Software Drives People Insane

I have a little pet theory that software drives people insane. Not in the "wash your hands every thirty minutes like Howard Hughes" kind of way, but more ...

asd-ste100

ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, and the reply shape a reader with ADHD can act on. A standing style rule, not an on-request tool. Layer 1 governs the words of every text a human reads — chat replies, docs, READMEs, commit messages, PR text, code comments, error messages, release notes, tool descriptions, task trackers, wiki pages. Layer 2 governs the order of a reply to a person — the next action first, numbered steps, real time estimates, no preamble and no closer. Neither layer touches code, identifiers, or command syntax. Load it before you write prose, and also when asked to remove "AI slop", make writing clear or plain, enforce a controlled style, or review text for STE violations. Two word modes — strict (procedures, runbooks, safety text, error messages) and STE-flavored (general prose, the default).

YC F26

Vyra launches at YC (Fall 2026)

Vyra is an AI video editor that turns raw footage into finished video. You describe the edit in plain language — "cut my clips to the beat and make a color wheel edit" — and Vyra analyses the uploaded footage and returns a finished draft in minutes, with every conventional editing tool (split, ripple, slip, clone, motion graphics, text layers) available in the same conversation rather than buried in a timeline UI. It is built for people who are not editors but still have to ship video, and it connects to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client. Founded in 2026 in San Francisco by Caleb Pong (built neural networks for Omoggle, 3M+ users, and Adobe plugins; CS at Brown) and Sulan Zhang (CS and visual arts at Brown; 60k+ creator following as @sulansart). Y Combinator Fall 2026.

$40.0M

Impossible Objects raises a $40.0M round

Impossible Objects, based in Northbrook, IL, makes Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) systems that bring 3D printing to industrial-scale production. Its CBAM 25 platform prints composite parts — including carbon fiber — at production speeds, standing in for CNC machining and injection moulding rather than for prototyping. Parts are stronger, more precise and geometrically more complex than other additive methods allow, across a wider range of materials. Customers include the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army's Rock Island Arsenal — where the technology can support production of up to 10,000 drone bodies a month — the National Institute for Aviation Research, the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center and Rochester Institute of Technology.

$50.0M

Archy raises a $50.0M Series C round

Archy is an all-in-one cloud platform that replaces virtual servers and patchwork of specialized tools, enabling scheduling, charting, imaging, billing, insurance, payments, messaging, and reporting—all in real time, all in one place. The platform’s design allows practices to hire and quickly onboard non-dental professionals, while built-in AI-powered automation handles time-consuming tasks like insurance verification and patient communication, reducing overhead and optimizing efficiency.

Mirrors launches at YC (Fall 2026)

Mirrors builds runnable staging environments for AI agents. It captures production traces from an agent's real sessions, reconstructs a working twin of the internal tools and APIs that agent calls, then replays those sessions against every prompt, model or tool change before it ships — so regressions surface in staging rather than in production. The gap it fills is that agents call bespoke internal services no standard test suite can reproduce, which matters most where a mistake is irreversible: issuing refunds, updating records, sending outbound messages. Founded in 2026 in San Francisco by Aryan Singhal (ML research at UT Austin and UCSB; six AI/ML papers published while in high school, three at NeurIPS). Y Combinator Fall 2026.

$15.0M

Piston raises a $15.0M Series A round

Piston is a cardless payments platform that connects commercial fleets with gas stations, founded by former fleet owners Vikram Sekhon and Shivam Shah. The company has created a secure payment system that eliminates card fraud and retail price markups. Piston aims to transform the fuel payment landscape by offering real-time insights and savings for both fleets and gas stations. Currently, Piston is serving over 120 fleets and 800 gas stations while processing more than $20 million in annualized transaction volume.

$100.0M

Maven Robotics raises a $100.0M Series A round

Maven Robotics designs, builds, and deploys intelligent robotics for logistics and manufacturing. They created the world's first general-purpose robotics system for industrial work, integrating hardware, software, and AI across all layers. Their robots are designed for complex physical environments and rigorous commercial standards, focusing on industrial-grade reliability and scalability.

$15.0M

R3 Lithium raises a $15.0M Series A round

R3 Lithium produces lithium carbonate from 100% recycled battery materials at its facility in Covington, Georgia. The company operates a 154,000-square-foot plant designed to recover lithium at commercial scale from battery manufacturing scrap and end-of-life batteries. R3's facility can process up to 30,000 metric tons of battery material annually and currently produces 2,500 metric tons of lithium carbonate per year. The company has secured approximately $1 billion in offtake agreements with customers including major trading firms.
