Okay.

Uh I mean, I think we're just at the dawn of this technology and um it's the people who already know how to code who are uh taking the best advantage of it.

And you know, I'd I'm seeing the haters on the internet uh coming at us, but that's fine.

Come at me, bro.

What's happening is that like, you know, h a hundred percent of YC companies these days have technical co-founders and then uh you're stupid not to use it.

Like basically why would you subject yourself to

You know, spending a lot of hours on things that um you don't have to do and uh being able to go all the way to ground and debug the thing and you know, basically a prerequisite of using these tools well is that um you don't need the tools.

Um you know

I still think like it's still it's not like product doesn't matter or design doesn't matter.

It uh yeah, if anything, what it is is uh it matters even more.

Like the bar was lower before.

The bar is much higher now.

Like back then, if you go back like ten or fifteen years for startups period, you know, when I first worked at YC in twenty eleven, um, almost anything that had really technical co-founders and a real problem, like you were gonna be

You know, at least a series A company.

Like you know, and then I don't think that that's I think that's become less and less true even today.

You know, there are perfectly good, very technical teams that have all the skills and you know are in pretty big problem spaces.

And then there's competition, like the bar is just so much higher.

So I think the way to think about it is if you're not using it, you're actually leaving um
