I'm shutting down Yetto, the app and the company.
It was a fucking blast and I have a lot of thoughts, but now's not the time. So here's a little send off.

Listen to this guy.
If you're a developer surrounded by people debating the utility of LLMs, you are being misled.
The advent of agents decisively settles the conversation. The real question is: how do you ship software that leverages their power?

I read about Gas Town and the Ralph Wiggum loop over the last few weeks, along with a bunch of similar and related ideas. This week I tried a mish-mash of approaches and ended up building a desktop app to manage concurrent Claude sessions. Started using it on Dashbort and damn this is cool stuff.

I once saw a dude jogging in the airport. Gym shorts, t-shirt, covered in sweat. Running and dodging people in Terminal C at Newark Airport.
You don't want that. Nobody wants that. Please let's all just travel in peace and as little sweating and coughing on other people as possible.

You better believe if an anthropomorphic pitcher of sugary kid’s drink burst through your living room wall, the police would show up 30 minutes later to take a statement and file it away without taking a single action.
