So very wholesome. Just pinning it here

Coding is solved but code management is just starting. Love to see one of the masters of the craft jump back in to solve a near and dear problem

[Prasanna S @myprasanna]

Launching @vorfluxai : The autopilot for software engineering. I was prev co-founder / CTO of @Rippling ($10B) and #1 coder in India. Vorflux is my high octane Ferrari.

Every AI coding tool still makes you fly the plane. That's the copilot model: you stay in the seat, approving every turn. The models quietly got good enough to fly the whole route, but the tools never caught up.
So we built the autopilot.

@vorfluxai raised a $15M seed by @ycombinator @peakxvpartners @alliancedao @parkerconrad @jake_zeller @balajis @nivi @metakovan @lmrankhan @nikitabase @0xrwu @ayushjaiswal @mattshumer_ @eshamanideep @sreeramkannan @dvcoolster @nusimow @TeddySolomon11 @ashtoncofer @rvivek etc

Drop your biggest engineering bottleneck below. I'll reply with how I'd attack it with Vorflux, and hand you $200 in free credits to bang out your backlog.

@warikoo I think I know that PS, and can attest to his empathy . One of a kind truly.

[Prasanna S @myprasanna]

Are you a funded startup under 30 employees? Do you have a backlog that you are not able to ship? Me and my team will work for you and try to ship your backlog for the next week using our latest sr software engg tool. It’s completely free for you — you just need to give us time, feedback and all the access you give to a new engg hire. Reply back to this thread and I’ll schedule a time with you, if it’s a good fit. I was ranked no 1 engg in india in programming contests and was cto of Rippling. But the models of course have become better than me these days.

amazing team doing incredible work! check out https://t.co/w9as8OZFm5

We’ve been building in stealth at @AGI_Inc.
Today, we’re ready to share it.

Meet AGI Mobile. An AI that can actually use your phone.

You talk. It executes.
It uses any apps faster than you.
This is what Siri was meant to be.

Limited early access. 👉 https://t.co/crmQhsZieG

A lot happened in the last 7 days. We faced a black swan moment, survived it and came out $500M stronger.

[Rippling @Rippling]

Rippling has raised a $500M Series E. Here’s an update on our fundraising round, along with our response to the recent SVB closure: https://t.co/UTPtIXkNSx. Read on for more… 🧵1/4

[Sachin Bhat @sachinbhat_]

Have led 0->1's before, but taking a product of the scale of Rippling, global, was an absolutely different beast. A surreal experience like no other. It took a village and so many teams together to do this, and I am incredibly proud of each and every one of them involved!!

[Parker Conrad @parkerconrad]

@chenfang @Rippling James Brown is indeed great! But this was led by @elricL137 @sachinbhat_ and Tomer Schwartz, along with a *really* big team of other folks. Largest eng effort at Rippling that we've ever had.

[Sachin Bhat @sachinbhat_]

This was a fun one. If you are looking for more interesting projects to work on, please reach out.

One of our most popular products, the Rippling PEO, was a big engineering challenge with a small team. Read about how we used our backend architecture to untangle the problem and build a solution with high customer demand. #engineering #hiring https://t.co/TwDofWlKQr

[Prasanna S @myprasanna]

I came to the valley 10y ago, to make $1m so i never have to work in a big co again. Never imagined $1B.. Thank you @parkerconrad -- He said on day one, @Rippling was going to be worth $100B one day. Had a 10 year roadmap, that we are still executing against to this day..

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Peter Thiel crunched the numbers and found that the most reliable predictor of startup success is a top VC fund leading a later round. They know what to look for, and it's had time to emerge. So things are looking really good for Rippling.

@rohitdotmittal Congratulations Rohit 🚀🚀🚀

[Sachin Bhat @sachinbhat_]

There's a comeback story here that will be celebrated few years down the line. For now, just happy witnessing it and doing my bit as the story unfolds in real-time

[Parker Conrad @parkerconrad]

Very exciting day at Rippling, with a lot to celebrate and be grateful for. Thank you to the customers, investors, and colleagues who have gotten us this far.

@paulg On the flip side, allowing direct election of a candidate let's parties evolve faster to societal trends, than be limited to the evolution of the party and their bosses which can be a very slow process. Parties in this case reflect society more accurately.

@realDonaldTrump The first of the anarchists, builder of walls, mother of dragons!?!...

@gsiskind @Nanisimo Thanks for the updates @gsiskind would you know if O visas might get affected?

[Sachin Bhat @sachinbhat_]

Perhaps the only feasible solution I have seen for the social media driven outrage culture. Ad revenue pumped up Yahoo email and the spam emails destroyed it down.

[move 37 @pm]

As bots become better at trolling people on twitter, people will stop engaging.

Fortune favours the brave :| nonetheless needs to be highlighted that the brave who were not fortunate often don't survive to tell the tale

[scott belsky @scottbelsky]

Luck favors decisiveness.
When you’re decisive, people want to help you. There's a gravity to it. Dots connect faster, possibilities gain resolution, and your mental energy becomes focused on making circumstances work for you (vs. just thinking about them).

[Sachin Bhat @sachinbhat_]

The enterprise world doesn't care for your good documentation, better cli/ management tools or fancy APIs. AWS is not winning it all. Cloud wars is coming.

[Chetan Puttagunta @chetanp]

Microsoft Azure update:

~$20B+ revenue run-rate
Growing 59%
Gross margin likely approaching 60%
Large deals: Mastercard, Autodesk, Coke signed 5-year agreements

Azure revenue has grown 40x+ while Satya Nadella has been the CEO of Microsoft since 2014.

Spectacular.

Is it weird that this makes me nostalgic :|

[〈 Berger | Dillon 〉 @InertialObservr]

Lagrangian Mechanics is an elegant reformulation of Classical Mechanics.

It's completely equivalent to Newton's Laws, but is often much simpler and is used constantly in every field of physics.
