Kinda sorta. Second is actually using AI to rationalize your codebase, and modify your files. It's pretty different. I will say though, that a lot of my users / customers prefer to use AWS Amplify Hosting to keep everything on t

Funny enough, when I started Second, I was an A.I. skeptic. I was very resistant to it, and felt similarly to a lot of the comments on this page. I started out by building a really robust compiler that could handle lots of combinations of

This is a really great question, and to be honest I've been putting this off. But to be a big boy company, I'll have to sort this out soon.

- Agreed! Second is super limited right now. I have a good foundation in place though. I just need to build a lot more modules at this point - agree 100%. I will work on this - well, things ACTUALLY get interesting when you are adding f

Thanks! Let me know if you need anything, always happy to help fellow founders in anyway that I can

Trust me, I know alllll about co-founder conflict.

Agree 100%! I need to make a new video that shows pulling down the code locally, compiling, and running. I also want to create a temp hosting service so people can run the code as well to see what they are getting. Lol about music - I get

One of the great things about Second is that uses GitHub as the handoff of code between bot to human. This means you can run your own CI against the code changes that the bot generates, triggered by GitHub actions.

LOL! I'm old enough that I have experienced Dreamweaver before. And I can pleasantly say it's not like that! So far, the code that I've been able to generate looks like well written code that any reasonable developer would

I was worried about this as well. However, I think the solution to this is to create fine-tuned models on specific areas that OpenAI models won't be as knowledgable about (like Next.js 13 for example)
41.
by immortalloom 4y ago
Good question! I believe the accuracy will still be good, but it will just be more work for the bots to get it right (lots more files and code to reason with). So my OpenAI costs will prob go up a lot for bigger code bases. Hadn't th

How does it work?
43.
by immortalloom 4y ago
Thanks! Yes I see it the same way! Today, my bots specialize in Next.js (React). Honestly I haven't had a lot of requests for Angular, but I suspect that is because I have mostly been working with startups. My intent is to support a

Thanks! Right now the Starter is completely free. Do you mean a 2 week trial on the Pro?

by immortalloom 4y ago
Yea, it's going to be interesting to see how this all unfolds. In my opinion, the future of software development looks like this: 1) Human developer instructs A.I. bots to build large volumes of code (like Second) 2) Human developer us

Totally agree that I'm launching super early. I'm working really closely with some early customers to build out the modules that they need, and then I'll make those available for Pro users. Also completely agree that I need

The main value prop of Second is that it can generate large volumes of code for common web app features, and integrate it into your codebase via GitHub

by immortalloom 4y ago
Awesome thanks! I hope that some day people look back on the early 2020's and say "wow I can't believe developers wrote all the code BY HAND" Maybe they'll make documentaries about it.

by immortalloom 4y ago
Lol you are right! I'm not doing a good job presenting the value props on my homepage. I'll get better at this as I go along. Also, the video on this post and the homepage is about a month old! I had originally planned on makin

by immortalloom 4y ago
Yea you're totally right! So the more I learn on compilers vs GPT-3, the more of a maintenance issue things become. So as much as possible I'm using GPT-3, and then using compilers where it makes sense. I have had good results s

Funny enough, I did use second to build the authentication flows. But I've diverged a bit because I haven't had a chance to fully build out the other modules that Second will need. I'm planning on rebuilding Second with Seco

by immortalloom 4y ago
yea totally! My plan is to train models on companies design systems as well. I think if done correctly, it could be a huge boost to product development velocity.

Thank you!

I am solo, and God is it brutal

by immortalloom 4y ago
Today no. Today my bots specialize in Next.js. But with enough demand, I plan to also support Vue (Nuxt) and Svelt. It's possible that I may someday support .NET. I would like to eventually build bots that specialize in every framewo

Hah. To be honest, 2023 is going to be insane. I'm sure hundreds, if not thousands, of companies are going to emerge which greatly improve the software development process.
57.
by immortalloom 4y ago
Agreed! I would love that. I do plan on having "pre-configured" web apps as well to make it even easier.

by immortalloom 4y ago
The Stater plan is free for all time! If you upgrade to Pro, and for whatever reason it's not for you, I'll give folks a 100% refund. I'm not going to charge anything if it's not delivering real value. The 50% promo en

Also about being a solo founder. It's rough!

by immortalloom 4y ago
Lol well, I planning on making it the default last night! But I ran into some serious production issues (GitHub API calls suddenly started failing) so I got side tracked. If enough folks ask for it, I could prioritize it and make the code
