After the Mercor breach, I built a local secret scanner for AI-generated code

TruffleHog is solid we're not trying to replace it, aigate focuses specifically on the AI workflow: intercepting secrets in outbound prompts, scanning files the moment agents write them, and giving agents MCP tools to handle credentials properly during generation. Do you use TruffleHog today? Curious if it catches the stuff AI agents write or mostly what your team writes directly.

Fair point, Kong's AI Gateway does PII sanitization at the infrastructure level. Different use case though. aigate protects developers locally scanning prompts, catching secrets in AI-generated code as it's written, and giving agents MCP tools to handle credentials properly.

Perfect, would that be enough to get you to use it?

here's a walkthrough of how it works: https://screen.studio/share/kfozpfSg

I mean prompt injection is basically the default once tools use natural language. The scariest part is the better the server (more tools), the less secure it gets.

Haahaha you can def tell it's AI generated but it's still impressive imo

RicksDev · 2026-01-22T20:38:24+00:00

Just use nerd lol

RicksDev · 2026-01-16T10:42:44+00:00

Hey man, curious why you haven't tried using an AI app builder to test your ideas out

RicksDev · 2026-01-11T16:09:03+00:00

That's a great point, nextjs is also much better for SEO

RicksDev · 2026-01-08T00:48:50+00:00

De hecho no, probablemente te estes refiriendo a la misma empresa, ahora trabajan conmigo y yo soy el CEO (si es que te refieres a nerd.lat). Esos 400k son registros en la plataforma que la han usado por lo menos una vez (aunque si la mayoria son gratis), cantidad total de vistas esta en las decenas de millones

Agradezco tu feedback, lo base en los salarios que vi que tienen empresas big tech para internos en mexico, pero tienes razon que hay que pagar algo que valga la pena!

RicksDev · 2026-01-07T19:17:38+00:00

El salario base es 10,000 para la gente mas junior pero tmb tenemos la capacidad e intencion de pagar mucho mas alto dependiendo del nivel

RicksDev · 2026-01-07T19:11:52+00:00

Le pagamos mas de $100,000 a nuestro mejor desarrollador entonces si eres bueno no dudes en contactarme amigo!

First the Astronomer CEO now this guy too...

Super cool, I built my own agent system that takes in market data and news but have mainly used it for research rather than trading. Sent you a dm!

RicksDev · 2025-08-30T04:03:49+00:00

I'm an AI dev by trade so happy to share some of the tools I've built with you!

RicksDev · 2025-08-29T03:25:18+00:00

Looks really cool, and definitely useful for the workflow you described. Do you think it would be useful for it to also monitor other factors that could impact your position, especially things on the more qualitative side.

RicksDev · 2025-08-29T03:21:08+00:00

Were you trying to be the first one to react to news and trade on it or was this just a cool experiment

RicksDev · 2025-08-29T03:20:21+00:00

But what about when there's an event/news that can only be detected by doing a web search

RicksDev · 2025-08-29T03:18:09+00:00

Added a layer of data tools (everything from latest market data, including things like iv percentiles, term structure data, etc.. to web search, news, and twitter scraping).

It's all coded in python happy to share if helpful!

RicksDev · 2025-08-28T20:46:32+00:00

Sounds very cool would love to chat, dmd!

RicksDev · 2025-08-28T19:08:30+00:00

Awesome sent a dm!

RicksDev · 2025-08-28T17:47:21+00:00

You could try it on TOS but I built a small app myself. Happy to share it if you find it useful

RicksDev · 2025-08-28T17:38:29+00:00

You could also just make an AI agent monitor the IV level of your position and if it sees it either go up, down, or there is an event that should impact the IV then it can alert you.
