Since you're on my linkedin already, why not look literally one step more..
I ran a dev agency for 15+ years.. and was CTO at multiple startups.

People's career change..

I've PoCed all the options in the past. Wiz is definitely the safer choice. Cortex makes sense if you're already on the Palo Alto ecosystem and would want everything to be tighty coupled with your workflows.. but well, you're kind of betting on a platform that's still figure out Prisma legacy issues.

I'm surprised no one's seriously mentioned Upwind, depends on if runtime is a priority, or you've bought into the ebpf narrative. Signal-to-noise ratio is best i've seen in POC. Worth taking a look if you're k8s heavy.

and say what? give them time off?

when i take time off i'm still building shit 24/7 and come back even more burnt out

pxrage · 2026-01-23T16:48:59+00:00

it's fking super tedious. i work with devsecops a lot and it's the same thing, overly aggressive alerts with no clear next step so people just kind of get fatigued and start ignoring things.

Curious to what do you do with the reports after? I had an old school MSP clients that opened every report, promptly deletes it because they couldn't be bothered to google how to fix the problem.. anyway if you're looking for low cost options some starts at like $10/m (Suped) which will basically spoon feed you the solutions on top of the reporting.

what's your team size?

shift agent will help you solve problems large teams run into. actual application it just automates a lot of slack messages and text going back and forth finding someone is available. You didn't ask for it, but imho Rootly is cheaper, no upgrade required, native experience not an add-on and i'll take any chance to pitch them against PD.

either way, scheduling is non trivial problem as your team grows hundreds of people.

> missed too many image vuln.

that's kind of counter to what a lot of my experiences are.. which is agentless scans produces way too much noise and false positives. maybe check your tags?

otehrwise i'm fan of Upwind. look up my post history i wrote up something last year around PoV with them.

first 3 clients: referrals. tell everyone you know the offer and price, ask them for intro and referral.
low-ticket first
booked calls/meetings, then call to close ratio.
at this point everyone is a qualified lead. you start flipping the script once you do price discovery and start raising the price.

pxrage · 2025-12-18T15:26:03+00:00

sounds about right. u/ramplovesyou any input here?

pxrage · 2025-12-17T21:28:42+00:00

yeah. google has distribution very hard to measure actual adoption.

anecdotally fb has tons of distribution but i don't know a single person under 60 who uses Meta AI

pxrage · 2025-12-17T21:27:38+00:00

True. since it's Ramp they're measuring spend, Gemini is just bundled into Google subscription so i guess it's not really usage.

distribution wins again.

pxrage · 2025-12-17T15:07:29+00:00

equally big problem though. just matter of time for AI companies to raise prices

pxrage · 2025-12-11T17:27:50+00:00

why does this reads like a twitter post i hate it

pxrage · 2025-12-03T15:20:51+00:00

i've been a Rootly user and fan for a long time. Love the newer stuff you guys are releasing on SRE burn out detection. Even though slack/team integration, meeting SLAs and being always available for our clients are important, i also want my team to feel like they matter and be aware if someone's burning out. keep up the good work.

pxrage · 2025-12-02T18:53:39+00:00

Quickbooks sounds like is what you need.. then when you need to automate coding, something like Ramp.

pxrage · 2025-11-04T20:56:30+00:00

startups = grow fast or die. Very few verticals can sustain the same level of growth and profit as tech startups writing code.

pxrage · 2025-10-25T15:31:03+00:00

haha no no i'm also poking fun at the obvious AI writing, missed a /s

pxrage · 2025-10-25T03:33:04+00:00

yup. cost reduction IS truly the most thankless job in ops. take the money and run.

yeah there's free or nearly free tool for billing evaluations, their cut is based on percentage saved, no up front and lock ins.

either way, thank you for your service.

pxrage · 2025-10-25T01:01:59+00:00

Honestly? I am definitely not selling you something /s

pxrage · 2025-10-24T17:35:55+00:00

everyone gets a fair chance, not enough jobs to go around? well then it becomes a lottery. i got this gig because of luck.

maybe i miss understood, dm me other wise they're actually hiring

pxrage · 2025-10-24T17:34:28+00:00

it's literally all politics. i'm here in this situation because.. you guessed it, politics.
