I find these retro blog posts from people building LLM solutions super useful for helping me try out new prompting, eval, etc. techniques. Which blog posts have you all found most …

I've spent the past few years teaching business analysts at large financial institutions how to automate their Excel workflows with Python. My main takeaway are: 1. Business analys…

These are sweet -- thanks for sharing. > Bridging the Abstraction Gap Between End-User Programmers and Code-Generating Large Language Models I love the idea of giving users feedbac…

That's an interesting idea. When converting an Excel workbook to Python, checking your work as you go is the hardest thing for us to convince people to do. (See here: https://blog.…

Unfortunately, Mito only works in JupyterLab and Jupyter notebooks right now. Support for VSCode and Google Colab is on the roadmap.

Hey, I'm Aaron, co-founder of Mito. Funnily enough, doing "diff detection" in spreadsheets is like the first thing we made when building Mito. We built Git for Excel to enable bett…

Congrats on the launch! I created Mito, a spreadsheet the lives inside of Jupyter. We've seen a ton of our users using Jupyter and ChatGPT playground side by side. We're also exper…

This reminds me of an Upton Sinclair quote: “was one to believe that there was nowhere a god of hogs, to whine this hog personality was precious. To whome these hog squeals and ago…

Somewhere before "I had to procure a new VM just to open this Excel file", you should probably migrate to a database + Python

If when you say GSheets + Airtable, you're looking for a spreadsheet that is designed for data analysis +a let's you name columns and sets formulas to the entire column, then check…

Congrats on the launch Brandon + Brayden. I'm building something similar over at Mito ( https://www.trymito.io ), although we're Python first instead of SQL first. Would love to ho…

Its not an AI based approach, but it is a step up from writing code by hand -- you could try using open source Mito -> https://www.trymito.io -> full disclosure I built it -> to do…

This is very cool. I'm the creator of Mito [1] -- we're also building a data visualization tool in JupyterLab. The Tabluea approach that you took is really interesting! Going to se…

Congrats on the launch! I'm the cofounder of Mito[1], an open-core spreadsheet extension to Jupyter that generates the equivalent Python code every time you edit your data. We also…

The friction of getting started with Mito is something we spend a lot of time focusing on. For example, when it comes to the installation process, not only do users install Mito th…

For some non-technical users, Power Query is a better option. If your main purpose is to work with a large data set and then update a PowerBI dashboard, for example, then Power Que…
