    I'm sure they take detailed close out photos and likely video of the entire handling process.

    Really cool. It would be interesting to see a demo of an app that is clearly more bespoke, like your Tesla account, online banking, movie theatre ticketing, etc.

    I commented elsewhere but our team built a custom static analysis engine for JS/TS specifically for the dep update use-case. It was hard, had to do synthetic execution, understands…

    Totally hear you on the noise…but we should want to auto-merge vs ignore, no? Given the right tooling of course.

    We’ve built a modern dependabot (or works with it) agent: fossabot analyzes your app code to know how you use your dependencies then delivers a custom safe/needs review verdict per…

    Thanks for sharing, really helpful to see your thinking. I haven't fully embraced FaaS myself but never regretted it either. Curious to hear more about Renovate vs Dependabot. Is i…

    no, but still being super impressive. CEO of a company rebuilding a CAD rendering engine because they put an LLM on top of it. So you describe the mechanical specs of the part you …

    If a giant chunk of the constellation can act as a truly huge antenna, what can you get from that? Super high resolution? Seek/dwell time on a target that is effectively infinite?

    It requires you to go deep in both the code analysis and the research, which is expensive at their scale And, as someone who's start up (EdgeBit was acquired by FOSSA recently) wro…

    For reference, Rocket Lab's Electron has a wet mass of 13,000 kg. This rocket is much smaller at 1,312 kg wet mass.

    Curious if auto-merge philosophy changes between libraries and applications. The library definitely has a larger user base to break and a wider matrix of use-cases. IMO, auto-merge…

    How do you scale this besides keeping the dep list short? Are you reading every item or just scanning for words like "deprecated" or "breaking change"?

    How does a customer use this? Point it at a publicly available webapp? Run it locally against dev? Do I self-host it and continually run against staging as it's updated?

    Author of the post, love to see this here. Curious what folks are seeing in terms of consistency of the agents they are building or working with – it's definitely challenging.

    Fair criticism. I was going for the colloquial usage of "you get one shot" but yeah I did read that Google paper the other day referring to these as zero-shot.
