Y Combinator’s CEO says he ships 37,000 lines of AI code per day. A developer looked under the hood

We love a good ol’ social media roast, and Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan found himself on the business end of a doozie Wednesday. 

Tan, who in a past life worked as an engineering manager at Palantir and has more recently been a vocal proponent for AI acceleration, bragged that he and his AI coding agents have been deploying 37,000 lines of code per day across five separate projects. “Absolutely insane week for agentic engineering,” Tan wrote in an X post on Monday, adding in a follow-up post that he was on a 72-day shipping streak.
