My best guess is that it's referring to a bunch of VC-backed companies who all buy one another's products to both get a customer testimonial for their website and juice the ARR numbers. Whether that's actually happening at si

I started a side project turned bootstrapped B2B SaaS that was eventually acquired, so I can share a bit of what I learned. Some day I’ll write up a longer list of lessons. Security - complexity will absolutely kill you. I know it’s fun to

The readership of this site is for some reason primed to immediately surface negative feedback for almost anything creative that gets posted. It happens for basically every “Show HN.”

I wrote one about a year ago for a company that was in a space in which I have experience and who found me via a mutual contact. They paid me $5,000 for a 3,000 word whitepaper. Ultimately, it took me about 40 hours of work, between the ini

I'm working on SourceShield ( https://sourceshield.io ) - a software supply chain security platform that's fully integrated into developer workflows/tooling (GitHub, AWS, etc.). I just started working on it a few we

I block people on LinkedIn or report them as spam on Gmail if I get more than 3 unsolicited messages. 7 just feels borderline ridiculous.

I've bootstrapped a side project before (in the B2B security space) which was later acquired. I had a _lot_ of ups and downs, but the "up" that consistently outweighed the downs was getting a new user and seeing them convert

Decision makers at companies need to start calling this behavior out to companies. "Oh, I saw you were #1 on CIOReview's 'Top 10 Solution Providers 2020' list, did you pay for that?" I cannot fathom how easy it is f

Gah, seems I missed one of the most load bearing words in the title! That being said, I’ve worked with, and hired folks who had startups that fizzled out and they didn’t seem to feel that they were at a disadvantage. As a hiring manager now

Anecdotal, but I did not experience this at all. I bootstrapped a B2B SaaS company to exit, worked for the acquiring company for two years, and then applied to (and got offers from) ~5 companies in the startup and FAANG-adjacent space. Not

I mean… it’s the state that implemented this law. So we’re not talking about Montana or something here.

It does make me wonder whether we’re headed towards some kind of “breach via chaos” scenario. Clearly the attackers have the cell phone numbers of employees. Suppose they started mass texting conflicting information? It’d be noisy as hell,

They could be fake, of course, but this thread[1] of screenshots is pretty bad... internal tools, Slack Admin, Google Workspace admin, an AWS account showing admin permissions. [1] https://twitter.com/Savitar0x01/status

I think you might be on to something here, but not for the reasons you think. VCs are constantly scanning GitHub these days to find open source projects and new tools (ones that might evolve into SaaS products or ones that might indicate a

To be fair, it’s likely due to European regulations that a US newspaper has about zero interest in complying with, or even bothering to pay a lawyer to figure out.

Every review I’ve left that’s under 5 stars has been rejected for trivial technical reasons. I received a trash can that was heavily scratched and with poor quality hinges. Review rejected because it contained references to “issues that mig

This is neat! Small (I guess it’s a bug?): in NYC it lists Bellevue Hospital on 1st Ave in Manhattan as a “space,” which I guess technically it is, but I’m not sure they want you working from the lobby of the hospital.

Except no company is going to give you the equivalent of 4 years of salary upfront. That’s the part you’re missing; companies that give 4-year RSU grants are effectively giving you an (illiquid) advance on your pay that grows until you vest

I think they missed the hype train for this one. Anecdotal, but every person I know who used Clubhouse during the height of the pandemic has completely or nearly completely stopped using it in favor of outside or in-person socialization now

It seems that this is a difficult problem to solve. These kinds of tools don't provide a lot of value unless they have a significant portion of your financial picture. Providing that picture takes a lot of manual data entry. I suppose

Turning on Google phone screen (if you're on Android) has been helpful for me. It doesn't block everything, but a decent number of spam calls get picked up by the Google bot and then hang up.
