Saddens me that there are not many mechanical hardware companies from any YC year/season and this year is no exception.
I have to admit that I'm missing the take-over-the-world/crazy-moonshot kind of company among the entries. I appreciate that Y-Combinator is a commercial institution with commercial goals and that personalized daily vitamin packs, better SaaS conversion and AI-powered programming are all sensible iterations on existing themes - but wouldn't there have been space for at least one next-gen Googe/Space X/Hyperloop sort…

They don't announce all companies from the batch, only the ones that are ready to go "public".

I was really fascinated by this as well. I think it's a great idea. Where does the 15 hours/per developer/per week come from. Couldn't find more information about that anywhere on your website.
Before I started Optic I watched 20 developers code for 1 day each. I kept logs of what they were working on and asked people to rate how they felt throughout the process. The 15/hrs/wk is a rough estimate of what we could automate. Our most avid users over the last month self report a little less but I think once we add better support for a few more things we’ll catch up. I never thought to publish those results. So…
Cutting edge biotech and a mac n cheese company in the same list. Wow.
If only they combined their tech... they could become more powerful than anyone could possibly imagine.

It's seems very interesting, but to be honest after watching the demo video, most of the thing "automated" (I don't see any AI here) are related to poor practices... Some other features seems interesting, let's see how the product evolve.
Hey, founder here, thanks for checking us out. The demo video is a couple months old and since then we've gotten much closer to figuring out the best use cases after talking to users. Do you have any suggestions on the use cases you'd like to see the 'interesting features' put towards? This is definitely the kind of product that takes several iterations to get right so thank you for following our journey.
I'd like to have a two-way sync between business logic code and a flow chart for documentation.

I interviewed, I've talked to several other robotics companies that interviewed for S18. Absolutely dumbfounded that none of them made it, some of these in the batch seem like they could never be worth $10b.
