don't stop working on this!!

Our latest offering is designed around a modular, customizable platform, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and a simplified billing approach. Think of it as crafting custom production homes for your apps, where you only pay for the raw resources you use - namely compute, storage, bandwidth, with the platform engineering and security essentials on the house.

I am curious: Does our value proposition resonate with anyone? Is the idea of a "same price, more benefit" model, where we match your current cloud bill for added advantages, compelling enough?

Any feedback is invaluable for us at this stage, not just for refining our approach but for shaping an execution we are hoping genuinely meets a developer's needs.

For those interested, we’re offering to match your cloud bill, providing an opportunity to experience our productized service's full potential at no extra cost.

TLDR: a leap second overloaded computer systems due to issues in how Linux handles time.

I love this since all those apps stopped working years ago and remember someone had this as a hack to do it manually! but, is there anyway to have it updated? because you still have to go and upload your zip file time and time again right?

it would be great if you could link it to rejection letters from past years and show where they are now? those posts exist out there right?

That's crazy as people don't even drink that much there relative to the rest of the world. Alcohol is already highly taxed there, can imagine this increasing the prices more

I don't really hear from them anymore, I am guessing they have their hands full and can imagine the pressure they might be on? could be completely wrong

They tend to all become BDRs or Consultants from my circles. Academia-Research trauma is tough too

woah, there was a Canadian company called Tiny Mile (who have better cuter looking robots) that do the same thing, the city banned them and then they moved to Miami and are having success apparently?

Looks like they also operate in NC like Starship, is it because of The Triangle? is the demand really that high there?

I'm not surprised that universities push for these robots as they will also benefit.

Curious if these robots can last through snow storms

I wonder if there will be an expectation to tip the food delivery robots

what? I thought Napster was out of business? and whaa? metaverse jumbo is making a comeback among artists?

A day where I have balance.

Have not skipped or delayed a meal, avoided distractions which came my way as I was deeply focused

this is sick!

oh damn, i thought it was just chrome not being on par anymore, didn't even think my adblock extension could play a part!!

Was this just a US service? Never heard of Drizly before and where I am, alcohol was always delivered under UberEats

@hangonhn and @arejaytee, I realized I may have come across as too pushy in asking you both to sign up as there seemed to be some interest. Totally understand if you maybe sketched up to sign up. Feel free to let me know any other way I can reach out or drop your questions here and I can try answering them

I knew I wasn't the only one thinking this lol - glad it's proven by an investigation How does one think Google is planning to change it's ranking system?

all good! I'm pretty new to the entire tech space as I'm the new hire brought in, so I understand and your response also helped me understand I should try building more trust in the copy

Yeah a possible upsell or doesn't have to be if this service is actually useful to anyone out there. We will potentially start charging a small fee (dependent on so many other factors, but hey you'll be getting an actual human expert in this age of automation to speak to eitherways) on this months from now - we haven't decided or thought of anything further as we don't know yet if people feel this is enough of a pain to be open to solutions, as obviously one can do it themselves to but at what cost of time?

any other feedback you may have on such a service or legitimate places to find users this can help would also be appreciated!

Mind me asking how big your organization was at that point? And were you the one responsible for patching after if something didn't resolve with upgrading libs?

no worries, lol I responded before to your original comment before I saw the edit.

it's 'free' only for the closed beta as duh we are clearly stating there's a human expert at the end who will be reviewing and going through with it.

We also know this model is not going to scale because of the human aspect, but we know this is a problem most people face if they are from small organizations, so we are looking to see how we can solve for steps AFTER the scan. This is just our first step as we try to learn more.

Trivy was the choice of scanner for now, but we don't tend to stick with it as there can be better scanners out there depending on the environment- it's just what we chose for the start, open to discussions if a user has a preference for a different scanner

Would you like to chat more? Feel free to sign up and I can reach out via email.

