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. https:&#x

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

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?

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.

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

One added benefit of RAG is that it's more "pluggable." It's a lot easier to plug into newer LLMs that come out. If and when GPT-5 comes out, it'll be a one character change in your code to start using it and still

What would be missing from that is the ability to look up what tables are in the database, how they join together, what terminology the business uses, preferences around whether to exclude nulls from certain columns, etc. This allows you to

That's basically what happens but the power is that in Python, you can do this: sql = vn.generate_sql(question=...) Which means that now the SQL can be executed and you can get the table, chart, etc in any interface. Flask: https:

Author of the package here. I think that it probably could handle that but may need more example SQL queries.

Author of the package here. Joining 5 tables is not a problem. The training does not necessarily require you to write the queries by hand. A trick that we've seen people do is to just train with DDL statements and then ask "leadin
