Hey HN! Co-founder of webapp.io here. Looking forward to your feedback :)

Love TimescaleDB, actually used it for one of our recent product feature launches: https://webapp.io/blog/storing-millions-of-vm-metrics-with-t...

What did you use to collect and injest the metrics?

Depends on how important a CTO is to the company - this varies based on industry/nature of the dev process. If you're someone who's working on problems in your free time/ownership mentality it sounds like equity comp is important to you. Might be worth addressing to C-suite and finding patterns in your industry for benchmarking before that discussion.

Congrats supabase team!! So proud :)

thanks Lyn, keenly keeping eyes on webapp.io progress too

YC founder here from S20 here.

The co-founder search is difficult if you have nothing interesting to say and if you aren't prepared to make the jump.

After my personal journey for 2 startups, (both venture backed and non-venture backed), I find it's important to: 1. have at least 2 years of personal savings ready 2. know what things you're exceptional at doing and what things you really suck at 3. be ready to bare all in terms of personal/biz life goals and transparency with your co-founder 4. proactively go to places where you and your co-founder would both enjoy doing (hackathons, startup events, conferences, online forums about startups, etc.) 5. have a "trial" period, where you make things together or work on the startup together with set milestones in mind 6. be ready to challenge a co-founder's ideas, be weary of people who agree with you 100% of the time 7. Not everyone has to be the "visionary" founder, some people are looking to join an existing idea and that's equally as important

Yes, this needs to be solved at the crypto level - attackers always have the advantage.

This is usually Monero mining, which is still feasible on general CPUs - particularly if you're stealing the compute power.

Monero is quite hard to trade directly to actual money - you usually have to go via BTC or ETH.

So a systemic fix basically involves crashing the price of crypto in general, to take away the financial motivation.

(This is also one obvious solution to bitcoin's CO2 production - it's all about the US dollars, so hit those gateways.)

Sharing some thoughts from our own experience fighting cryptominers and the negative externalities for CI companies and their users. I'd be curious to hear if any other services have been affected.

We have the same problem in Okteto. We've been investing a lot on building tech to prevent this (I gave a talk on this during the last eBPF community days -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tplv3Hjjv2Q), but it's tough. We spend a LOT of resources fighting it.

Do you see yourself able to fully automate that process? The Falco -> slack notification -> manual ban doesn't sound like it will scale very well (but a nicer workaround than outright removing the free tier!).

Not yet. We are trying different approaches to curb this since we do want to keep our free tier.

Yup, we’re dealing with it on CodeShip. I’m pretty sure all CI services are swamped by mining on free accounts or fraudulent paid accounts.

Colin's cofounder here :) Excited to hear from you all

Come hang out! :)

Engineering roundtable on how to be a good developer in 5 or 500 person teams.

Hey HN, co-founder of LayerCI here. I recommend trying the following 1) the Ghost project:You can basically login to Ghost to try their onboarding without having to go through their actual trial flow, by leveraging LayerCI's staging feature. 2) share your project: we're happy to host your web app for free to show off what you're up to
