1. LOL! Sorry! Volume is tricky to get right. I'll fix this with my next video.
2. Agree 100%! Second bots are becoming more sophisticated, but the truth is I am still pretty early. The video on this post, and on the website, is actually about a month old. I had planned on making an updated video with more interesting scenarios, but I ran out of time! I will have an updated video within the next two weeks. I also need to show screenshots of sample outputs, agree 100%
3. Defensibility - I wouldn't say this can be too easily copied. I am building custom compilers at the feature level (the high level plan), compilers for individual files, and piecing this together with GPT-3 queries on the code base, and using GPT-3 to generate new files, and modify files. Other than that, that's all I got!
4. You are 100% right. If Second becomes just a really fancy starter kit, it won't be a great business. However, I have found that my early customers do not know all of the features that they need up front, and tend to configure features in second, and then do a lot of BE work and some tweaks, and then do another feature a few days later. So I think Second can be integrated into a normal product delivery workflow. Also, I plan to add other capabilities like AI code reviews, and auto upgrades and maintenance via bots
- immortalloom 4y agoAlso about being a solo founder. It's rough!
- satvikpendem 4y agoHow was it like applying and getting in as a solo founder? I'm thinking of applying to YC solo as well so would appreciate any feedback or tips.
- tmshu1 4y agoYou got this! Second looks really cool. Fellow solo founder here, definitely going to try it out
- immortalloom 4y agoThanks! Let me know if you need anything, always happy to help fellow founders in anyway that I can
- mritchie712 4y agoI know solo founder is #1 on this list, but fights between founders is #17, so we're in the clear on that one. http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html
- immortalloom 4y agoTrust me, I know alllll about co-founder conflict.
- swyx 4y agonah man fix the video now you are on hn front page and it takes you all of 5 mins to record a loom
- immortalloom 4y agoLol you're not wrong. BUT I do want to take my time with the video. I might be slower than you – it would probably take me an hour+ to tweak it, and find a better song.
- lawrencechen 4y agoJust don't add background music :)
