YC S26 Application: "Attach a coding agent session you're particularly proud of"

4•simplydt•18h ago
I vibecoded a couple of iOS apps & a full SaaS (SEOZilla.ai) over the past six months and the honest answer is: my best coding agent sessions from 3-4 months ago would make great submissions. Excellent debugging, catching poor architecture choices, back-and-forth problem solving.

But lately? I mostly write product specs, make simple architecture decisions, and do QA. The agents just... handle it. Across the board, Opus, Sonnet, Cursor, whatever you're using, the jump in the last 2 months has been wild.

Which raises a genuine question: what is YC actually selecting for with this prompt? The most impressive sessions are probably from people using worse tools or tackling harder problems. The founders who've figured out the best workflows might have the most boring transcripts.

Anyone else finding that their "best" agent sessions are now the least interesting ones?

I don't know if even they know that they're looking for with the question as they marked it as experimental and optional but the explanation perhaps gives some hint:

"Optional: attach a coding agent session you're particularly proud of. This is an experimental question for the Spring 2026 batch to give people a chance to show off their skills with AI coding tools."

Maybe they're hoping to gain some signal around a correlation between good AI coding skills and future company success?
