Original caption

Follow me then comment "PROMPT" and I'll send you the exact prompt ⚡ This billionaire wrote the most impressive prompt I've ever seen. It actually made my Claude request a pause. Garry Tan is the CEO of Y Combinator, the accelerator behind DoorDash, Instacart, and Airbnb. His "Boil the Ocean" prompt is built on one idea: the gap between AI finishing half the task and finishing all of it is three drops of water. Here's how it works 👇 1️⃣ Paste the prompt at the start of any Claude or Claude Code session 2️⃣ It sets one standard: do the whole thing, do it right, with tests and documentation 3️⃣ It bans every AI cop-out: no "table this for later", no workarounds, no dangling threads 4️⃣ The bar stops being "good enough" and becomes "holy sh*t, that's done" What makes this insane: ✅ Claude stops half-finishing tasks and ships the complete thing ✅ Time, fatigue, and complexity are no longer accepted excuses ✅ Works in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, any AI coding tool ✅ One paragraph, pasted once, changes the whole session Why this matters: with AI, the cost of doing a task completely is almost zero. Most people still settle for half-done answers. This prompt refuses them for you. Follow me then comment "PROMPT" and I'll DM you the full prompt ⚡ #ClaudeAI #ClaudeCode #Anthropic #YCombinator #GarryTan
