Note: This may not work on students

You don't need that stuff for setting up a company, I've only come across those if we are going through due diligence with a (B2B) client.

In a sea of AI products, the brand is still powerful though. Would I have clicked this if not for the Midjourney name? Probably not

As in the changes its made? You can do that on Claude Code but by having it do it on a worktree and just checking out that worktree. Then you can see the change file(s) in your preferred IDE

My mum doesn't know how to use a cli.

I'm afraid it's not available as it wasn't published. To be honest there wasn't much more than what I posted there, it was quite a practical thesis and really more of a market analysis and practical implementation of a potential consumer product.

Currently doing a different startup, but certainly an idea for a future one.

Unfortunately no, as most uni students my code was utterly terrible and the app itself was more of a PoC. This was 10 years ago though and it's been on my mind since then, so i'll surely pick it up some point, perhaps after my current start up.

My masters thesis was on this! I created an app where you can store your data across all the common data storage providers (dropbox, google drive, onedrive, etc.) and used the secret sharing to aid with the encryption. The benefit was that:

- They could no longer read your data

- Additional redundancy (as you only need 2 to be available)

- Compared to other secure storage apps which rely on a master password, which if you forget, you are screwed, you could still use all the usual account recovery methods.

Likely the person didn't know they were part of YC (I didn't).

because there isn't one and people still paid for it.

My clients demand one, so there is one.

Why can code even go in with breaking tests? They shouldn't even have the power to do that.

Do a lot of people know that Prism is the name of the program? I certainly didn't and consider myself fairly switched on in general

I sure hope they're not pretending to be police considering they kill about ~1,200 people/year in the US (compared to about two in the UK).

I'm assuming they're asking for large in terms of complexity, not in terms of popularity.

I agree they shouldn't become outcasts, but it feels disingenuous to say that the reason for wanting to work for palantir is anything but "they wanted A LOT of money".

If they're good enough to be hired to palantir as an engineer, I very much doubt at any point they were desperate.

For me personally, it's certainly been an iterative process. I like to think of focus as any other habit that I want to form, so from that:

- Schedule time for it

- Understand that I will have slip ups and that's okay

- Make it hard to do the bad things (in this case, I have domain blockers to stop me redditing, I move my phone to another room etc.)

- Make it enjoyable. For me it's finding a particular energetic DJ set and just bopping along while I do the focused work.

And so on.

Gotcha. And then how does that translate into the audit process? Because Vanta/Drata have auditors they work with regularly, there's a bit of an incentive on both sides to use these templates because then it speeds up that part tremendously. I can't imagine the auditors being happy about really diving into hyper bespoke documents for every audit.

Your product seems great for actually doing the spirit of these frameworks (reducing risk, improving controls and processes etc.). However from what I've seen the reality of these audits is it's a box ticking exercise for everyone involved, and so improving the efficiency there tends to be the goal. How do you position yourself in that?

Also hope this doesn't come off too critical, it's just something I've been through recently and love seeing new things! I'd definitely add a vanta/drata comparison to your website though as that is inevitable.

What's the USP over something like Vanta/Drata (aside the cost being much lower currently)?

If you have no real traffic, what complex things are you doing that even require such tools?

I'm astonished how many people have a) constant production access on their machine and b) allow a non-deterministic process access to it

Their problem was that they didn't look like normal sunglasses, so people were immediately intrigued/suspicious of them. Although these have the little light if you're recording, the amount of instagram videos where creators are using these and the random people they're directly talking to don't notice, should tell you all.

The rise of smart accessories (especially watches) should tell you that a lot of people don't want to disconnect

If you use something like an OpenAPI generator and want to have different DTOs in your version 2, then you cannot do what you suggested.

In this case it's not about being able to use the product at all, but the joy from using an incredibly fast and responsive product, which therefore you want to use local-first.

When I was at university, I went to a talk from a security researcher who found this was the case with credit cards.

I didn't know places still had quarterly releases. That seems to like the one to resolve rather than a mono repo.

Yeah agreed - does anyone really care for $4/month?

You could say the same about Google, where there's an entire generation who no longer needed to trawl through encyclopedias to find relevant information. I think we're doing just fine.

I think the question is why rather than physically how. Surely that amount of tabs is useless because you'll have duplicates, irrelevant things, etc.

I've had a few people chuck the entire problem into ChatGPT, it was still very much useful in a few ways:

- You get to see how they then review the generated code, do they spot potential edge cases which the AI missed? - When I ask them to make a change not in the original spec, a lot of them completely shut down because they either didn't understand the code generated well enough, or they themselves didn't really know how to code.

And you still get to see people who _do_ know how to use AI well, which at this point is a must for its overall productivity benefits.
