Cant wait for it to find my car keys

if true. this is insane

I thought this was an aprils fools joke. Then i realized it’s July..

Very nice! Keen to try this out, been avoiding to add any MS to my new mac, and bumping into office files a few times a week sucks.

I have to agree on fable being in another league. I’ve given it my most challenging problems and almost always comes back with a functional, solution 2-5 prompts away from a finished pr. Literally smashed our backlog - very impressed. What i found most efficient is to add “use sonnet agents for research” gets you really far, and on large not so novel tasks “use opus for tasks” by adding this it spins up many agents, works for 2+ hours in a usage window and completes A LOT of work.

I mean.. just take a minute and listen to the CEO. The guy is having a hard time time. Clearly out of touch imo.

Indeed. With Lowdefy we really try to go to great effort to abstract away the plumbing. We're very pleased with how simple the config surface is for these Agents.

Sure. We've been building Lowdefy since 2020, we use it as the web framework for all our consulting customers at https://resonancy.io , where we build back office software for businesses.

We've built all kinds of internal tools using Lowdefy, CRMs, reporting apps, ticketing systems, workflow, SOP and QC tools, call centre automation tools, customer portals, survey apps and more.

We find that having a well define abstraction framework in place helps us scale our custom apps really efficiently, particularly from a maintenance pov. Also sharing work across our team, etc. It helps if everything is pluggable, and well documented. By making Lowdefy open-source it has helped our team maintain the discipline to enforce best practices across our stack.

Lowdefy is very declarative, and it lets you build data intensive web apps in just a few lines of yaml. With AI code gen, this is where the power of the framework guard rails and generated apps really accelerate the apps we can create while following the same patterns that our team applies over all the solutions we build.

As for change in direction, no. We have a demand for building agentic experiences from our customers, and found that we could wrap it really nicely into the Lowdefy framework, especially when building in additional functionality like agents co-authoring web forms and more.

We feel that agents inside your apps is a great fit, since you can expose the same api routes, auth roles and more to agents with ease.

Well done on spawnfile. Looks very interesting!

Well done on the launch! We’ve doubled down on the apps as YAML paradigm a few years ago and its pay great dividends on all fronts, esp now with code gen spinning out apps faster than ever for us (generated yaml). Our largest app is well over 500k lines of yaml - for those complaining about 1000 lines lol. With the right tool stack and conventions its so much easier to read, write. review and maintain. Shameless plug, we’ve built Lowdefy (open source) and 100s of dashboards using it. Have a look and keen to unpack if you’re interested in sharing experiences. Specially have a look at what we did with operators for dynamic needs. https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy

It sure is hard. But have a closer look, these guys have been going over the results for 10 years improving, refining and discarding. What also helps is that they are highly regarded career scientists and engineers. Dig a little deeper on this one.. Not saying that it can’t be faulty experiments / results.. But truely nice to see some experimental science.

Well done on this milestone! Gave zed a decent chance last week and it wins on many fronts to replace my now scattered setup. 1. For me to use it I need to apply prettier formatting of the current project (maybe there is a way? i could not find it) 2. I need to run the claude cli, not an agent interface. or allow me to place the terminal on the left in the agent view or something.

for the everything else it was a win. will give it another chance in a month or three to see if it can do, excited to have a setup that easily navigates code diffs.

This is a very exciting field, more specifically in combination with asymmetric capacitors. Exodus Propulsion [0] under NASA’s lead scientist of electrostatics, Dr Charles Buhler and his team have been observing some very puzzling and exciting results. Would recommend anyone interested in this to check this out. [0] - https://www.exoduspropulsion.space As far as I know they are still trying to piece together the underlying physics, but they are 10 years in and 1000s of experiments later, some of which has been reproduced.

my naive opinion is that this will result in more bulky phones, with worse quality batteries.

simple. you reduce the surface that you need to manage and shift that responsibility to the framework.

choose a good one and your can save you and your llms 1000s of decisions and future maintenance overheads.

frameworks exists because they scale.

please also build it for easy multimedia management

any recommendations for a lambda based sftp sever setup?

Anyone else looking at these developments and thinking that local llms are the future. So many advantages above remote, and the hardware is just not there jet, but another leap like apple silicon and the tech is there..

Ofcourse large corps will have fancy proprietary models, but for every day queries and tasks, local feels like a huge, and just slightly out of reach.

Am i missing something fundamental?

how sure are we this entire “accident” is not an aprils fools joke??

Genius level AI marketing

now do Candy Crush..

there was a time when mainframes was the main thing.. we’ll look back and say data centers was a thing.. (hopefully if we lucky)

For me this is where a config layer shines. Develop a decent framework and then let the agents spin out the configuration.

This allows a trusted and tested abstraction layer that does not shift and makes maintenance easier, while making the code that the agents generate easier to review and it also uses much less tokens.

So as always, just build better abstractions.

This is a very cool idea. I’ve been dragging CC around very large code bases with a lot of docs and stuff. it does great but can be a swing and a miss.. have been wondering if there is a more efficient / effective way. This got me thinking. Thanks for sharing!

also my experience in using these two models. they are trying to recover from oversteer perhaps.

Don’t stress, its very likely that this problem was vibe coded :) It’s insane how much better Claude Code is compared to alternatives lately.

Great point here, the only thing that feels greedy to me is that these larger companies do not contribute back to the foundational libraries that they are building on, even to a minor extent for ecosystem improvements. Perhaps greedy is a strong word.

i’ve always felt that oss licenses needs to include responsible use terms or something. some orgs dont mind paying for value contributed but you need to provide a structure to do so, even if that is on a voluntary basis.

If anyone from Lovable etc sees these comments, great opportunity for sponsorship where it can make a difference upstream.

Some companies have done this well, at a stage Retool use to sponsor a number of open source libs which greatly helped them with exposure to devs. Surely a better way to spend ad revenue imo.

Please let us know if you launch this open source project, we’d all be excited to use it!

Same here, would love to share experiences. From South Africa.

I’m surprised no one mentions Knex. By far my childhood favorite, and for me, far more creative opportunity when comparing to something like lego.

It all depends on how you prompt. and the prompt system you’ve setup.. when done well, you just “steer” the code /system. Quite amazing to see it come together. But there are multiple layers to this.

As per other comments, if it’s making them money, why bother banning it
