Great points, especially on state management. I actually can't imagine for the life of me why I'm defending OOP implementation hierarchies here- I guess I got so used to them at work, I've changed my strategy from opposing th

I'll concede to all your points here, but I was nevertheless extremely impressed by this result. You're right of course that this was not without human guidance but to me even successfully using LLMs just for the mutation step was

Maybe the author would be in a better place to do that, having the expertise already. Also, as a user I'm quite happy with jq already, so why expend the effort?

If I had to audit security services for exposing homelab to the internet, I wouldn't use those services in the first place. I'm fine trying things out, but this is a very important security boundary, and it's a solved problem

In fact it contradicts guidelines, as they encourage downvoting without explanation in order to not clutter the thread. They were trying to explain to you, whereas most readers will sinply downvote. Yes, I think they meant that as a kindnes

The claude-signs make me skip about 50-80% of text, unconsciously seeking for humanity. I'm not sure if I'm typical, but you might not be aware that you're losing more than you thought you bargained for.

No, that seems a fair request, I like that idea! But I can also see that it's not likely to be implemented. Though I'd see that transparency as a step forward, it's very likely to generate flamewars and even more discussion o

I'm (reluctantly) a python guy, and uv really is a much different experience for me than all the other tools. I've otherwise had much the same experience as you describe here. Maybe it's because `uv` is built in rust? ¯\_ (ツ)

It is my experience that if there is a github for a project like this, that's usually a much better source of information than the landing page.

Nit pick, but proof by contradiction is necessarily stronger as it is deductive reasoning, and this kind of "proof" by anecdotal evidence doesn't rise above abductive reasoning. Still useful, very much not a proof.

You can leave the TODO in the comments- e.g. ruff the linter has an optional rule to disallow TODO comments unless it's followed by an issue url. If you put that in the CI, then you can use TODOs either as blockers you wish to fix befo
