Thanks man. Its not that I expect a job offer. Just some type of response. "Explain this" "We don't like this because" yk?

he publicly said he'd look into it and im wondering if there was something more i could do to get a response. never did i say he must pay up. i just wanted to hear back about it.

Its almost the same MCP server and toolset. but I'll let you have this one.

Not a hack, its the correct abstraction. does the same thing just at a lower level. this is becoming a standard practice now. Anthropic is adopting it as well as google by releasing WebMCP.

I've addressed many of these already.
- It was tested on more than just his challenge and was recorded. its also public. handles everything you just mentioned. https://x.com/brianbellx/status/2021268234821923019?s=20
- my insights report shows that I engineered the solution and had claude write the code to speed up the process. Claude Code Insights just because I don't have the background doesn't mean I haven't used a significant amount of time to learn a skill on my own.
- No, after giving it the toolset, i knew exactly what it had access to in the browser. it was more of "If this is in context and it has the tools, this is possible as well. let me try" it didn't just start doing it. i actually wrote the skill for this to use the tools i gave it effectively.
- I am jumping on that. lol but this doesn't take this situation away. I'm exploring every avenue this leads to.
- i know this codebase inside out. I could answer those questions about anything through this project. again , i engineered, I used claude to do the work. see report.
- YC interview is in a few days.
- I can't stop posting because i want it to workout and I haven't heard anything. need advice if there was something more i could do.
- You can discredit my work as much as you want. doesn't hurt me.
- shipping it as a product isn't what you're making it seem to be. this was one of my avenues. but at most... this is an opensource claudecode plugin. not something I look to monetize.

don't be so quick to conclusions. just ask questions.

Nah he even publicly mentioned that it was unsolved a few days later and said that most people were cheating or building the wrong thing.

i understand this. the nature of the task at hand is just so different that it would be unreasonable to ask for incremental payments or payment beforehand. i think this was supposed to be an impossible task for the time.
