I’m building a tool that helps companies visualize their AWS costs and provide suggestions on how to optimize it.

What’s the best way to find companies that use AWS that are spending more every single month?

By AWS, i mean any product whether its S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, Redshift, etc.

Does anyone here use Discord for their workplace comms?

We are outgrowing Zulip as our team chat tool and are anti-Microsoft, so Teams is definitely out. Slack is the “default” choice but their pricing leaves a lot to be desired, especially if you want SSO, longer history of saved conversations, etc

Which leaves me to Discord. I know it seems like an unconventional choice but does anyone here use it in their workplace? And how do you find it?

Now that Trump/the administration has designater Anthropic a supply chainrisk and threatened every company that uses them, how do u think most companies that use Anthropic/Claude would respond?

Anthropic only has ~100 customers in federally focused industries (ie defense) [1] but it seems Trump is not just targeting “pure” federal contractors/agencies but anyone doing business with the govt. so that obviously includes a huge chunk of tech companies like Crowdstrike, Asana, Salesforce, Hubspot etc [2] and even non-tech companies

And how is the govt going to enforce companies to not use Anthropic? Are they going to audit the internal tool usage of thousands of companies?

What if individual developers pay for Claude Code personally? What if a company uses Azure or AWS Bedrock which routes to Claude? How would they handle those “edge cases”?

[1] According to Bloomberry (https://bloomberry.com/data/anthropic-claude/) [2] many of these tech companies sell separate products to the government (https://www.hubspot.com/government and https://www.salesforce.com/government/)

I'm trying to decide whether to adopt Cursor for our company, but we're in a heavily regulated industry and our compliance team is flagging concerns about HIPAA/SOC2/audit trails.

The thing is, there are companies in regulated industries using it [1][2]. But Cursor has no HIPAA BAA, no FedRAMP certification, and is cloud-only with all requests routing through their AWS infrastructure. (This is probably true for Claude and other coding assistants, though I've only looked seriously at Cursor.)

So how are regulated companies actually making this work? Or do most just avoid Cursor and other AI coding tools altogether?

[1] 165 healthcare companies use Cursor according to Bloomberry: https://bloomberry.com/data/cursor/

[2] Cursor's customers include Sanofi, Johnson & Johnson, and Neuralink: https://cursor.com/customers

I built a GPT for the ChatGPT store to help turn docs and meeting notes into internal wikis. The ideal customer are large engineering-oriented companies. Ideally, companies that just started using ChatGPT and AI to do this type of task.

Is there a tool that can help me find companies that just started using ChatGPT? I tried Wappalyzer and Builtwith but those seem to just focus on frontend stuff like JS frameworks

I started using clay to enrich a list of companies I want to target (mostly agencies). Priblem is that its starting to become way way too expensive. I mostly want to enrich my list with email of decision makers and whether they use a particular tech stack and whether they hiring for a particular job right now. And every one of these require more credits :(

I saw some show hns for clay alternatives awhile ago so figured some of you might know of any inexpensive options. aAnything thats essy to use would be a bonus too!

Anyone have any open source recommendations? Or if not open source then something with a reasonably good free plan?
