Yours too, if you want it.** +Hi, I'm [Garry Tan](https://x.com/garrytan). I'm President & CEO of [Y Combinator](https://www.ycombinator.com/), where I've worked with thousands of startups. Before YC, I designed the Palantir logo and was one of the first eng manager/PM/designers there. I cofounded Posterous, a blog platform we sold to Twitter. I built Bookface, YC's internal social network, back in 2013. I've been building products for a long time. -The models are getting dramatically better every week. We are at the dawn of something real — one person shipping at a scale that used to require a team of twenty. I am doing 16k LOC/day. I am landing 10+ PRs a day. And I am not special. I just have a system. +And right now I am in the middle of something that feels like a new era entirely. -gstack is that system. It turns Claude Code into a virtual engineering team you actually manage — with a CEO who rethinks the product, an eng manager who locks the architecture, a designer who catches AI slop, a paranoid reviewer who finds production bugs, a QA lead who opens a real browser and clicks through your app, and a release engineer who ships the PR. Thirteen specialists, all as slash commands, all Markdown, all open source, **all free, MIT license, available right now.** +I have written **over 600,000 lines of production code** — 35% tests — and I am doing **10,000 to 20,000 usable lines of code per day** as a part-time part of my day while doing all my duties as CEO of YC. That is not a typo. The models are getting dramatically better every week.
