Introducing opencap(.)dev
Coding agents had no great way to send proof of work.
It’s a either screenshots
(automated, not video),
or stepping in to record a Loom manually
(video, not automated).
I wanted both.
One terminal command. Structured event log. Shareable URLs

@maxwellcopy great breakdown, we’re in a similar spot.
do you think there’s a long term opportunity cost you might be overlooking by doing #2 & #3 - as opposed to just doubling down on #1 & #4?
I think after the industrial revolution, defense started to become completely obsolete
the internet, quantitative easing, advances in healthcare and artificial intelligence sped this up 100fold and we've now hit escape velocity.
if you were born in the middle ages the way to win was just "don't die"
wait it out
war of attrition
the cost of going to zero was insurmountable
but now, zero is a mirage. it's merely a suggestion.
look around you. look at sports. it's all offense - who can put up the most shots.
you can't even die from AIDS anymore. they nerfed AIDS.
the proletariat in you will fight against this idea because it's against your very DNA. you are the living result of a long line of people who lived in a reality where zero was very real and not to be messed with. defense was incredibly important.
the winners of today's society recognize the rules have been flipped and we're now in a completely different paradigm.
so act accordingly
empty the clip.
We all know volume negates luck, but it’s deeper than that. Volume creates data and data creates intuition.
It’s all one big casino, but enough data gives you intuition , *not* to always be right,
no one is always right.
Data gives you the intuition to have enough conviction in your decision to stick it out when it’s been a few losing hands in a row and conventional wisdom calls for a reassessment of strategy.
It’s all one big casino, but the rules have always been the same. Bet big, win big.
Each time we hit a new level of growth, there’s a period of time where we need to invest heavily into better data, visibility and insights
Each time it’s an order of magnitude more data needed compared to previous levels
Out with the old, in with the new
As a customer, I feel like seeing YC *insert batch* from a product I may potentially be buying is becoming low signal
Basically becoming the startup version of "as seen on tv"
The good products backed by YC don't have to tell you they're backed by YC
