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

Another downside of AI is that people for whom today is obviously their first day using the internet will buy into the AI culture war without restraint and blame every little thing under the sun on “AI”. I can assure you that message boards were bringing websites down since before you were born.

Interesting, you should save part of the data to do some caching and avoid api requests for old positions.

Thank you for the suggestion

Look now that the site loads, is it a bit sketchy that you are asking 50 dollars subscription, one can't even navigate the site a bit without subscribing. You don't even have a working and tested product and already want to make money.

Fun project but meh on subscription. This data already exists in much better detail including full network graphs of people and many additional data points. Financial data is a hard problem because it’s not only hard to offer something new but also your only real consumer unless novel data is going to be retail.

You hit on something that AI can be really good at, which is shining light on corporate activities. Salary and movement are great, and interesting, but this could also help parse things like entry and exits into business markets where companies often quietly add or remove things from their filings. Keep going.

I agree with you, site also looks too much a one day vibecoded stuff. Can you give me references where I can these graphs of people, I am interested because I am working on something similar.

you are absolutely right - filings have a ton of signals beyond just the exec changes. Market entries, risk factor changes, material agreements. Lot of room to expand.

Sites going down under load is hardly a new phenomenon.

Sure, it's not new. Neither are memory leaks and race conditions...but we still expect competent engineers to avoid them. It's like opening a store but the doors jam the moment customers walk in. A crowd isn't the problem, your setup is.

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)
