New Live Demo of How CodeYam’s Software Simulator Helps Tame Complexity in Software Development

At the first First Pitch Colorado event at Founder Central.

Our Cofounder and CEO, Nadia Eldeib, recently gave a talk at the first-ever First Pitch Colorado event at Founder Central in Boulder, CO. and organized by Tim Morrissey (Drive Capital). 

Nadia’s presentation explores the challenges around complexity in software development that CodeYam seeds to solve. Her talk included a live demo of a new feature our team is building that gives an X-Ray like view into a software application. This provides a source of truth for the reality of the application in a given environment. For example, what the application’s users experience on main (in production). 

With CodeYam, our vision is a JARVIS-like experience that empowers software developers and technical leaders to have confidence in their understanding, testing, and delivery of code changes. 

Founder Central is a large space and this event had over 250+ RSVPs, so Nadia re-recorded her talk afterwards so you can see the slides and demo more clearly:

This demo references an earlier PR workflow demo, which you can watch here:

CodeYam Environments Demo Details

CodeYam uses static code analysis and AI to analyze an application’s code, then runs that code in a simulated environment that is automatically created. We provide different scenarios populated with synthetic data, which makes it easy to understand the function of that component. Beyond just visuals, you can interact with each simulation and have full control to make edits or changes. 

The new feature this demo gives a sneak peek of, called “Environments”, enables faster understanding of the status of your application, acting as a single source of truth for the reality of your app for a given environment. This is helpful for onboarding to a part of the code you’re less familiar with, either because you’re new to the team or new to that part of the code base. 

This can also help you catch bugs or stale parts of your code – the areas where “there be dragons” and you are not sure why no changes have been made and whether old functionality is getting exposed to users or causing unnecessary complexity in your code. 

First Pitch Colorado Events

This was the first First Pitch Colorado event at Founder Central in Boulder, CO. Some highlights from this event:

• Ed Hallen’s unfiltered talk on early ideation and iteration that led to Klaviyo, which IPOed last year. 

• Nadia’s sneak peek of our latest progress with CodeYam including a demo of software simulation applied to CodeYam itself.

• Keith Raphael shared his insight into and passion for payments and solving a hard problem that has real benefits for users of straddle. 

• Lucas Thelosen shared Gravity demo and discussed how they created a team of AI agents with different corporate colleague personas.

Then, these founders gave two-minute lightning talks: Kara Zucker (Trestle), Ryan George (Paribus AI), David Silva (Data Hubz), Jeff Shainline (Great Sky AI), and Jacob Segil (Afference). Their talks touched on various ideas from wearables to smarter product decision-making to paralegal tech to simplifying complexity for data management. Tim concluded the event by announcing that the next First Pitch event will be happening in Denver.
