New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Zapier's first API
Show HN: Zapier's first API
16 by mikeknoop | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! We launched Zapier way back in 2012 on HN: https://ift.tt/4OaoPis and thought we'd return home to announce something special and hopefully exciting :) We are trying to finally live up to the "API" in our name with Zapier's first universal API: Natural Language Actions – https://ift.tt/iJ0u3TK API docs – https://ift.tt/Ye23wxD (to be fair, we have published APIs before that can access Zapier data, but never before one devs can use to directly call the 5k+ apps / 20k+ actions on our platform) For example, you can use the API to: * Send messages in Slack * Retrieve a row in a Google Sheet * Draft a reply in Gmail * ... and thousands more actions with one universal API We optimized NLA for use cases that receive user input in natural language (think chatbots, assistants, or any product/feature using LLMs) -- but not strictly required! Folks have asked for an API for 10 years and I've always been slightly embarrassed we didn't have one. We hesitated because we did not want to pass along our universe of complexity to end devs. With the help of LLMs we found some cool patterns to deliver the API we always wanted. My co-founder/CTO Bryan did an interview with Garry on YC blog with more details: https://ift.tt/GfNgkpo... We also published a LangChain integration to show off some possibilities: * Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEK_9wLYEHU * Jupyter notebook: https://ift.tt/R4i7lkV We know the API is not perfect but we're excited and eager for feedback to help shape it.

Show HN: Watermelon – GPT-powered code contextualizer
22 by baristaGeek | 7 comments on Hacker News.
Hey there HN! We're Esteban and Esteban and we are looking to get feedback for the new version of our GPT-powered, open-source code contextualizer. We're starting with a VS Code extension that indexes information from git (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket integrations available), Slack and Jira to explain the context around a file or block of code. Finally, we summarize such aggregated context using the power of GPT. As devs we know that it's very annoying to look at a new codebase and start understanding all the nuances, particularly when the person who wrote the code already left the company. With this problem in mind, we decided to build this solution. You'll be able to get into "the ghost" of the person who left the company. Soon, we will also be building a GitHub Action that does the same thing as the VS Code extension but at the time of creating a PR: Index the most relevant information related to this new PR, and add it as a comment. This way we will provide context at one more moment, and also, we will be making the IDE extension better. Here's our open source repo if you also want to check it out: https://ift.tt/lfwaGO7 Please give us your feedback! Thanks.

Ask HN: Should I sign a pay cut agreement?
16 by folivore | 39 comments on Hacker News.
Hi! My employer recently announced a 10% pay cut across the board. Where I live(South Africa), employee consent is required. The company sent out a document asking us to sign in agreement. ---- This is the state of things now: * Company laid an unknown number of employees off, and laid them off without letting employees know until a week later in a meeting where they announced pay cuts * The company is pretty much full remote and the office is a nice-to-have. It is in a very expensive part of town. * Lunches once a week are catered at the office * I asked what happens if one were not to sign, and the response was "Oh, we haven't thought about that. We're hoping that everyone pulls together." * The situation will be reviewed quarterly * Company says they don't expect it to last very long, also citing this for why they kept the office ---- A few things stand out to me and feel like red flags, namely: * They chose to cut salaries rather than cut the office rent and catered lunch/snack expenses * They have no plan should someone not sign. I would think they would have planned that out, specially since they went on about how long it took them to make this decision. * Layoffs were hidden until an announcement, which was also ambiguous where people thought it was still coming. ---- My options are to sign and take a pay cut, or refuse to sign and see what happens. Law here says I am entitled to what effectively comes to a layoff, but I can't predict what the company will do. The pay cut also makes my life a lot harder since we were already on a tight budget. I would appreciate any thoughts, knowledge, or advice you might have. I know you are not a lawyer and I am not expecting you to be, but lawyers can't speak to real world experience from others in the industry. I am currently finding a lawyer to assist.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Ingest data from your customers (Prequel YC W21)
Show HN: Ingest data from your customers (Prequel YC W21)
22 by ctc24 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! Charles here from Prequel (https://prequel.co). We just launched the ability for companies to import data from their customer’s data warehouse or database, and we wanted to share a little bit more about it with the community. If you just want to see how it works, here’s a demo of the product that Conor recorded: https://ift.tt/dfaHmkp. Quick background on us: we help companies integrate with their customer’s data warehouse or database. We’ve been busy helping companies export data to their customers – we’re currently syncing over 40bn rows per month on behalf of companies. But folks kept on asking us if we could help them import data from their customers too. They wanted the ability to offer a 1st-party reverse ETL to their customers, similar to the 1st-party ETL capability we already helped them offer. So we built that product, and here we are. Why would people want to import data? There are actually plenty of use-cases here. Imagine a usage-based billing company that needs to get a daily pull from its customers of all the billing events that happened, so that they can generate relevant invoices. Or a fraud detection company who needs to get the latest transaction data from its customers so it can appropriately mark fraudulent ones. There’s no great way to import customer data currently. Typically, people solve this one of two ways today. One is they import data via CSV. This works well enough, but it requires ongoing work on the part of the customer: they need to put a CSV together, and upload it to the right place on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. This is painful and time-consuming, especially for data that needs to be continuously imported. Another one is companies make the customer write custom code to feed data to their API. This requires the customer to do a bunch of solutions engineering work just to get started using the product – which is a suboptimal onboarding experience. So instead, we let the customer connect their database or data warehouse and we pull data directly from there, on an ongoing basis. They select which tables to import (and potentially map some columns to required fields), and that’s it. The setup only takes 5 minutes, and requires no ongoing work. We feel like that’s the kind of experience every company should provide when onboarding a new customer. Importing all this data continuously is non-trivial, but thankfully we can actually reuse 95% of the infrastructure we built for data exports. It turns out our core transfer logic remains pretty much exactly the same, and all we had to do was ship new CRUD endpoints in our API layer to let users configure their source/destination. As a brief reminder about our stack, we run a GoLang backend and Typescript/React frontend on k8s. In terms of technical design, the most challenging decisions we have to make are around making database’s type-systems play nicely with each other (kind of an evergreen problem really). For imports, we allow the data recipient to specify whether they want to receive this data as JSON blob, or as a nicely typed table. If they choose the latter, they specify exactly which columns they’re expecting, as well as what type guarantees those should uphold. We’re also working on the ability to feed that data directly into an API endpoint, and adding post-ingestion validation logic. We’ve mentioned this before but it bears worth repeating. We know that security and privacy are paramount here. We're SOC 2 Type II certified, and we go through annual white-box pentests to make sure that all our code is up to snuff. We never store any of the data anywhere on our servers. Finally, we offer on-prem deployments, so data never even has to touch our servers if our customers don't want it to. We’re really stoked to be sharing this with the community. We’ll be hanging out here for most of the day, but you can also reach us at hn (at) prequel.co if you have any questions!

I do product development for a team that's creating solutions for life sciences & pharmaceutical companies that work with real-world data. This is a new industry vertical for us, so we don't have a bunch of existing customers we can go interview to understand what to build. It's already a reasonably crowded space, but the few pharma teams we've talked to express frustration with the speed and price of existing offerings. That said, I need much, much more information from users of existing offerings in our space to be able to form a product strategy that I have strong conviction in. I was reading Airbyte's company handbook[1] the other day, and it mentioned the co-founders did 45 discovery calls with customers using existing ELT tools in 3 months! I would kill for that kind of access to teams in our target market. How did they do that? Is that just the power of the YC network, or is there something I'm overlooking? My background is not in sales or BizDev, but I can pick up that skillset (or hire for it) to get these calls. Should I just start finding people in the pharma space, add them on LinkedIn, and request an informational interview? Are healthcare conferences good for getting these kinds of calls? Open to any advice or guidance - thank you! [1] https://ift.tt/1gjEwxN (Fantastic doc, BTW)
