I've been frustrated by the fact that people still believe that python is some sort of magical default to build LLM apps. It's not. English is the new programming language.

White paper for reference: https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03629

Notice how the prompt used in Langchain (python) https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/blob/d21a494a27639...

Is the same as it is in Langchain.rb (ruby) https://github.com/andreibondarev/langchainrb/blob/6fc2b962c...

I had an internship where we worked with C# and .NET, and recently i inherited and application written on this stack. I would say I much rather would develop in Rails.

Why?

Currently, I don't have a ton of time to maintain the app and I was hoping to migrate it off of aws (since I don't have a ton of aws experience and mostly don't want to mess with it/ manage it) so I was looking to deploy on heroku which doesn't support C# as of now. - https://help.heroku.com/PAT3YEDU/does-heroku-support-net-app...

If you get past my gripe, I think it's much harder for new developer to pick up.

I think Ruby/Rails and Python/Django were created specifically for developer happiness and ease respectively.

I don't think it's going to be easy to manage this asp app (even though it isn't a large code base) Simply due to the fact that there is a lot of stuff I feel like I'll need to catch up on. When I look at other apps written for the web I find them to be "easier", whatever that means.

Marketing is a big one for me. Building a great product means nothing if you can’t reach your target audience.

And I don’t mean learning how to used Facebook or Google to run ads, I mean the theory behind marketing.

I would like to read more books similar to the 22 immutable laws of marketing by Al Ries and Jack Trout
