Hey folks! I'm the Head of DevRel at DataStax and we couldn't be more excited to be joining forces with Langflow to help more developers easily build and deploy AI applications.
As part of this announcement, Langflow has released an alpha of their 1.0 product. Langflow is free, open source and vendor agnostic and we'd love for you to take it for a spin.
It's a simple `pip install` and we're hear to capture any and all feedback:
Thank you for sharing! As the world is hurtling toward a world of conversational interfaces and intelligent apps, I am excited for how this will impact the shift in how developers build, and how people utilize it.
Hey folks I'm the Head of DevRel @ DataStax here and just wanted to share to the HN community that in conjunction with this big acquisition news, the LF team has shipped 1.0-alpha of Langflow.
It's a simple `pip install` and the team would love any and all feedback!
For anyone who prefer consuming video content to text, here's a recorded livestream of engineers from DataStax and Langchain breaking down this app in detail:
People who weren't there don't understand, but the world before "Ask Your Developer" was completely different than the world we live in today where developers are at the heart of how decisions are made, products are built and how the world itself is changing.
I joined Twilio in 2012 and I saw first hand how pivotal Jeff was in supporting the idea that in order for a platform to be successful it needed to treat developers like first class citizens, and not simply the recipient of a "directive to integrate" from the CTO.
This idea wasn't simply a fist bump to devs for cool points, it was a recognition that developers themselves held the key to innovation and creating radically new things. This culture led to entirely new ways of building API docs, designing developer dashboards, creating developer events, and so on.
So many of these things have become mainstream and the new baseline for platform companies that people forget how unlikely it was in the beginning and how hard Jeff had to fight to keep the company from treating developers as a means, and not as an end. And I think all developers who are happily hacking away on a free tier of a cool API with excellent docs and a vibrant developer community should tip their hat to a person who helped make this normal and influenced a generation of leaders to do the same.
Courier Inbox comes with web and mobile SDKs that are highly customizable, and we wanted to push the limits and see what we could build using them. We landed on the idea of Puppygram, an Instagram clone that displays nothing but pictures of cute puppies. We built the server using Next.js, Random.dog and Inngest.
We wrote-up a technical tear-down blog post [1] and have posted all source code [2] [3] on Github.
I had never heard of dnsmasq [1] before, this is a super useful tool! I frequently run into issues developing locally where certain 3rd party services (Intercom, for example) won't work properly on localhost.
This is devastating, not just for computer geeks in Seattle, but all over the world. The LCM was one of a kind.
I organize an annual developer conference [1], and one of the highlights of my life was renting this place out and inviting ~400 fellow devs to spend the night playing with mainframes & vintage PCs [2] and signing karaoke.
I was at that cascadia conference and getting to visit LCM was the most amazing and unexpected treat I could have ever imagined. It was an entire evening of geeked out bliss. I can't thank you enough for making that happen. The talks were all great but this for me was the highlight of the conference.
I'm not optimistic in Triplebyte's ability to execute here because I think they fundamentally think of developers as "content" and recruiters as the primary customer.
Shameless plug:
If anyone would like to create a developer profile that you have full control over and that doesn't expose you to recruiter spam, please check out what I'm building at https://fizbuz.com.
Unfortunately that's the easiest way to build a real business around recruiting. Same with car sales. If you do your job well, the user won't come back for a few years. Therefore the user has to be the recruiting companies which guarantee repeat business
