I recommend this approach as the emergency nuke. As long as you commit to keep inbox zero afterwards.

My University has the water bottles at the same number range and the first one to be sold out is always 55.

I usually pick 51, no idea why.

pouta··on Ask HN: Who's Looking for a Co-Founder?
Last month I did a week of user interviews in one of my customers office I noticed for the first time that their face light up as soon as they know I'm the guy that made the "new thing".

That made me realize I'm actually making journalists lives better with my software.

I left a comment with more details in this post. I'm a software engineer with plenty of professional experience and design is not my strong.

pouta··on Ask HN: Who's Looking for a Co-Founder?
I am. Currently at 2.5k MRR working alone. We build tools journalists love by aggregating, benchmarking and integrating hundreds of APIs under a single web interface.

Our tech is a 'lingua franca' of APIs. We started with newsrooms but the benefits apply pretty much to any large Enterprise. Newsrooms were a good first vertical because they are desperate for innovation.

Could you share the winner?
pouta··on Ask HN: How would you build a search engine in 2019?
I've been having this idea of crowdsourcing a better Google via a browser extension.

Every time I repeat a search query and end up finding the answer in the same website I visited before I wish I marked that link as the 'definite answer'.

Next time I search for the same information the extension would point me directly to my previously marked link.

Maybe by letting people could subscribe to each other answers I could bootstrap better google. Developers seem a good initial target market. Students too...

pouta··on Applying to YC Early Decision – Wren (YC S19)
Thank you for the feedback and kind words.

I think YC can be invaluable to any company in many different aspects. For me it would be an amazing opportunity to create a great team.

pouta··on Applying to YC Early Decision – Wren (YC S19)
Hi three years ago I dropped out of college in order to build my own destiny, after unsuccessfully applying multiple times to YC I feel I'm missing a strong team.

My current users absolutely love my product (just came back from a week of user interviews at their office), my company is default alive for the foreseeable future but I'm running solo.

I feel overwhelmed. I have a couple of customers waiting to start using our product because I don't know if I will be able to provide the great customer support my current customers have.

I want to find people to join me but it is pretty hard when my country startup ecosystem is still immature.

I changed my product until user loved it and now I feel stuck.

I'm not on my computer right now and I wonder if they rotated my write key since they don't mention it...
pouta··on Segment Security Incident
Only 13 customers affected? I guess I won the haveIbeenpwnd lottery today.

Here is the email I got:

" We are writing to notify you of a security incident that happened between August 26 and August 31, 2019. We became aware of it on August 31, resolved it immediately, and have been assessing the scope of impact since then. Based on that ongoing assessment, we have concluded that the incident involved your workspace. We are very sorry for any issues this may cause.

What happened? Between August 26 and August 31, 2019, an unauthorized party compromised a Segment employee’s account and used it to gain unauthorized access to Segment product usage data. Upon detection, we took immediate action, disabling and deleting the account and removing unauthorized access. We also reported the incident to law enforcement.

What information was involved? The unauthorized party accessed information about how Segment users interact with the Segment product, as well as first name, last name, email address, and IP address for your Segment users, and the Segment write keys for your workspace. No Segment customer passwords were compromised.

No personally identifiable information relating to your own customers was accessed. As a result, no action is required from you at this time.

More information For more information, please visit oursecurity bulletin page. This page contains a detailed timeline about what happened and information about what actions Segment has taken in response. It will be updated with any new developments.

If you have any further questions, please reach out to support@segment.com. We again apologize for any inconveniences this incident may cause.

Sincerely, Coleen Coolidge Chief Information Security Officer"
