The most Y Combinator YC application: it applied itself

Hacker News

So I applied to YC a few times...this time I thought I'd use assistance. And I went all out. The thing I'm applying with did my application. I didn't touch a knob or a dial...didn't type a key. I just prompted the agent and it used the tool. You can see the insane 3 min video - sped up 21x here (link in its description to the full slow video too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udwuE1PrM_0&feature=youtu.be To me this is the ultimate YC application - one i didn't have to stress over, had someone to help me with, and was a showcase of itself. This Show is for the receipts. Also, the most Y Combinator thing a YC application could do was recursively submit itself. If you want to know what this dank magic is that crafted this insanity it lives here: https://fuckui.com Good luck out there
