my friend quit his 300k$/year job to do a startup with me

[@FryingPan]

Sup y'all, I usually post vlogs on my www.youtube.com/@PansDay channel, but since now I'm doing this tech startup and it's coding related, I thought I would try posting it on my main channel to see if you guys enjoy it. Let me know! More info, and to join waitlist (I'll be in India next month, and launching from there to 100 people!): trypear.ai My friend www.youtube.com/@nang88 and I are building an open source AI-powered code editor, namely PearAI. PearAI's goal is to reduce the time it takes for an individual to go from idea to creation. Coding itself is a crucial tool in product development, and we believe that with the advancement of AI, it may drastically change over the coming years. We aim to build the environment that will encompass these changes, both in the short-term and long-term. Current features include: - Codebase context: talk to your code - Built-in PearAI chat - Inline AI prompting and diff changes - AI debugging, including errors shown in terminal - And many more!

Ngl. Homie should not have quit his 300k job. This is basically a GPT wrapper / copilot copycat. It gives me “oh waze worker through crowdsourcing so ima do that” the ideas solid, but nothing he mentions is inherently unique. Nice extension. But not worth leaving a 300k job.

[@impyrobot]

If you're good enough to get a 300k job you're good enough to get it another one with the added bonus of doing a start up on the CV.

[@HamzahAhmad-db5cy]

@@impyrobot That's not entirely true in the current market. There have been plenty of layoffs so the market is full of very talented individuals, so the competition is fierce. An example I can think of is of a data engineer with 4 years of experience working at Spotify couldn't get a job for more than 4 months despite applying full time. Also, the author of You Don't Know JS has been unemployed for more than half a year. Market really isn't in a good position for this move, especially considering the idea isn't anything too unique

[@impyrobot]

@@HamzahAhmad-db5cy Whatever you only live once and it's not like he has a family that's dependent on him. He should have enough savings to live comfortably anyway. I think the idea is pretty poor personally that's the only problem. I don't see people switching from their preferred code editor for this. Copilot is pretty poor and where's the money in it trying to convince some VC? Being tied down to a job is overrated worked in tech for 5 years and I quit to start my own business I make more income than I used to and live very comfortably. Life's more than just going to work and grinding for corpos.

[@hashiinngg]

A geniune question: what I was thinking is that we as programmers love our code editors so much like I use vscode and I have alot of settings + extensions + custom snippets and much more, why are you opting to go for a code editor instead of a better plugin / extension like tool to integrate with existing code editors so that later on you guys can scale like to other editors as well like sublime text or may be vim 😅. I know like vscode is open source so you can always keep in sync just like codium team does but still why not any extension and why another editor? Thanks :)

[@FryingPan]

Would love to know what else you have in VSCode integrated that would make it more difficult to transfer over aside from extensions! For example if we have a 1 click transfer extensions from VSCode over, would that be a sufficient hassle reducer? Or is there more?

[@vloedev]

this is so true! like everything is cool and i wish them the best, but the fact that it's a vscode fork just feels so weird... like wouldn't it be better to put all the focus on creating an amazing extension for vscode, nvim etc... (like supermaven) rather than fking around doing a whole ass editor?

Forking VSCode is a terrible idea, the performance of this editor is horrible, what's even the point? You might as well just make a VSCode extension

[@kayyul]

Can I ask, what is the point you are trying to make here? No harm on my side, I am going through the comments to get some people opinions. Wont it be a less successful business model if it was made into an extension since not all people will be able to have it as an extension (if they use IDE such as pycharm, zed etc etc.). Could you explain how this is worse than turning it into a extension whenever you have the time to of course? (Edited for grammar mistake)

@@kayyul I don't see them dethroning vscode just because it's has soo many extensions including copilot and the like

[@notgauravmehta]

What are your thoughts on developing this as a VSCode plugin, instead of creating a new editor altogether? Things like code selection, and opening a side window to analyze/prompt around the code should be supported.

[@impyrobot]

Vscode extensions don't make enough money and dethroning vscode will be tough since it has so many extensions.

Vscode api is extremely limited which is why I’m sure they opted for forking the editor.
