Working on a web framework that provides some guardrails around what a coding agent can and can’t touch without human approval. Makes it easier to have confidence in 5000 line code changes without having to comb through the code.

It would be amazing if the showcase was itself vibe coded. If so, you should showcase it!

Oof… coincidentally my task for today is to implement Sign in with Apple.

If you were starting over what would you do differently?

What's The State Of Elm?

I love Elm but I think it's pretty clear that Evan is effectively declaring it as abandonware because he couldn't figure out a business model to sustain him.

What’s Evan Working On?

Sounds like he's talking to a handful of companies that he knows uses Elm and doing some tinkering without any defined objectives.

I’m waiting for the same signal. There are essentially 2 vastly different states of the world depending on whether GPT-5 is an incremental change vs a step change compared to GPT-4.

Would you be interested in merging with Vanna in some way?

You’re ahead of us in terms of interface but we’re ahead of you in terms of adoption (because of specific choices we’ve made and partnerships we’ve done).

Nice job getting something released! How does this compare to the other similar open source solutions like Vanna AI and DataHerald?

Looks really interesting! I saw something in the code about streaming. Could you explain that a bit more?

I've been looking for something like this! Does it optimize the prompt template for LangChain only or is there a way I can get it to generate a raw system prompt that I can pass to the OpenAI API directly?

I think of all the options for “carrots” and “sticks” that companies are offering for RTO, I like this one the best.

Founder of Vanna AI here -- appreciate the link and I agree, we're solving slightly different problems.

I’m trying to solve for this with my project using RAG and (at least based on what people say in Discord), it’s working really well for them: https://github.com/vanna-ai/vanna

That's a fair concern. In actual usage, however, the vast majority of hallucination (>90%) tends to be:

- phantom tables and columns, in which case the query will fail

- incorrect syntax for date functions (i.e. the wrong flavor of SQL)

And we tend to see less of this type of hallucination when there are lots of example SQL queries that have been "trained" into the RAG system.

Author of the package here. Apologies if this wasn't clear in the documentation, but what you're talking about is absolutely possible. Feel free to join our Discord -- we have other users who have this multi-tenant setup.

Yes, 100%! Can you turn this comment into a blog post so that I can send it to people who make this claim?
