My first knee-jerk reaction was "this guy must not run a SaaS then." But I see that you do, so I'll pull back the reins a bit. I don't see this at all. Businesses are still buying the same way they've always bought, and businesses still don't want to build (and maintain) their own internal tooling as much as the talking heads say they do. At least in my neck of the woods.

Very much not asleep, and very much not dead.


This industry is becoming so boring.

made my day

I'd imagine the attacker published a new compromised version of their package, which the author eventually downloaded, which pwned everything else.

LLMs rarely admit fault, you gotta shift blame onto the user:

> You're absolutely right! The transaction was submitted as $500,000 instead of $5.00. Since that's what was entered on your end, you'll need to contact your bank to resolve it. I will generate a letter for you to print, sign, and send to your bank if needed. Would you like me to generate a bankruptcy filing for you as well?


It's backed by a crypto wallet that it's using for its funds - if you decide to put $500k into the wallet that you've giving carte blanche access to an LLM, maybe you do deserve to shoulder some of the blame

Claude always says it is sorry for screwing up when I point out that it screwed up.

"Never apologize" into the customized instructions seems to work well for that specific issue.

Seriously hate how young people write these days. Like the OP covers, every sentence is on a new line, emojis everywhere, and too many memes. Does that make me old?

Zoomer here, guess I must be getting old too.

Yea, probably. My "old-man" pet peeve is people using "lol"/"lmao"/etc. as punctuation lol.

I think you'd have a better reaction if you allowed some public repos to be viewed before handing over the keys to the castle, so to speak. Even better would be allowing a public repo to preview itself via better-hub.com/{org}/{repo} would be slick. Expensive for you, but might help onboarding. As it stands, the call to action is poor, so unfortunately there's no way I'm going to login with GitHub and give a bunch of permissions to a new app posted on HN, no matter who built it.


This is my most missed app since switching from Mac to Windows. This new kid on the block looks like a solid replacement, though! Will definitely be checking it out.


It always happens that way. I guarantee some people migrated from Heroku to Railway and bragged about future stability to the team, only to experience this.


Yeah 100%

This won't change my decision, but it is still impeccable timing


I don't see how we need a brand new paradigm just because LLMs evidently suck at sharing context in their Git commits. The rules for good commits still apply in The New Age. Git is still good enough, LLMs (i.e. their developer handlers) just need to leverage it.

Personally, I don't let LLMs commit directly. I git add -p and write my own commit messages -- with additional context where required -- because at the end of the day, I'm responsible for the code. If something's unclear or lacks context, it's my fault, not the robot's.

But I would like to see a better GitHub, so maybe they will end up there.


They'll learn soon enough that selling to developers necessitates speaking clearly.


Dohmke never spoke clearly to developers when he was GitHub's CEO.


A CEO is never speaking to developers, he's speaking to other CEOs.


CEOs have many audiences; great CEOs communicate capably with each.

FWIW it's not entirely clear to me who Entire's long-term customer is, but the (interesting!) CLI that shipped today is very much for developers who are busy building with agents.


They will sell to their managers


No. With this kind of bullshit they plan to try to sell to C-levels and board members.

Edit: Actually it may just be aimed at investors. Who cares about having a product?


> Actually it may just be aimed at investors

The fact that the first image you see has "$60M seed" in big text, I have to agree, this does not feel aimed at devs.
