my take: getting the code written is becoming easier; deciding what deserves to become software is becoming the bottleneck.

Hi — I'm Stan. Welcome in.
I'm a software engineer and a YC founder, building AI-powered tools for how people work. This is where I write essays on architecture, AI engineering, and product building, share what I'm reading, and leave tools out on the bench for anyone to use. Stay a while.
my take: Timestamped notes from Jeff Dean and Diana Hu's conversation about AI hardware, context engineering, agent skills, research taste, automated experimentation, and distillation.
my take: context management is not housekeeping around an agent; it changes the capability you actually get.
