Fawcett’s life has invited controversy and speculation, because he was a man who did a mix of great and shady things.

We discuss business models for open-source software, the steps to creating a remarkable product, and the main tenets of a solid remote culture. --- Build A Remote Org On A Written Culture With Abhishek Nayak My guest is Abhishek Nayak, CEO and Founder of Appsmith, the first open-source low-code platform that helps businesses with any customer internal application within hours. Abhishek, welcome to the show. Thanks, Steve. Thank you so much for having me on your show. I'm excited to talk to you. I'm very curious about some of the stuff that you guys are doing at Appsmith. Let's start with your journey. How did you come up with this idea of Appsmith? What were you doing before? How did you get here? Appsmith is my third startup. I've been an entrepreneur for the better part of the previous decade. Every single startup that I did was always with Arpit, who's my Cofounder and CTO at Appsmith. We've always had to build some sort of custom applications, for example, to run customer support. I also did a gaming startup before Appsmith which is a consumer startup. There we had to build things to manage user data, game levels and design game levels. My previous startups have ranged to be in the payment space and also the gaming space. My Cofounder, Arpit, was always responsible for building a custom tool to do customer support or run operations. That's where the idea for Appsmith emerged. We realized we are doing a lot of repetitive work in every single startup. It's the same interface. You need to display some charts, maybe some data in a table and show a form so that you can modify some data. Maybe you have a workflow. Let's say you're a FinTech startup or a payment startup and you have a customer onboarding workflow. You need to build an onboarding workflow, which is custom for your business. We realize all of these tools have something that is common and some things are customized. We decided to put all those common features together in a low-code open-source platform so that people don't have to build things from scratch. That is Appsmith. The idea of Appsmith originated from scratching my cofounder's itch. My cofounder was the person who was always in charge of building this. He realized he doesn't want to build stuff from scratch all the time. We should build something that helps other engineers build on top of a framework that does a lot of heavy lifting for you. That's how we landed on Appsmith. These modules that you're talking about and building, are they not available before? I was under the impression that most of the new software that is being built is being modularly constructed rather than from scratch. It depends on what kind of modularization and how much effort it still takes. For example, if you need to show some data on a chart, you need to create an API in the first place and connect to that API. You need to write the code for the charting library that you use. You might be using a charting library so you're not writing every chart from scratch. You don't need to figure out how to transform the data so that you can use this particular charting library or if you need to create a form, you need to write the logic for the form. In this process, maybe about 15% to 20% is modularized. You're not doing everything from scratch but 80% of the work is not modularized. It does take a lot of effort. Those are the bits that we are trying to convert in Appsmith so that you're only doing 20% of the work, 80% of the work is done out of the box for you. It's a different level of modularization and automation for the developer. If in the past or if currently someone begins a new software, 20% of them of the components are available off the shelf. You're going to take this 20% to 80% so that people will have to do a 20% customized or code...

In this episode, we talk to Will Myddelton, Product lead at Local Welcome, about moving from an oral to a written culture within an organisation. "An oral culture has huge advantages in that it's fluid, easy to pick up, and doesn't require a lot of attention to processes.  But it has a big disadvantage which is that knowledge is stored inside people's memories, or embodied in the things that are made in specific contexts. This creates problems when someone goes on holiday, and even worse when someone leaves. It means people often spend time reinventing or duplicating things that have been invented before. Stepping back, it often means there is no single view of the system that the company is operating, (which is why so many design consultancies start with trying to map the systems that a company operates). Finally, lots of organisations are trying to automate business processes, but how can you automate a process that isn't documented (which is why there are so many business analysts who try and retro-document the processes that exist and are in operation)."
