    I built a multi-agent alternative with Stream Deck and cmux/orca and it works pretty well -- particularly when you pair it with CodexBar and can easily see your token spend across …

    By far the most impactful product of the Apretus project are the people. To quote a memorable line from Dominique Paul ( https://www.thisiscrispin.com/ ): > What most people miss I…

    It's pretty rough to learn I sound like Claude. Will need to do something about it then. (For what it's worth I did write the message above manually but I understand why no one wou…

    Totally! I was really just trying to see if intra-container connectivity works, and this ended up being a very quick way of doing so. (The alternative being building and deploying …

    That is indeed a solid pushback! :) For what its worth, this container used `python:3.12.2-slim-bookworm` and I really would not expect that sort of an image to bundle `curl` -- ev…

    I have also had positive experience with doing this multiple times via multiple model families, and then to recursively have the fixes reviewed too. It's called review-anvil and do…

    To be fair, it's not like he did not read a single line of code that ended up being generated.

    This (multiple major outages a day) has unfortunately been happening for quite a while now -- on the 2nd of February, 2026 for instance. The GitHub Status Page does not visualize t…

    GitHub no longer publishes aggregate numbers so here they are parsed out. It looks like they are down to a single 9 at this point across all services: https://mrshu.github.io/githu…
