It's a small market yes. Our solution can be packaged as a stand alone app, but also has other relevant uses.

You're not surprised. I'm not surprised either. And yet: at a company of a handful of people working part time, I think the choice made sense: focus on the core competency.

Ok, fair. I have several remotes for my projects: one on a machine I control, another on GitHub, so I can send links to people etc.

I work for a tiny company. Most of the revenue is from paid API access. I don't think I'm authorized to share any of the specifics, so will keep it generic. The API is a world-class machine learning model for a specific scenario.

I wonder, why do people maintain personal git forges? Is it so others can submit issues and pull requests? Do others actually bother to create accounts at your personal git forge so they can contribute?

OTOH you get version history, with commit messages if you care to write them. And the full power of git to explore the history. You can edit the same file on two (offline) devices, then resolve the inevitable merge conflict. "Automatic

That's pretty good! Better than 99% claims of REST for sure! Thanks for the long reply.

> and the ACME API is pretty enthusiastic about being RESTful Without looking at it, are you sure about that? I once used to know what REST meant. Are you doing REST as in HATEOAS or as in "we expose some http endpoints"?

Ah that's too bad then! At least you should admit it's conceptually much nicer than Signal, even if they got the details wrong and/or intentionally backdoored. I'll continue using Facebook messenger then, until someone f

Yes sure. There isn't much a userland app can actually do if your OS wants to spy on you. I wonder why they spend their time on this? Meanwhile, Signal still requires a phone number to register and use. It's terrible: phone number

If I were a hiring manager and saw your comment, I wouldn't hire you. Could it have been a joke in a more obvious way? Do you think all the other comments here are serious?

This is just stupid. What bug? We still write year 476 as 476. We don't have to write 0476 to prevent confusing it with 1476. It's not confusing.

You don't need Gitea (nor Forgejo, nor GitLab, ...). You just need `git` installed on whatever server you already have. And just use that as one of the git remotes.

(Usually) Yes. The LLM can generate three functions, over 100 lines of code, and I spend perhaps 15 minutes rearranging it so it pleases me aesthetically. It would've taken me an hour or two to write. I find most benefit in writing tes

You can use an external proving mechanism and feed the results to the LLM. A sufficiently rich type system (think Idris rather than C) or a sufficiently powerful test suite (eg property-based tests) should do the trick.
