Techie. Building in AI. Impatient. High-sensitivity BS sensor.

Been there, scaled that.

Why urgency?
Because "kal kar lenge" is a very expensive sentence. Do it today, and tomorrow is free suddenly for the next shot.

Double the shots, same 24 hours. That's the whole cheat code!

Imagine how terrible it's going to be for the one hiring. A flood of tailored CVs!

Someone on Reddit built his wife a job search app.

She is a junior software engineer, and her job search had dragged on for almost 10 months. Tailoring a resume for every posting took ages.

So he built Dossier. It finds postings, then writes a tailored resume, cover letter and email for each job, using only facts from her profile.

It tracks every application from draft to offer on a board, and it runs on your own server, with a local AI model option, so your data stays with you.

She landed a job with it, so he open-sourced it for anyone in the same spot.

It is free at https://t.co/0kx7EuwQii.

Absolutely... @profoundAIRep gets it done.

[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

An AI assistant should get things done. Including hiring humans when needed. @shivanipod gets it.

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

Very true. The entire Lutyens crowd, media, hangers on .. are quiet, afraid to take on this Jihadi who stands against everything we believe in our country. What a big big bunch of cowards, hypocrites and losers they are @BDUTT @PrannoyRoy7749 @sardesairajdeep @ShekharGupta @IndianExpress @pbmehta All are scared Big Shame @Iyervval @ARanganathan72 @Aabhas24 need to comment @RShivshankar @republic @AnchorAnandN @CNNnews18

Liberals in India are peice of shit and terror sympathizers. Always.

I agree with some of the points raised but who is this anonymous character calling himself Ibn Khaldun Bharati to raise such serious concerns.

[Anuj Rathi @anujrathi]

Love the pitch.

IMO laziness and attention deficit is not going to get you to your next gig, especially when jobs get scarcer.

Neither will “dear agent, please apply to 100k jobs on my behalf”

Nor will “I need to be top of Hiring manager’s inbox”

It’s going to be a combination of being substantial, being differentiated, telling your story right, and the right matchmaking.

There are many ways to be successful.
But being yourself, unapologetically, is the necessary condition for any success..

Sometimes a demo is simply to remind the world that your competition has no desire to dream -- and no ability to evolve.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

One question founders always ask when we speak at YC is: How much of the standard startup advice still applies in the age of AI? At this point, nearly all of it. I can't promise that will be true in 10 years, but at this moment, starting a startup is much the same as always.

[Guillermo Flor @guilleflorvs]

It took Alexandr Wang a full year just to get his first meeting with Zuckerberg — and the story of what happened after explains a lot about how Mark actually operates.

"My memory is that I think it took, like, one year to schedule that first meeting."

This was during a period when Mark was fielding an avalanche of AI interest. Scale AI was deep in the space. The intro came through. And then nothing for twelve months.

Once they did connect, Wang started getting something unexpected: long, rigorous WhatsApp responses.

The obvious read is that Zuckerberg is just a busy person with a hard calendar to crack. The more interesting read: the year-long wait and the long WhatsApp replies are the same trait expressed differently.

The CEO who takes a year to schedule a meeting but fires back a rigorous essay on WhatsApp is not disorganized. He's ruthlessly sorted what deserves his best thinking and what doesn't. The delay wasn't neglect. It was prioritization at work.

If there’s a single word in your AI-generated deck that you can’t explain, don’t share it with anyone.

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

Looking back, it is so interesting that we all rushed in 2023-24 to learn LangChain and many other frameworks. And now, almost all major coding harnesses and agents are just hand-rolled loops.

Turns out, the abstraction was the overhead.

[a16z @a16z]

.@OpenRouter co-founder Alex Atallah on the "everyone is building the same thing" take:

"This reminds me of this tweet I saw... Everybody's building an agent loop with notifications, third-party connectors, context management, memory, sandboxes, agentic web search, an always-on agent on top."

"This product is showing up everywhere. It is showing up everywhere, but these are just the new table-stakes primitives."

"A 2005 version of that tweet would be: 'Oh, everybody's building the same thing. A database, a users table, a sign-in page, a sign-up page, a profile page, a logout page. Everything's the same.'"

"There's like a lot of differentiation really. There's table-stakes needs for AI just like there's table-stakes needs for the web."

Parag Agrawal was asked to share insights about Elon Musk that the public might not know.

"I have lots of disagreements with him. But I'll share what I think is for founders here, which is what I think the thing you can admire about him.

The urgency and the ability to compress time. And I think having unreasonable expectations of people is mostly a good thing because most people don't understand what they're capable of and kind of implicitly sandbag themselves and implicitly set lower expectations of themselves than they're capable of.

So when simultaneously inspired and pushed with urgency, people can do more than they thought. And I think he can sometimes extract that from people. And when that works, it's powerful."

I too agree with parag elon knows how to compress time and do work in 1 years which would take 5 to 10 years. What your thoughts on these ?

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

People seem shocked that the author of Clean Code doesn't read code anymore. But that should not be surprising.

Why did I write Clean Code? What is the goal of keeping code clean? To get it out of the way of the real job -- thinking.

[DHH @dhh]

Not every seed of service you plant will sprout and flourish, but if you keep planting, eventually some of them will. That's just the math of good deeds and good faith.

[DHH @dhh]

There's almost no problem that can't be solved by going faster, trying more options, testing additional hypotheses. Accelerate!

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

The best thing you can bring to the table is clarity. Even more so in the age of AI.

[DHH @dhh]

It takes a while to build the confidence, but there's no future where you're manually reviewing every line of agent code. Not much acceleration in that. You need adversarial agent reviews, you need automated testing, and maybe you spot check. That's it. From prompt to production!