We are not going to be acquired or disappear as we have been in this business for over 20+ years and we plan to stay independent.

We also won't have cash flow problems as like I mentioned, this is a side project for us at the moment and not our main source of income.

We are just looking to test if this would be useful to anyone out there, hence it's free for the people that join our closed beta.

Happy to chat more if you more questions

It's an unused account as I created a new one using my company email! Every account has started somewhere? I'm a new hire to market the side projects we are starting on and getting user feedback, understanding the problem more to solve it.

And yes, the current model cannot scale for sure as there's a human piece at the end. We aren't looking to scale at the moment, just exploring if there can be a solution to this space we can come up with.

Again, like I mentioned above, just looking for users we can actually help as this is a common problem many face if they aren't at a big organization.

Also mentioned this isn't our main business, something we are experimenting with hence we are in closed beta and offering to do it for free for only a few. We have human labour costs to lol

We offer to install it for you for ease or can guide you on installing it yourself, and we will obviously be signing NDAs and whatever a user would like to build trust. We are literally in the business of DevOps..nothing malicious my man, just exploring a different kind of MVP but I understand the distrust

But is upgrading libs ENOUGH? and does that make you feel confident that you are secured? We are not claiming to solve using reachability analysis or claiming to solve anything but saving dev their time at this point!

also, is it just me or is Huntress' website down?

Yeah we have realized the same. The 'automated' options don't cut it anymore or like don't give answers specific to your environment, that's why we are offering human expertise to have a look-through and confirm it for free at this point in our closed beta. We mostly want to run this service/microproduct for now and see how we can tune the controls specific to one's environment

That is exactly what we are targeting! We know it's hard hence looking for users for whom we can tune the controls better for someone's specific environment - we will be able to do this as we have years of experience. This is kind of a side project/service we are going for and not our main business, so we are not looking to sell anything, but we are looking to understand the problem and space better.

Complete support is provided through Slack to (or however you wish), so you know you don't have to wait for any kind of support.

We know there are plenty of scanners out there. Hence we are using an open-source one and working on how we can improve the 'what happens after' part by using human-led expertise to save others their time

- Is the vulnerability valid based on the environment it was found in? Solve this and you’ll reduce enterprise vulnerabilities by probably 30-40%. --> Having a human expert confirm and filter the list is what we are offering to our closed beta users for now so yes that is what we are targeting to solve!

- What are the compensating controls? Identify these automagically and reduce the vuln risk scores based on what controls are found, you will remove another 30% of vuln work for engineering teams --> We have a list of controls we've identified, but we know each environment is different, hence looking for users we can tune our controls to

We are particularly looking for users who are in small organizations looking to grow rapidly. Ultimately, we are looking to save other devs time by taking over the cumbersome work.

@areyjaytee Best way to reach you? Spruced up a quick landing page (ignore the UI for now) - https://labs.stack.io/vulnerability-scanner

Please sign up and let me know when you do so we can share more?

agreed- I leave as soon as I have to sign-up for something, I understand sign-ing up is important to collet data and follow up, but if you have to decide which is better as I remember signing-up wasn't so forced on the early days. It was if you want to try or save your information then sign up.

this reminds me of kind of how adding a 'buy now' vs 'add to cart' button. If you add to cart, you have a chance of losing out on a customer vs someone buying instantly and not giving it a second thought.

Is anyone dealing with a large volume of vulnerabilities and getting tired of vulnerability scanners giving mundane results and not explicitly saying what to fix for your environment? We are looking for beta users to try out our MVP; it's all based on open-source too, and we are offering the service for free! There are actual experts with over 20 years of experience who will look through the vulnerabilities and prioritize according to your environment at the end of our MVP to make sure the user doesn't waste more time investigating solutions and can go back to working on their product. Automating is nice, but you do need a human to look through at the end we feel

apologies for hijacking your post OP but I am curious if people flocking to such a post would be interested in being beta users for us too
