I've been telling my story of how we turned Bump into Google Photos to new YC founders at the start of each batch. I hope sharing it more broadly inspires even a few founders to go build the future for all the rest of us. Full video in the replies.

I’m a retired Marine LtCol and Democrat running for Congress in Virginia's 2nd District because I swore to defend this country. We need a new mission in Congress: one that puts people over profits. Help us retake this critical district now by clicking the video to donate.

A great place for founders to operate is the intersection of [would be really valuable] and [doesn’t quite work yet]. B/c it will work soon.
Yesterday it failed. Today, same code + prompts, new model and it works. Only old-world software parallels I can think of are generational jumps (think 3G→4G internet speed) that unlock features.

Our 2.5yo was saying “shut up, idiot” a lot, so I taught him a new replacement phrase. Hearing him say “don’t have a cow, man” is one of my happiest achievements.

For too long, the swamp controlled America’s future. That's finally changing, but they're fighting back. Be part of the team taking on the corrupt deep state.

9 years to get to $10M ARR; 9 months to $100M+. Replit is a story of a founder with a vision finally unlocked by AI.
Amjad Massad (@amasad) started Replit to make programming accessible to anyone, anywhere. What began as a tool for learning to code has grown into a platform pushing the limits of AI-assisted software creation and recently surpassed $100M in ARR. On The Breakdown with @t_blom
