Dan McGee

CEO @GraphideDev (YC F26). A graph based IDE for when agents code faster than you can read.

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]

At one point we realized we didn't know what was in our own codebase, so we built a tool to visualize it as a graph.

Turns out there's a lot more you can do with this, agent swarms, CI/CD, and improving agent context to name a few.

You won't believe how many people told me over the past 10+ years that proof assistants would never achieve widespread use, and that my work was therefore not useful. Ignore people who discount entire fields of research because they are hard. All the more motivation for research

No babe I love that your private key is one integer, the big ones scare me

@ankrgyl And with graphide we hope it'll be even easier to do that code review

@LeoBuilds_ You just might with the power of graphs at your side, who knows

@mattgapp All 5 of them should care about Graphide then.

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]

@jarredsumner Graph it out bigger...

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]

@RamV2003 we are at around 200k a month, subsidized by Subs and the 1M credits in the Codex + Claude startup deal

most of this is spent on evals and research

Using graphs to tackle CICD! Brought down our costs by 70%

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]

@poteto We turned this into an IDE!

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]

Boy do I have a graph for you!

Check out Graphide

[Wes Winder @weswinder]

claude code and codex need to say less

just show me what changed

and what needs my attention

that's it

reading all the long responses is exhausting

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]

@theo Fun project! We've been trying to tackle the same problem, but using graphs to bound what CICD needs to run in the first place, got around 70% savings on our 800$ CI bill!

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]

@flohoeller If only we had this for coding too...

[insert random opus graph slop]

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]

@mattgapp Looks sick, can probably be combined with graphides CICD blast radius to further reduce your costs by another 70%

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]

@RamV2003 Not a bad plan! Ill give it a shot

[Dan McGee @mcgeedan42]
