Whether they did that or had an LLM one shot it, I dont really care. Commit history is pretty important if you ever want to try fixing bugs or improving features in the future.

250k lines of code in one commit is reason enough to disregard the project entirely, IMO. Vibe code if one wants, but that is just madness...

There is a project by a group of nix/nixos enthusiasts aiming to replace some of these core deps https://github.com/manic-systems/nixos-core . I havent tire-kicked it much, but it seems useful.

I can't blame you when the first few sentences almost always evoke one of the "creators of XYZ" (I don't know how you can say a model or model harness has a singular creator when the model was trained on everyone's

You don't sponsor people or projects to complete specific issues or build specific features in the first place. Sponsorship is a reward and token of appreciation for doing good work.

Better yet: give them cold hard cash instead of what is arguably monopoly money for many OSS devs. Ironically this is something GitHub made "easy" with sponsorships several years ago.

It works on darwin and any linux just fine. Theyre even working on a "standalone" like HMs, if you really want to decouple your user programs from your system. With some programs it is as simple as you show, but with others there

I'm saying that I value the completeness (thoroughness may be a better word) as well as the reproducability and portability that nix ensures over convenience. I cant tell you the amount of times I've pulled a precompiled tool and

Its the only complete, reproducible, and portable solution, in my opinion. I like mise, but at the end of the day some programs are more complex than just pulling a precompiled, dynamically linked binary and hoping it works.

If you like home manager but also like to understand how your "home"/user programs are configured, take a look at hjem!

What a snakepit of a comment! I know there are tensions within nix but this feels like a classic case of Chestertons fence at a big scale.

by tfrancisl 4mo ago
Or nix without home manager, and ideally without flakes as well. Two solutions looking for problems, IME.

Picking up the Pieces: Popular Spec-Driven Development tool abandoned, forked(github.com)

It seems the original author of the popular SDD toolkit for agent frameworks has gone no-contact. One of the maintainers has forked it. This is concerning as the original author maintains control of the associated NPM package.

I agree with the messaging generally, but unfortunately to fight implicitly unprofessional behavior with a terse response like this would look explicitly unprofessional!

No, this was in response to some questions about different approaches enterprises take to automated code quality review and complying with some arbitrary security standard out there. And this was a principal secops guy who thought the appro

Branches and worktrees exist and can effectively act as a "separate" history. At the end of the day you would still merge the changes in, possibly with a squash if you don't care about the little commits.

Just use git. If your agent (especially claude) doesnt seem to know how, there are skills and hooks and other options to make it work. My 2c.

by tfrancisl 5mo ago
Git is a particularly egregious one, imo. It has a simple cli and solves all of the problems presented here! Worktrees for "exploratory" work that you might throwaway, and otherwise atomic commits just make tracking changes and re

Not to belabor my point, but I think "adding support to tools for common hallucinations" is a bad idea. Sounds like something a vibecoded project being spammed with issues by agents might do. Not so much a serious, mature project,

I dont want "agent-native CLIs" to proliferate because I'd rather we design CLIs for human use and programmatic (automation) use first. Agents are good at vomiting json between tool calls, I am not, and never will be. Too man

2 questions. First, how does a vibe coded / generated fork or derivation pose security risks to the original work? Second, what is a "more appropriate channel" to express his opinions than the platform he has as a maintainer

I think this is a false dichotomy. You can feel and be more protected against crime while also being exploited for your data by a shadowy camera company. We should let the state step in to regulate Flock et al, assuming we can do something

by tfrancisl 5mo ago
This is true. I often forget because my state has an equivalent law.

by tfrancisl 5mo ago
I would guess the only way to make this data available long term is by regulation. Then again, I would hope Flock is subject to FOIA already if they are collaborating with state or local law enforcement...
