Can Jev escape a maze?
Turns out it depends how you write the map.
When given as a 2D grid, “wall above?” is worse than chance. “Wall to the right?” is 99.9%. Rotate the page and every side becomes 1.00.
It isn’t seeing the grid. It’s reading the next character.
So I gave @typesafeai’s Jev the maze as lines of sight and named places, not as a map. Notes below.

Confidence tracks how constrained the list is. One unexplored way left: 0.91. Four or more: 0.30. The decisions that went against the text: 0.22.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of “navigating life” lately, and decided to turn it into the visual language of my personal website.
Continuity. Change. Freedom. Direction.
Still building, but here’s a little preview.

@junhoh0ng and I won 1st place at the @quiverai x @cursor_ai Creative Coding Night hosted by @a16z 🏆
The brief: build a delightful visual experience with Quiver and Cursor, in 2 hours.
We thought we didn't have enough time, but arrow and cursor made creating and animating assets so effortless that we could spend most of it on design.
In the end, we built an interactive media art of three Korean traditional games (nori) as minimal pictograms in obangsaek, Korea's five traditional colors.
Thanks @quiverai @cursor_ai @a16z for the great night, and to all the amazing builders we talked to. So excited to see where AI takes design next.

last weekend we hosted our first event-
a rooftop mixer for AI/ML engineers.
priority: good food, great drinks, immaculate views and absurd number of cracked people condensed on one roof.
should we host another? here's a quick recap if you missed it:

It’s hard to know how much you should be paid at a startup.
Startup pay is hard to benchmark.
So we built offers.fyi.
Connect your LinkedIn + GitHub to see how you compare with similar engineers.
Set the number you’d leave for, then see which startups reach out.

You should definitely take this if you don’t have a lot of work experience but think you are exceptional.
The top of our leaderboard right now? An intern.
And no, he didn’t cheat. Our CTO interviewed him and he was actually exceptional.
There are young builders outscoring engineers with years of experience.
100+ builders took the exceptional.builders assessment in the last 3 days, and the results are upending our assumptions about who the best engineers are.
One assessment. Intro to 20 fast-growing AI companies.
7 days left! Take it today in exceptional.builders

Do u think ur cracked? Do u not have time to apply to 20 jobs? Just take this assessment once and ur done.
You shouldn’t have to prove the same skills to every startup you apply to.
That’s why we partnered with 20 seed and series A startups backed by @sequoia @a16z, @MayfieldFund, @ycombinator, @foundersfund, @khoslaventures and @lightspeedvp.
Take one shared technical assessment to get introduced to companies like @sekaiapp, @blockitAI , @andera_ai and @clair_health.
If you pass, you’ll skip straight to @trypensive's final round and bypass the technical screening rounds at the other 19 startups.
Take the assessment here: exceptional.builders
