Aren’t You Embarrassed

– Sherveen criticizes Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan for boasting about his open-source tool “gstack,” which a CTO claimed uncovered a subtle XSS vulnerability their team missed, calling it embarrassing and grounds for firing the CTO if accurate.
– Garry’s tweet highlights gstack’s simplicity—one paste to install locally via Claude Code, another for repos—positioning it as essential for future projects, but Sherveen views it as exposing VC and engineering incompetence rather than innovation.
– The post sparks backlash in tech circles, with replies mocking Garry’s judgment and YC’s reputation, underscoring tensions around AI tool hype versus real security expertise in venture capital.
