Copilot is likely writing more code on GitHub than humans.
As AI generates more of the world’s code, we need a new developer toolchain to review, test, and deploy quickly & safely. Here’s what we believe it looks like

Counterpoint: the value of YC is disproportionately realized by the top 5-10 companies in each batch. Don't apply unless you are going to be one of those companies.

I left school to do YC in 2013 so I might have some idea... For clarity I don't mean to imply that YC isn't worth doing - I probably wouldn't have worked at Square without it either - but instead that companies should be intentional about when they do it to maximize the value

"We shape our tools and our tools shape us"
@father2cloud
@pacojonar
@withgraphite
Tooling IS exactly the barrier! It's why Google and Meta built their own, custom tooling around it. Gerrit and Graphite are the only two solutions I know that are maintained (Phab is no longer) and provide decent tooling for this specific use case (e.g. for reviews, rebase etc)

Pro-tip for product-led growth founders:
When you get pinged by a user’s security/IT department, don’t see them as hurdles. See them as enterprise sales leads in disguise.
It could mean usage is so extensive in the company that they want to buy controls. Or they could be

Hundreds of companies use Graphite's merge queue to power their repos, and we're excited to release batch merging to help them ship faster while saving CI $!
Launch week fun fact💸:
AI and graphics companies will routinely spend up to $250,000 a month on CI/CD infrastructure due to their GPU runners!
What if there was a way to significantly reduce CI costs while also speeding up merging?🤔
