Let's say I want to have a somewhat genereric CRUD-app: A database, some application logic, a login system, logging/telemetry and a UI. What kind of stack should I use so that tools like Darwin (or just plain old copilot) can be most effective?

Most effective in what way? Are you looking to generate an app from scratch or have AIs work on an existing project?

From scratch

Is it open source? I can hardly imagine giving access to my code to another service without a clear understanding what it does

It's not open source. Do you have any specific questions about what it does? I'm still working on how to better communicate this to users.

Things like this are clearly the future. Having seen how some open source projects are run, and how we delegate some tasks to juniors, LLMs can play a major role. Imagine not having have to spell out a response to a bug report or a feature request, but the LLM gives you three options and you just pick one. Super simple and that alone would be an insane boost for productivity.

For Darwin, one improvement that comes to mind is to make a catalog of blueprints with common actions, so users have less to configure.

Good luck with the product!

It asks for access to my private repos. I don't want to give a brand-new AI tool access to my private repos. But if it looking at my private repos was optional, I would try it.

I get that! In order to check out the repo, these permissions are required though. What could I do to make you feel comfortable granting those permissions?

It said it needed read and write access to my email. I don't think it should even need read access. I probably wouldn't mind giving you my email separately as a signup.

I wouldn't want to rely on anything for my daily workflow that I can't self-host.

This is great feedback, thank you!

I like it! I built a command line AI coding assistant for my projects ( https://codemancer.codes ) when GPT-4 first came out, but still think this space is wayyy under explored given the possible capabilities.

There you go, GPL, now we're talking.

I understand that people gotta make money, but giving access to something as insanely critical as a company private repo... it's either a huge company the lawyers can talk to, or this.

Open source.

Definitely checking out codemancer.

That was definitely not my intention. I'll take a closer look at the permissions.
