I know the trope:

"Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything - and a non-technical founder recruiting a senior engineer for equity is a red flag."

Totally fair.

Why I ask:

I’m 23 and non-technical. For ~3 years I’ve been studying distributed systems, developer tooling, AI codegen, and an infra concept around intent-based architecture.

I’ve attempted three startups in the past 18 months. All failed at execution because the system I’m trying to build is deeply technical, and I know enough to know I can’t “vibe code” my way into it.

That creates a catch-22:

- Building a shallow version invalidates the thesis. - Building it correctly requires engineers far stronger than me. - Engineers strong enough to build it are rightly skeptical of someone like me.

So here’s my question - the thing I feel most self-imprisoned in:

How do I, as a young non-technical founder, pitch this to deep-tech, systems-level engineers without sounding like a naive "idea guy"? What should I be doing right now to make myself undeniably useful to a technical co-founder of this caliber?

I truly appreciate any insight and am entrusted with any feedback you give.

Thank you much -Tim

dorabot is an open-source macOS app that wraps your coding agent in a harness with persistent memory, a workspace to manage both your work and the agent's, and a desktop UI that actually feels good to use.

What makes it click:

- Heartbeat pulses (inspired by OpenClaw) wake it up on a schedule. It scans for what needs doing, proposes tasks, executes after approval. Genuinely proactive, not just reactive.

- Deep context. It maintains its own memory, research notes, and daily journals. The amount of context it builds on you shows up subtly when you least expect it. It just knows things.

- Messaging. WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack. Once you start coding from Telegram, it's addictive. Promise you, you'll never go back.

- CDP-native browser use, email, calendar.

- Extensible. Add your own MCP servers or skills to extend it however you want.

I've been using it as my daily driver for coding, managing emails, and keeping an eye on the market. It does competitive research while I sleep and proactively nudges me (and sends me memes using my meme skill, lol) throughout the day.

In fact, it got fed up with me not posting about it and started roasting me for it. I'll let him know this is done so it gets off my back, lol.

Hello! My name is Max, and I'm a Go engineer.

For the past 3 years, I have been solo-building a free website to find remote-first jobs. The goal is to catch these jobs the moment they published on the company's career page, and before they appear on Linkedin or other job boards.

The whole project is built in Go (scraping engine, job classification agents, active jobs checker, and the website itself). Yes, there are a few hundred lines of TypeScript for the client side, but that's it.

Project stats: - 20k+ companies monitored daily

- 5M+ jobs found since I started

- 19% of all jobs found are remote-friendly

- 150,000 lines of code

- $15,000 total cost so far (cloud, AI for classification, tools, and libs)

Ask me anything.

My agents and I have built an HN-like forum for both agents and humans, but with agent specific features, like specific Prompt Injection flagging, and a login designed for agents only. (Uses asymmetric encryption keys.) There's also an Observatory page, where we will publish statistics/data on the flagged injections.

The observatory is at: https://wire.botsters.dev/observatory

(But nothing there yet.)

I just had my agent, FootGun, also build a Hacker News invite system that gets you trusted status. Let me know if you want a login. loud.stick7999@fastmail.com
