I dont agree. For instance, one of the features in the roadmap was to build pgbouncer equivalent project internally. We did not underestimate the time it would take. You can have tech debt if you are not cautious. Internally, we do PRD-driven development; this is how we are not incurring tech debt.

Funny that you mean, we are actually building a platform that builds guardrails, runtime policies, tool repo and classifiers that prevents agents from these operations.
I think every CLI is agent native when invoked from claude or any coding agents.
I was really suprised today. We at adaptive [1], is an access management platform to access psql, mysql, vms, k8s etc. When you use `adaptive connect <db-name>` it would connect create just-in-time tunnel and connect the user to the database. You cannot do traditional psql operation etc. That design is by choice.
Today I was trying to invoke it via claude, and, god damn, it found a way to connect. It create a pseudo shell in python, pass the queries and treat our cli like a tool. This would have been humanly not possible. Partly because, you would like about risks, good practice/bad practice, would be scared to execute and write code like that, and it just did it and acheived the goal.
I think eventually it'll support many different runtimes. I started with e2b because it has stronger security guarantees, especially useful if this ends up being multi-tenant.
Thats true for point solutions. You often dont find a guided product tour there.
Guided tour does have its place where the product is a workflow, a platform offering, has bunch of features and you want to introduce the feature to them.
If you are paying 10-25k USD per year, you expect some onboarding specialist who gives instructions on integrating ACH and payroll systems etc. It is very common for non-technical folk to hop on a onboarding call.
People often try to automate that as it is expensive, but i think people prefer that human touch esp. when you are paying alot of money.
Also because generally in those cases you don't really want a guided tour of the whole product, you have a problem you want solving and you would like to see how to solve that problem with the product. Which either talking to a person who knows the product or reading through some documentation/guides does, but a guided tour generally does not (or at least does not do efficiently).
Or at the very least, at the price we're talking here, companies should be hiring a trainer who knows the product well, who can actually teach people and answer questions. not go through this, go through that, clicking that: half the things are not useful to their particular problems and shouldn't be taught at all to this group.
