I open-sourced a YC Company because no one is hiring grad for devs
- blckprl367 2y agoYes, you heard that right — I open-sourced a YC company. It was mostly out of sheer desperation. Landing a job as a recent grad these days feels harder than escaping Alcatraz. I came across a YC company called SpurTest on the Lightcone podcast. They were working on AI-driven QA testing using natural language, and I found it fascinating. So, I decided to build an open-source version — Neutrino. I created an AI web agent from scratch using step prompting in a Playwright browser. It simulates how a human would interact with a website to generate end-to-end tests, all driven by natural language. It’s been a super fun project so far. This is just v1 — still rough in some areas, but fully working. Right now, I'm experimenting with efficient step-mark prompting technique to make it smarter and faster. I'm also considering fine-tuning Qwen 2.5 VL 7B for reduced cost and better performance down the line. https://github.com/Prasanna721/neutrino-test https://github.com/Prasanna721/neutrino-test Come on critize, roast or even suggest
- rvz 2y agoYou are on the right path. Make a habit out of destroying some of these “companies” and compete against them with that. Make their entire business your side project and race them to zero
- toomuchtodo 2y agoShould be a “Show HN”, keep building!
- blckprl367 2y agothanks
- gus_massa 2y agoYou mae a clone, you didn't open source it. My suggestion is to post this again in a few days with a title like: Show HN: Open souce alternative to SpurTest or just drop the comparison, because SpurTest is not so famous Show HN: Neutrino Test is an AI-powered QA platform that automates end-to-end testing Also, the repo has no license, so it's not "open source". Choose a licence carefully.
