Y Combinator Startup Podcast · How To Design In The Agent Era · 7 Aug 2026 podcast

We do use Cursor extensively.

We use Cloud Code extensively.

We use BugBot for our PR reviews, which has been really helpful.

It's a little too pedantic sometimes, but it still catches bugs, which is good.

There's a little bit of a FOMO right now with agents, where it's like, oh, every company is shipping without looking at their code.

Are you going too slow?

We are kind of taking the approach that quality software takes time.

And we have competitors that have every single feature.

but they don't have the attention or people don't care.

And for whatever reason, whatever that is, it's like people want paper to be better.

They don't want the competitors that have every single feature to be better.

And I think that it's because we care and we're putting in that precision, that care about these things.

So even if we're moving a little slower, people still care more about it.

And so I think that quality matters still, thankfully.

Yeah.

A huge part of that is like being very values aligned with the market.

We didn't have a product for the first year and we still got to about 25,000 Twitter followers just by talking about our values.

Do you like design?

And then we'd get into the topic and talk about typography or whatever.
