I think being able to do this in a couple hours with AI is the point. He clearly used the yeet runtime to make it.

#12Thank you, but I won't even consider a yet another AI/LLM slop which will not be maintained in a few months, nor anyone will ever invest their life time into, too. > Hey everyone, I wrote this tool... Hey there. And yes, I don't you believe it's you who "wrote" it (where even the Readme file seems to be generated), nor you have experience enough in the so crucial subjects raised, to invest my own life time in the pro…
Hey, I'm the founder of yeet.
This tool was built on top of our engine: yeetd.
We put a lot of work into abstracting BPF into a JavaScript framework to give builders, human or agentic, the ability to use complex kernel primitives with a familiar programming model to build production grade, scalable infrastructure tools.
Our hope is that everyone here will soon be able to build their own tools on-demand, versus buying them.
We separate a lot of the data layer code from the presentation-level code, to make them re-usable and keep the test surface on the actual data's accuracy manageable across all the random edge cases that arise across CPU architectures, kernel versions, and environments like AWS ECS network namespace voo-doo.

#13Why is pointless sloppy-pasta like that, with the description written in llmish, upvoted?

Great we really need to read more patronizing emotional slop about AI.
Let me project it back at you; neighbors I sit around the fire pit with having beers talk of how sick of "software people" they are as we over complicated the world.
Everyone else happy to move on regardless of how it impacts software engineers same as software engineers ignored their work upended careers of others.
Of all the skills I have; learning from Michelin chefs, to playing multiple musical instruments, to hardware and software engineering; the only people who care about the eng skills are rich people who want to exploit my labor then lay me off.
As you requested; software devs are being held accountable for the role they had in ending others gigs. Call the waaaahmbulance.

#15If you're going to support the ADM-3A terminal up/down navigation characters k and j, also support the vi navigation characters Control+N and Control+P. And Control+S and Control+Q for pause/resume as well.

#16AI slop.

#17Oh man, this is cool. Have you considered adding sounds? That way you get a feel for what the system should sound like when it's operating normally, and then when something happens to change the rhythm of the machine, you can hear it.
(And don't mind the haters, some people don't want to embrace the new AI powered world, others are just happy building things that are useful.)

#18Off topic, but watching the output of this thing renews my disappointment that so many programming languages/frameworks fail to provide signal sender information to signal handlers. It’s there! Crusty ABI and historical reasons are, as far as I can tell, the only reason why languages like Python (and many others) don’t surface sigaction to handlers without unnecessary acrobatics. Sigh. We shouldn’t have modeled signa…
I think Rust deals with lowest-common-denominator APIs quite well, by introducing OS specific extensions (like std::os::unix).
There's no reason Python and Ruby can't provide the same.

#19I find it useful to see such a project. It's an interesting view of the system and a neat idea, I don't care if it's just a couple of ai prompts and will be abandoned next week or maintained for life, the idea itself is good to learn from and maybe used as a start for other useful tools for my work.
Thanks for sharing this.
