I was using Context back when it was still Brand.dev. I found it to be a great product- one of those rare APIs that immediately made a problem I had disappear. Had it in production within an hour of signing up

Agents need clean/current context from the web, and this is the best way I’ve found to give it to them. The internet is clearly moving in this direction: companies are starting to realize their sites need to be legible to agents. Some are already adapting but many haven’t yet. Context feels like an important part of that transition

Yahia is a great builder. His pace of expansion has been impressive, excited to see where he takes Context.

Exactly right. Climbers care a lot about the ethics of an ascent. It’s interesting how much those ethics have changed over the history of the sport.

One of the core ideas is that later climbers should respect or improve upon the style of the first ascensionist. e.g. if a climb was first done using siege tactics, then doing it in a single day is celebrated. But making a climb easier or safer after the fact is much more controversial, because it can feel like changing the nature of the route itself.

Snake Dike is a good example that’s flared up recently in the climbing world. It’s a classic, relatively easy route up Half Dome, and many climbers free solo it. But because it’s a face climb, protection mostly comes from bolts drilled into the rock. The first ascensionist placed very few bolts, which left long runouts and real consequences if you fall.

To many old school climbers, adding bolts to Snake Dike is disrespectful because the risk is part of the route’s character. Their view is basically: don’t bring the mountain down to your level. The new generation of climbers don’t seem to feel that way at all - they think you shouldn’t have to take unnecessary risk to climb a classic route.

I like this - I think you're not too far off of what's popular these days though. I think similar functionality can be achieved by using the "hook" functionality in claude code / codex.

I use a bike to get around SF the majority of the time as well. But lately I've been switching it up and using a skateboard for short trips. Riding the bike definitely isn't 'impractical', but the skateboard is so much less of a hassle.

You don't have to bother carrying a lock (or walk to the corner to find the nearest pole to lock it to for that matter). And, don't tell my Mom, but not fiddling with a helmet and lights is huge too.
