Pear AI is getting way too much hate.
First, there is no YC double funding the same company. One partner funded one code editor one batch, another partner funded another code editor another batch. All VC funds do this. YC funded 100 companies this batch, and 200 last batch, there is no world where they don't have 2 repeats.
Secondly, these guys aren't evil geniuses, they're guys who had an idea and shipped it. They made something people want, and they made it available to people. Thats all YC has ever been about. My guess is 100+ people applied with ideas that are 95% similar, take note that these are the one that got in.
"YC has no quality or prestige" is great for you — but these guys worked their butt off to get here, everybody in YC did. You don't know them. Your post has no substance, its just negativity for negativity's sake.
I'm writing this because I remember the day I got into YC. I worked my butt off, dropped out of college, left my job, built good tech, applied and got in — it felt incredible. To have random people like you try to tear individuals in the community down seems so wrong to me.

I've been going raw VSCode for the past week — No AI and no syntax highlighting — feels good. I think I'm shipping a little bit less than before, but the code I'm shipping is delivering far more value.
New preheat system takes internal startup from 1000% CPU usage to 20%, and a 45 second process down to 2 seconds.
One day AI will be a better coder than me, but that day is not today.

Just won 2 hackathons in SF's biggest hackathon weekend!
3rd place at @ycombinator's Coding Agents Hackathon with Shoya — using LLMs as intelligent runtime environments that interpret plain English AS code.
1st place at @cognition and @windsurf's Applied AI Hackathon with OverEasy — making cybersecurity accessible so vibecoders can easily evaluate if their apps are safe.
Huge thanks to my amazing teammate @rileyshu_rs for making it possible to finish each idea in just 7 hours! And tons of gratitude to the incredible judges & hosts who made these events happen: @benswerd @tejasybhakta @aidenybai @AlisaRaeWu @bertie_ai @TheAshwinEffect @sdianahu @karpathy @realchillben @swyx @itsandrewgao @AlexReibman @AnthropicAI @claudeai @cerebras @modal_labs
Working on vibe coding tools myself got me thinking a lot about the future of software. If we really want to empower more people to build their own ideas, we need more flexible, bug-free ways to build without sacrificing security.
Feels like we got a bit closer today.

A list of JS Runtimes:
NodeJS — old, what I use most of the time
Bun — new, seems like people really love it
Deno — my cofounder won't stop talking about how I need to switch to it
Hermes — React Native needs its own JS Runtime — actually this one is pretty cool, they precompile to bytecode.
Workerd — Cloudflare, they have their own for fun — its also pretty fast
QuickJS — runs on wasm, so I can use it to run JavaScript in JavaScript in JavaScript...
WinterJS — Claims to be the fastest, we have yet to see when people start using it
GraalJS — does not claim to be the fastest, have never met anyone who uses it
Cloudstate (Freestyle's runtime) — JavaScript where the data in it is durable — so you can treat your classes as your database.
Did I miss any?
PS. I know QuickJS is an engine not a runtime, but list felt weird without it.

By my guesstimate ~90% of S24 batch is AI for X, or X AI.
I met <12 companies with 0 AI. I'm CEO of one of them.
YC AI companies get too much hate. The most incredible people I met in the batch were doing AI for X, and the worst companies I met was doing AI for X.
However, I think all the other non-AI companies in YC are all doing something really different and cool — we have to be to get into YC without AI. (not that I have xtreme bias)
There is nothing wrong with following hype when the hype has actual value — and the AI wave has a ton of value — but the YC ideas of "be contrarian and right" seems antithetical to the "be non-contrarian and build where everyone else is building" thesis I believe I saw.
Not sure what to think of it.

Cloudstate runtime is the most different runtime in the JS Runtime wars.
We took the data in JavaScript classes and made it so instead of being stored on the heap, its offloaded to a persistent data store. When you access data on classes, we pull the data back out of the store.
This means that your JS Runtime can now also be your database.
Node/Bun/Deno compete over the server, cloudstate is for your data, and the rest of your backend.

Right now we prompt AI. The next generation of AI Apps I'm seeing are built around AI prompting us.
OpenAI's o1 is smart — probably smarter than me. The most promising apps I've seen building on it are centered around o1 leading the conversation, and prompting us to provide extra information when it needs it.
Our AI overlords are almost here.

That’s actually what pisses me off about his post. It seems like this guy got rejected from YC, has a bone to pick with the fund and is taking it out on two guys.
I’m good with negativity, hating YC and all of that. There is a lot to hate. I don’t like that he went after them individually — their batch just started, nobody has any idea where they’re going to go.

We just merged in pluggable Blob storage to Cloudstate.
This means when you store a Blob on a Cloudstate class, instead of being Bincoding and living on the regular database, you can configure it to live anywhere.
We Open Sourced 3 adapters already:
- In Memory for fast local development
- File System for debugging the files stored during local development
- S3 Compatible for offloading in production when you need real scale
If there are any storage providers we're missing, its a simple trait 🧵

Subject: Call to Service
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
XIV-XV-MMXXV
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CEO
ON OFF, INC. also known as @onlookdev
To whom it may concern,
For too long, designers have been unable to practice their excellence to the fullest.
For too long, developers have been forced to interpret instead of invent.
For too long, we have endured the insufferable feeling of compromise.
Onlook is recruiting our first Founding Engineer – a tactical soldier armed with ambition and skill, prepared to change the way the world crafts exceptional products, brands, and experiences forever. We are on the hunt for a worthy ally who will architect the foundation of a new instrument of creation – One that is open-source, AI-native, and respects code as the source of truth.
You will not simply build. You will liberate.
If you feel the intoxicating urge to abandon the dull and join our cause to empower the greatest creatives of our time, express your interest imminently to daniel@onlook.com. Bring the knowledge you’ve sharpened in the shadows of extraordinary experiences past, and join us in San Francisco.
This will be an incredible journey unlike any other.

I'm honestly not sure this would've helped me.
I feel like when I was writing essays for school the hardest part was that I new some of my teachers weren't going to really read them.
I learned to code young, and when I coded good programs they made people laugh, smile and more than anything created an impact. Compare that to the feeling I got when a teacher handed me back an essay I wrote with a few notes about my sentence structure and nothing on the substance of my thought and its no wonder I went into CS.
I think an AI that gives adults another excuse to disengage from kids learning is just going to make learning feel pointless to kids like me.
