I really really like pi.
But I agree with you, it's biggest weakness is that for a real long time the tagline of it was "there are many harnesses, this one is MINE" (That being Mario's)
I have a lot of respect for Mario and his team, but there's things like you've pointed out that deviate from standards, and other issues that I've seen get posted, only to get knocked down by the team as WON'T FIX because, even though the new owners changed the tagline from MINE to YOURS... It's still very much Mario's.
I do like opinionated things. Truly. But I'm also of the opinion that standards exist for a reason.
That said. I like Pi so much that it's my daily driver, and I've created an ecosystem of plugins to do everything I want, having them all tie together and communicate through the shared bus. Pi is really a good harness.
It's just, well. I don't agree with some of the opinions.
If I'm going to add another thing here... Whilst you cannot get everything you need from the openAI API spec, you can get a surprising amount to get a model config. That said. Versions of Pi are still shipping with model configs for certain inference providers. I do hope that gets decoupled at some stage. I see the groundwork being laid.
So the work is being done in the right direction. I applaud the team but I do get the feeling that a lot of this is because people want to contribute, but the team really wants to hand craft this. And that's great
- bacteria 2mo agoCould you share some of the ecosystem/plugins/workflows you're using with Pi?
- intothemild 2mo agoSure, I use this, as pretty much my only plugin, I also have one for web-search on top of this. https://github.com/danielcherubini/pi-archimedes https://github.com/danielcherubini/pi-archimedes as for workflows, its all skills/agents based, here's my dotagents folder https://github.com/danielcherubini/dotagents https://github.com/danielcherubini/dotagents
- stephen_cagle 2mo agoI might be misreading this, but I thought it was a reference to "Full Metal Jacket" => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoU2hlDJmFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoU2hlDJmFE ? Ignoring the military stuff, I feel like it is saying that this harness, although stamped from a mass produced part, is mine once I take possession of it. An extension of me?
- zdp7 2mo agoMy read sees pi as a starter kit. It's job is to build personal workflows and not to dictate a workflow. Copy on the site calls it minimal and tells us to 'adapt pi to your workflow, not the other way around.' In other words a fleshed out pi is unique to you.
