Building Apviso - AI-DAST scanner that outperforms most scanners (87% accuracy, 0% false positives).

Building in public. 10+ yrs Laravel/PHP.

I finally decided to go hard on my X account

Not because I suddenly had more time or a bigger plan. I just got out of my own way.

For a long time I think I was waiting to feel "ready". More polished, more finished, more sure the work was good enough to show. Turns out that feeling doesn't arrive on its own. You just have to start posting before you feel ready, and let the readiness catch up.

So: more building in public, starting now. The wins, the dead ends, the stuff I get wrong in real time. Less waiting for the perfect moment.

What's the thing you've been sitting on because you didn't feel "ready" yet?

@redhairshanks86 Leeching off taxpayer money. They’re poor by choice most of the time.

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@danielkleach For most courses I would agree, but not cybersecurity - it still has a lot more value than AI could now give.

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@RajX_21 Not sure what I would ask, but if HR didn't have a filter it would almost always be "What is your salary expectation?" haha.

@DanielSmidstrup We make applications safer https://t.co/h4wCHu2uJM

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@jyriso Yeah, seems more realistic, but convincing 50 people to pay monthly for your product when you just started and it’s only you is still hard.

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@256_rc Yeah, wanted to start a long time ago but I always ended up spiralling in overthinking and such. Always felt as I wasn’t enough. Now I finally decided to change that. What is your brand called?

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

Looking to connect with founders. Especially some AI products.

What are you building?

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@AI_303030 Clean UI, and great idea. Good job!

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@nico_vrgwn I see, Apviso engine is also heavily focused on memory (BM25 + Vector). I finally got to launch Apviso Sentinel - pretty much 24/7 pentesting that learns all the time using AI. Now I’ll take some time off by preparing some tools I built for myself and launching them.

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@founder_sohan Yes! Replies have the biggest weight when it comes to For You feed and X algorithm, so abuse it haha.

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@i_mika_el Yeah, I agree. And in Czechia - also their target customers, you have to keep all accounting history for at least 3 years as a freelancer (10 when you deal with VAT).

Invoicing SaaS just scheduled my account for deletion after 3 months of inactivity.

Is it standard practice to delete accounts after 3 months of inactivity? Surely one row isn't why they need to delete it.

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

Whatever you're building right now - stop for a few minutes and make sure it's actually secure. More important than ever in the AI era, when code ships faster than anyone reviews it.

What tools do you use to check the security of your own stuff?

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@i_mika_el Seems like system prompt of recon agent. It failed right after recon started, similar to what happened once before on Opus 4.7 when they introduced Cyber Verification Program where I had to sign up to actually use it. Opus 4.6 was last great model for cybersecurity in that way.

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

Tried running Fable 5 on an Apviso pentest scan. Immediately blocked.

Supposedly the most capable model available right now, and we can't use it to do the one thing our product needs: find vulnerabilities. Meanwhile the actual attackers aren't waiting on anyone's safety review.

Anyone else trying to use Fable 5 in Claude Code to actually make their tools more secure, and hitting the same wall?

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@alex_lrz_nmv Hey Alex! One day we will all get to have at least 1 success, keep up the good work!

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@exponential_dan Damn, that’s so good. This + spec-kit/openspec and you’re all set. And here I was using Linear MCP that was literally unusable. Will be trying this all day tomorrow, thanks for sharing!

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

What are you building right now?

Not the pitch. Not the landing page. The actual thing you opened your Claude Code/Codex for this morning.

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@VertCodeEU Clean, love it!

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@playerTwoQ haha. Yeah, unless it's my gf. When I touch her without looking at cycle phase first there's a high chance of my hand flying across the room. She does that in her sleep, there's ~10 days out of 30 when I can snuggle all I want lol.

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

My girlfriend would kill me if I were to let the room go this low lol.

Perfect sleep today at 16°C/61°F

I might start the AC to precool the bedroom a bit earlier cause it takes awhile to get there

Even though it's 19°C/66°F outside at night in Portugal, without AC our bedroom would be 30°C/86°F with 2 people in it

Why? Well when we travel and we don't cool it, our bedroom at night is about 24°C/75°F, so that's the base temp

And that's because it's a well insulated modern house (aka the blessing and curse of modern houses), modern walls delay the heat from the sun in the day so it heats up your house at night, essentially to save energy but it results in extremely hot bedrooms that are terrible for your sleep

On top of that two people sleeping increases a bedroom temperature by another 3°C!/5°F. Especially if you work out and have some muscle mass which radiates even more heat!

So without AC running we'd end up in a 27°C/81°F bedroom!

Add a blanket to that and you add another 3°C, so you're sleeping at 30°C/86°F. Terrible sleep!

If you ever slept in an old house you know how nice it is, it's barely insulated and feels breezy and cold at night, how it should be

Overheating at night due to modern insulated homes is a well documented problem in energy efficient housing research

So yes most of us need AC at night!

[Mikey @artisanmikey]

@levelsio Yeah, might be the muscle mass. She’s 20yo/164cm/58kg, so she’s quite far from overweight. But she has heart murmur and FV Leiden mutation, not sure if that could add up to the issue as well.
