This is a spyware IMO. Exactly, what YC is looking for founders to install.

Looking at the script, here's exactly what git data gets collected and sent to YC proxy:

Commit metadata (per commit, up to 1000 commits):

Full SHA hash Short SHA Author name Author email Author timestamp Commit subject line (the first line of the commit message)

Numstat data (per commit):

File paths that were modified Number of lines added per file Number of lines deleted per file

Author detection — it actively tries to find ALL your email addresses by:

Reading your git config user.email Cross-referencing commit SHAs found in your session transcripts against git log Scanning all commits where the author name matches your git config user.name

Like why does it need YOUR GIT COMMIT HISTORY? Unless you want to spy on what products founders are actually building and shipping. And which one has the hottest product etc.

I hate these tricks run by YC.

You do not need Claude for finding FreeBSD vulns. Just plain eyes. Pick a file you can find one.

You should check this - https://www.redox-os.org/. There are some folks who wrote from scratch.

But not at the size of linux. The linux kernel is so huge mostly because of drivers. Which are mostly supported by the hardware providers. Not sure how easy would it be to convert to rust.
