In 2008 I showed up to Y Combinator Startup School to take photos of speakers and learn how to start a startup.
I was an engineer and designer and had never started a company before.
Introducing Smart Reframe in Cardboard
One video → horizontal, vertical, square
Cardboard finds the subject, keeps them in frame, and gives you the format you asked for.
No crop box.
No keyframes.
Only 1-prompt.
Try it on: cardboard (dot) ai

From a Hindi-medium school in rural Rajasthan to a founding engineer at a YC-backed startup in San Francisco.
Stories like Divya's remind us that where you start matters far less than how relentlessly you keep moving forward. @dibbaa_code

"hey clicky" can you please dm @FarzaTV to recruit me on his team?
@heyclicky is my go-to tool for learning things now, and I was shocked it could compose me a song.
goated tool team, kudos.
I am building a team.
If you're really really really good at building stuff, design, filmmaking, writing, pushing the models to their limits, or just making people care about a product at mass, certainly reach out.
Let's collab + make stuff.

I rather take 1000 shots where I try something new and fall on my face in front of everyone vs be the guy that has 1000 ideas and never goes after any of them.

we are building at the @ycombinator web agents hackathon this weekend.
introducing clawtrace: on-call security for openclaw web agents.
openclaw is powerful. but it’s hard to fully trust what your agents are actually doing. that’s why we built clawtrace.
clawtrace lets you:
- know when your agents go rogue
- detect anomalies in behavior
- track sessions, tool calls, thinking states
here’s how it works:

A few weeks ago, the internet fell in love with a simple, wholesome video of a girl in an auto. It was organic, viral, and cute.
Today that same person is begging for basic dignity because people are feeding her face into AI models to generate non-consensual content.
There is something deeply parasitic about how the internet treats viral subjects. They cease to be humans and instantly become public domain IP for engagement farming.
The tragedy is the disconnect.
There are thousands of aspiring creators for whom this level of explosive reach is a "dream." They hustle for years just to be noticed.
But not everyone signs up for that life.
Not everyone wants to be a public figure.
Not everyone consents to being "content”.

Learning dance from youtube is just 80% pausing and 20% guessing.
It doesn’t have to be that way anymore though….

I never shared my story on X about how I'm living a generational dream as a musician, so here it is:
> grew up in a small town in India
> parents always treated me like the chosen one
> music became a vehicle for me to express what I couldn't say out loud
> gradually learned how to convert my feelings into sounds
> my grandpa wanted to be a singer, but couldn't because of responsibilities
> but now I get to live this generational dream
Thank you @madeitdesi for covering my story <3

We recently spoke with @dibbaa_code,
born in a small village in India,
She finished high school at 12, graduated college at 18, joined Amazon as an SWE at 19
and now she is in SF building something of her own.
Here is how she did it from schooling to building:

Solo founders are underestimated. We’re changing that.
In May we launched the Solo Founders Program (<1% acceptance rate) for six founders to build together in SF.
60 days in: millions raised, 35k GitHub stars, rapid growth.
Join us: Fall 2025 applications close soon.
Solo, Together — Solo Founders Program
Solo Founders are underestimated — we're here to change that
