How do you accidentally upload your user's repos to a storage bucket?

Maintaining a fork costs you mental space, time and energy, even if someone else (i.e. AI) can reliably do all the work. (In my experience they're not quite there yet.)

The description mentions a similar project browser.js which apparently has some real use cases, what are they?

I think the system prompt is bigger than that.

The "use strict" thing is interesting. I often hear people say, well we can't fix absurd behavior in JS because backwards compatibility! Well, we already did, and we can do it again!

In the first example, there's a a second thing that surprised me: you delete an entity and it's unique ID gets reused? Is that a good idea? I guess if foreign keys are handled properly then that's not a problem by definition?

Thanks. I was making simultaneous reference to Half-Life 1 (where the scientists keep asking "who is responsible for this mess?" and the humorous implication is that the player himself is the one responsible — having inserted the

Hahah fantastic. Ok, I might have bad taste, I like Microsoft's version. At least the first 30% of the way before they stuff it with visual noise.

Haven't built anything yet as far as language / tooling goes, but my experiences with poorly designed languages and tooling have basically made me paranoid as far as "what touches this variable", "what does this fun

I have an amusing update to report, I've checked one of the major new features that was added a few days ago. It turns out it was implemented backwards, and in a way which defeats the entire purpose. Nevertheless, several thousand line

Interesting. How much does it cost to build a search index in current year? Also, how do you get around the fact that everyone's blocking bots? I've been thinking of making a "small web" indexer so I'm curious about

Nice, cool project. Is Monero legal in EU? I heard something about them banning private cryptos including Monero a while back but I don't know what the situation is now. (I think it might just be that exchanges are not allowed to offer

I'd like to hear more about your experience using AI for game development. I've had a strangely asymmetric experience where frontier models are failing apparently basic tasks like making changes to a Pong clone without breaking it

As for context size and harnesses I did make a trivial bash agent based on this "agent in 50 lines" tutorial[0] recently, and found that for trivial work, it was about an order of magnitude cheaper and faster. I haven't teste

With Fable being per token instead of on the subs (unless they changed it again?), I decided to test Claude code on OpenRouter where I had some credits, with Opus 4.8 and Fable 5. I asked both a trivial question (summarize last commit). Op

I saw this comic once, of a big empty hall. "Only the rich can afford this much nothing." I walked past a bank later and it looked almost exactly the same. (I guess that's where the money is!)
