As we all know, in large orgs the form issue has been solved by using trusted components with unit tests. What worries me is how somebody were actually to provide valuable bugs, those that keep you up at night trying to fix them.
I worked with exploratory testing companies that would report hundreds of bug that nobody ever cared about. Does YC really care about the bug that they found, or have a business impact?
(Actually coming from building a company in this area now https://desplega.ai, you can try it out for free too)
Also a nitpick, but there are profanities on your landing page and it kinda puts me off.
And likely this type of thing is not suitable for CI use. CI systems are already too slow and flaky. You want to run this type of thing nightly.
For example look at supabase. They basically sell a DX CLI + UI as their core offering. But that’s not a real business. So they sell off the shelf AWS RDS + postgrest + gotrue and now it is a cohesive platform that you can charge real money for. But those pieces are just the easy to assemble legos around their core thing. Not to belittle how impressive they are at shipping, but a lot of what makes supabase great is the brilliant assembly of these preexisting components, wrapped in a delicious package
The product looks interesting. My only question would be what does a common successful description of a user journey look like?
Is it pages and pages of prompting to get the agents to understand or do you see success with less verbose descriptions?
I don’t know why someone would be expected to be aware of a niche, local, artist community or their history
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Ship_warehouse_fire
It wasn't the community that sparked attention, but the shoddy living conditions and that people had to resort to living in a warehouse in the Bay Area because of unaffordable housing (and which indirectly led to the conditions for the fire to happen).
But again I wouldn't expect recent YC people who just moved to the Bay Area to know about it.
I have never heard of this event.
Also according to Wikipedia 36 people died. 31 people have died in Nepal due to their political shenanigans the past few days and I highly doubt anyone not involved in the region is going to remember in 10 years.
It seems really weird to me to be calling out random people for naming collisions with incredibly local, niche, news events from a decade ago
Finally, East Bay is a very common term, even encompassing a well known guitar player. Would you consider that if you’re not familiar with that term, you’re maybe not a very good judge of how common the knowledge of an event is? I’m from nowhere near San Francisco, but both East Bay and Ghost Ship are front of mind for me.
> It had big impacts on everyone who threw renegade parties…
To point out that you are out of touch. How many people as a percentage of the population do you think even know what those are?

There is an East Bay in every single city with a West Bay. How many people as a percentage of population do you believe know specific guitar players names from niche bands like the Dead Kennedys ?
This entire thread reads like “how dare you not know the culture of San Francisco”
