• Pipe Dreams: The life and times of Yahoo Pipes

  I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.

  The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.

  That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.

• Ask HN: What is the correct way to deal with pipelines?
  4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Sep 2023

  "correct" is a value judgement that depends on lots of different things. Only you can decide which tool is correct. Here are some ideas:

  - https://camel.apache.org/

  - https://www.windmill.dev/

  - https://github.com/huginn/huginn

  Your idea about a queue (in redis, or postgres, or sqlite, etc) is also totally valid. These off-the-shelf tools I listed probably wouldn't give you a huge advantage IMO.

• Are you using Huginn? If so do you have any latest documentation?
  1 project | /r/selfhosted | 15 Aug 2023

  Huginn (https://github.com/huginn/huginn) has like some 39K stars on Github and the use cases it covered looks good.

• Generate RSS feed for any website using CSS selectors

  Huginn is an another useful tool that allows you to wrangle CSS selectors and XPath nodes to create RSS feeds.

  I use it quite successfully to get data out of undocumented APIs and out into RSS.

  I know of Huginn that could be usefull depending on what you want to do.

• LLM Powered Autonomous Agents

  "not a single word about the safety implications of such a system"

  Oh please. Not everything has to be regulated-to-hells before a use case is even found on this. Autonomous agents have existed for decades.

  If it can automate agents like huginn[0] with natural language, I'd be very happy. Autonomous agents doesn't mean it's going to take over the world autonomously. Let's lower the fearmongering a bit.
