i will continue using composer 2.5 anyway, because no model explains better
Opus 5.5 communicates more naturally, addressing some of the most common feedback we heard on Opus 5.
It puts the most important information up front and follows the writing rules you give it, which makes long sessions easier to follow.

"reported to the relevant teams for correction" - find a more french response lol
Oops… 👀 It looks like our signs decided to take a trip around the world a little faster than expected. Thanks for spotting it and bringing it to our attention. The error has been reported to the relevant teams for correction.

remove all comments from your codebase
20% of it is bullshit
i analyzed 100 comments randomly picked in my codebase.
some insights:
> most common mistake is overstatement
> the longer the comment - the more likely it is misleading slop
> operations is the weakest spot (5/19 False), probably because operations are most of the time on the edge of multiple systems
> cli commands comments had no mistakes (6/6 true), very user facing part, being reviewed multiple times a day
how:
1. created 2 samples of 50 unique comments
2. for each of comments, a fresh grok 4.6 agent was asked to compare the comment with the code.
3. assembled the results in a report
conclusion:
code should be the only source of truth. dont let your agent be misled by these comments. I will progressively delete the comments completely from certain places in my codebase to see if agents get better.

I applied to YC 4x before I got in
first time was 4y ago, with my current co-founder
what got me in this time wasn't one simple thing, it was the culmination of all that I learned and the momentum I gained over time, made effortlessly pattern-matcheable by the YC partners through every single sentence of the application
what you need is not one trick or good idea, it's just to be better at startups
so here is all I learned in 5y of doing startups
- don't speedrun, take time to compound everything: life, knowledge, skill, intuition, (co-founder) relationships, insight
- don't give up: it will necessarily take an absurdly long time or insane luck to put yourself at the right place at the right time for sure
- don't compare to others: if you can't keep compounding while in a censory vacuum, with no positive feedback for monthes, you can't survive the hard moments. the trick is not to think "gosh I wish i'd be at <goal>" it's to think "only way towards <goal> is to keep going today at least!"
- don't try please VCs, just do something very ambitious and grow good at it, the rest will follow
- meta progression is key: while you work on startups, the odds of failing that individual startup is high, so make sure to not play within your level of comfort, such that you can improve your eq, your skills, and make sure to use this time to grow your social media or IRL cred, your technical skills
- information is what makes you compound: keep learning, asking, noticing, reading, doing the hard search
- moats are built with iterations: what is hard to reproduce isn't your given wealth, intelligence or insight, it's all the intermediary steps to get to a position of power, insight, momentum, that you can't skip, that you must pass one after the other
if you grind all that for long enough you'll gain the level of clarity, insight, and momentum that YC expects

a huge company politely asked us to change name
ascii box is now boat (boat.dev)
the last 4 months pushing box have been crazy
we shipped a cloud sandbox platform that:
- is 8x to 18x cheaper than leading providers, saving our users >$2M / year at this rate
- is 40% faster than Daytona, 2.6x faster than Modal on runtime benchmarks
- offers full VMs with 60fps desktop, browser, forking, snapshots, up to 2000 VMs concurrent self-serve
- grew to 350+ paying users, 6 figures ARR and is now growing +160% MoM
- got us into YC F26
- and became popular enough to be noticed by trademark lawye...
ah shit
yes, it's sad & lame, call it however you want, but they're certainly right, and I appreciate they're letting us time to migrate away
but like every storm, this won't sink us, it'll only strengthen our will!
now it's time to spam post a thousand boat pictures and grow a brand of our own
why boat tho?
it's short, memorable, unique in our niche, boat.dev is a phenomenal domain (for $400), and no billion $ AI software co uses it
but also it makes sense for our product
increasingly, agents use our state of the art sandboxes not just to be standard, constrained and safe
but mainly to do significant autonomous work, gain freedom, develop agency, achieve great discoveries, leave their mark on the world, find treasures for their captains (you)
sandboxes shall be like vessels, motherships for the agents at the frontier
now go build that agent fleet! (don't do piratry please)

Bro makes really good events. Join if you’re around you won’t regret !
This is me meditating on a rock in California.
The realization I had back then:
I need to find cracked builders!
And help them:
To get into The Residency's program in SF (Scouting).
For that, I need them to demo at our event, in Berlin.
Bringing SF to Berlin.

weekly billable usage on our sandbox product @asciidotdev just keeps on growing and growing
our users keep benchmarking us against 8x to 18x more expensive alternatives and turns out we perform better on real workloads
too bad still so few sandbox users know us, working on it!

i saw this message when astra delegated work to a subagent
what the hell? is it some sort of tokens that allow better communications for agents or what? am I crazy?

bro, how do you find time for this as a founder ?
this is my dream to have one of these old British-racing-green land rovers to restore and bring my gf to a trip somewhere to scotland
I don’t believe in investing in my future
I’m going to continue putting all my money into fixing broken classic cars
