting a lot of DMs and the reality is that most of em have no idea what they’re doing
Fundamentals
Launch structure
Chain selection
Marketing
Risk Management
Flywheels
Tokenomics
I got into @ycombinator S26!
The past 6 months have felt like 2 years:
- Turned down 7-figure new grad offers at top companies
- Bootstrapped until my bank account hit zero
- Pivoted 5 times, and did door-to-door sales for a couple of months
- Joined @zfellows and flew out to SF last month
- Cancelled my return flight to Toronto
- Had wonderful neighbours I'd just met crowd-fund my apartment deposit
- Got the call from @aroraharshita33 6 hours after my YC interview
...all without telling my mom.
Codag is the crystallization of everything I picked up across infrastructure, systems, and platform engineering.
Our thesis is that within two years, agents will be the primary consumer of logs, and soon the primary producer of them. Today's observability stack and dashboards were built for humans to look at. Agents are a different reader entirely, and the infrastructure for understanding systems at scale has to be rebuilt for them.
That is what we're building. We start with log compression: turning millions of lines into a compact, cited capsule an agent can actually read, so it stops drowning and starts debugging.
I cannot believe I get to work on this full time - I wake up every day looking forward to building more. To everyone who made it real: @carterkev, @cory, @aroraharshita33, @amiklas, @nemild for taking the bet, the neighbours who backed a stranger with a laptop, and the countless friends that support me. Thank you.
We just published an open source CLI and algorithm for log compression, fully free at https://t.co/GmXKUIFTQf. If your agent debugs production, I'd love for you to try it, or just to talk. Got a lot more coming soon, and most of it will be open source.
Now I should probably call my mom 😰
