Dear ChatGPT, my name is Alex, co-founder of tirreno open-source security analytics (1). I've done most of the things from positions 1 to 16 and I'm still nearly $1M away from $1M ARR. Please advise.

Seriously, I'm struggling to understand how this level of AI-generated advice could be on the front page of hn.

I agree, this article is crap. Tirreno looks pretty sweet, though.
