.@_hex_security is building AI agents that hack your systems before real attackers do.

In weeks, their agents uncovered critical flaws at dozens of unicorns, earning over $250K in bounties. Hex already protects companies processing billions in transactions and millions of user records.

Congrats @zer0day, @menace_codes, and @hzzzaifa on the launch!

“Every time in history that someone has wanted to tell their story, there has been pushback.”

One of our members had a documentary filmed about him! Thank you @bephrem

[Benyam Ephrem @bephrem]

Two weeks ago, @olivercingl asked if he should drop out of high school at 17 to stay in San Francisco.

The tweet went viral overnight — 2M views, with replies split between “finish school” and “take the chance.”

I visited his hacker house to see what he decided.
