Fast Company·medium signal

In a FastCompany interview, Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan claims he personally ships 37,000 lines of AI-generated code per day using agentic AI tools. The claim drew 13 HN points but 19 comments — heavy skepticism about what 'shipping' 37K lines actually means. The story is a cultural marker for the vibe coding movement: the CEO of the world's most influential accelerator is publicly framing his productivity in AI-generated LOC, normalizing the practice for the founder class.
