We’d love for this to be true... most images fill up with CVEs so fast in dependencies, we’re providing minimal images (much less surface area) and have the automation to rebuild the entire dependency graph at least daily, if not multiple times per day.
Hopefully everyone will run a "proper security program" someday!

well... our core users are ISVs (who distribute commercial software into enterprise controlled, self-hosted environments... think big banks, governments, tech companies). They care about supporting OSS (almost 1/2 of them are open core themselves) and their customers mandate that they care about closing out CVEs quickly in the software they're consuming from them.

thanks! say more about what you mean... you're saying instead of:
Secure, Sustainable Open Source
Partner with SecureBuild to offer secure, vulnerability-free builds of your open source project while generating recurring software revenue, no support contracts required.
we should say something different?

for those of us who haven't been through an "AI winter", it's really interesting to hear a debate about AI from nearly 40 years ago.

I did this interview with Mitchell about 18 months ago (time flies), given their IPO yesterday it feels like a great time to look back at the early lessons learned from building an iconic open source, developer tooling company.

Honestly it depends. I've helped a two companies I've angel invested in wind down, it isn't fun and a lot of other investors walk away. As a founder you have a good amount of your reputation wrapped up in this company, so how you exit is how you'll be remembered. If you're the CEO, you should probably to stay on to wind it down, make sure you leave some cash to close out bills (lawyers etc). If you have revenue and a decent team you might be able to "soft land" it to a bigger co for about the amount of $ that you raised (in new co stock for investors) and retention packages for the team.
If you're not the CEO, you have less responsibility to stay (but might reduce the value in a soft landing), very situation specific. From your quick description of what you might do and what you've liked doing, you'll be a great resource to any team... but if you're technical and like spending time with customers you'll be VERY valuable to a technical company (on either the business or engineering side honestly).
If you are looking, would love for you to consider Replicated. We're 100% remote, deeply technical, recently raised a Series C and have lots of openings for technical folks: https://www.replicated.com/careers (and since our customers are other enterprise software companies, your experience is likely valuable). Feel free to email me directly: grant at replicated (same invite for other HN folks if this sounds interesting).

Co-founder of Replicated here, a bit late to the party but happy to answer questions. Also, very important to highlight the unique aspect of this program... we now reimburse a MONTHLY home office expense (using the IRS calculation % of square footage of home). We're paying a portion of your rent or your mortgage (as much as the IRS allows), plus other cool benefits.

This is great. I feel the same way, but have been trying to train the existing YT algorithm. I started using my work email youtube profile to actively subscribe/like/save videos that I want to see more of (about hiring, management, culture, Kubernetes, devtools etc). At the same time I aggressively choose "not interested" and "do not suggest this channel" when the algorithm isn't suggesting what I want (more detail: https://twitter.com/GrantM/status/1325471071265558532).

This title feels like click bait. The story is interesting, but this product never had real revenue (definitely not $20k/month). "At its peak, Graphite was pulling in $20,000 a month in grant money. The design of the grant program was such, though, that after a while money would be allocated to other applications built on the protocol offering the grants. All told, Graphite received about $130,000 in grants."
