[Nik Nandi @niknan]

@maria_rcks when we ask "if we can" we really must ask "if we should"

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

@theo ok so its not just me lol. asked it why my auth middleware was failing and it explained a redis cache i do not have with full confidence

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

@maria_rcks just fall forward?

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

@theo the 200 dollar claude sub is one of the greatest peices of "just one hit" possibly ever

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

@DhravyaShah its sad but people will do whatever they can

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

@theo i dont know how but it was definetly with rate limit resets

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

building an ai app for caregivers showed me exactly how little tolerance people have with new products.

the hardest part isn't the model, it's that the people who need it most are exhausted and have zero patience for anything that feels like software

@heinenbros aint no way bro 😭

[sujal @sujaldkl]

I was born in Madrahani, a small village in Nepal, and immigrated to America not knowing what startups were.

Today I'm the first Nepali founder to join @a16z @speedrun, where I'm building https://t.co/ZlXRYLx9iV 🇳🇵

Here's my journey:

@sujaldkl @a16z @speedrun the goat 🐐

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

@OMpaka82842 we made a decision, just not on YC. more coming

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

Can’t believe we withdrew from YC after applying😭

If myself from a year ago saw this he would be outraged, but crazy news dropping soon!

[sujal @sujaldkl]

I declined my YC interview this batch. This would’ve sounded insane to me 4 months ago, when I was crushed that I didn’t get in.

Somewhere along the way, it clicked that YC doesn’t make the company good; you do.

If you got in, congrats! If you didn’t, keep building and iterating.

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

@its_trivi @sujaldkl ofc ofc

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

@niveditjain @sujaldkl just wait! big news!

[Nik Nandi @niknan]

wait has anyone seen the thinking machines models

lowk insane things, may deadass try to make my own ultra fast vision encoder lol
