I built this because I've struggled with agents making too many implicit assumptions during development. They assume they need to write tests to ensure a feature is removed! They assume they need to implement compat whenever an API cha

Strong disagree, I use tools like DeepWiki, Mintlify, Cubic daily to analyze complex codebases. Their diagrams on PRs and generated docs have made it much easier to quickly drop into a complex codebase and understand how it works / mak

Docker is designed to be undetectable by default, the best way I have found is to set env IN_DOCKER=True manually in your Dockerfile + check that there is no $DISPLAY configured + that you're on linux. Usually if all/most of those

Very curious if they're implementing browser driving themselves or using an off-the-shelf library like stagehand, browser-use, etc. to drive the DOM. Hopefully they open source it if it's in Swift. A11y-tree alone is not enough fo

Good riddance, GoPro squandered their market lead for many years and shipped bafflingly mediocre software that seemed to add more bugs with every generation. I hope Insta360, DJI, and many more competitors spring up out of their ashes. Assu

Historically tracking "which tab is in the foreground" has been impossible via CDP. Libraries like Playwright and even Google's own puppeteer resorted to hacks like forcing users to foreground pages manually, or pretending &q

You're off by at least 3 orders of magnitude, anodization is like 1,000x~5,000x thicker (5~25µm) than the natural oxide coating (~5nm).

Yes but anodization implies thickness around ~5–25 micrometers (µm) for aluminum. The natural oxide coating is ~2-5 nano meters (1,000–5,000× less thick).
