It's been a little over 9 months since I wired my first check as a solo GP at my firm, Schema Ventures. Here’s a few observations:

This is a good piece on the current market conditions and SaaS selloff. On the moats, I think the regulatory/compliance one is the strongest by far.

Beautiful writing, as always. I’m both jealous of Will’s writing and inspired.

Great post from @Bouazizalex and so true. In two of my previous roles, I'd commute ~3 hours every day to go to the office, then do zoom calls with coworkers in other locations and buildings. If you're working in a large enough company, you're already a remote employee even if you

“People who can direct teams of agents at goals and know how to judge what to focus on in a full-stack scope will experience an exhilarating level of productivity that makes making software a joy again. For roboticists: there is the age-old question of how much we should rely on

Great note, and I also feel the same way. You spend years learning to build things, and the journey really has been the reward. And now it feels like the skill set is obsolete practically overnight. Time to learn and build differently.
It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness. I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so. Something I was very good at is

Codex app is out for mac! I am surprised by how much I love it; it is a bigger step forward than I imagined. Lots more to come.

I learned many of these by trial and error. Really good tips if you’re building using Claude Code.
I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is

Build better software and get a YC interview and $$ - love this
Introducing Better Hack At Better Auth, our goal is to democratize access to high quality software that enables others to build category defining products and companies. We’re finding software is often weighed down by legacy decisions, bloated features, and workflows that no

What a time to be alive
so just to recap this week (so far) - musk industries is real (spacex, tesla, xai merger) - clawdbot explosion leading to a bankrun on mac minis but then anthropic released their own version - tesla dropped the bomb they’re halting production on model s and x to scale 1M

Massive divide I’m seeing: A) Startups where the founder hands-on, building with the latest AI tools and best models, sees first-hand what this means and championing everyone to use it, not caring about $$$ B) founder not engaged, devs still think AI (aka Copilot) is “meh”

As enterprises continue to adopt various AI tools, the demand for having better visibility and tracking usage will keep growing. Oximy tackles this growing problem - congrats @namanambavi and team for coming out of stealth, and excited to back this awesome team. If you’re a
I’ve spent the last 6 years building for pharmacies in India, to the heart of the AI boom in SF. Today, we’re coming out of stealth with @oximyhq and joining the @ycombinator W26 batch. We are building the System of Record for Enterprise AI Usage. 🧵

“LLM agent capabilities (Claude & Codex especially) have crossed some kind of threshold of coherence around December 2025 and caused a phase shift in software engineering and closely related.” - very true.
A few random notes from claude coding quite a bit last few weeks. Coding workflow. Given the latest lift in LLM coding capability, like many others I rapidly went from about 80% manual+autocomplete coding and 20% agents in November to 80% agent coding and 20% edits+touchups in

It's going to be tough for startups when all the Lord of the Rings names are taken and the only thing left is something like Bombadil AI.

This is an excellent piece on how to think about Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) for enterprise AI startups. My favorite part is right at the end - “Linear services scale by adding bodies. Exponential services scale by adding capability. Both have FDEs. Only one is building
