We've been experimenting with various browser use tools that are out in the wild. They all promise the same thing...natural language prompting for browser use automation. Ignoring the typical challenges around Auth,…

I don't know if we're ready to pull the trigger yet, but curious if other folks are looking at alternatives. The WAF is great, but recent events have made it obvious that having a single point of failure entirely…

OAuth has been officially part of the MCP spec for a few weeks. But so far, I haven't seen any examples of it in the wild. Wondering if anyone has done this, or knows of any documentation that is actually decent on how…

I am looking for a way for User 1 to share their browser (our app) view with User 2. There are a handful of solutions out there like cobrowse.io, samesurf.com, etc but they are all marketed as CX tools and priced per…

I'm hoping there is a guide or tutorial out there for someone like me. I'm an experienced software engineer, mostly backend. I have a general understanding of how AI works, and have used all the various tools (ChatGPT,…

Hoping to get some feedback/ideas from the community. Working at an early stage enterprise startup. The product is primarily a web app (rails/react). We're getting ready to launch to our beta customers, and have a…

We've seen the wrappers, we've seen the chatbots, we've seen the blog post generators. Is anyone doing anything they think is more interesting?

I am looking for feedback on this model of SaaS deployment. I provide you with a way to easily deploy my software into your AWS. I collect an annual license fee (call it $500) for ongoing maintenance and updates, you…

I was just browsing through the "Who got hired?" thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36160198) and it caused me to think about all of the things that happened in my real life due to HN. In 2012 I was hired from…

I’ve been with the same large tech co since 2017, and several others before that. We went fully remote in March 2020, so now it’s been > 3 years. We’ve shipped stuff, hired people, re-orged, etc. But we really put very…

I don’t have any specific idea or anything. I’m mainly wondering who, if anyone, is building “general purpose” AI tools designed to be used by other companies in their products. What’s currently out there? Where should…

As the years go by and my family gets larger, the task of managing the budget and cashflow has grown in complexity and my trusty ol' spreadsheet is feeling a little inadequate. I'm looking for some advice/ideas on how…

Hoping someone with some architectural knowledge of Chromium can jump in here. I am mainly asking out of curiosity, as other browsers don't seem to suffer from memory bloat in the same order of magnitude. So, what is it…

Like many of us, I’m in a battle to minimize social media and related apps influence over my life. But I’m not at a point where I want to just toss my phone in the corner and forget about it either. I’m looking for some…

Over the years I've been writing notes, documents, articles mainly for myself. But as I get older and further in my career I'm realizing there's probably value in sharing these with other folks...but I don't know the…

Obviously this will very wildly, but it seems like something has changed in this landscape over the last 5-10 years. It used to be common knowledge that founders/founding engineers would take a measly salary in exchange…

For small projects/teams, things like Heroku and Fly.io seem to work great. For enormous teams staffed with DevOps engineers, AWS and GCP offer an enormous suite of low level tools to build with. What is happening in…
