Author here, I’ve updated the post. The first draft of this app and blog post took me two hours, but I kept coming back with new ideas and tweaks throughout the week. By the end, I’d certainly spent more than two hours (more like 8?), so you’re right, I just failed to update the post. The main point stands — it’s surprisingly good for the amount of effort put in (although unclear how much more juice you could get out of gpt with more effort. Clear diminishing returns)

Yes, great point, we share that concern. All of our components (patterns/openai-completion@v4) are open-source and can be downloaded and "dehydrated" into your Patterns app. They all use the same public API available to all apps.

We're working towards a fully open-source execution engine for Patterns -- we want people to invest with full confidence in a long-term ecosystem. For us, sequencing meant dialing in the end-to-end UX and then taking those learnings to build the best framework and ecosystem with a strong foundation. Stay tuned!

Thank you for the kind words and congrats on the great work on Orchest!

The marketplace is an open ecosystem, yes! Anyone can build their own components and apps and submit them. More details here https://www.patterns.app/docs/marketplace-faq/, and guide for building your own: https://www.patterns.app/docs/dev/building-components. It's early days but our goal is coverage of all data sources and sinks, the ontology layer of common transformations and ETL logic, and AI / ML models.

Those are great tools, but built for a different era. We've built Patterns with the goal of fostering an open ecosystem of components and solutions that interface with modern cloud infrastructure and the rest of the modern data stack, so folks can build on top of other's work. As more and more data lives in the cloud, in standard saas, more and more businesses are solving the same data problems over and over. We hope to fix that!

Good concern. All Patterns apps are fully defined by code that you can download. We're building our open source execution engine, once that lands you'll be able to self host forever if desired

Agree, debugging is a critical user experience! In Patterns, you'll see the full stack trace and all logs when you execute Python or SQL.

I like Matt, but that's a misleading comparison. You can't compare banks with non-banks, since, again, banks have the special regulated right to _create money out of thin air_ and put it on their balance sheet (or if you prefer the fractional reserve metaphor, they can double count your deposit -- lending it out while pretending they still have it for you).

Here's a way to reality check the difference: if 90% of Tether holders redeem their deposits tomorrow, 100% of them will get their money back and Tether Ltd will remain 100% solvent and liquid. If 90% of JPMC depositors redeem tomorrow only 10% of them will get their money back and JPMC will be insolvent.

Where would you rather have your money?

SEEKING FREELANCER | SF | Remote or local

Looking for front-end dev (angular / typescript) to accelerate our app development. We are silicon valley veterans (Google, Square) building a data pipeline platform based on functional reactive components. Initial medium-term project to start, open to remote or local in SF.
