Two days ago, with the launch of OpenAI’s AgentKit, people were claiming that similar tools and startups would become obsolete.

I think the pie is big enough for everyone to benefit.

I haven’t tried these agent-and-connector-based approaches yet — where should someone start to get a good grasp of this kind of automation?

I doubt it, looking at the VCs involved, this is probably a pump & dump to have an exit to OpenAI. Hence also the strong repositioning towards AI - which n8n seemed to have done in this year.

Google Docs and Sheets are still a great way to store data, and this ongoing AI boom will make many people rich while also bringing societal benefits.

Finding such opportunities and making them sustainably profitable is truly great.

I still prefer Google Sheets somehow... Let's see how many people think the same

If this happens, that's great, but humans still need to understand any amount of code.

A few years ago in India, I saw a presentation where people were attempting to write programming in their mother tongue.

One such effort I found on GitHub is https://github.com/betacraft/rubyvernac-marathi (for Marathi, an Indian dialect).

I built this: https://github.com/dvcoolarun/web2pdf — a CLI tool for converting web pages to PDFs, recently open-sourced after adding several new features. (Might be useful!)

Not related to the thread, but if anyone is looking to hire a developer or knows of opportunities, I was recently let go and am actively searching. Any leads or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Summary: I have been working in the web development space for the last 7-8 years. I have experience building large-scale web applications using the React/Django Stack and have shipped multiple projects in the past. I have worked in multiple domains including E-commerce, Travel, Carbon Emission, Payment, and Automation, and have built SPA, Dashboards, Landing Pages, email templates, and Python automation scripts.

I am always looking for interesting and challenging projects and enjoy collaborating with smart individuals.

Feel free to contact me :)

I’m hearing this argument from a lot of people. I think it’s more of a feeling that anyone can contribute, and now it’s a matter of taste and stamina—who persists and who fizzles out.

Probably also tied to changes in neuroplasticity, I guess. Humans are generally good at adopting new behaviors.

I recently learned that diff algorithms (beyond just code comparison) are used to detect database schema and configuration drift. I thought that was a pretty intriguing application!

I believe technical taste is a form of curiosity; it grows as you explore different paradigms and seek out good-quality software for your craft.

While many people program only for the salary, this lacks the obsession that good taste requires.

We can often recognize a person's taste by the content they share over their feeds.

I believe "stupid code" is useful for sticking concepts or quick prototypes together.

But for strategic decisions, having a well-researched document (a PRD or similar) helps as a starting point for iteration, and the approach you take will be influenced by your team's culture.
