A daemon-focused CLI driven music player for GNU/Linux.
I recently got it working with playerctl by exposing it to dbus using zbus, great fun.

#173My side project is now codebase explainability. I basically don't buy the premise that we just have to give up on comprehension as code generation scales; I just think that text is too limited by itself. So going a step deeper than asking Claudex "teach me this project", but having it produce a navigable snapshot of what's going on. Big bang prototypes have been pretty awful, even after feeding the LLMs huge document…
Any promising techniques so far? I’m working on a rather large monorepo and very few people on the team are managing to keep up with it. Looking for ideas to improve comprehension.

#176Been building a open-source technical interview platform. Trying to keep the existing ideas of async coding assessments + live programming interviews, but want to add features for the new interview formats I see of take-home projects + AI coding agent interviews
