Today, we're announcing @thatch_ai raised a $108M Series C at a $1B valuation from @thegp, @IndexVentures, @generalcatalyst, @a16z. The idea we're betting on: healthcare serves whoever controls the dollar. For 80 years that's been the employer. We think it should be you. Employers typically choose one health plan for everyone. We think there's a better model: give people a health budget and let them choose the insurance and care that fits their life. That is the idea behind Thatch. ARR has grown nearly 7x in the last twelve months, and more than 5,000 employers now use Thatch. None of this happens without our team, or without the employers who believe that their people know what their families need better than they ever could. We're building a healthcare system people love by changing how we fund it.

fellow engineers, this week is a good time to write docs while security teams deal with (yet another) npm nightmare ...or to prompt claude to write them anyway

Hosted a wonderful event last night with @itsArthurAI, @CloudflareDev, and @stytchauth for #SFTechWeek on AI Agents 🌉 🚀 We had an amazing turnout and great conversations. Shoutout to Ian, Nori, @imvs19, and @csparks1919 for showing their cool agentic demos and sharing their expert insights on "how to ship agents that don't break" ⚡

taking a computer security course where a good example of why you shouldn't roll your own crypto is a custom exam platform that was created and used by the course i was a TA for in summer 2020. fond memories! that was the only semester we used that platform.
