why art will survive AIhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44697128There are so many ways to be broken and even more ways I can remember being broken myself. Showing up for yourself day in and day out, having this too real, bodily realization of your own self, your own process, your own fallability is not easy.Time and time again, I have gotten up and pushed, sometimes in the same direction, often reinventing from scratch. I have felt like the ultimate creativity for my species is making something out of nothing,whether it is myself as a person, a product or a completely wonky piece of art that only a handful of people will get to see, yet one that will make them feel something.How many times have you made people feel things via a channel other than yourself ? Given death is inevitable and beautiful in how close and real it is, these other channels are ways to tell your story, besides the memories you leave with people that have limited RAM and limited time too.So in order to be you need to make, to interpret and translate your own observation into a Jul 26, 2025 9:43 PM

VCs Got Soft and Made Everyone Cowardshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44696689VCs used to fund impossible startups that wanted to fundamentally change entire industries from their garage. Then those garage companies became Microsoft, Google, and Facebook. Instead of funding the next generation of garage revolutionaries, VCs got comfortable funding B2B tools designed to get acquired by yesterday's revolutionaries. Lower risk, predictable exits, happy LPs.That game is ending.Large companies now use AI-assisted development teams that can launch your innovative B2B solutions in weeks. Why acquire when their internal team can look at your pitch deck and build a version while you're still raising Series A? Look at recent YC batches, how many AI wrapper companies? How many "Slack for X industry" startups? These ideas aren't bad, they're just not bold, and enterprise teams can now execute them internally faster than startups can scale them. When innovation becomes commoditized, acquisition becomes a luxury enterprises can't justify.Bold startups usually fundamentally chJul 26, 2025 8:23 PM

Ask HN: Help me navigate a PIP at a remote startup in the Netherlandshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44669716Hey HN,I'm in a tough spot and could use some outside perspective, especially from anyone who's navigated startup politics or EU/Dutch employment law.I'm a senior engineer with a background at bigger tech companies in the US. A few months ago, I took a job at a small-ish (around 150 people), fully remote tech startup based in Europe. The pay is good for the EU, though definitely a big step down from my US salary. The main reason for the move was to get a visa and work in Europe, and the project (AI stuff) seemed really exciting.It's been a chaotic ride. The project has been in a constant "prototyping" phase, with the product direction pivoting at least 4-5 times since I joined. As the main frontend dev, I've been building and refactoring constantly to keep up. It's been high-pressure, but I thought we were making good progress.Recently, things took a sharp turn. My manager, who is new to management and I report directly to, put me on a formal PIP. This was a total shock, as it was liteJul 24, 2025 12:12 PM

Launch HN: Promi (YC S24) – Personalize e-commerce discounts and retail offershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44649115Hey HN! I’m Peter from Promi (https://www.promi.ai/). We’re building a platform for ecommerce merchants to send realtime personalized discounts, optimized with AI (obviously)Demo: https://youtu.be/BCYNCqb4fUc, Sales Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiO1S7RBn-oAll the big tech companies send personalized discounts - Uber, DoorDash, Google, etc. In fact, I was the product lead overseeing discounts at Uber, so if you’ve gotten a promotion on Uber Rides or Eats, that was our tech. These personalization models often generate >30% more revenue vs. non-personalized discounts (cost-neutral that is), so this is a hugely impactful product.It’s no surprise then that other merchants want to follow suit. Merchants don’t want to waste discounts on customers who would have purchased anyway. Frankly it’s not a new idea to offer a software solution to personalize discounts - plenty of other startups have entered this space with a similar product.The biggest problem with personalizing discounts foJul 22, 2025 4:11 PM
