Founder of https://t.co/BiQm78SSXg (YC W25)
San Francisco, CA
Joined March 2014
I helped over 60 companies reach millions of developers in 2025. The results were insane. Some companies saw 300% increases in MRR. Others saw massive adoption from YC founders. All of them got tons of feedback and consulting from me and my team, helping them better understand

New blog: Agents Should be More Opinionated https://t.co/wd5ZQ6nU2A TLDR: Today's agents have too many options and not enough opinions. The fix: Harness engineering (prompts, tools, defaults) encodes your team's opinions into the product The gain: A delightful & good product UX

The best agent products aren't the most flexible, they're the most opinionated. Learn why agents need fewer knobs, not more, and how to design around model intelligence spikes.

i benchmarked React Grab against a wide range of UI element retrieval scenarios w/ Claude 4.5 Sonnet (in Claude Code) read more on how i did it: https://t.co/v3Io5ebkaD

I got tired of watching Claude grep around my codebase every time I wanted to edit a button. So I built a tool that lets me click any element and copy its exact source location. Turns out it makes...

Also: I AM HIRING! If you're a SWE that wants to move fast and build a next-generation agentic dev tool, please be sure to reach out! I'm prioritizing candidates based in SF or NYC. 😅
I'm excited to share that I am officially a founder again. This time, I'm building something close to heart: not a healthcare SaaS platform, but a tool that helps developers find and fix production issues 10x faster. Here's why. 🧵

since ppl keep tagging me - it's clear the market has a latent desire for this "future slack." it's a tough problem bc it won’t look like anything we have today we're working hard, iterating patiently, and are constantly looking for the right ppl to join Ando. DM if you're eager
Sam Altman says Slack has many positives, but it creates endless fake work We need an AI-native productivity suite to replace docs, slides, email, and Slack Not add-on features, but trusted agents that handle work and only escalate when needed This finally feels within reach

Just watched this sent via AI (and Human In The Loop) live on stage at https://t.co/iSfmmPtPET.
tsconf.ai
A one-day event of talks, code, and community all focused on building AI with TypeScript. We're done pretending Python owns it all. This is where the next wave shows up ⬥
Just attended #TSConfAI, and it was mind-blowing! 🤯 The insights, networking, and innovative talks on TypeScript and AI were absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for next year! 🚀 #TypeScript #AI #TSConfAI
