Congrats team! Really enjoyed the warts and all video - those fly-away moments remind me of my first drone flights :D Are you mostly software stack focused or designing lots of hardware too?

Super interesting. I need to give it a proper read through with fresh eyes! I just posted a Show HN re my graph storage for research chat sessions - curious on your thoughts!

Really awesome and thoughtful thing you've built - bravo! I'm so aligned on your take on context engineering / context management. I found the default linear flow of conversation turns really frustrating and limiting. In fact

This is cool - I’ll definitely give it a try. Re the patent of voice control, does it really sound defendable? That sounds a bit too obvious to be patentable at the level of “observe speaker’s speech and adjust text accordingly”, I’d have t

I love the premise and I felt that a lot in SF. The transport system is not really a complex enough network that I need to be shown routing options. Just wanted to know when to leave the house and not stand at the stop for 20 minutes :’( (I

Do you do extra spam filtering? I see the advantage of not always giving out my email (I use Apple relay sometimes) but ultimately, a thing that routes to my email is another avenue for spam (until I kill that route).

Clay is expensive for sure. To clarify, it’s more of a data enrichment tool than a sequencing tool.

Does WP actually provide (1) any more? I built my first personal (photog) website on WP about 10 years ago and it was ideal. I went to do a simple website this year and WP is web builder framework inception - it’s web builders all the way d

I had mixed feelings until I read the quote “better not to waste the credit”. That attitude rubs me up the wrong way for (a) a take what you need if/when you need it type perk and (b) someone being paid 400k. I wouldn’t want to employ

Do you have an ICP in mind right now? Reason I ask, is that while hyper scaler to hyper scaler makes sense and I can see that being easy to digest and therefore valuable to many, many enterprises are actually making more complicated trade o

I think a lot about software for productivity (my own niche obsession is note taking / retrieval). How much do you see this as a people problem? Specifically, I think there’s something usefully weighty about manual friction in defining

No question here, but love to see this, having been the grateful recipient of your support in the past, Peter! Thanks again. (Peter is awesome!)

Ahah. Totally missed that, I will admit. I gratefully accept the pun and will be using it even more going forward. If you're willing to chat on the technical details of that notebook, we'd love to. Of course, if you're hoping

Apologies, for all the thought put in to balancing conciseness with completeness, that was a bad miss. Right now we are focusing on Go and Java. We're flexible on logging libraries - if you have strong prefs here, we'd love to ge

Thanks! Yeah, we're finding a lot of interest from small teams who want to move fast without accumulating tech debt / creating a negative trend between customer count an reliability as they start to find traction themselves. Want

Thanks for the support, it means a lot to us! It would be a dream to see our products working together in the near future. Here's to a high-context future of debugging :)

The folk at Patched are doing great work - they are our YC batch mates! Alas, we cannot take credit for that write-up, sadly, nor answer the question re their source code. We are getpatchwork.io / Patchwork Technologies. Thanks for the

Thanks for pointing this one out, we weren't aware it could do that. Do you use those features yourself? We think it's an important enough problem that there's room for multiple people to be solving it, but very curious to he

Glad to hear that resonates. Goes without saying that we get the best reception with people who've literately done manual surges on this. Speaking from experience?

Going to double tap my own reply here and come back to the OTel peice. Do you find there's a lot of effort required in adding attributes to spans through your code? A lot of people we speak to who are all-in on tracing are (we think) g

We're thinking alike. While we're iterating with customers, we're also thinking about how we can use it to contribute beneficially to projects (and in doing so prove it works reliably). One thing we are keeping a list of is p

Thanks for flagging that one. It has turned out to be a very busy namespace. We're focusing on making sure the product sticks first... then figuring out if the name needs changing is a good problem to have! :D

Thanks for catching this and providing the feedback. We're iterating very hard to make sure the fixes are indeed always fixes! I won't waste the chance to engage a logging connoisseur – could you see yourself using this if the hit

Understood. The landing page so far is taking a back seat relative to making the product better for our early customers, which I'm sure you can appreciate. We hope to open source components of the product. In the mean time are there sp

Structured/JSON saves a tonne of time building regex parsers. The regex parsing at query-time is also pretty expensive. This is where Splunk excels - dealing with the noise with powerful querying. ClickHouse is also very performant at
