You can basically do this in Java or Lisp or Smalltalk right? This is not going to work. No one will use this ever.

crypto/blockchain people are pitching about second brain with LLM lately. It is either second brain, copilot, companion or works at a speed of thoughts.

A lowcode app generator that "used" appsmith's open source project to build on, gamed hacker news to be on the top page once, has a new low code app generator with shoehorned chatgpt.

ZIRP Hustle is real.

I think this is just a marketing ploy jumping on the Generative AI bandwagon. In real world, this will not work as the actual output might really confuse the end user.

Airplane too, does have a coding assistant similar to this [1].

It looks like yet another selfhostable Platform-as-a-service.

This product (and all the PaaS abstractions for kubernetes) introduce something called '200% problem' where you have to not only issues in kubernetes now but also fix platform issues.

Platforms like these existed since the dawn of cloud. I think the space is super crowded but no one has actually cracked this market. I think the total addressable market is fairly small for selfhostable PaaS.

Terrible Idea to run this kind of tool on actually transactional data. In our startup we have pre-defined scripts so a non-dev's work is actually scoped. This is free range access to the database. Now not just dev can drop a database but also a business person can delete all data.

You want to scope access via a BI tool to the business person. That is data archtecture 101. And when the access is scoped a BI tool like metabase or superset services a better purpose than this.

I did mumbai, london and berlin. Says Tbilisi as the meeting point. No thanks.

If it is encrypted in browser. There is the encryption keys persisted with reference? Probably at your end? If it is in browser then $39/year is not justified. It should be free.

PS. It is airbyte the OP talks about

To be honest, if you have hard time companies to talk to you as an established org. You will have a hard time selling too.

When you are creating something like this from scratch, then you have to do outbound just like a sales guys.

I can forsee that there would be a YC startup creating a opensource clone of this.

Atleast your manager doesn't do anything. I have seen managers who do stuff and ruin the work that people have done.

I disagree with you. You should fire the engineer strategically. Firing the engineer right away does have risk. But there is a great risk long term if the person is in the team and making the team toxic which will repel engineers with better character and better fit.

In a long run, it will benefit team and organisation if the person is fired. I have seen companies shutdown due to the toxicity induced by engineers like first hand. I have also been part of the interview where I was super excited about the product the org was building but rejected the offer after meeting the team due to the toxicity.

Sounds like you are dealing with what people call "brilliant jerks". One thing I have been having worked in the industry is that brilliance is a momentary thing. Once that facade is gone, only thing that you are left with is jerk.

Someone mentioned insecure asshole. I have dealt with them. Unfortunately, lot of managers fail to identify them and eliminate them. These asshole do enough to stay in the org while making the workplace toxic.

I have seen appsmith and tooljet in the space. Played around with them for a while. What I am super scared of is pricing. Though it is free and opensource. I love that, moment you ask me to pay. I am going to opt Retool as it is more enterprise ready from perception wise. Even superblocks that cloned and copied appsmith, I am willing to pay for them as there is trust of some sorts as they have certain upfront pricing. Not having upfront cost can. be very deceptive.
