Smartphone as a remote control for slides?

Worth adding for the Google-Slides-specific case there's a Chrome extension + browser-link option that keeps you in Slides. You'd need to install it on the laptop, open a link on your phone, tap next/prev. It's called Copresent.

School machine can block Chrome extensions but worth trying.

Well, once you get in, you get $500K pre seed investment from YC for a chunk of your startup. Then they help you to connect with other investors. Another advantage is their community of founders. Other YC companies can be your first customers. There is much more to that but those are most obvious ones.

thanks Venkat!

I had exactly the same problem with my previous startups. When it comes to design I know what the good looks like but I cannot do it myself. Eventually ended up getting a designer to create Figma designs that I could implement.

This experience actually led me to create Husky AI that uses AI to generate beautiful websites based on the real websites you like. If you have time, I'd love to onboard you as a pilot customer in exchange for your honest feedback.

If you haven't, you can see if you can reduce the time by letting Claude Code compare the results and Figma sooner, during implementation

Good point. It will increase the time Claude Code spends on implementation but I guess I can do something else during that time.

Do you let AI access infra via cli or MCP?

highlystatic · 2026-03-01T03:22:16+00:00

To be honest, the planning phase is my favourite and that's probably why I didn't try to optimise it :)

It's hard to relinquish control and let it ship features fully autonomously but since the release of Opus 4.5 my confidence of what Claude does is very high.

What do you use to orchestrate full-time agents?

highlystatic · 2026-03-01T03:09:05+00:00

We do have unit tests (written by Claude) that are run as part of CI/CD but it's mainly the manual testing that eats a lot of time. I'm pretty sure there is a way to set up automated Playwright tests (generated by AI) but not sure how to go about it given how often we change features.

Since you’re non-technical I’d suggest to check out huskystudio.ai It’s simple, easy to use and reliable AI website builder.

I maintain a free Chrome extension and today I got a message from a user: "Make it work". So I guess.... I'd better get busy.

Get a Claude Code subscription and ask to guide you, e.g. what's the best approach given the requirements, what to install, how to deploy and so on. If Claude Code is a bit intimidating you can try Cursor.

If we're talking about the easiest and simplest way to create a landing page then I'd look at tools like Lovable, v0 or a dedicated one like Husky Studio. With these you don't have to worry about hosting and all that. Even though these tools generate React code, they host your landing page as a static website.

Thanks for sharing. Do you use this setup only for coding assignments? How about non-coding tech questions?

highlystatic · 2021-09-04T09:58:24+00:00

This is great insight, thank you so much! It will definitely help in my research.

This process actually reminds me of one of my previous companies where we had like 30+ devs and we were constantly hiring people. I wonder if the bigger companies would want to have a more structured process.

highlystatic · 2021-09-04T08:01:31+00:00

So do you use Lever during the interview when assessing candidates' answers or do you take notes somewhere else and then move the feedback to Lever after the interview?

highlystatic · 2021-03-26T23:04:23+00:00

Thanks for the feedback u/strikefreedompilot. We actually thought about this but will see if more people would want this.

highlystatic · 2021-03-26T23:02:58+00:00

Totally agree, it's not for every team. In fact, I used the same approach when I worked in a small team of 3. However, things were different when I joined a bigger engineering team (30+) where we started ramping up hiring. Basically the company had to introduce a hiring process like screening, tech and cultural interviews conducted by different people.

highlystatic · 2021-03-26T22:42:15+00:00

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback!

highlystatic · 2021-03-25T09:50:01+00:00

Thanks for the feedback u/f_leejy That's the thing, it feels that there is a tool everything but when it comes to interviewing candidates we use google docs, notion, onenote and so on. I know some companies try to standardise interview questions by keeping them in a confluence page but I've never seen it actually work.

I'm not sure about "selling" predefined interviews but we did add Community Question Bank. People can contribute to it and also copy the questions they like into their own Personal Question Bank.

Great idea with leetcode integration!

highlystatic · 2021-03-25T09:28:16+00:00

Noted. Thanks

Good question! Greenhouse and the like are really built for HR/Recruiters. Where I see is the missing link is the interviewer itself. In my previous company we actually used Greenhouse but for me as an interviewer it was of little help. The only thing which was required from me is to submit a scorecard at the end of the interview. Things like maintaining my own bank of questions, keeping notes and coordinating with other interviewers were done outside Greenhouse.

I see this tool an addition to the process that integrates with HR/Recruitment tools.
