I've been recovering from surgery and made use of my downtime by attempting to create a Python dungeon crawler engine.

You can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/ruscoe/dans-dungeon

Game worlds are defined in JSON, which provides all the rooms, loot, and monsters to fight.

There's a lot of pressure to try every new flavour of LLM coding assistants.

Every day I see programming influencers reporting on their new favourite AI tool.

Everyone seems happy to let AIs soak up as much "context" as they can in order to get the best results.

My question is - how do we know what is being uploaded and accessed?

EG: Recently there's been chat about Cursor moving outside of a project directory and deleting folders.

Which gets me thinking... If you ask an AI to perform an action, or update some content, how do you limit the "context"?

What tooling can you use to provide fences around what AI accesses?

What LLM tools have the best track record on this?

Is everyone just asking LLMs about single files and expecting it to limit itself to related files? How do you trust it to stick to a "project" folder... which is a bit of a vague concept given it's usually just a folder on a wider filesystem that could also be accessed for "context".

I started a startup about 1.5 years ago and raised about $100k. However, most of that is spent on ads, travel and meeting with accelerator mandatory workshops. I have $50k in bank now. I am not drawing salary and living on my savings at this point.

It is incredibly hard to survive without any income on the west coast. I have considered moving but all other obligations doesn't let that happen.

I don't know if I am burned out or something is wrong with my brain. I am just numb to everything since 2023 when my father passed away.

So far we have made $4k but that's it. We released a product in February after significant delay in development. That product flopped. We have made one sale.

I know talking to customer is a cliche at this point. But, I am just not finding anyone to talk to. I have little to no network. Most of our software is for Marketing folks. I am using LinkedIn as primary channel and I do get 3% response. But, it is either not interested or sometime in the future.

I am at a crosspoint now. I don't know if I should continue to work on my startup.

I am relying on drawing from my savings but it is not sustainable. I desperately want to make it work and earn at least living expenses through my work.

I have spent a decade or more in tech but as an introvert and partly autist, I have kept to myself.

How do I find users to talk to and how can I reach out to them? I am finding that building without verifying or talking to users is a costly affair.

I would love to get some guidance.
