    Then maybe you don't need them. Only you can answer that for yourself. That's kind of the point of my post. It seems like you're looking for an argument here, and I don't want to a…

    Because agents alone cannot create good software. You are paying for people who understand how to use the agents. LLMs are a tool, and software engineering as a discipline ain't de…

    Sure but if it's open-source then anyone is free to fork it to keep it going, if they want to. That's the beauty of open-source.

    Ok, I see where we diverge now. My project is free and open-source so there's no money at play here. It's a labor of love. I agree with you if you're talking about a for-profit pro…

    I imagine that this will happen organically if Luxury Yacht ever grows to the point that I can't maintain it alone anymore. Although given that it's such a niche thing, with a rela…

    Can you talk a little about what "further" means to you?

    Yeah I understand what you're saying here. Some of that is just me dealing with imposter syndrome. I pretty much know what a good app looks like, and I have definitely been through…

    Perhaps. I think AI changes the equation here. Honestly, AI changes what "solo developer" even means.

    I don't want to add telemetry. And I think this is where the solo vs team thing matters. I can just say "no telemetry" and I don't need to argue with anyone about it. I make the de…

    I'm doing exactly this. I started out only intending to create something for myself. As it got better, I thought that other people might want to use it. I briefly considered trying…

    I use orbstack but I wouldn’t say it was any inspiration for Luxury Yacht. I was inspired by https://infra.app which was my favorite app for managing k8s resources before it got ab…

    Author here. I know not everybody loves the name. If I was trying to sell it I might be concerned about that. But it's open-source, and I'm not trying to make any money off of it, …

    I'm not sure what an enterprise version would look like. I don't have any plans to ever charge for the app, so it'll never be "enterprise" in that regard. I also like k9s! That tea…

    Can you elaborate on what you mean by "manage kubeconfig files"? Do you mean how to create them? How to switch between them? Something else?

    Oh hey, no worries! I didn't take your post in a bad way. Headlamp is a great project and I honestly can't believe I hadn't heard about it until very recently. I'm glad you're spre…

    I never really felt great about Lens. The interface and workflow just never resonated with me. No shade to the crew behind Lens, it’s purely subjective opinion, and I’m sure a lot …

    Ah thanks, I’ll figure out why that’s happening because it should be using my git global defaults. edit: weird, it’s just the one latest commit, all the others are fine.

    Author of the app here. That’s one of the reasons I picked the name. When I was trying to come up with a name for this thing, I didn’t want another “k” name, but I did want somethi…

    Hey there. I didn’t submit this post but I am the author of the app. I didn’t know about Headlamp when I started working on Luxury Yacht. I only discovered it a few weeks ago. Head…
