I turned down my DynamoDB internship to join @ycombinator F26. we're building simulations at @Simulithic to simulate user behaviour at scale. i'm just a regular person who kept building things i thought were cool! if i can do it, so can you. and if you’re choosing between a big-tech and building something, my dms are always open. onward.

I'm not even kidding, this is the best product ever
Shipping code shouldn’t mean hours of manual testing. @Simulithic (YC F26) sends AI agents through your app like real users, across browsers, devices, and account types. It tells you what broke without you writing a single test script. The teams that ship fastest will be the ones that can verify as fast as they build. Get started today: simulithic.com

we (@simulithic) are launching on @ycombinator tomorrow! it honestly still feels so surreal. because to be honest, i'm a pretty normal person. but in the words of one of my goats (@mynameisyahia): i just kept going, worked harder than most, and kept learning from people ahead of me. see you all tomorrow 🫡🚀

I reverse engineered Pocket and made it 10X better. Right now: the app is full of ads, the microphone is low quality, it constantly misspells peoples names, and has no agentic features. I changed that.

We raised $9M to give your agents the internet. Led by @generalcatalyst, with @orangecollectv and Robinhood Ventures. Search, scrape, crawl, monitor with one API trusted by 800+ customers. We’re making it ridiculously easy to build with web data.
