Curious to learn more. How well does file system work? At what scale are you operating? Do you see it scaling well into the future for your needs? It seems local file system is the…

Good write up - I think a lot of peoples journeys (at least my own) is completions api --> responses --> deeper into the tech. How useful have you found the Agents SDK? Meaning the…

Agreed, are you doing anything to take advantage of cacheing? Anything else you can share about project?

Generally curious how folks are using LLM APIs today. Are folks doing anything bespoke, unique or different? I think we've seen a lot of usage with harnesses, CLIs, Cursor/Windsurf…

I do see glimpses of lawsuits here and there on these guys. They all seem to just be flybys on the news to never appear again. Maybe something is happening and the resolution doesn…

There for sure is something to be said about higher performers being high performers wherever/whatever role they're into. There is a large degree of luck but an even bigger degree …

Very relevant, I think a lot of stuff in tech is romanticized, even things like doing a start up or getting into YC. We hear about the massive successes that the normal/median kind…

Appreciate and grateful for your kind words :) Happy to hear of your success as an example of what makes this industry motivating. You are correct my idea is infrastructure atop of…

I have been conservative forever from a financial perspective. I feel comfortable enough to be out of W2 for a year or two. but there is a real opportunity cost to leaving a w2 and…

Insanely difficult and borderline idiotic to ignore what you've stated. Difficult to know where we are on the curve and what will happen next. I think there are a lot of similariti…

I agree and appreciate it. I am starting to figure out having a network and going into an idea would move things 10x or 100x faster, both from a success or failure route. You'd wan…

Appreciate the post and thank you! I think for me and the idea I saw a fundamental shift in the experience chatGPT provided once it was able to remember cross/post chat things. The…

> Honestly, getting VC cash does not look like the challenge it used to be. Having never jumped in this pool, don't know if I would sink or swim here - but it does seem to be the c…

Not in big tech, but comfortable 250k in mid-teir expense remote suburb. The opportunity cost is real and something to truly be factored in. Something I can probably replace after …

I agree - not having a network to vet the idea is possibly the easiest part to have. It means I dont have the network for sales like you said, the network to raise funding, the net…

Appreciate the message. I think this is the most practical advice to follow until there is an event/time to fully disconnect from the W2. I'd love to hear/learn more about your jou…

I am naturally extremely conservative. Part of the dilemma is maybe seek promotions at work or stay at same level and build side project. I think doing something like this is very …

Agree and fairly practical advice and one that comes up frequently when watching videos on yc founders etc. I think another thing I'd like to point out is that it isn't necessarily…

Good advice - appreciate it

I agree and good advice. Being so new to this and not having a network to bounce ideas off of or even try the app makes that part difficult to go from 0 to 1 for me personally. Whi…

I agree that users (hell even 1 real user) would be motivating and validating from an idea perspective. May I ask how long it took you to find your first user? and the path you too…

I want to ask HN because it feels this community is more tech oriented then most out there. I have been building an idea for the past couple of months, I think it is a good idea, i…
