[Prateek Jain @impratj]

For the past few years, I've been obsessed with building developer tools.
Built https://t.co/uwoYOdlHp5 & Tern SDK in the webhook o11y space.
Now I'm looking to contribute in frontend, web performance, developer tooling, or o11y space.

Hiring or know someone? Let's connect.🙏

@WyattzWorId 😂😂feels bad for him

A bit more about me 👇

Spent countless hours on:
• React & Next.js
• Frontend Performance
• Core Web Vitals
• DevTools & DX
• Webhook Infrastructure
• Observability

I just love building products. If you know someone hiring, I'd appreciate an intro or feel free to DM 🙂

I’m early or @ycombinator late to it 😅
doesn’t really matter though landing at the perfect time is the real game.

[Prateek Jain @impratj]

came across @t_blom talk on self-improving systems happy seeing this getting validated.
but also… really now? 🙃
isn't this loop existed for a while?
a year ago built a similar self-improving loop for the niche problem of webhooks and back then i thought i was already late.

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

In a recent batch talk, YC General Partner @t_blom broke down how to build a self-improving, AI-native company.

He walks through how to create recursive, self-improving AI loops, and why founders who get this right will run companies that improve while they sleep.

Engineering is magic

[Prateek Jain @impratj]

recently i been exploring few art forms, came across cross-stitching and realized it adapts insanely well to anything almost like ascii art or pixel art did

[Prateek Jain @impratj]

this cross stitch art looks insanely good

[Avi Patel @avipat_]

General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled.

(skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context)

I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of.

This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.

[Prateek Jain @impratj]

Built too many experimental ideas I felt to build.
my spirit character is now legend Jian-Yang
take something that works… and make it better😂

@aidenybai After callback hell we got useState hell

[Prateek Jain @impratj]

the best part is every single dot was intentional.

[Prateek Jain @impratj]

everything i built over the past few months felt like dots.

they're finally connecting into something beautiful.
