Why when they can just fork it and improve it on their own with AI?
Subsidized tokens aren’t forever & local models might not compete with an entire team of volunteers, I’d guess.
Even if they are subsidized forever and local models do compete, its still better to have 100 people improving it rather than 1.

all those youtube videos people upload nowadays aren't worth it, we already have keyboardcat (^ basically telling ppl creativity is done with, don't bother)
The parent comment is just pointing out that LLM written forks pushed out within hours of a “buzzy” repo release on GitHub are a pretty useless signal for gauging actual adoption/interest. Which is, IMO, accurate based on the state of the AI dev space in 2026. Stars/forks drafting off the hype from a well known name are constantly gamed for eyeballs/personal brand-building courtesy of free advertising via the Github…
I forgot the /s ;-)

OpenCode is a good baseline for "open-source harness with most the stuff already configured an average person will need".
Agree, after spending too much time and tokens configuring Pi and adding extensions to match other harnesses, I switched to OpenCode and left the Pi customization circle jerk. I have other things to do and IMHO harness engineers should do the harness engineering, I don’t want to waste tokens and time to build and benchmark extensions. Pi is great, but would be better with a set of official, trustworthy and efficient…
That’s basically what oh-my-pi is.

I had a very weird experience two days ago where Cursor-Grok-4.5 was either stuck in a loop (it would keep attempting to answer the prompt over and over), or else it would just quit halfway through a reasoning loop. Might have been that I was using omp, but it's still not the most stable thing out there. Nonetheless when it's working, it's pretty good, and for the price ($10 a month) is an absolute bargain.
What’s this $10 deal?
Find a referral code for Cursor. Sign up with first month half off.

Not that I would call California a left wing state, but prop 13 came about during Reagan, and it has been incredibly sticky afterwards even if it isn’t something that would pass today. Also, schools are funded by the state rather than via local property taxes mainly because of prop 13. It’s odd by American standards, but probably more closely resembles funding models of European countries more than other states do. B…
If you're not going to call California 'left wing', I wonder how many states in the US you'd call left wing? It seems fairly left wing to me, having visited a lot. EG, spending 4+ months there a year, for several years. Note that I'm not saying many of the polices are wrong , just that they're US labeled 'left wing'. Prop 13 I now see did change how taxation for schools was handled, so thanks for that info. I frankly…
I tied it depends on your bias? California is pretty capitalistic, the social safety net is still pretty light, elected leaders still look out for business interests rather than the people, and the people would stop electing them if they did otherwise. California only looks left wing compared to Texas, to the much of the world California looks pretty right wing, especially if you didn’t know it just got worse from there. Capitalists don’t flock to California because of the socialism.
I’m all for funding schools at the state or even national level and eliminating district inequality based on the price of housing. However, prop 13 creates huge unfair distortions in the tax base, where some people are paying super low taxes and other people are paying super high taxes, for the same property. Old millionaires who bought their home decades ago get a huge tax break and a struggling young family who just bought basically subsidize them. It’s the ultimate of ick. It’s definitely a great way to push the birth rate down.

I don't think you're allowed to define what good faith is if you can't read my mind And I don't even know what they censor now, it's just that the old system was more publically known Please don't be intentionally irritating
It was more publicly known because Musk made a big deal about the “Twitter files” which were a big nothing burger hyped up by musk and a bunch of journalists like Matt Taibi who were being led around by their nose by Musk. I remember watching an interview with two of the journalists in question and they were adamant that they had seen everything because they sat down with Musk and one of his engineers and the enginee…
I don't believe that that can be true. Taibbi is far too respected a journalist to just be willy nilly tricked like that. There really was government directed censorship

How does respect for a person make them untrickable.
And don’t believe me then, read the twitter files yourself. It was the Biden admin going, “these guys are breaking your TOS, please do something about it” and then Twitter _sometimes_ removing the content if they agreed it was breaking their TOS. There were no orders beings given by the government that Twitter was following.
And then as soon as musk got in he started censoring shit he didn’t like people using the word “cis” because he hates trans people ever since one of his sons transitioned to a daughter.

Not really because you're not building a database or GUI app where using native elements & data structures help a lot with memory pressure. TUI renderer is the one using the memory heavily so your terminal takes the heavy lifing. If you're managing the buffers and out-of-screen context good enough, Typescript can be pretty efficient.
I love opencode but it chews through memory on my 64gb MacBook Pro. Can’t have too many long running sessions because the memory use just slowly creeps up. It’s not about the terminal at all which as you noted accounts for minimal isage. It’s all the internal chat and history and everything else the agent tracks - all of which are smallish (and largish) strings allocated on the heap. I don’t have the same issues with…
What's the rust based tui that has same capability as opencode?

not 100% feature compatible but close enough in terms of capabilities that I use: codex, and grok build.
