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 default for most folks starting out. I am curious to know w

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 SDK taking care of sessions, chat history etc. is tha

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

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't make the headline. I think Facebook has been a shell

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 of execution involved. Part of the dilemma is woul

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 of disappears and is ignored. I think from an odds per

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 current LLM technologies. Competitors exist and it may be t

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 jumping into an idea like this. Plus the fears that you sta

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 similarities and parallels to those times happening now, maybe ev

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 want to get to both as quickly as possible. I think what p

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 APIs do not have this offering and are pretty bare, so

> 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 case that a good story will get funding. I do like to

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 this endeavor but it would require a lifestyle change (movin

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 network to build upon what I already have. Not wrong there.

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 journey. From a 0-1 build mindset but also going

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 much high risk/high reward. Part of the challenge (albe

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 'quit your job' as it can also be &#x27

Good advice - appreciate it

by Mnexium 4mo ago
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. While I agree that competition exists and it is validating that

by Mnexium 4mo ago
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 took to find said user(s)?

Makes sense. For curiosity's sake, have you had it try to attempt captchas? If so, what were the results?

by Mnexium 7mo ago
I generally am curious too - Im running into a similar issue with my tool build. Difficult just to get feedback. This seems like a cool project, I dont have a ticketing system otherwise i'd try it.

Curious - how does it perform with captchas and other "are you human" stuff on the web?

Would love to hear more. New entrants being folks outside the model providers themselves? I do think the database layer can be decoupled from the memory/creation layer

Im probably less worried about "AI Powered autonomous weaponry" in the near term and think its probably easier to imagine more human-remote-controlled scenarios of robotics. Meaning todays drones in warfare are still flown by huma
