If AI can code 100x faster, why aren't you shipping 100x faster? Because AI code is not production-ready code, and definitely not code where you understand and can vouch for every line Introducing the Command Center alpha. Support our Product Hunt launch!

love to see this. Jimmy is one of those people who gets obsessively better at things. Love to see his craft focused on this critical bottleneck

Command Center is definitely a startup to watch. Jimmy is one of the most intelligent and tenacious founders I know. I first met him as a mentor during the 2012 Thiel Fellowship, and he’s been obsessing over this same problem space for a decade. Expecting great things.

If you're a programmer, please give my pal Jimmy's new tool a shot.

Jimmy might be the craziest guy I know. This guy became a Thiel Fellow… and instead of dropping out, he just… took more classes and graduated earlier. Why doesn’t everyone just do this??? Sorry @DStrachman He did his PhD in CS at MIT, in meta-metaprogramming. Yes, you read

Last week I shipped 29 PRs in 4 days while prepping our 2-day hackathon. Last night: 9 PRs in a few hours, while also prepping for VC calls. All all clean, well-reviewed changes. Not AI slop. I cannot imagine doing this with the same level of quality without Command Center.

This is still an alpha. But we're shipping fast, and have gone from squashing bugs to refining the UX. Lots of issues still. But the existing workflow of trying to understand the code that the AI just wrote is truly awful, and I cannot imagine AI coding without Command Center

Command Center fits into your workflow. Run it from a browser or your IDE. Use Cursor and Claude to write code, Greptile and Coderabbit to find issues. Command Center walkthroughs replace git diff Try it now. Runs locally, your code stays on your device https://t.co/tnH4rJ6OL4

Command Center is the fastest code-review and refactoring agent that lets any engineer turn good code into great code 20x faster.

running an ambitious startup be like "Gee, what are we going to do tonight?" "Same thing we do every night. Try to take over the world!"

My greatest research discoveries came when relaxing....after previous intense worksessions of devouring the literature and thinking about the problem till my head hurt Disappearing for days in grad school to grok some hard concept. Many times. That's where mastery comes from
“996” is a mass production / central planning approach to creation. it doesn’t work for inventing new things. it only works for cog like scaling of mechanical processes. great work doesn’t happen after 100 hour weeks, it only appears in tiny fleeting random moments, embrace that

Built something really cool with @bikbrar at the @ccdotdev hackathon and ended up winning!🏆 Now we get to keep building from @AngelList’s new @founders_cafe and we’re planning to launch soon 👀 Huge thanks to @jimmykoppel @raylmbek the CC team and @IrinSon!

@jimmykoppel It was the best Hackathon ever (we join 50+ hackathons per year both in SF & Japan!)😄 We got to put all our energy on creating working & understandable code, not a fancy demo! We'll ship it in advance to make sure it gets home🍿🚢

It turns out code quality drives business value. Even in a hackathon. Congrats Taro and Hina! Best of luck getting the popcorn machine through airport security
1st place + "Best Code Quality Award" at De-Vibed Hackathon!🥇 This was not a usual hackathon: you're handed a feature request designed to break AI slop code. To ship fast, you need a stable, well-structured codebase that can absorb destructive changes. Our response? We

Software is notoriously expensive. The lack of physical constraints allows complexity to grow unbounded. There's a reason why even hardware companies often have more software engineers than mechanical/electrical engineers.
sf is not real it’s wild to me that people raise money before even start to get any customers AND it’s for software. If your already a technical founder (which most in sf are) then the cost to build is negligible I know there are other costs and I know why ppl need to
