# gstack

> "I don't think I've typed like a line of code probably since December, basically, which is an extremely large change." — [Andrej Karpathy](https://fortune.com/2026/03/21/andrej-karpathy-openai-cofounder-ai-agents-coding-state-of-psychosis-openclaw/), No Priors podcast, March 2026

When I heard Karpathy say this, I wanted to find out how. How does one person ship like a team of twenty? Peter Steinberger built [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) — 247K GitHub stars — essentially solo with AI agents. The revolution is here. A single builder with the right tooling can move faster than a traditional team.
When I heard this, I had one question:

I'm [Garry Tan](https://x.com/garrytan), President & CEO of [Y Combinator](https://www.ycombinator.com/). I've worked with thousands of startups — Coinbase, Instacart, Rippling — when they were one or two people in a garage. Before YC, I was one of the first eng/PM/designers at Palantir, cofounded Posterous (sold to Twitter), and built Bookface, YC's internal social network.
**How does one person ship like a team of twenty?**

**gstack is my answer.** I've been building products for twenty years, and right now I'm shipping more code than I ever have. In the last 60 days: **600,000+ lines of production code** (35% tests), **10,000-20,000 lines per day**, part-time, while running YC full-time. Here's my last `/retro` across 3 projects: **140,751 lines added, 362 commits, ~115k net LOC** in one week.
Peter Steinberger answered part of it with OpenClaw — ~250k stars — built essentially solo using AI agents. That’s not a fluke. It’s a shift.

The revolution isn’t coming. It’s already here.

## What is gstack?

**gstack is my answer.**

I’ve been building products for 20+ years. Right now, I’m shipping faster than I ever have before.

In the last 60 days:

* **600,000+ lines of production code**
* **35% test coverage**
* **10k–20k LOC per day**
* All while running YC full-time

Last week alone:

* **140,751 lines added**
* **362 commits**
* **~115k net LOC**

This is not normal.

## The Idea

A single builder — with the right stack — can now outperform entire teams.

gstack is an opinionated system for:

* AI-assisted coding
* rapid iteration
* high-output solo building

It’s not just tools.

It’s a **way of working**.

---

## Why this exists

Startups used to scale by hiring.

Now they scale by **leverage**.

The best founders are becoming:

* product thinkers
* system designers
* AI orchestrators

gstack is built for that future.

---

## Contributing

If you’re experimenting with:

* AI agents
* high-velocity coding workflows
* unconventional dev setups

You’re in the right place.

PRs welcome.

## TL;DR

**One person.
One stack.
Unfair speed.**
