You could probably make a lot of money simply by investing in companies that a significant percentage of the latest YC batch use. They're the quintessential early adopters.

1. Egoless - are they willing to do the jobs nobody else wants to do? 95% of work in startups is pure grind. Everyone is expected to pitch in and do the schlep...

The new AI powered RLS assistant in the

dashboard is a perfect example of
@rauchg
's concept of "DX 2.0".
This isn't just a simple chat interface - it's deeply integrated into the policy writer and will make diff suggestions against your SQL code.
DX is evolving fast.
AI will unlock "DX 2.0". It'll transform how we think about Developer Experience.
DX 1.0 tools are well known: great docs, low latency feedback loops (e.g.: turbo HMR & builds), great error messages, zero configuration, ergonomic CLIs, …
AI unlocks entirely new tools: code and
