In my experience as a founder, @DavidSacks has been nothing but helpful and supportive through a tumultuous period for startups. I hear the same from founder friends (many YC co’s) that he has invested in.
Outside of tech, one thing I appreciated was he joined @garrytan in

- Was chatting w/ someone about how coding at night feels way more productive than coding during day. Even early morning, when you're in theory more clearheaded seems less fun than late at night. Probably not universal, but strong anecdotal support. Is there any science on why? 🤔
- Cody combines LLMs like GPT-4 and Claude with @Sourcegraph's deep understanding of code. The result is an AI coding assistant that's much more factually accurate and attuned to the patterns in your codebase. Now we're open sourcing it! Here's why:
- of course that's your contention. you're a first year ai influencer who just got back from neurips, probably just finished reading the toolformer paper, lemme guess—you trained your own foundation model and are now pivoting to agents. you'll probably be convinced of that until
- Two weeks ago, we open-sourced a new Go concurrency library, conc. It now has 5.3k stars. Here's the technical writeup on the motivations and design decisions behind conc: about.sourcegraph.com/blog/building-…
- We've been using @AnthropicAI's new language model, Claude, to build an in-editor coding assistant called Cody that helps you understand code and reduces day-to-day sources of programmer toil. Here's a sneak peek 👇
- Premature abstraction is probably worse than premature optimization.
- The OpenAI Cookbook contains tons of useful prompt tips and examples, but it can be onerous to read through them all. Instead, here's how you can turn these docs into a well-informed chatbot in 1 minute.
00:00 - 1 month into that monolith➡️microservices migration: "Really excited about how much faster we'll move after this bold new architecture" 3 months: "Taking a bit longer than expected, but what project doesn't?" 6 months: "You know, it's the journey that counts." 1 year later:
- Reminder that Amp Free no longer requires sharing data for training. To my knowledge, it's the only free coding agent that has a sustainable economic model (we show ads for other dev tools). Try it for your side projects! ampcode.com/free
- If you'd like to play with @AnthropicAI's new 100k-token model using @langchain, Cody offers a great way to learn new libraries and APIs. This illustrates another advantage Cody has over Copilot: freshness. Cody uses @sourcegraph to fetch context from current code. Its
- The bottleneck in coding is now the time it takes a human to review agent-generated code. But existing review UIs don't work well for agents. So we built a new one into Amp.
