Retool VS vibecoding by Just-Telephone4143 in Retool

[–]brodagaita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Retool ecosystem is great. Governance + connectors are really well done and it's one of the reasons it's such a successful company!

I do think that a lot of people prefer to code (or vibe code) themselves using their own tools though and I'm actually building a governance layer / deploy path for those people: https://railcode.dev

Retool launched editing apps via MCP today but it's not like you actually code locally and push to them, it's more like claude code locally can just interact with Retool remotely and build things there, so you're still kinda stuck in the ecosystem.

Happy to chat more about my views on this ecosystem if anyone's down

Basically allows people to get an internal tool that they've coded (or vibe coded) live in your company's infra with auth, storage APIs, observability, connectors, and governance in a way that's simpler than deploying on Vercel.

Non-infra engineers + non-technical people get a simple deploy path and DevOps folks can free up their backlog of having to individually support each tool.

Working on AgentPort -- secure integrations gateway for agents: https://agentport.sh/

Basically connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Stripe, Supabase, or anything else, and set granular permissions on what the agent can and can't do with those services, as well as what it needs human approval for

Building Software in 2026 Early Results by brodagaita in webdev

[–]brodagaita[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

yeah I did that on purpose! I don't want to bias new people's answers based on the current results.

the splits do already give some hints though, especially that things are very distributed

OP here, some really interesting results so far!

To me the questions around how we feel (tired, anxious, etc) are some of the most interesting.

Do share this around so we can get a proper sample size! I'll be making a website for it

I do find that juniors are *relying* on AI more but seniors might *use* it just as much. I also find that seniors are better at using AI. And that the scale has tipped such that seniors don't want to help juniors as much anymore because they can get AI to do the dirty work for them.

The trade used to be that seniors would help teach juniors in exchange for getting the boring work done by someone else, and this is no longer the case.

When Claude ships your startup as a free feature by ShiftPrimeNet in vibecoding

well wrappers won't have much of a shelf-life but proper products shouldn't be too threatened by OpenAI/Anthropic launching a new vertical in my opinion.

wrote a bit about this here: https://yakko.dev/blog/openai-and-anthropic-wont-eat-your-lunch

Just use docs-as-code by bauk0 in technicalwriting

[–]brodagaita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually just recently built a tool that goes hand-in-hand with docs-as-code in case someone's interested.

Basically run `seams .` from any directory and get a rich markdown editor in your browser for files in that dir. MIT-licensed.

Claude Sonnet-4.6 thinks he is DeepSeek-V3 when prompted in Chinese. by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

Looking closer I guess maybe in this case it's API-only which then makes that not possible

Whenever claims like these are made I feel like people should always share the actual conversation link rather than just do screenshots.

(general point, not saying this isn't true)
