It's the opposite... Digital Ocean bought it for $4M; I bet they sold it for $0 (rather than shut it down).
(EDIT: oh maybe you're saying the same thing and I misunderstood?)

Unless they edited the post, they never said this. You should delete this; it's false information.

We do not agree. You're lucky you're allowed to love the person you're with. But you having a good experience doesn't mean it's not political, it just means it doesn't affect you.
Love, as a concept, is highly political unfortunately.

Your love may not be political, but what is your sexuality? Are you both citizens of the US, legal or not? Are you both healthy with good insurance?
You were able to afford food. 66% of Americans have said they worry about paying for groceries (as of July 2026).
The beach seems nice... will it still exist in 10 years?
You should be able to freely enjoy these things without thinking about politics. But it doesn't mean they aren't political.

Can you come up with anything more substantial?

Hackers have always been political. I've never met a true hacker who wasn't political.

Are they wrong, though? I have a hard time thinking of a single part of life that isn't actively being shaped or affected by politics.

They don't want to own the next GitHub. They want people to build the next GitHub on Artifacts (and pay Cloudflare for storage and compute).
I don't have a strong opinion here, but giving away compute as a prize for hackathons isn't anything new.

Nothing about this is based in truth.
I won't bother with the rest, but in the past 15 years Dems have only had 2 years of a "trifecta" while republicans have had 4.
Dems have had more presidential terms, the senate has been split, and Republicans have held the House for 11 of the past 15 years. The Supreme Court has been a Republican majority the whole 15 years (with an exception of a tie after Scalia died).
Republicans have the incredible ability to have overwhelming control and agency yet still act like the victims.
EDIT: In response to your edit... you claim Republicans exist solely to keep Democrats in check, and then you list a bunch of things Democrats weren't able to accomplish because they were blocked by Republicans. Your logic is that Dems are bad because they couldn't make certain things happen, but those things were all blocked by Republicans.

I know you're downvoted on a dead thread, but... can you give me a few examples where Republicans are better than Democrats?

(These aren't my personal opinions. I'll also note that the YC super PAC seems to donate to Dems and Republicans seemingly equally.)
There's a list of things. I can't find much about this specific Super PAC, but things in the past I've heard concerns about:
Prevent limitations to QSBS
Protect H1B / access to global talent
Banning non-competes
Expensing software development
Removing antitrust / regulatory barriers
Light regulation on AI / pro data centers

It's interesting that it brags about no AI as a feature, but the website (and maybe the product itself?) was clearly built using AI.

Unfortunate this was the result of 23 years, not unfortunate it's happening.

Well now you've heard of both, so their marketing is working!
