This is a great idea but I'm far less concerned about output token speed and way more about the ability to parallelize prefill - for agentic coding that's pretty much way more important than output speed.

I have bad news for you: for the majority of the population mental effort was always a foreign concept. That's exactly what got us in this mess in the first place.

Me: Paste a go compile error

Gemini: Wow, yeah, haha! That's the final boss of Go compilation errors!

The problem is they nerfed 5.5 about a month ago. The change was immediately visible to me: context compacting started to happen about 3x as frequently.

I think 5.6 is still not even close to 5.5 xhigh pre-nerf.

They mostly use public repositories though.

Absolutely, think "lick" vs "leak". I think the author means Hungarian maybe uses very similar looking letters to denote this (ie "lik" and "lík").

In Hungarian also every vowel comes in pairs of short-long: a-á (what vs high), e-é (ever vs eight), "o-ó" (moss vs most), "u-ú" (put vs you), "ö-ő" (fur vs ... well long version has no English equivalent I think but German does: schön).

I can imagine that happening when the motivation is external (praise). When I write open-source it's because I have to write it out of myself.

Do I expect praise, kudos, fame, whatever? I do and that happens, I have been hired countless of times because of open-source. Even my friends (!) have been hired because of open-source stuff I wrote and they contributed to.

But the main motivation is internal - I just have to see it take shape. Like a writer who can't resist painting or a writer who can't stop writing.

Do I have regrets still? Yeah because I could have used the time for better things. But that can be said about any hobby.

Repo: https://github.com/1backend/1backend

After some 12+ years of collecting microservices platform ideas in my head and implementing them at various companies and open-source projects, I decided to create a system that contains all of them.

1Backend is the result. Mostly built it for myself so I have a foundation to build projects on but I'd love if others would also use it!

I think that makes sense, AI could be used to evaluate and score the importance of contributions imho. In fact this is probably a business idea in itself...

I think the idea is fairly cool, although it's hard to come up with a way to judge contributions. How would you solve the legal part? In the end a business entity would still need to own things.

Would you perhaps sync ownership from time to time from the DAO to the real world?

I'm working on a few closed source projects that are all built on https://github.com/1backend/1backend, my dream microservices platform I've had in mind for 12 years before starting to implement it.

On the frontend I'm rather happy with Angular but backend-wise I was never really happy. So it was time to build it. Been developing it for more than a year now.
