Show HN: LLM Applications from Yml Files

Tue, 11/05/2024 - 10:21pm

You build LLM applications with YAML files, that define an execution graph. Nodes can be either LLM API calls, regular function executions or other graphs themselves. Because you can nest graphs easily, building complex applications is not an issue, but at the same time you don't lose control. The YAML basically states what are the tasks that need to be done and how they connect. Other than that, you only write individual python functions to be called during the execution. No new classes and abstractions to learn.

Do not need to talk too much. Just take a look at 'Jetelina'. It amazes you. The introduction video is my recommendation at the first.

Ask HN: I think I'm done with tech. Burnout constantly. Now what?

Tue, 11/05/2024 - 9:54pm

I've been working in tech the last 5 years.

This is a rant.

I'm constantly burning out at my job now. I hate how shit the work is, fucking pushing shit features for a shit codebase that adds negative value to the world.

There is no craftsmanship in anything anymore, just rush everything out the door full of bugs, everything is just money at the end of the day. No time to spend time making quality valuable products.

Golden bloody handcuffs, earning a decent amount, but to what end?

Constant layoffs, restructuring, bastard management and HR, no stability, no pay-rises, and no end in sight. As a worker I feel worthless. Treated like scum.

I love computers. I love learning, I love the power of programming. I hate that this capitalist shit-hole we live in means that the only Software we build is software that makes money. Marketing automation!? Fuck me!

What the hell do I do?

I want a consistent job, stability, to be treated well, not just a number on a spreadsheet. I want a job where I can learn maths or science or computer programming/hardware, and not have my livelihood held to ransom by conservative lackwits in government cutting down on "non-essential" things like education.

I hate this trajectory the world is on. I had so much hope for the world when I was younger. I'd hate to show younger me current me.

Ask HN: How to build SaaS that makes money?

Tue, 11/05/2024 - 9:53pm

I understand that age old wisdom is not start with money as sole motivator. However, I don't have a choice. Building SaaS is the only way out. Let's keep the backstory aside and not focus on it.

I have too many ideas and I have build a product partially. I got paid for doing manual work. I am afraid locking down on one idea is putting all eggs in one basket. If that does not work I will end up losing 6 months and some capital and opportunity cost.

How do I choose the product roadmap and what to build. I have been proficient in full-stack development, data engineering, and partly with ML/AI. No research experiece but that is not going to pay me anyway.

How do I build when there is SaaS overflow with AI app every day with Twitter bros advertising they made $10k in 3 months?

Customers are flooded with emails, ads, apps. What are ways you market your SaaS and make money?
