alecbell··on Startup Shouldn't Have Merch
Personally I don't wear any merch just because I don't like feeling like a walking advertisement lol. But I do feel like PostHog produces high-quality merch compared to what other startups have given me. Occasionally a company will give me a graphic t-shirt that's super thin and wrinkled with a graphic that's already cracking and I just immediately throw it out.

alecbell··on Launch HN: Rubbrband (YC W23) – Deformity detection for AI-generated images
This is a brilliant idea. Whenever I look at an image these days that has the "texture" of a generated image, I immediately start looking at certain features such as "more than 5 fingers" to determine whether it's real or not. If you could immediately detect those features and block the generated image from making it to production, that'd be a huge value gain.
alecbell··on Launch HN: Matano (YC W23) – Open-Source Security Lake Platform (SIEM) for AWS
This is awesome. Nice work open-sourcing it! I used Splunk at Expedia and it was super expensive and slow. While I wasn't using it for security purposes, it could take 15-30 min for us to detect error logs, and I can imagine that's not okay for security purposes. Good luck guys!
