@ena_gluhakovic We think it's pretty intuitive – connect to a repo, select a maintenance module, run a job, and get a PR. You have the power to modify the STEP plans in YAML, or create custom maintenance modules as well. You can check our docs for more info https://docs.second.dev/
Gamechanger! Congrats @ericdrowell and team on an impressive V2 - I will definitely be sharing it every chance I get 🤘🏼
@ericdrowell remarkable progress. Wishing you a very good luck. Very promising.
Love seeing this evolution of Second! The passion and pursuit in crafting this powerful resource for engineers is inspiring to see.
V2 looks even more impactful to these kinds of workflows and it's exciting to see how many more engineers can benefit from Second.
@rileyj_s Thanks Riley! We're obsessed with helping developers automate work they don't want to do!
The AI-powered modules for JavaScript to TypeScript migrations is perfect for streamlining tedious tasks. Congrats, Eric!
Congrats on the launch Eric 🚀 Excited to try out Second, currently stuck at Vue 2 and planning to upgrade to Vue 3, your tool would be super useful for me.
I wonder though, from business perspective, how manageable would it be in long term to keep the customer in after the codebase upgrade has happened successfully?
@abzal_assembekov Thanks! If you look at large engineering organizations, about 50% of all engineering effort is spent on maintenance. In addition to migrations and upgrades (which are less recurring), there are other more recurring maintenance needs like feature flag management, design system component updates, test maintenance, any tech change from X to Y, etc etc
@abzal_assembekov Yea! Second is designed specifically for large codebases at large engineering organizations.
Autonomous software maintenance is the future! I love what Second is building and have been supporting and following for a while now. Let’s go!!!
Congrats on the launch @ericdrowell! You are an inspiration and I love the new focus of Second v2
@karanveer Use both! AI assistants in the IDE are great for building new features, making small enhancements to targeted areas of the codebase, or debugging. For codebase maintenance like migrations, upgrades, or tasks that can be defined with rules and patterns (like an AI-powered codemod) which need to operate on hundreds or thousands of files, Second is a great choice.
Congratulations Eric on your product launch!
I have tried Second V1 and now V2. It's impressive to see the completed Pull Request on my GitHub repository.
I wish it existed when I had to migrate Node.js applications from callback-based to Promise-based and then adopt async-await while a colleague taking care of the front-end had to migrate from Angular.js 1 to further versions one by one.
Currently, our team is converting the Ruby-on-Rails project to Node.js and Java Springboot. I hope all the companies out there are doing some kind of migration. Second comes into the world at the right time, utilizing Generative AI at its best use.
I would love to see support for Android applications as well so that I can migrate my rusted Android app that supports only up to Android 4.4 to the latest version quickly by cheating and relaunching it. :)
@raviraj_subramanian More maintenance modules will be coming! You can also build your own if you want to get ahead of it – https://docs.second.dev/
Hey guys. Nice one! How does Second's AI agent plan the migration process, such as from AngularJS to React, and what steps does it take to ensure the migration is seamless and error-free?
@dmytro_semonov Thanks! We use a combination of human + AI pre-built STEP plans to ensure the highest quality plans possible. These plans execute hundreds of thousands of tools, many of which are validators and resolvers, that check for code quality
This is really cool stuff, congrats on the launch! Could it do even really old-school stuff, e.g. migrate banking software in Fortran to e.g. Go?
@matijash Great question! Today we only support git-based transformations (code that lives in GitHub, Bitbucket, or Gitlab). However, we do plan to also support the migration of mainframe languages like COBOL and Fortran, in particular to help modernize banking software.
Congratulations on the launch of Second V2, @ericdrowell! How do you ensure that the AI agent delivers high-quality and reliable automated migrations and upgrades consistently?
@laocool we have a proprietary system called STEP (Software Transformation Execution Plan) which are pre generated, high fidelity plans that the AI execution agent uses to transform a codebase. Without it, AI agents will produce a ton of code drift and garbage results. It's the difference between hype and production capability!
@joshpxyne Yea! We support any git-based language. Although we currently only have a handful of maintenance modules that are off-the-shelf, our customers today are already building their own maintenance modules that meet their specific needs. Check out https://docs.second.dev/ for more info.
