This moment from WWDC 2013 when Craig Federighi poked fun at Bump was a not-insignificant motivation I carried for years to make sure Google Photos continually smoked Apple Photos. And it's nice hearing ppl still call it "bumping" on their copycat, more than a decade later.

10 years ago today, I was benchmarking the load time of the early prototype of Google Photos vs Apple Photos. By launch it was just as fast 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Hit Christmas gift this year: Stickerbox. Press button, describe something, AI generates an image and prints on a sticker. Great product design. We’ve printed hundreds of stickers so far. Made by one of my YC Summer 2009 batchmates!

Bump was acquired by Google 10 years ago! Never-before-seen footage of us officially approving the Bump acquisition on a board call with Sequoia and a16z. Who knew that our unreleased pivot project called Photoroll would end up serving billions (of users and $)?!

I've been telling my story of how we turned Bump into Google Photos to new YC founders at the start of each batch. I hope sharing it more broadly inspires even a few founders to go build the future for all the rest of us. Full video in the replies.

This is how startups beat incumbents. Google has 100s of people technically responsible for Nest Hub + Assistant, and yet I bet none are incentivized to make this great. OpenAI probably has a few people who care deeply about quality and obsess over this.
