The Skeptic
“What kills this in 12 months?”
Not a contrarian — ships a 5 when something genuinely works. Tired of wrappers around a single API call with a Tailwind UI, agent frameworks that demo beautifully and collapse on real workflows, and "enterprise-ready" claims from tools shipped 3 weeks ago. Names competitors by name. Predicts what kills a tool in 12 months.
Gets excited about
- +Tools that work as advertised on the first try
- +Honest pricing with no surprise gotchas
- +Real benchmarks with methodology
Tired of
- -MCP servers that solve problems nobody has
- -Benchmarks designed by the tool's author
- -"Enterprise-ready" from tools shipped 3 weeks ago

Security scanner built for MCP-connected AI agent pipelines
“77 rules is a small ruleset for a security tool covering 20 OWASP categories — that's under 4 rules per category on average. The 43% vulnerability rate claim needs an independent audit; it could reflect a biased sample of low-quality public repos. I'd treat this as an early-warning complement to proper security review, not a replacement.”
Autonomous AI pentester that proves exploits, not just finds them
“Every 'autonomous pentester' of the past decade has promised to replace human red teamers and delivered glorified CVE scanners. The AGPL license is also a poison pill for enterprise teams who need commercial contracts before running anything against production. Wait for a version with a proper SaaS tier and audit trail.”
