Curious to know why you think ERPs are done. I actually do somewhat agree with you in that their best days are behind them.

It is going to be incredibly difficult to bill outrageous amounts for armies of consultant to implement or customise the product when agents can do the same for much less, or at-least a 5-10x reduction in headcount for similar complexity of changeset.

If anyone is in the industry, please feel free to chime in as to what you are seeing on the ground.

look into ~/.bun/install/cache/@openai folder as well.

for some reason I had 11 separate codex and codex-code-mode-host binaries in mine. each weighing about ~300 MB.

I guess now we know who bought the name from museapp

https://allume.com/memos/2026-07-allume-v4/

Seems like they changed names internally from "Hatch" (some UI still uses hatch instead of muse)

Ladybug looks promising after KuzuDB was sunset (acquired by Apple).

However, I really miss the content posted by the KuzuDB team on their YouTube channel.

I wish WhatsApp did... hopefully it goes the way of BBM and a more developer friendly platform becomes the norm among normies.

LM studio recently released a mobile app powered by Tailscale -- https://lmstudio.ai/link . Iroh seems like a perfect OSS alternative for implementing similar p2p features.

100% agreed regarding shipping a read-replica, for any sufficiently complex enterprise app (ERP, CRM, accounting, etc.).

Customers need it to build custom reports, archive data into a warehouse, drive downstream systems (notifications, audits, compliance), and answer edge-case questions you didn’t anticipate.

Because of that, I generally prefer these patterns over a half-baked built-in analytics UI or an opinionated REST API:

Provide a read replica or CDC stream. Let sophisticated customers handle authz, modelling, and queries themselves. This gets harder with multi-tenant DBs.

Optionally offer a hosted Data API, using something like -- PostgREST / Hasura / Microsoft DAB. You handle permissions and safety, but stay largely un-opinionated about access patterns.

Any built-in metrics or analytics layer will always miss edge cases.

With AI agents becoming first-class consumers of enterprise data, direct read access is going to be non-negotiable.

Also, I predict the days of charging customers to access their own goddamn data, behind rate-limited + metered REST APIs are behind us.

This is really amazing. I hope some regulation like DMA comes to India as well.

Does WhatsApp charge money for this? If not, why would a business use their API? They could simply create an app to directly talk to their customers, or am I missing something?
