Cool things are happening with people designing their homes as easily as vibe coding
Deskilling is irrelevant when it unlocks personalization of where folks live

Most people spend their lives living in buildings they had little influence over.
We believe AI can help change that.
Over the last month, 120,000 people generated 325,000 home designs with Drafted.ai
Today, we're excited to share that we've raised a $16M Seed led by Buckley Ventures to continue building multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design.
Here's a glimpse of what we're building:

This is the same as believing the efficient market hypothesis
If prices were efficient, there’d be no hedge funds. If coding was solved, there’d be no people driving the agents

If you’re looking for something open source to replace Stainless with, I gotchu

Stealing ideas in tech is like stealing jokes in standup comedy, when it happens it’s usually noticeably worse
Even the US version of the Office had to develop new character dynamics than the UK version
General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled.
(skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context)
I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of.
This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.

"if your github profile cant compare to mine, its probably not the right fit"
Quickly made 46 commits so I'd get to 6k contributions before you github.com/yevbar/commit-cra…

if you want to come work on things like this i have open recs at Sentry
$350k to $1m TC
you need to have a proven track record, ample public work, be highly autonomous, 5 years industry experience, and be based in SF or willing to relocate.
if your github profile cant compare to mine, its probably not the right fit
DM your credentials (or email to david at sentry)

Nobody can say I didn't try to keep bun in zig

At least one person at Anthropic thought this was really smart
* Brings direct usage to their product (Claude Code)
* Cleaning up VC-subsidized tokens
What does today's CAPTCHA solvers or ad-blockers look like with LLM subs? Or, will models get cheap enough it doesn't matter?

Starting June 15, paid Claude plans can claim a dedicated monthly credit for programmatic usage.
The credit covers usage of:
- Claude Agent SDK
- claude -p
- Claude Code GitHub Actions
- Third-party apps built on the Agent SDK

@jetbrains was painfully early to language oriented programming btw stackoverflow.com/questions/…
But you may have fun with racket lisp if you want to reduce syntax overhead like done here zacwood.me/posts/2019-06-27-…

dynamic workers would be a good compile target for a new/real lisp

I noticed there wasn't an LSP server for AppleScript so I made one. Some examples of what you can do with AppleScript:
- Use a local browser to navigate and fetch data
- Send iMessage without opening the Messages app
- Programmatically control Claude desktop to send a prompt

Assuming bun does move to rust, I think this pans out one of two ways:
- zig’s the last popular lang and SaaS-pocalypse starts to apply to programming languages
- some lang(s) goes AI native and becomes the new popular lang(s)

99.8% of bun’s pre-existing test suite passes on Linux x64 glibc in the rust rewrite
