@charliermarsh @thsottiaux @ah20im this is hard to watch, all things considered 🥲

[Matt MacInnis @stanine]

We have an uzi of AI output coming from @rippling this year. If you wanna work for me (directly) to tell that story, please DM me. Needs a solid technical foundation, coupled with the X savviness of @HunterBiden.

@chatsidhartha got mine this week - it's a fun time. get ready for loud fans. ds4 is very interesting. unsloth/gemma-4-31B-it-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL with llama-server is also surprisingly good 🚀

Rippling AI was the most successful launch we've ever done. On the heels of this launch, Rippling's revenue is now growing 78% YoY (at ARR over $1 Billion). And this growth rate has now increased, every quarter, for three straight quarters.

Rippling is a huge Python shop and we have been working with Adam on our Python infrastructure/tooling for a while. Check out this new tool from Adam for analyzing Python profiling data.

Rippling is going to be one of the main companies where AI meets organizations. They're still young enough to embrace AI thoroughly, but they're also big enough that they touch organizations in many places.

[Albert Strasheim @fullung]

@charliermarsh @Rippling i sometimes run this for no good reason, just to delight in how fast it is. thank you @charliermarsh and team!

[Albert Strasheim @fullung]

the @OpenAI codex app does a really good job of orchestrating long-running tasks - watching this thing slice through a terraform write/plan/apply loop like a hot knife through butter is sparking immense joy!

[Rustam X. Lalkaka @lalkaka]

Today we're introducing @usefiretiger. You and your AI agents write code. Firetiger makes sure it works.

Our team and I have plenty of incident war stories building @Cloudflare, @segment, @Twitch. In the agentic coding era, the volume of code changes + quality issues in prod is ever increasing, but observability vendors aren't incentivized to close the gap. They make money when you write more data to them, not when your software actually works.

Firetiger is the agentic operations layer for the agentic coding era. We combine production observability data, codebase understanding, and knowledge of your business to find problems before your customers do and fix them before they notice.

We've raised $7.6 million led by @sequoia with participation from angels who believe in better software, including @eastdakota, @calvinfo, @NicoRosberg, @dok2001, @jeffawilke, and @alanaagoyal.

You can sign up for @usefiretiger today, self serve. We charge for agents that directly make your software better and more reliable, not for observability data ingested, with plans starting at $599/month.

Observability is dead. Long live outcome engineering.

@asxna @Rippling @mister_whistler Thanks for having me @asxna - really enjoyed the conversation!

[Charlie Marsh @charliermarsh]

Announcing the Beta release of ty: an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust.

We now use ty exclusively in our own projects and are ready to recommend it to motivated users.

10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers and LSPs.

In other tech news - Rippling is launching corporate travel.

https://t.co/S5BmtFPWl3

- Control travel spend before it happens ("only allow booking flights within 30% of the cost of cheapest reasonable flight").

- Because it's integrated with Rippling, you can easily build out policies based on someone's role (different policies for VPs than Managers).

Congrats @mustbesyrup , who founded Rippling Travel and has been building it for the last 3 years!
