This type of discourse is just inane and more reflective of the author's sensibilities than anything it claims.

Congrats to the OpenAI team for one of the most significant breakthrough discoveries in AI history.

Show HN: I built a mini PowerBI for tech comps with no dev experience with Codex

muhneesh — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:26:13 +0000

Built The Matrix, a mini PowerBI-style app for tracking public tech comps.

It covers a fixed universe of consumer and enterprise tech companies, refreshes hourly, and includes a sortable coverage table, Rule of 40 / valuation views, a Playground for custom charts, company drilldowns, and exports. Metrics include EV / Revenue, Rule of 40, EBITDA, gross margin, capex, and SBC.

I had no prior app-building experience and built it with Codex. Curious what HN thinks is actually useful here.

Yes that’s right. Regulatory incentives are a barrier that we need to solve to make this easier.

This is my take too - that said, I think this is a structural problem across low-wage jobs. I don't think driving for Uber is inherently worse than working for Walmart or Amazon.

There needs to be greater orientation around skill acquisition that helps drivers, package handlers, etc. move up the skill stack.

Morgan Stanley did a driver poll that pretty much supported Uber's numbers.

I don't know anything about the business or cultural elements of Udacity, but they have such high quality of courses that this makes me genuinely sad. I hope they can figure out a business model - even if it leans B2B vs. B2C.

If anyone's reading this, what are you expecting in terms of outcomes from the public beta?

CB is usually outdated - unless they're reporting their revenue number or it leaks, it's just a guess.

Thanks for this - interesting that you focused the postmortem on technical lessons (other than #1).

I'm super curious around what the sales strategy was.

I'd imagine for devs, it would have to be around productivity (time saved by exporting vs. manually coding, adherence to consistent CSS standards, etc.).

For designers, I would imagine it would be around taking more of the software dev lifecycle - e.g. designers can now eat up part of the value that front-end dev provides. Based on that, designers should be more in demand, paid more, and so on.

Those seem like huge levers to pull from a PMF perspective, but to your point, maybe it all sounds great until you get into that conversation, and it's really not something that teams are looking for (at least right now).

At a high level, that makes some sense - these tools might not be the most practical way to get from point A -> point B today for a typical web or mobile app.

In my head, I'm wondering if they are just way too early? Going from design -> code -> UI is, in theory, less efficient than just going from design -> UI, in a programmable, customizable, scalable way.

Would a member of the Pagedraw team share a postmortem? Seems like this is a huge need and will be the future state of web / mobile design - what stopped you guys?
