Getting “literally who” vibes from the list of execs that were listed with a job title but not a company name. Mobile browser, if that makes a difference (maybe one of the people on the list helped me downsize as well at some point without me realizing it).

thats a bug. thanks for flagging. The company name is there but gets cut off on mobile. Will fix the layout.

I think one of the interesting things here is that many senior executives make similar base pay to very senior ICs. The primary compensation difference is in their equity compensation, where executives get massive PSU/RSU packages, while senior ICs get much more modest packages. A senior IC may have 30-50% of their compensation as stock, while a typical senior executives may have as much as 97% of their compensation…

I think this is a good thing? At least from the perspective of aligning incentives with shareholders?

No. It encourages short term thinking which can boost profits whilst harming long term performance. As an insider you can usually hide the long term consequences until after you have liquidated your stock.

You can also check any signal from publicly available sources using tools like CatchAll.

For example, "CEO and CFO appointments at US public companies in the last two weeks" found 142 records [0]

You can also set up monitors to get updates.

The site fails to load...it just gets stuck in a fetching state. Another downside of vibe programming.

That idea is actually a perfect example for a good use of vibe coding. It was just an idea first, now it’s a decent website to test the viability of the idea. I don’t think it was intended for anything else than so if there is real demand for this.

I lost you on the "decent website" part. OP's whole point is that the site isn't working. Lol

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Agreed, the big providers like Bloomberg cover this space with way more depth. I'm building for the teams that can't justify those budgets (small sales teams, independent recruiters, solo advisors)

What’s the value add though? This could be vibe coded out in a couple hours of coding and some more incremental time to process historical filings. And I don’t mean this in a negative way simply that this is just a 30min UI around a 1 hour LLM data pipeline.

Totally fair. The value is just that it's built and working, you get the data in real time without having to set anything up yourself.

It's definitely vibecodeable but there's a decent amount of edge cases and ongoing maintenance that add up. I'm sure an actual engineer could do it way better. I just wanted the product, couldn't find one at a reasonable price, so I built it.

What would also be very interesting is a graph of relationships and movements. Let's see just how incestuous the boards really are, and what's going on with serial CEOs who move from one business to the next.

Interesting idea...tracking which execs move together or which board members overlap across companies. Maybe in next turn

Great proof of concept!

At the top it says:

> 2,100+ > CEO, CFO, Board, and other executive changes tracked in the past 30 days

Could you add a little metric there such as how many companies are being tracked, and perhaps how that compares to the previous 30 days, or 6 months ago, or 12 months ago?

Maybe a graph showing how many changes happen each month, so we can see when things are more volatile or not.
