I understand the sentiment and I've been involved in software engineering in various roles for the last 25+ years. The thing that gives me hope is that never once in that time has the problem ever been that we didn't have more work to do.

It's not like all of a sudden I'm working 2-3 hours a day. I'm just getting a lot more done.

Nostalgia is a heck of a drug. :-)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Last week OpenAI pushed out an AI agent orchestration framework called Swarm. I liked how lightweight it is compared to other open source LLM frameworks that I find overly complex. Unfortunately, OpenAI positioned it as an experimental framework and on their GitHub page said they wouldn’t be accepting any PRs for enhancements. It doesn’t sound like they’re going to maintain it. That’s too bad because it is a nice approach for developers looking for a simple solution to orchestrating AI agents.

So I forked it and I spent some time making it work with Anthropic and Groq LLMs. The result is Microagent.

What are we appreciating exactly?
I would much rather they shut down.
Looks like Oracle employees have managed to beat the brigading protection on HN.

Do you have a link to the notebook?
Everyone should use the terminology I prefer.

I had a similar realization when I was at Google. Someone made the observation that if Google had a one-in-a-million error, that meant it was happening 50-60 times per second.

What happens when the last coin is mined and there's no incentive for people to run the network of computers that validates transactions? It seems like at that point the value would go to zero.
Re:Show HN: Open Source TailwindCSS UI Components on Wednesday April 17, 2024 @10:53AM (#40065544)
First off, thanks for doing something cool and releasing it as open source! Second, think the person 2 messages up has a valid point and I would like to offer the same constructive feedback.

As someone who is doing a lot of React/Tailwind development lately the more you can assemble larger pages from independently usable components the better. For example here: https://easyfrontend.com/components/ui/all/html?page=1

It would be useful sometimes to be able to search for a "card" component that I want to use rather than remember that I want to see cards I need to go to Blog #10. This seems to be my normal intent when I'm using a framework is that I'm trying to find a [card, dialog, select box, data table, etc].

Anyway though, don't let the feedback get you down, it's awesome and greatly appreciated that you're releasing nicely designed Tailwind UI components. Github repo starred and thread upvoted!
