You might know Rahul as Rahul Ligma from the now famous twitter take-over prank. We dig into the background story of that event as well and go through his journey from Uber, Facebook to building Julius. Note: this video is not sponsored by Julius AI, I just like what Rahul is doing. :) β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬ Check out Julius AI here: https://julius.ai/ β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬β–¬ ⌚️ Timetable: 00:00:00 - 00:00:38 Intro 00:00:38 - 00:02:19 Hyperstack GPUs (sponsored) 00:02:19 - 00:10:18 Twitter prank, YC, Rahul's journey 00:10:18 - 00:13:35 Moving to SF - tips 00:13:35 - 00:20:25 Why support R?

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional Β£25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
