If you've properly setup your codebase and LLM tooling, while continuing to refactor as you go along you could get pretty far. Most people will not do that and will get poor results. Garbage in garbage out.

So far I've written ~0 lines of code in this React Native app. I know how it works, but I just prompt GPT-5-fast and wait. Curious to see if this continues as the app grows. I dislike the "you can vibe code everything memes" but maybe I'm wrong.

GPT-5 is definitely limited by it's cutoff date when it comes to accurate information. But when you give it current information it seems to slot it in correctly with it's existing knowledge, it doesn't hallucinate. Impressive.

The advantage of small teams is you know in depth what everyone is doing. In startups it’s crucial bc the rate of learning is so high. An increase of people means a decrease in the communication bandwidth so you learn less quickly.

A few interesting notes.1. Yc companies don’t always need to succeed, they just need to find and fund good founders. If you fail, apply again. 2. YC is one of the few firms that can do a “request for startups” and have it work. They can fund an unlimited number of teams to solve.

Imo, or all programs / vcs YC has replicated CAA’s dynamics, specifically around pricing packages ( demo day valuations ) and idea generation ( request for startups / selling to batch mates ). This could only happen with increased batch sizes btw.

RT @GeoffreyHuntley: retweets appreciated. hi folks, some important life news.i’m looking for a new employer - contact via ghuntley@ghuntle….

Was out of town Thursday / Friday for a personal thing. Just caught up on my dms and slack for work / personal stuff. If I missed you lmk!.

Stanford’s campus is the most meticulously thought out place I’ve ever been to. It’s one of the few places I’ve been where the modern buildings fit perfectly with the historic ones. This campus is one of the few reasons I regret not going down the college path.

Doesn’t matter who you are early stage, the game makes you pay your dues. You have to work hard and it can be a lot. Stress is not a bad thing, but absence of it can be. It’s like going to a gym and not feeling tired after, thats not really how it works.

Companies with founding engineers who are “way less stressed” than the founders are ngmi. Founding eng is less stressful than founding, but there’s still so much to do. Also, the founding engineer at a solo founded company is the CTO, and thats not an easy gig early stage.

Weird fun fact about me:. I was reading the generalist and nyt deal book before I knew what YC was. Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure this is how I found out about YC’s existence.

the flow here is mind bending and piano loop is highly addicting. pretty sure this is my #1 song on apple music right now.

I listen to this a lot. gonna leave it at that.

Chords and bass line on this are really nice. It's such a sickly sweet song. Madison McFerrin is determined to live in her lovers dreams and nightmares jfc.

Arguably the best song on this album. My biggest complaint is that it wasn't longer. TIL there's an unedited mix. Marvin Gaye was quite the yearner.

Not sure if there's a cooler guy than Anderson .Paak when he's with The Free Nationals.

Quadeca nailed so much on this song. The vocals on this song between him and the background are so so good. Really need to watch the movie for this album too, I feel like I'm missing a part of the experience not seeing it.

Ahhhh, These Chains! is a fitting song title. Simultaneously untethered and burdened vibe.
