I thought this wasn't really an LLM sure text as input but the folks at Typesafe have been very adamant this is a new class of model not just another LLM.

Although to be fair we don't know enough about the architecture.

It feels like an LLM variant to me. It's a large model, trained in large amounts of text, that you prompt using human languages. The only difference is that the output is a set of scores as opposed to more text.

"It simply does not add up that someone who lacks purely technical skills in an area can make good decisions."

Let me introduce you the the executive team of every company.

Hey someone needs to attend dinners and rub elbows. Technical leaders are the strongest but mostly csuite is useful for their connections.

So whats the alternative? I'm thinking I'll migrate my company to something self hosted, but what about personal projects?

For your personal projects, do they _need_ to be on a remote git server with a full GUI?

Its all vibes man

I'm testing a bunch of Saas ideas, all micro or smaller. I got to launch the first one last week; a feedback collection widget and board so users can submit feedback anonymously. Its a simpler version of Canny or UpVote; and with an MCP and API backed in from the get go.

I got inspired by the guys behind purelymail.com so I'm keeping the pricing simple $9/mo or $90/yr per project. The free plan has every feature, capped at 50 feedback items.

I'm running a promotion for the month of August: http://shiplog.ca/fairwinds

This is amazing I been wanting something like for a long time. I'm also curious whats up with the no VC logo at the bottom of the page?

Thanks for the kind words! NOVC [0] is kind of like "BPA Free" for saas, in my case it's a pledge that this software will remain indie and founder-led and not be subject to enshittification pressures that can come from taking certain types of investment.

I spent the last 5 years working at a bn+ valuation YC fintech; I naturally started to apply to YC with this project, but kept feeling internal pressure to make it something different from my vision in order to get to that bn+ unicorn status. Not every cool idea needs to corner an industry, ya know? I'd rather build this tool for 100 people like me and not gate a bunch of features behind paywalls. I live off-grid on acerage in Hawaii and paid off my mortgage and car loan, so my income needs are low. It would be nice to replace that 6 figure SV income one day, but I have a young family. There are different kinds of wealth, ya know?
