Really interesting product. A ton of these sandbox companies recently but it feels like no one has really nailed the experience for application builders yet.
Really excited to try this one out

I welcome more innovation in the code forge space but if you’re looking for an oss alternative just for tracking agent sessions with your commits you should checkout agentblame
In the case where a human edits a previously AI-generated line we simply track that as a human-produced line of code. We are thinking of making this a distinct subcategory because there's a lot of useful info in that data.
Regarding performance we haven't done rigorous benchmarks but we've been using this internally and haven't noticed any problems
> While some will praise Satya Nadella and hero-worship Sam Altman, breaking OpenAI into two parts will slow down momentum for LLMs and research while handing even more power to the Cloud and Azure in its future
Except that Microsoft nor Sam is responsible for the breaking of OpenAI. It was the non-profit board. Instead now Sam and co will have access to the Microsoft war chest, funding for more compute, chip design, and datasets so if anything they’ll probably move even faster than before.
> Microsoft taking Sam Atman and his followers in, is like shutting down your best investment just for a short-term benefit. These stories don’t usually end well for big corporations.
Again this makes little sense and its very clearly obvious how this makes long term sense for Microsoft. Also they did not initiate this move by OAI
> It’s the job of Venture Capitalist to praise Microsoft, Satya Nadella, and Sam Altman to vilify OpenAI’s board in all of this.
No it isn’t
> Microsoft eating OpenAI and poaching their talent, is the worst possible scenario for the startup that was just beginning to get momentum.
No firing the beloved CEO of the fastest growing tech startup in a decade and ignoring warnings from 80% of employees that they would quit is the worst scenario for a startup regardless of what Microsoft does
This whole post seems like really bad pattern matching by someone who is anti capitalism and tries to frame every scenario they see in business through that lens
I see little reason why building a UI today cannot be a superset of what was solved in the 90s so I’m curious to know what that solved subset looks like to you
Just a personal blog with some essays that I post occasionally to get myself in the habit of writing. My next post will be about living with chronic illness as a SWE and how to get through it
Curiosity/Knowledge: - Peter Zeihan (author) - Atomic Habits - Turn the Ship Around
Work: - Domain Modeling Made Functional by Scott Wlaschin - Designing Data Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppman
This is certainly a problem domain that needs to be solved imo so I'm rooting for Bloom unless they really prove to be harmful. We need better pipelines for people with talent and motivation to climb the social ladder and learn new skills outside of traditional academia.
You say it would literally be faster to stop feature work and fix the broken thing which is a laughably naive view on how these companies operate. That's just not an option unless you do it all on your own time in which case you will still be incredibly limited on what you can change and even if you make a significant fix there will be no extra reward for doing so. The incentives are all wrong.
The EdgeQL is the first graph-based query language that is more intuitive to me than plain SQL and the local dev experience has been far smoother than pretty much any other db I’ve used to date. Really excited to see this project mature.
I say 6 stories because you can reasonably have a 6-story walkup. Anything higher and you would need to add an elevator which could make things harder.
