    Today, I spoke to CS students from Stanford, MIT, and UT participating in an internship program where @gauntletai is leading the curriculum, projects, grading, and day-to-day work. I asked how many had spent more than 100 hours using a coding agent. Four. These are some of the

    My career goal is to never buy SAAS again and build it all myself for any company I am at.

    The times are changing in @gauntletai cohort 2. Half the group wants to ditch @cursor_ai Pro (even with VERY high overage limits) and switch to $200/month Claude MAX accounts instead. Windsurf? Crickets. Haven’t heard anyone ask for it once this cohort. Other highlights:

    At @gauntletai, we're killing the "AI doesn't work on legacy code" narrative. Cohort 3 is reviving Marin Software—a dead ad-tech giant that peaked at $108M revenue before going bankrupt. @Austen will pick 12 Cohort 3 members. You rebuild the software with AI. New business

    I’ve trained engineers at 80+ companies on building production AI systems—RAG pipelines, agents, fine-tuning, workflows, you name it. Now I want to level up my students at @gauntletai with something different: Live architecture breakdowns of YOUR real problems. New YouTube

    It’s insane that this time last year @gauntletai was just an idea. Cohort 3 onsite in Austin, TX starts tomorrow. It’s time to take it to the next level. We will push the limits of what’s possible with AI.

    We are adding a small gym to Gauntlet HQ and free creatine at the office. Code 14 hours a day but get that 30 minute session in while Claude rips through your task list.

    One of the biggest questions I get from hiring partners: What tools are Gauntlet challengers using to code? What’s the tech stack? The tools are exactly what you think they are: Claude Code, Cursor, RepoPrompt, DeepWiki, GitIngest. ITS NOT THE TOOLS, ITS THE HOURS THEY SPEND

    Let Gauntlet reach Cohort 5. By that point, we’ll have built the world’s largest community of elite AI developers. We’ll organize exclusive reunions, retreats, and events for our alumni. It’s inevitable that some of the fastest-growing startups will have two Gauntlet
