How many forks of VS Code am I supposed to have installed at this point?
3 comments

My YC2026 startups are an AI agent that automatically manages your VSCode forks, and a public safety computer vision app for smart glasses that predicts whether someone can afford a lawyer based on their skin color
They'll have to compete with these other pending funded companies:

- ai therapist for your ai agents

- genetic ai agent container orchestration; only the best results survive so they have to fight for their virtual lives

- prompt engineering as a service

- social media post generator so you can post "what if ai fundamentally changes everything about how people interact with software" think pieces even faster

- vector db but actually json for some reason

AI Agent Orchestration Battle Bots. Old school VMs are the brute tanks just slowly ramming everybody off the field. A swarm of erratically behaving lightweight K8s Pods madly slicing and dicing everything coming on their way. Winner takes control of the host capacity.

I might need this in my life.

Don't forget there's 2 or 3 of each in YC2026.
You'll need a Chromium based app to count the installs for you.
yes
