Yeah I left out a lot of details! But it did more than just my writing style.

It was able to piece together some other details that I've dropped related to where I live, in addition to my casual tone etc

It wasn't the username MattSayar, it's an alt account.

Took me a minute to realize Sid isn't associated with 0xide.computer. Clever domain name!

Getting Google to index my personal site has been a pain. Every other search engine works fine, but ever since I switched the images on my site to .webp (a format created by Google!), my site's content just doesn't get indexed anymore. I've given up since web search traffic matters less and less these days with LLMs, and it only really bothers me when I'm trying to search for my own articles.

Small world, Matt! It's been fun seeing you pop up from time to time after writing for the same PSP magazine together

You just realistically can't know everything. I have a tankless water heater. It's almost a magical black box to me, but I know a little bit more about it now that I've taken pictures of it and asked LLMs to explain it to me. I'm still not a water heater technician, but I feel more knowledgeable.

And on the topic of motorcycles, I recently got a crappy bike that barely starts, and I partially got it because I feel capable of fixing it. And now it runs pretty well because I used lots of "video chats" with Gemini (and the owner's manual as context) to fix it!

Just be sure to run it with --accept-dns=false otherwise you won't have any outbound Internet on your server if you ever get logged out. That was annoying to find out (but easy to debug with Claude!)

This is exactly the way I see it. You can always get better performance at lower levels of abstraction, but there are trade-offs. Sometimes the trade-offs are worth it (like building bigger things), and sometimes they aren't (it's a buggy mess).

This is exactly the case. Businesses in the past wouldn't automate some process because they couldn't afford to develop it. Now they can! Which frees up resources to tackle something else on the backlog. It's pretty exciting.

    Location: Colorado
    Remote: Yes
    Willing to relocate: No
    Technologies: Product Management, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence | CISSP, CCSP certified
    Résumé/CV: https://mattsayar.com | https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattsayar/
    Email: matt@mattsayar.com

I'm a PM with a proven track record shipping AI products that make money. At Anomali, I launched their Copilot generative AI suite from zero to millions in ARR. I handled everything from product-market fit to pricing and packaging. Before that, I built Splunk's first cloud-native SaaS app called Mission Control, coordinating 40+ engineers across 30+ teams to unify SIEM, SOAR, and investigation workflows into one platform. We gained over 1000 DAUs and 350+ customers in six months.

I'm technical enough to be dangerous with a CS degree, partial MS in Cybersecurity from Georgia Tech, and I build things for fun (my side projects have hit the HN front page). But my real value is bridging deep technical understanding with business strategy in fast-moving security/AI markets.

Looking for companies at an inflection point where I can build or significantly scale a product function. Ideally somewhere at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.
