Hello,
I'm Carter Hill, a non-technical CEO who has never written a line of code. Yet in 134 days, I orchestrated 1.7M+ lines of code into an enterprise AI platform running on an H100 GPU server.
Node-RED represents exactly what I believe in—IBM's gift to the world that lets visionaries connect systems without writing code. Visual workflow automation is the great equalizer. It takes the power away from gatekeepers and gives it to creators.
"We're going to see one-person companies with billion-dollar valuations pretty soon." — Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI
I'm building that company. Day 7 is a Public Benefit Corporation deploying 24 Docker containers, 5 databases, and 140 systemd daemons—all orchestrated by a founder who thinks in flows, not functions. Node-RED's philosophy of connecting systems visually is the same philosophy that let me build what traditional software teams said was impossible.
I have a detailed proposal attached.
Thank you for making flow-based programming visual and intuitive. Node-RED lets us wire complex integrations without writing boilerplate code. The OpenJS Foundation stewardship gives us confidence in Node-RED's future.
