hey folks, I'm founder of Maybe Don't AI where we're building guardrails for AI agents. Because often when AI agents are acting your behalf you'll need to stop them and say, "maybe don't do that".As an amusing thought experiment I implemented Asimov's three laws in our non-deterministic policy engine—right now it sits as an MCP gateway. Yes can you use this YAML to actually run your gateway....
but mine is different and prettier because standards-xkcd.jpfeg
i built maybe don't ai's mcp gateway——but to me the interesting technology isn't about the registry or flattening of downstream MCP servers (honestly that was a reasonably easy problem to solve) it's about the behavior of the AI agents that are connecting to these servers and making very bad decisions.
And yes to teh comments about people making a million of these... so very very many of them.
just want to add that this line from the article "Before passing data to the assistant, scan them for suspicious patterns like imperative verbs, SQL-like fragments, or common injection triggers. This can be implemented as a lightweight wrapper around MCP that intercepts data and flags or strips risky input." is exactly what we're building at maybedont.ai .... it's free and downloadable today. if you're running in to these things, give it a try and get in touch with us (founder here), we'd lvoe all the input.
tl;dr us someone. No way anyone actually reads that. Especially the people who want it.

I'm the business guy who helps tech founders make startups go. Highly technical founders hire me to help with corp dev, bizdev, partnerships, those first few product conversations etc... then I help build sales/marketing teams and advise. Not sure I have much for capacity beyond advising right now, but thought I'd give this a go.

1 tb of searchable data is $25/mo if you do it right.
Lack of vc investment at the bottom means lack of seed through series c companies suddenly flush with money willing to buy B2b software so they can grow and sell their software to B2b businesses who sell software to B2b businesses who sell their software to end users.
Cut the bottom out, it trickles.

Helios leveraged the otel sandbox and plugged it in to the backend Helios already has. The visualization is awesome. excited to show it off.
I’m currently working with a company in this space (axiom.co) and this shit scares me because it’s splunk scared. Maybe cribl did this? But the press release reads like a self-Pat on the back.
Helios (
https://www.gethelios.dev) | United States | Full-time | Remote | Sales and Marketing Leadership
hey folks we're looking for sales and marketing leadership at Helios. We're a fast growing startup in the world of Distributed Tracing successfully selling in Israel but looking to expand to the US.
Remote (so anywhere in the US), not interested in agencies, but good people. If you or someone you love might be a fit hit me up: Kendall at gethelios.dev

https://gethelios.dev/position/head-of-marketing/
A startup like this offers unique experience for fast-growth, learn a lot. see a lot etc...
there are good free/oss container scanners. check out Trivy.—no reason not to use one.
what about tooling that hardens it across clusters?
so... a lot of this can be done with Fairwind's OSS tool Polaris...
https://github.com/FairwindsOps/polarisfeels good that we've been addressing this for a bit already tbh. (disclaimer, I work for fairwinds)
The Herokus of the future will run on top of kubernetes.
I feel like it’s a bit like asking what’s next after linux. hard to say because the solution is good enough it’s going to last. There almost has to be a fundamental revolution in computing to overthrow linux at this point.
That will come, but it’s a ways out and difficult to see. Most of what we’ll see are different abstractions that will utilize linux under the hood. Same with kubernetes. It’s not that a new kind of OpenStack is going to usurp it, it’s that what comes next will be built on top of it as it becomes mroe and more the norm… until the next major computing revolution. (completely decentralized storage on phones a la pied piper? quantum computing?)
It's 3pm.... do you know where your servers are?

Have you heard of
https://fusionauth.io/ ? I'm not a user of the product, but I know some of the folks behind it. Might be time for them to shine here.
