1. LOL! Sorry! Volume is tricky to get right. I'll fix this with my next video.

2. Agree 100%! Second bots are becoming more sophisticated, but the truth is I am still pretty early. The video on this post, and on the website, is actually about a month old. I had planned on making an updated video with more interesting scenarios, but I ran out of time! I will have an updated video within the next two weeks. I also need to show screenshots of sample outputs, agree 100%

3. Defensibility - I wouldn't say this can be too easily copied. I am building custom compilers at the feature level (the high level plan), compilers for individual files, and piecing this together with GPT-3 queries on the code base, and using GPT-3 to generate new files, and modify files. Other than that, that's all I got!

4. You are 100% right. If Second becomes just a really fancy starter kit, it won't be a great business. However, I have found that my early customers do not know all of the features that they need up front, and tend to configure features in second, and then do a lot of BE work and some tweaks, and then do another feature a few days later. So I think Second can be integrated into a normal product delivery workflow. Also, I plan to add other capabilities like AI code reviews, and auto upgrades and maintenance via bots



Also about being a solo founder. It's rough!


I know solo founder is #1 on this list, but fights between founders is #17, so we're in the clear on that one.

Trust me, I know alllll about co-founder conflict.


How was it like applying and getting in as a solo founder? I'm thinking of applying to YC solo as well so would appreciate any feedback or tips.


You got this! Second looks really cool. Fellow solo founder here, definitely going to try it out


Thanks! Let me know if you need anything, always happy to help fellow founders in anyway that I can


nah man fix the video now you are on hn front page and it takes you all of 5 mins to record a loom


Lol you're not wrong. BUT I do want to take my time with the video. I might be slower than you – it would probably take me an hour+ to tweak it, and find a better song.


Just don't add background music :)
