Companies game them too. One of my primary hosts will have a outage where all my envs are down, users are timing out, etc. I'll check the status page: "Partial outage affecting some customers in select regions" (in orange, not red). Good news though because that doesn't count against their uptime percentage so we're still at 99.99%! I'll pass that on to my customers who can't do their jobs.
Go was my first language, and I still use it every day for projects tiny (scripts) to massive (1M+ line microservice projects) and love it! Thank you to the Go team for everything you have done over the last 2 decades.
What benefit does this provide over an excellent API + MCP access?
I often find my users want to throw their Claude at it and have everything handled. Users have even developed their own local UIs using Claude Design. As long as they are within the bounds of the MCP I already provide access to, no problem. This also has the added benefit of using the AI subscription the org already pays for (or using the customers).
Edit: Congrats on the launch and thanks for open sourcing!
I don't know - I think these Vendo guys are onto something here. Businesses will absolutely need to do this.
As a data point, our users are going a step further. We gave away our desktop software as OSS and our users fork and vibe code on top with the entire stack. They get the benefit of not having JavaScript powering a media heavy app since we wrote it in Rust. Now we have users making their own tutorials about it.
I think non experts will appreciate engineers solving for smoothness, distributed systems, and all the hard parts that can back them into corners. They want to fill in the UX / workflow pieces themselves.
I think these "hard part" pillars will endure for a while longer.
But you're going to have to give away more than you've ever given away before. Treat your users as junior engineers on your team. That's the new normal.
And for full disclosure, none of our users have software backgrounds whatsoever. They're just heavy into Claude Code as complete software newbies. It's really awesome to watch them building really neat workflows.
Great question! Honestly, not a lot. This is moreso for the rest of the population that does not even know Claude Code exists. A lot of our customers are vertical SaaS's that have tons of non-technical users using their product every day, and we want to bring them the power of claude code right inside their product.
I think you bring up a good point though on how consumption of software will evolve (and the possibility of Claude just being the entrance to everything), and I think this is soemthing we have been thinking a lot about as well.
A plague on our land. Hopefully the recent Chatrie v. United States decision gives courts the ammo they need to shut these down.
There is a big difference in a cop seeing you go by, checking a list, and coming after you than scanning every license plate, bumper sticker, etc. and putting in a database for every cop in the country.
I don't even have a problem with every cop being equipped with an automatic ALPR... So long as the data is not retained. I do believe that we need better auditing and oversight in response to the availability, but it's not a great evil that an APB can be virtually guaranteed to catch a car... So long as we're using them carefully and judiciously, in response to immediate and recent threats or a clearly understood long tail. There's supposed to be a balance of power; it's not evil to give the police new powers, but it is evil to give politicians unanswered and unlimited tracking of the movements of anyone they so desire.
GrapheneOS support for Fairphone is unlikely to ever happen. Their hardware is too insecure to satisfy GOS's reasonable requirements [1] and have stated that they aren't interested in improving it [2]. Software is also lacking and they've partnered with Murena [3], who has been slinging shit at GOS [4].
> On a more positive note, due to the AOSP/Pixel drama there now is a real possibility a different major OEM will be supported
I really do not know which other major OEM other than exynos-based samsung that comes near GOS' checklist, but here I am hoping if he is talking about Nothing phone.
That's excellent news that they're partnering with an OEM to make something. Here's hoping it's someone like Framework that has sustainability in mind as well.
Why not Framework themselves? By now, they have brand recognition to certain extent and a ready customer base - I think a Framework phone with choices of GrapheneOS or LineageOS or standard Googleized option could be a very compelling product.
That is if they can sort out their availability gaps.
Their phones are sold in the USA through Murena. I've bought a fairphone 4 through them. It was preloaded with eOS but I loaded calyxOS on it, which is similar to GrapheneOS.
