Say hello to Solvent

We've changed the name of the platform from HiveMind to Solvent. The idea behind the HiveMind name was that the platform is meant to rely on components built by developers across the web to enable the quick composition of web applications.

HiveMind is not a bad name and in fact has proven to be quite catchy, however we think a more evocative name would work better. We've spent time toying around with different names, we were not interested in a meaningless word so the name needed to be a real word that has meaning that could be tied to what the platform is, it also needed to have a nice ring to it.

To that end, we settled on Solvent. The Wikipedia definition:

A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "loosen, untie, solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution.

We think this fits nicely with the platform as one for helping businesses quickly develop software solutions to help with their business operations. It is a hyper-flexible platform that can be used to combined different components into a cohesive solution, not unlike a Solvent :)

Perhaps it is time to think less about what tab-tab-go programming would mean for the future of developer roles and rather how those existing skill-sets could be leveraged in an AI world. There is tremendous potential in reorienting technologists from a focus on churning out the next app from an IDE and towards thinking in a more holistic manner about how to leverage what already has been built out both in terms of software and infrastructure. The past 30 yrs or so of the tech industry has been a ginormous build-out of technological capability. We in the industry may not have seen it that way since we have been the ones engaged in the build-out process. In other words we have seen the build-out primarily as just our jobs, and less as a process perhaps with a terminal date. I wouldn't go so far as saying the build-out is complete by any means, but it s...
