    Working on a web framework that provides some guardrails around what a coding agent can and can’t touch without human approval. Makes it easier to have confidence in 5000 line code…

    It would be amazing if the showcase was itself vibe coded. If so, you should showcase it!

    Mobile app that lets you continue coding while you’re away from your computer. The goal is to be a full mobile IDE that lets you use Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other agentic code…

    Oof… coincidentally my task for today is to implement Sign in with Apple. If you were starting over what would you do differently?

    What's The State Of Elm? I love Elm but I think it's pretty clear that Evan is effectively declaring it as abandonware because he couldn't figure out a business model to sustain hi…

    I’m waiting for the same signal. There are essentially 2 vastly different states of the world depending on whether GPT-5 is an incremental change vs a step change compared to GPT-4…

    Would you be interested in merging with Vanna in some way? You’re ahead of us in terms of interface but we’re ahead of you in terms of adoption (because of specific choices we’ve m…

    Nice job getting something released! How does this compare to the other similar open source solutions like Vanna AI and DataHerald?

    Looks really interesting! I saw something in the code about streaming. Could you explain that a bit more?

    I've been looking for something like this! Does it optimize the prompt template for LangChain only or is there a way I can get it to generate a raw system prompt that I can pass to…

    I think of all the options for “carrots” and “sticks” that companies are offering for RTO, I like this one the best.

    Very cool. Would the license allow for use with Vanna? https://github.com/vanna-ai/vanna

    Founder of Vanna AI here -- appreciate the link and I agree, we're solving slightly different problems.

    I’m trying to solve for this with my project using RAG and (at least based on what people say in Discord), it’s working really well for them: https://github.com/vanna-ai/vanna

    That's a fair concern. In actual usage, however, the vast majority of hallucination (>90%) tends to be: - phantom tables and columns, in which case the query will fail - incorrect …

    Yes, 100%! Can you turn this comment into a blog post so that I can send it to people who make this claim?

    Comment #38997077

    One added benefit of RAG is that it's more "pluggable." It's a lot easier to plug into newer LLMs that come out. If and when GPT-5 comes out, it'll be a one character change in you…

    I've noticed this as well. Do you have any theories as to why that is?

    What would be missing from that is the ability to look up what tables are in the database, how they join together, what terminology the business uses, preferences around whether to…
