And then what's funny about it is some of them attack me by name, and then I go and look at their open-source projects, and...

I don't see any movement.

They're progressing at the same pace that they were progressing a year ago, two years ago, five years ago.

Yeah.

And after I get some launches done, I think I'm going to go into those open source projects and I'm just going to drop some PRs on them.

in programmer term, it's like, I'm just going to give them a free gift of like tens of thousands of lines of fixes to like their software.

And I think I should actually just give them a gift and then see if they understand and accept it.

And if they don't, that's okay.

The engineers who hate vibe coding and AI the most are the people who would benefit the most from embracing it.

Has anything come through YC that is hardware-based as opposed to software-based?

Oh, a ton.

Yeah.

I mean, Stokes Space, for instance, is

probably going to be alongside SpaceX with one of the reusable rocket technologies soon.

Astronis is actually a competitor to SpaceX, which is fun.

They're providing Internet access.

I think many Southwest flights now have Internet from Astronis.

They're a competitor to Starlink.

So, yeah, what's funny about it is I both respect the heck out of Elon Musk.

He came to speak at startup school last year, and that was awesome.
