SOTA Wives @SOTAwives 6d

The third SOTA wife has entered the chat, and this one is fresh off his exit at Anthropic.

Sarah (Head of DevX at Cerebras, @MilksandMatcha) and Vivian (GP at Y Combinator, @vivianmshen) sit down with @trq212 right after his last day at Anthropic.

What was supposed to be a quiet start to his funemployment era turned into getting outed on Twitter, CEOs in his DMs, and a next-day debrief on the pod.

01:16 Meet the third member: leaving Anthropic
03:15 YC's COVID batch
05:17 Over-raising and shutting down Multiverse
08:58 Toronto, Bay Area high schools and raising kids
12:39 First impressions of SF and tech Twitter
18:32 Going viral with Claude Code content
20:26 Why Anthropic, and idolizing the labs
22:33 Can startups survive the labs?
29:53 Labs as Hogwarts houses, and friendly rivals
35:21 Honeypots, spies and the apocalypse

Before joining Anthropic, @trq212 spent 6 years building a video game company and going through YC.

From the outside, joining a top lab can look like a lottery ticket to career acceleration, money, and network. What’s harder to see is the years of work that made someone worth hiring in the first place.

We may have underestimated the situation

Luckily, we're not important enough to be honeypotted

Is Anthropic a Ravenclaw or a Hufflepuff?

Vivian said Ravenclaw. @trq212, ex-Anthropic, made the case for Hufflepuff: earnest, hardworking, and more about the work than the thought leadership.

What side would you pick?

SOTA Wives @SOTAwives Nov 4

We adopted an ex-Anthropic engineer as our third wife.

This week, @trq212 joins @vivianmshen and @MilksandMatcha right after his last day at Anthropic.

From returning what was left of his Series A, to cross-lab friendships and why tech Twitter parties are overrated (ours excluded, of course).

Dropping tomorrow across all platforms. Episode 2 sneak peek below:
