> Some large companies’ pilots and younger startups are really excelling with generative AI,” … “It’s because they pick one pain point, execute well, and partner smartly with companies who use their tools,”

Everyone victory lapping this as a grand failure should pay attention to the above snippet.

I did an ERP implementation for manufacturing years ago, it was such a nightmare.

I imagine a good approach that would solve some of my reservations would be a strict core ledger, especially as it relates to inventory and finance related transactions, but then relatively flexible around the specific product domain (we did craft beer, which in the end was a nightmare to map to the ERP processes)

Flexible where it matters, strict where it matters. Idk, but good luck!

> Traditionally, end-users were non-technical and would be stuck with whatever the application developer gave them. But now every user has an LLM too.

Interesting point.

I keep coming back to the idea that users could request changes, and they could be experimentally deployed immediately.

If you could consider how a team could use linear in conjunction with this that would be very interesting.

I would imagine matching tickets/conversations from Linear mcp to use as an overlay of context

They're not. The Maps widget shows you nearby businesses. You can remove the widget.

They are also marketing “nearby” coffee shops in the Home Screen stack widget which is pretty invasive, I’m surprised not to hear about it

Great feedback; and I do agree. The HN link goes to the app itself because we're impatient, but there is an actual landing page most visitors hit.

I've gone back and forth on the UX idea, and while I do agree, it's important that Tritium selects for users that are going to be able to quickly adopt the newer concepts. Just simply presenting a "better Word" isn't really going to move the needle. It's really a shift in expectations. That said, I have recently backed off defaulting to dark mode to make it feel slightly more familiar.

Figure out how to make it uncompromisingly productive for power users and then dumb it down, not the other way around way around

I always remind myself when I have to go to the DMV[0] that I should plan on leaving with nothing more than another action or set of actions to take. I never enter the DMV expecting to complete a process, and the workers behind the counter always have this visible, visceral response when I DONT lose my fucking mind at their response to something. When I continue to be pleasant and understanding it’s like they suddenly come alive. It’s a depressing state of affairs because I understand exactly what they expect and why.

0: for non-Americans and for Americans from other states that may use different terms, the DMV is the department of motor vehicles in many US states and is the central place to get your drivers license, take the drivers test, register your car, get vehicle license plates, etc. Many processes that have many requirements that often are unfulfilled when people show up asking for things.

Interesting distinction is deliberate vs unintentional accountability sinks.

DMV sounds more like incompetence than design. Compare with airline where the system is “better” when you have no recourse.
