Instead of making and maintaining specific, rigid, one-shot starters, like create-react-app, or create-nextjs-app, this is basically create-anything-app where you develop your scaffolding prompt in a tight loop with your smol dev.

thanks for hunting @chrismessina! I just got in a rage of frustration that the first thing all my AI founder friends do after getting funding is turn around and spend most of their time recruiting like the pre-AI founders do. aren't we supposed to be AI believers? I want to at least be able to hand off part of my job to a personal junior developer, and if I don't believe that can be done then I...

Hey there PH! I'm excited to introduce you to smol-developer, an open source tool I created to make prototyping apps frictionless and fun.
As developers, we spend a lot of time setting up configs and boilerplate code to get our projects off the ground. I got tired of all the repetitive setup for new ideas, so I built smol-developer - a scaffolding system that spins up anything from a Chrome...

Having previously come from another orchestration company, I have some appreciation for the problem. Dagster is one of the most impressive tools I've ever seen in the space, and laser focused on developer experience in the data domain.

congrats on launching guys! was floored by Budibase when I was able to just throw away the onboarding/tutorial and make my own CRUD app in minutes with no training whatsoever. layer on top of that the fact that it is open source and integrates with all the things, it is a clear choice over Retool now!

Loom has been gamechanging for my bug reporting flow, so when I first understood this as "Loom for Developers" I was instantly hooked. The landing page itself will be instantly familiar to any fans of Bret Victor's time travel programming demonstrations - which is impressive enough, but making this work for any generic JavaScript, performant, sharable, and inspectable with familiar browser...

i joined the original B4D cohort and saw Monica bootstrap her own course to 1k people in 2 weeks - dogfooding in the realest, most skin-in-the-game way! much respect and even as an experienced blogger i learned a lot. thank you for sharing this.
