Oh my pi does it, not sure if that’s something from upstream or just a fork feature but from my experience it seems to work well

Usually I can’t stand scroll animated pages but they actually did a nice job at it.

Don’t think I have ever came across a queue to buy a laptop before but congrats to the framework team.

I actually really like that inverse Kickstarter idea, makes a lot of sense especially if you did some kind of enter some pain/problem, search through existing idea markets and you can throw money towards ideas that would solve whatever pain point you have. Builders would essentially just have a market of validated ideas and could submit a ‘bid’ before a set deadline and the finders would vote on which is best then the funds would resolve to whatever builder made the best product.

Never thought about the impact of comments, perhaps there is value in stripping those out of read file tools

Fair enough but the examples shown could surely just display some pre-cooked examples to give a demo of how rhe product works with no real cost to you or barrier to potential users.

Confused me at first as when I saw mention of local + the single file thing in the GitHub I assumed they were going to have llamafile bundled and went looking through to see what model they were using by default.

100%, trying a bit of an experiment like this(similar in that I mostly just care about playing around with different agents, techniques etc.) it has built out literally hundreds of tests. Dozens of which were almost pointless as it decided to mock apis. When the number of failed tests exceeded 40 it just started disabling tests.

And most of the big players now have some kind of browser or bowser agent that they could just leverage to gather training data from locked down sources.

^This 100%. Junior SWE here. Agentic coding has kinda felt like a promotion for me. I code less by hand and spend more time on the actual engineering side of things. There’s hype in both directions though. I don’t AI is replacing me anytime soon(fingers crossed), but it’s already way more useful than the skeptics give it credit for. Like most things the truth’s somewhere in the middle.

That’s why I like how OC handles sharing sessions https://opencode.ai/docs/share/

Wish other tools would copy this functionality(and maybe expand it so colleagues can pick up on sessions I share)
