input_sh: Looking at the README file, my first question would be what's his monthly API bill, with my second question would be how much of a discount does he get as a boss of Ycombinator.My guesses would be five digits and 90%.
toomuchtodo: “They’re just text files Gary.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6nem-F8AG8
garrettjoecox: Missing a satire disclaimer
therobots927: This reads like a a child telling you about their toys and making up fun little stories about how they all interact together. Or showing you their Minecraft server. How about you explain why anyone should care about this Gary, and no, lines of code aren’t a good reason.
grvdrm: VC investor metic brain. Right?
observationist: Omg, this is like god mode.
rileymichael: > In the last 60 days I have written over 600,000 lines of production code — 35% tests — and I am doing 10,000 to 20,000 usable lines of code per dayand what is there to show for it? absolutely terrible metric
rileymichael: >somewhere right now, an LLM is saying 'great work' to a man who just committed a text file to githubthis is fantastic, captured my thoughts perfectly
Sherveen: As I said on Product Hunt (which upset Garry quite a lot) --If he weren't the CEO of YC, this wouldn't be on PH, and it wouldn't be on HN.This is not an impressive setup, folks. It's overengineered and deeply into its own form -- it will not make your agents better, and is likely to make it worse. There are lots of other people to follow/learn from/mimic for skills/context engineering.
ed_mercer: The problem with this is that it all runs local on someone's computer, whereas with openclaw you can involve your teammates (e.g. on slack) which is much more powerful.
Marciplan: He's such a basic person
rovr138: > five digitsbefore or after the 90%?
input_sh: Considering he mentions ten sessions at once and I'm pretty confident he wouldn't tolerate waiting for the quota to reset itself... maybe like high four digits with the discount applied, definitely five without it.I could be underestimating both by a digit.
claudiug: is this https://theonion.com/ article here?jesus christ...
jazzpush2: That's an absolute insane amount of code 'created', but the natural follow up is: for what? Are there examples of what this software has created?
vessenes: Interesting to compare this to Gastown. I also have been starting with a design mode, but I have been doing the ceo side myself. I also rely almost solely on codex for audit - Claude is just too eager and optimistic to make a good auditor.
CactusBlue: Mostly just markdown-based skills. I've personally had more luck with harnesses, preconfigured permissions, and scripts to automate the frequent workflows, and the repo seems pretty light on that.
input_sh: Oh wow, the astroturfing by other YC-funded CEOs over there in the comments is quite ridiculous.
nthngtshr: I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve seen this pattern a couple of times with close friends: they get obsessed with a topic, their sleep falls apart, they seem manic, and eventually they start doing really strange things online and crash and burn. They usually recover, but by then a lot of relationships are damaged and they’re left with a lot of shame.Now I know these are symptoms of bipolar disorder/psychosis (they both eventually got professional treatment and told me much later), and I wish I’d known at the time so I could’ve helped. He’s bragging about sleeping 4 hours and joking about having cyber psychosis. [0]Sleeping only 4 hours is a classic mania symptom.I’m not as close to Garry, so I don’t know for sure, but some of the behavior feels very similar to what I’ve seen in my friends.I hope Garry has people in his life who can help. At the very least, you have to sleep — poor sleep is strongly correlated with psychiatric conditions.[0] https://youtu.be/W3YpC4Dvzso?t=929
xnx: We need to stop paying attention to rich people.
jazzpush2: Right.If these are the people making the decisions (and don't even get me started on the 'technical' folks at a16z...), the cluely-esque enshittification of VC over the last few years makes A LOT of sense.
therobots927: If you can call a ketamine soaked, amphetamine-fried tangle of nerves a brain.
therobots927: I agree with your assessment.I could care less about Garry’s mental health. Or the mental health of any tech CEO, for that matter.
frizlab: couldn’t?
hnrodey: Why should anyone care about this?
input_sh: For the same reason I care about Elon Musk's decisions after he purchased Twitter: I want more tech CEOs to publish as much of their bullshit online as possible for people to hopefully realise what their "superhuman productivity" actually looks like in practice.
Jamesbeam: With that state of mind Gary will be in charge of the FBI in a matter of days. Watch out Kash, there is a new weirdo in town and he got +10 to AI Psychosis.The way the whole repo is written it’s like he thinks he is the messAIah. We are all getting sold glass marbles.
verdverm: Maybe it's accurate, one could conceivably care less about them if they cared more about paying them attention?
verdverm: Tan is the reason YC batches have gone down hill. I don't think he gets the benefit of the doubt anymore. This is just pure slop for someone way too high on their stash.
