alt Hacker NewsI had ran into another yc startup from the same batch doing the same thing recently. I think it was called maritime.
YC batch are becoming more like hunger games.
I know a few companies where this is just a feature like digitalocean it is just a feature.

I'd be curious to see stats on overlap among startups by batch historically. My impression is that this has always been a thing. Based on where the market/technology horizon currently is, there are some buckets that are very "startup shaped". Founders who are iterating on ideas using similar criteria will often end up in the same proximity, especially in an accelerator environment. But it would be extremely interesting to see if this has become more prevalent over time, or at least since the explosion in the AI market.
Yeah its a race to the bottom as ai can vibe code any infra now
hahaha, I suppose it is becoming a bit like hunger games, haha. I was genuinely surprised to see how much overlap there was in the batch across startups.
