Sorry to be a party pooper I just don’t get the point.
It's a bit like bigtech but instead of product people voting on what gets merged, everyone gets a vote here.

#42> The website IS the repo. The repo IS the website. I wonder if we get something productive by end of 2026 from this repo. Who knows, maybe we solve AGI
Would have been even more absurd if code AND PRs were all AI generated by different coding agents
Nothing is stopping that from happening tbh

#43I'd expect even more chaos, let an LLM build the features and people vote.

#45The end product is... just the website? I feel like I'm missing something.
So it begins?
Once you have governance that people stick around for, you can decide to do anything

#47Am I the only one who's noticing that this "open chaos" project's most voted PRs are to add structure to the project (e.g., calculate +1/-1, etc.)?
I guess people just desire a certain amount of structure to their chaos :)

Merging the security threat is yet to be voted on

Most code by lines, perhaps, but not most code that works and is useful
Says who?
Says anyone who has tried to do anything requiring the smallest amount of computer science or computer engineering. These models are really great at boilerplate and simple web apps. As soon as you get beyond that, it gets hairy. For example, I have a clone of HN I've been working on that adds subscriptions and ad slot bidding. Just those two features required a lot of hand holding. Figma Design nailed the UX, but the actual guts/business logic I had to spend time on.
I expect that this will get easier as agentic flows get more mature, though.
Then the only place that novelty will occur is in the actual study of computer science. And even then, a well contexted agentic pipeline will speed even R&D development to a great degree.
One very bad thing about these things is the embedded dogma. With AI ruling the roost in terms of generation (basically an advanced and opinionated type-writer, lets be honest) breaking away from the standards in any field will become increasingly difficult. Just try and talk to any frontier model about physics that goes against what is currently accepted and they'll put up a lot of resistance.
