I'm the co-founder and CTO at Seyy, Inc. Seyy is an AI enabled low-code tool that allows businesses to build sophisticated apps 10x faster and cheaper.

This is the end of online education as we know it.

Starting yesterday, Bard can answer any questions about YouTube videos.

Look at the attached screenshot. I'm asking to summarize a specific conversation in a 5-hour video. It took around 5 seconds for Bard to answer.

What!?

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@lpdahito IE for me. How else would I download Chrome for the first time?

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@svpino Hallucination is the biggest problem with LLMs IMO, stopping full fledged adoption of such models in the industry. Not having an answer is better than giving out the wrong answer :)

What is hallucination in AI and why is that one of the biggest roadblock for AI to "replace" humans?

@lpdahito Writing code that'll generate code for our users on https://t.co/n1eLGetDTa

@wydmanski_ That's where I feel modularisation is King, so you're always in control of introducing new technologies without impacting the existing. Or use Seyy that allows you to build in multiple technologies and change your preferred stack on the fly at any point in time 😄

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

There's an ocean of choices, but here's my thumb rule -
FE:
Only web - React
Web and mobile - Flutter
Only mobile - Kotlin/Swift

BE:
I/O intensive - NodeJS
Compute intensive - Java
ML related - Python

Low Code: SEYY .APP

This will get you started faster than anything else 😁

[Santiago @svpino]

Modern web development is the Cheesecake Factory of technology.

A 21-page menu of choices and things to consider when you only want to build a simple website.

This is ridiculous.

One of Python's famous principles is "There should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it." Web development is not that, but the complete opposite.

It wasn't always like this, and I hope we find a path to a more sane future.

P.S. Imagine my delight when I read these are just some of the stacks companies use: MERN, MEAN, MEVN, JAM, LAMP, and LEMP.

And there are more. Many more.

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@wydmanski_ I agree with RN if you just want mobile. However, IME FL web trumps RN web. KT and Swift do have their advantages too depending on what you're building.
Again, There's no one size fits all and you're bound to feel you chose wrong but it's important to get started

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@EdwardKens50830 Thanks. I do also always consider the fact that as your product grows, you may need to pivot which is why the most important thing is modularization, so you've the control to introduce a new tech stack at any time without affecting what's already done

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@svpino Software development is a creative job. And I don't think there'll ever be a "one size fits all" standard. But you definitely highlight why some people never start and get puzzled due to the ocean of choices. I have a cheat sheet that always works for me😁

@svpino Haha...That's what happens when you want to conquer the world with only what you know. That's where you can find something like https://t.co/KHrO7DLx6M very useful that allows you to build in multiple technologies by just understanding the patterns in software development.

The more time you spend planning, the less time you will need to write the code.

[Santiago @svpino]

I don't care if you are a data scientist or a machine learning engineer:

Test your darn code!

Not every piece of code is easy to test, but that's not justification to test none of it.

I'm not speaking about writing your tests first or any other dogmatic way of doing things. I'm just talking about a having a test suit that you can run after making changes to ensure everything is still working.

If your codebase doesn't have automatic tests:

• It's harder to debug and find problems in it
• It's harder to change and improve it
• It's harder to understand
• It has a lower quality
• It's likely more complex than it should be

It's funny to see the AI field going through the same pains and discoveries the software industry already experienced.

We've been there. We know what works and what doesn't.

Start writing automatic tests.

[Santiago @svpino]

Working for yourself is not about freedom. Let's face it: many people work more when they quit their jobs, not less.

I hear from freelancers saying how great is not to have a boss anymore. Weird. They now have to answer to many different bosses, which is much worse in many ways.

What makes working for you valuable is the power of compounding.

Every minute I work compounds in my favor. Every ounce of effort puts me and my business in a better position.

That's huge.

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@lpdahito If that's mean, what'd you call someone who goes data, data1, data2...

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@lpdahito AI enabled low code tool - seyy .app

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@lpdahito No kidding! IMO that's the biggest reason for poor quality software. The biggest nightmare of a lead or a CTO is having programmers who find ways to not stick to the standards laid for better quality. That's why we built seyy .app 🙂

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@svpino No, they're mostly the same prompts (>95%). I should point out that our product, a low code tool, doesn't rely on external LLMs at its core and uses external LLMs to assist our users, and add value by contextualizing the responses. That's how we safeguard the core of our product.

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@nocodemba @memberstack Consider https://t.co/KHrO7DKZhe for building your next app :)

[Dilesh Tanna @dilesht]

@tekbog Even better: Every dev hosts locally and have a router that navigates to the right machine based on the feature a user needs
Take it up a notch by removing the router and let the users randomly see a different version every time
