  Scott Wu is the co-founder of Cognition AI, one of the fastest-growing companies in history. He's also the greatest competitive programmer the US has ever produced. You may have seen him doing impossible card tricks and mental math. You've never seen him asked about weed, [image]

  Good old days: This was my daily POV when stepping out of my bedroom for the ~1.5 years we had our company house. It was nice to sleep in until 1 min before standup and I miss the 10 second daily commute of going down the stairs. We loved the energy of “hanging out & working [ima…

  I spoke for 3 hours with competitive math champion and prophet of AI agents Scott Wu, who handled my insistent wordcel questions with aplomb, and whose depth of fellow feeling proves that he (and we) are not just computers made of meat

  “The greatest competitive programmer the US has ever produced” 🎯 Scott's a legend, and I'm proud to call him a friend after he worked with us @Addepar. Don't try to beat him at mental math. @8VC was an early backer of his in his next two ventures. Cognition continues to excel.

  The biggest ROI move you can make in parenting is to have your child study for competitive math and programming from a young age > Scott Wu, founder of Cognition AI. 3x gold medalist at the International Olympics of Informatics (IOI) > Alexandr Wang, founder of Scale AI.

  .@ScottWu46 giving me, @mvernal & @pranavreddy a pre-launch Devin demo in the living room of a weird house in Palo Alto will forever be etched in my memory. Read this @colossusmag profile on Scott, the special team @cognition, and predicting the future https://x.com/...

  You should work with people who are better than you conceive possible. Not only Scott, but several of the team members at Cognition have expanded my understanding of the skill ceiling [image]

  Wow we got some Cog house pics in this article! We had a lot of fun there. Wish I had taken more pics, but here are some random small moments: - We found we could fit 3 people on the pull up bar in the basement gym - @Mokshit06 and I had a midnight water tasting one late night in…

  Excellent write up by @colossusmag on @ScottWu46 from @cognition Scott was one of the earliest members @southpkcommons and his story is one of a kind. https://colossus.com/...

  Scott Wu solved a Putnam problem in 90 seconds. beat Mango at Melee. raised from Peter Thiel over chess. I beat him at N64 Smash once. nobody's writing a Colossus piece about it, but I'd like it in the record. [image]

  I've worked with @ScottWu46 for almost a year now and the one big takeaway is you don't want to be off on any math, he will catch it That being said, he's also very thoughtful and has to be decisive on a lot of key day to day things, he's a really unique individual and this
