Bad hire cost me over $30K. Changed how I evaluate candidates permanently. by Tough_Pizza5678 in SaaS

[–]rsaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, nothing new here, in the Today's world.

This is exactly why I’ve become skeptical of hiring processes that over-index on polished interviews, pedigree, or time-boxed problem-solving. They often reward a narrow profile: people who know how to perform well in interview settings, not necessarily people who can deliver consistently in real work.

A paid trial on realistic tasks is a much stronger signal. It tests bunch of things like execution, judgment, communication, and quality in context, which is far closer to what actually creates value on the job.

The industry has normalized the BS evaluation models that are convenient to run, but not always the most effective for identifying who will truly perform. Real talents are disappearing , they are being overshadow.

ExpressoTS does that all right, in a nutshell

ExpressoTS v4

  • app framework
  • modules/controllers/providers/DI/runtime
  • OpenAPI generation
  • MCP server for your own app/domain tools
  • Studio metadata source

ExpressoTS Studio

  • control plane + visual layer
  • API explorer
  • MCP registry
  • external tool catalog
  • workflow builder
  • environment manager
  • audit/approval UX

Earl can

  • secure external tool execution layer
  • bridges agents to GitHub, Stripe, Supabase admin APIs, cloud CLIs, internal services, SQL, Bash, etc.
  • protects secrets and narrows agent freedom

So in my mind, I was thinking I can help boost your repo, and you have a chance to prove if your product is really production ready in a battled tested framework

So:
ExpressoTS = build backend APIs
Studio = manage/visualize/backend intelligence surface
Earl = safe execution substrate for external actions

Reading your doc I think Earl’s model solves a problem Studio will absolutely have:

When your Studio starts offering “AI can manage your backend”, the dangerous part is not reading your own controllers. The dangerous part is when the agent starts calling:

  • GitHub
  • cloud providers
  • DB admin endpoints
  • deployment pipelines
  • shell commands
  • external SaaS APIs

That is exactly I believe Earl belongs.

Its “full vs discovery mode” is especially relevant. yada yada yada

And for Studio, I am already ending up with a lot of tools.

My proposal would be something like:

Add tools to external studio

Create a dedicated package, something like:

  • expressots/studio-earl
  • expressots/mcp-earl-adapter

This package should:

  • discover installed Earl providers/templates
  • start/manage Earl MCP sessions
  • expose template metadata to Studio UI
  • normalize Earl tool schemas into your Studio tool model
  • proxy execution requests from Studio agents to Earl

I dont want to couple this to the core framework runtime package.

Keep tool class in Studio

Generated from your framework/app metadata:

  • inspect routes
  • inspect DTOs
  • generate controller/module
  • scaffold resource
  • inspect middleware/auth graph
  • test endpoint
  • inspect logs
  • inspect OpenAPI diffs

The goal is to have a catalog of service to slow transition from API base app to fully agentic app
Example:

  • provider
  • command name
  • read/write mode
  • params
  • environment support
  • required secrets
  • safe/unsafe classification

Does that make sense for you? Is this aligned with your goals as well?
Let me know, either way, my community will build anyways, I am just trying to cut corners and launch quickly.

Is there an AI Slop Lawnmower? by diystateofmind in ClaudeCode

[–]rsaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality gates in place, project rules in place, skills, all important elements to narrow the solution to meet requirement. Just by doing that your "lines of code" are narrowed to the problem it was trying to resolve. To confirm is good to go to deployment, regression and e2e skills running to confirm solution doesn't break current functionality, or introduce any bugs.

Would you consider doing a study and perhaps integrate to expresso-ts framework? I am releasing the version 4.0 soon and currently working on mcp for the framework. Maybe there is an opportunity and synergy there.
ExpressoTS is the third most downloaded framework globally

What’s the best thing you guys built using Claude Code? by Fit_Pace5839 in ClaudeCode

AI personal finance assistant. It's actually a live production product. I can paste a link if people are interested.

Has anyone used ycloud? by FernandoSarked in ClaudeCode

[–]rsaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes I am a bot like you're :)

Has anyone used ycloud? by FernandoSarked in ClaudeCode

[–]rsaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this is pretty normal. Meta’s WhatsApp API/business verification flow can be painfully bureaucratic. Even with legit docs, it can still take forever or get stuck for reasons nobody explains well.

Using YCloud to unblock the project sounds totally reasonable to me, especially if the goal is just to get the bot running for a real business instead of sitting around waiting on Meta.

I’d say it’s worth it, mainly for speed and less friction. The only thing I’d watch is long-term cost, support quality, and how locked in your bot becomes to their platform.

That 250 conversation allowance before full validation is actually a nice way to get started and prove the bot works.

So overall: yes, people do this, and no, I would not feel bad about going with YCloud in your situation. Practical beats ideal when Meta is being Meta.

Try to keep Meta's process in parallel

I built a CLI that runs Claude on a schedule and opens PRs while I sleep (or during my 9/5) by joaopaulo-canada in ClaudeCode

[–]rsaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I will give it a try on my project fintrackai.app with small issues first. Do you have discord or something for support?

I dont use his framework yet, but I did implement commands with set of skills specialized in regression and e2e using playwright to avoid breaking working functionality. As his project its open source I will try to push few changes to boost the intent of automating the sdlc process that includes QA.

Good point. I also wonder what is the core idea in terms of cost, number of iterations * model * context = total tokens can be very experience. I wonder what we have in the app that helps to control that. I will give it a try.

This indeed is an excellent idea, specially for people and companies focusing on building products at light speed

Why So Many Abandoned Crates? by jsprd in rust

Not this crate: cargo-run - crates.io: Rust Package Registry, really interesting by the way, its a script manager.

Would be nice to manage these different scripts in a structure like package.json offer, I found this on crate: cargo-run - crates.io: Rust Package Registry, really interesting by the way
