Michal Rachtan's profile on Product Hunt

About

I’m a founder and engineer who enjoys turning complex technical problems into practical products and solutions. I’m currently building Unit8, where I work across engineering, data, and business to help companies solve challenging problems with software and data. Before Unit8, I was a Tech Lead at Palantir and worked as a data scientist and engineer at Swisscom. Over the years, I’ve worked across software engineering, data science, DevOps, analytics, and product development. I enjoy being hands-on, learning new things, and working with people who care about building useful products. Outside of work, I like exploring new tools, discovering interesting products, and seeing how other makers turn their ideas into something real.

A decoy outage must not reopen the protected origin

DungeonQ's defensive deception runtime keeps designated sessions working inside persistent synthetic worlds. What happens when that path fails matters as much as the successful walkthrough.

In the self-hosted reference, a synthetic transport failure does not fall back to the protected origin. Invalid authority, missing evidence, or unreadable state return bounded errors. The gateway records an attempt before dispatch, so an interrupted operation cannot simply disappear from the evidence.

The published September 18 acceptance record includes a useful negative check: with the containers stopped, verification returned INCONCLUSIVE instead of reusing an earlier passing result.

For operators, preserve the failed run's records and inspect the uncertainty. Automatic reconciliation of unknown outcomes is not implemented; deleting state is not a recovery procedure.

Is Claude Code safe to use?

Claude Code reads your repo, edits files, runs shell commands and calls MCP tools. That's what makes it useful, and it's also what makes it a security surface no IDE assistant ever was. Its built-in permissions, sandboxing and managed settings reduce the risk meaningfully. They don't remove it.

What are your best practices to secure your @Claude Code ?
