How does this compare to templ and templui? I see from the docs that gsx is templ compatible. And why does this depend on node / npx? Something to do with the JSX syntax and parsing? I wish go std templates were more ergonomic for comp

I continue to love DBOS for how it just leverages Postgres (and now SQLite) properly. It's effortless to drop into an existing CRUD stack. Once you start down the "durable workflows" path, you start seeing them everywhere. My

We're thinking and designing with number of finance / VC / PE types. This is where the durable workflows can really help. I wouldn't trust a agent chat or SKILL.md for numbers just yet. But I would trust having a coding

Yes that's a good way to think about it. We started as a hosted claw of sorts. But the less technical folks wanted something more than chats and markdown to do their work. We then added a modern todo list interface. Having the agent cr

TL;DR we're building a unified UX / API / SDK / VM all around the concept of "inbox". Not just bolting AI on to search / draft / send. First its a question of the shape of a product. There are a few p

I love Hetzner for some of the cheapest cloud components that can do anything. One use case is a custom ACME cert broker and DNS server. Another is their storage boxes split up into sub accounts for my and friends backups and music. I'

Very interesting! As a small startup I'd love to ditch Slack, as its a walled garden and both under-featured and over-complicated at the same time. GitHub has been losing my favor too. Tangentially our startups is combining email, AI a

> None of the music videos were great Glad they acknowledge this. Curious how much time in addition to tokens this costs. If you have to spend $25 and wait 45 minutes to get a basically unwatchable video, I'm not worried about indie

Looks cool. I’m looking for a macro pad with a little LCD that’s Mac and Linux compatible. This looks like it has LEDs but not a screen. Any experience with https://www.eezbotfun.com/ or recommendations for something simila

Love Go + HTMX. I pair it with a-h/templ for a bit more type safety on the template, components and partials. I just shared my whole toolkit too [1], I call it the "GUS stack" -- Go, Unix, SQLite. Inspired heavily by the exe.

No question most folks will simply take the path of least resistance. We need to make it easier (and faster and cheaper) to get a secure cloud agent computer than it is to YOLO it on your own computer.

The home directory is the scariest thing to me. The agent needs the code to code, but it doesn't need your personal files or secrets. Personally I'm not worried about sharing business code with the model providers. The value of co

Another +1 to cloud sandboxes (and exe.dev) vs laptop sandbox. Runs 24/7 completely air gapped from your laptop. You also want a service proxy so the sandbox can access GitHub or Stripe without keys accessible to the agent. I haven&#x2

We all know the dangers of running agents with no permissions on our laptop. The good news is its now just as easy to spin up a sandbox in the cloud for an experiment or coding session than it is on your laptop. Possibly easier since laptop

Fair feedback and sentiment. As I build this out there's actually less and less AI in the product and more good old-fashioned UX, writing and data entry tools, and automations. Some examples... We're simply bringing a CRM CRUD for

Genuinely curious how quality is so poor at MS. Tech debt and deadlines and red tape? This is the company that invented the term dogfooding and forced everyone to use Exchange until all the bugs were worked out. I’m building a next gen web

What has worked for me… Pair programming. I call it pilot / copilot / autopilot. Two real people plus one or two agents working together. Classic XP stuff, the copilot can help remind what we are focusing on, file follow up issues

My impression too. Claude Desktop, Cowork, Code, Design all get meaningful new features week over week. I can’t recall another vendor with such focus and velocity. Google products are evolving at a glacial pace. OpenAI isn’t as focused on w

I do love Postgres and DBOS. I also recently started experimenting with https://github.com/earendil-works/absurd which is also Postgres and even simpler than DBOS. Their comparison is a great read: https://e

The screenshot in the post demonstrates show-off TUIs. That git TUI doesn't offer anything over `git` CLI. The network / battery / performance TUI is redundant with the tools in the window menu bar. I love the aesthetic of TU

I'm with you here. In the "before times" an API and web UI that double times as native via Electron was the biggest bang for your buck. CLI would be a hacker's side project, TUI would be them showing off more. Native wou

I agree, the LLM porting things is a game changer. Does it also follow that we can have pretty much any shape for valuable apps? API, CLI, TUI, Web, SwiftUI, WinUI...

I have a Hetzner box with Caddy too. The difference with exe.dev is multiple VMs. I have over 20 now with isolated apps, branches of the same app, etc.
