what do you actually gain over enforced formatting? first you should not be composing releases at the end from conflicting branches, you should be integrating branches and testing each one in sequence and then cutting releases. if there are

mmm. interesting and fun concept, but it seems to me like the text is actually the right layer for storing and expressing changes since that is what gets read, changed and reasoned about. why does it make more sense to use asts here? are th

it can actually look across conversations, i would make sure to tell it not to. (one fun thing to do is to ask it to look across the past year and generate a claude wrapped where it roasts you.) i also probably wouldn't use it for anyt

makes sense. the core modules that i looked at look pretty good. (action-log, verifier, composability, dsl and parser). all the kitchen sink stuff makes it pretty intense though. have you considered separating out just the core execution, l

it's probably a good thing to have domestic advanced manufacturing if only to have real-world testbeds for development of advanced automation technology. it's cool and all that boston dynamics can do what they do, but i wonder if

maybe would be interesting to include a lecture on how to interact with the open source community and successfully contribute to an open source project while respecting maintainer time and energy (and other unwritten rules of (n)etiquette).

it's been 14 years since i've used msvc for anything real. iirc the philosophy back then was yearly versioned releases with rolling intermediate updates. this seems to go down the road towards attempts at determinsticish builds wh

it's also going to kill the open web. nobody is going to want to share their ideas or code publicly anymore. with the natural barriers gone, the incentives to share will go to zero. everything will happen behind closed doors.
