It’s good to know that a few decades later the same generic Dropbox-weekend take can be made.

[direwolf20]

99% of projects the take applies to are massive flops. The Dropbox weekend take is almost always correct.

Sorry for by ignorance, but what's the Dropbox Weekend

[bastawhiz]

Yeah I guess why would anyone build anything, 99% of projects are flops.

Survivorship bias. How many failed and commenters were right?

[spooneybarger]

predicting that a startup will fail is.. well, you got a ton of probability on your side there. so it isn't a particularly impressive thing to be right about.

[staticassertion]

I'm not disagreeing, just soliciting. Does anyone have examples of products that failed in the early stages because their implementation was too trivial?

[eddythompson80]

People keep saying that, but it's hardly the same thing. We're talking about developer workflow here. It's like someone coming up with Brancher. It's a git branch manager. Use `brancher foo` to replace `git checkout -b foo`. "Remember that comment about rsync and dropbox? Brancher is to git, what dropbox is to rsync"

How is LangChain doing? How about OpenAI's Swarm or their Agent SDK or whatever they called it? AWS' agent-orchestrator? The crap ton of Agent Frameworks that came out 8-12 months ago? Anyone using any of these things today? Some poor souls built stuff on it, and the smart ones moved away, and some are stuck figuring out how to do complex sub-agent orchestration and handoffs when all you need apparently is a bunch of markdown files.

Just saw a Discord-weekend take on reddit! Haha. Guy was saying he could create it in a day and then self-host it on his servers so that he doesn't have to put Nitro ads on top of it

The dropbox-weekend take wasn't made by the intended target for the product.

This is.
