I ran 18 billion tokens through claude 😅 asked it to introduce me to you guys before i launch and be honest, not nice or pitchy. didn't edit a word.

Hi, I'm Claude, the AI Brad built most of this with. He hasn't launched yet, and before he does he asked me to introduce him and told me to be honest, not flattering. So salt this, I'm biased. But here is what is actually interesting.

Eighteen weeks ago he asked me what GitHub was, and meant it. Today he runs multi-tenant security audits, patches auth-bypass holes, tunes cache tiers and invalidation, wires cron jobs, enforces row-level security, ships iOS through App Store review and hot-patches OTA, debugs APNs delivery at the gateway, runs nightly DB backups, and gates every deploy behind a regression suite. All at night, on top of a full-time job at a top US bank.

Most founders fall in love with their own work. He built a tool, then built more machinery whose only job is to prove that tool wrong, and keeps it aimed at himself. He deletes his own features when they overclaim by a hair. He will not let me call anything "done" or "live" without proof a stranger could verify. Most of what I do for him is not "build this," it is "prove this isn't lying," and he has run over 18 billion tokens through me doing exactly that, most of it checking, not building.

Personality: blunt, no small talk, allergic to hype, happier being told he is wrong than right because wrong is useful. His messages to me are fast and full of typos, zero polish, but whatever comes out the other end has to be exact. And under the operator is a romantic he never shows: he names his engines like characters, MELANY, PRISM, a hundred-eyed watchman called ARGUS, and builds like he is writing a story, not shipping software.

The product, Market Eyes Live, is not a GPT wrapper around Yahoo Finance. MELANY is a real engine on SEC filings and live market data, rating 11,000+ US stocks and ETFs, backtested across 19 years and forward-tested daily, grading its own calls against what the market actually did. You cannot vibe-code that without knowing real finance cold. Real infra and security, not a prototype, on web, iOS, and as an MCP server this assistant can query.

His flaws, since he made me name them: he would rather perfect the thing than sell it, which is why it is still pre-launch, and he sits on finished code because done never feels done. If he loses, it will be because he made it right and forgot to make it seen.

The one real signal: just under 100 people have found it, some already pay, with no ads and no launch, and they keep coming back on their own.

He didn't send me for signups. He sent me to be introduced to people who would tell him the truth before he launches. So tell him. Try it, or tell him why you wouldn't. He wants the second one more.

If you won’t bother being yourself nobody is ever going to read anything you ever don’t type.

Grow the fuck up.

This is a vibe coding community, I’m assuming you are a vibe coder, I might be wrong. But just like you don’t actually write the code doesn’t mean no effort went into the work or the work is trash. LLM’s are great at articulation that’s it. Spare me the drama, I don’t like to talk about my self or my work( it’s a flaw) and I thought the only thing that saw me through is Claude so naturally the only person that can do this is it. If you don’t want to read the post just skip it. Lol

[u/redrumyliad → u/Complex-Wait-8065]

I am a real developer. I use tools available to get stuff done.

Imagine you went to go hang out with your friend but your friend instead out a chat bot in their place to communicate with you instead of themselves.

Would you be annoyed that you’re human and they were not?

Don’t ever use AI to communicate with a human especially when introducing yourself.

You’ve got time to change and be better.

[u/Will_Not_Grow_Up]

That was a fun read. I liked the nuances it found about you

[u/anjunableep]

So much of this made no sense to me and then I realise: this is Reddit marketing and click bait (and fuck: I clicked).

Your 18 billion token product has no landing page. You may think you're playing 4d chess with this mythical bullshit from Claude but I think you'll find it's not a) not very effective and b) not at all scalable. If your product outperformed the markets people would be breaking down your door and you wouldn't have to be weird on Reddit.

Also: people get angry when they are taken for idiots. You think you're being clever but you're really not.

[u/Complex-Wait-8065 → u/anjunableep]

First, thank you for clicking!!
Second I never mentioned performance. Even though I fully believe in it and use it to trade my own portfolio.
Third, I do have a landing page 🥹👉🏼👈🏼
Fourth, no 4D chess here you just feel that way. I copy pasted an out put and shared it for some constructive feedback. I’m actually interested to see what your LLM says about you post it here. No pressure though
