I predict it will be Pydantic next to get picked up by someone for logfire and agent framework.... fine as long as all these open source projects stay open source then good for them

The Pydantic stuff is nice, but in a minimalist way that I don't see being amenable to SaaS/vc/etc.

We have a SaaS platform (Pydantic Logfire - General and AI observability), and we raised our Series A from Sequoia.

For good or bad, I think we're pretty "SaaS/vc/etc." already.

Yeah it seems a bit forced though. Like why go from an open source utility library for typing to take VC money and try to shoe-horn in an observability platform that no one was asking for?

My prediction, not going to be a good investment.

ROFL.

I clearly didn't build pydantic "to take VC money" - I maintained Pydantic for 5 years before deciding to take VC money.

I wanted to build logfire and I didn't want to compete with or restrict our open source, we so built logfire.

Let's see on the investment; seems to be going pretty well so far.
