i have a lot of sway over what git+cicd system my corporate overlord uses. As I am very Github alternative curious right now, if anyone is pushing alternative git+cicd stack, I wan…

What do you mean? like it doesn't doesn't know how to perform a actions on it like it does with the gh cli? fwiw in a different comment i cited gh cli X claude code as one of the r…

Another reason is Github Actions. For all of it's problems ( supply chain, reliability issues...to name a few ), it's tight integration with Github (not git) events is pretty great…

Yes, yes, yes. I think this is perfect natural experiment to see if saas moats really have gotten smaller...or if that was just an AI mirage.

One (small, stupid) reason for me is claude code works really well the gh cli.

Feels like a whole bunch of us are converging on very similar patterns right now. I've been building OctopusGarden ( https://github.com/foundatron/octopusgarden ), which is basical…

"treating generated code as opaque weights is a mental model shift worth stealing." That's why I stole it from strongdm.ai :)

Appreciate the thoughtful comment. I think there's a key distinction though: this isn't a conversational agent pipeline where you need to trace reasoning chains. The attractor loop…

Right now OctopusGarden logs every LLM call with token counts and cost, and the SQLite store records each run and iteration (spec hash, scores per scenario, generated code). So you…

Cool site/ good idea. Maybe I'm underestimating it (I probably am), but I don't think it's a huge leap from what I published today and that compliant vision you're tackling.

I built this over the weekend after reading about StrongDM's software factory (their writeup: https://factory.strongdm.ai/ , Simon Willison's deep dive: https://simonwillison.net/2…

GDAL is dope. Everything geospatial is built on on it. Props to osgeo.org for organizing the support and development for it for the past 2+(?) decades.

Let’s be honest, there is only one person at Mapquest in 2025.

I have a M1 8GB MacBook Air. I keep wishing I’ll run into a performance issue so I have an excuse to buy a new laptop, but it never happens. I also don’t use chrome because of all …

Works on my machine.

Distelli makes a great product!
